Life Guards, Los Angeles (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  Los Angeles County Lifeguards, by Arthur C. Verge books.google.com/books?id=ukpkvGQvbY4C suggests (a) that Venice had lifeguards by 1909 and (b) after lifeguard teams across Los Angeles had been combined, LA county's first female lifeguard was hired in 1930. So I wonder whether these are women replacing men during WWI. Or did women have special guard responsibilities related to children?

  The reel at right, under the bell, must be to help pull people to safety. The notice on the post reads, "Break Glass, Turn Button, in case of danger."
