The thread ‘News Article From 1954’ gives the names of a vast aray of social groups and organizations that were on the beach. These must have created a strong sence of community involvement and social responcibility.
Where the articles reported activities such as euchre parties that were held in private homes, not only were the names of the hostesses given, but also those of the peaple who won the various prizes. As well, the names of the leaders of the cub, brownies, guides, and sea scoutes are given, as well as those of church group leaders.This would seem to indicate that everybody on the beach knew the names of all of the residents.
I have coppied some of the names of the clubs and organizations here.
If anyone has memories of their participation in any of these organizations, please post them.
the Bell Cairn Memorial Home and School Association
the Beach War Veterans' Association
the Beach Yacht Club
The Burlington Beach Property Owners Association
The Good Neighbours Club
The Guide and Brownie Mothers Auxiliary
the Scout Mothers Auxiliary
the 25th Wolf Cub Pack and Sea Scout Group
the Women's Auxiliary of St. Andrew's-by-the-Lake Anglican Church
Community Groups Promote a Sence of Social Responcibility
” The emergency phone number stickers will be delivered by the 25th Sea Scout Troop”
I presume that this refers to the phone number of the beach residence who had the fire siren on his house and whose responcibility it was for activating it when a beach resident called to report a fire. And so it would seem that the beach Sea Scoute Troop was responsible for delivering these stickers to all the beach residents.
