These girls, all between
16 and 20 years old,
:39:23
who parade in the streets
of Sydney,
:39:25
belong to the Life
Savers Girl Association,
:39:28
that is, the girls
who rescue the people
:39:31
who are about to drown
in the Pacific Ocean.
:39:34
So now the Australians
have two Armies:
:39:38
The famous Salvation Army,
whose goal has been,
:39:40
for a long time,
the rescuing of the souls
:39:43
and this one,
more recently established,
:39:45
whose goal is
the rescuing of the body.
:39:47
But, to avoid unpleasant
misunderstandings,
:39:51
the two armies have been
given different uniforms.
:40:03
Today, the Association
celebrates, on Manley Beach,
:40:07
the decade of its formation
with a big display.
:40:10
Of course,
under the circumstances,
:40:12
the rescues are imaginary,
therefore, any reference
:40:14
to real drowned people
is purely coincidental.
