And now that I look back at the thread I don't believe that the picture shown from the 1980 Beach Pics (#14) is of the place that I remember as Dalzell's. This place (pic #14) was, in fact, nearer the south end of the Beach and I don't think I ever went there. It was too far from home but I remember seeing it from the car. Dalzell's was next to the Texaco and on the other side of the Texaco (the north side) was a butcher shop owned by a Beach guy named Noel .......? He was robbed one day and the robbers knocked him on the noggin and locked him in his meat cooler where he was found quite a bit later by a curious customer. I'll bet that would be in the Spectator files. I wish I could remember his last name...he was actually a friend of my father's. Must have occurred in the late 50's. I will probably remember his name the moment I post this.

Crawfish;
I have asked another resident from back then and he tells me that the store south of the Texaco was called Walker's. Any memories?
Maybe I should check with the Santini's and see if they a picture from back then.

If you remember, let me know. Might be able to look it up at the Library.

The name was Noel Hughes. I knew it would come to me eventually.

I guess I will admit defeat on the Dalzell's discussion. Blame it on my age. I will now reprogram my memory to read "Walker's" instead of Dalzell's.
I should also correct a something in the Noel Hughes story. I think it took place in the late 40's not the late 50's as I said in the previous post.
Does anybody remember the pressed paper fireman's hats that Texaco gave out as premiums in the 40's?

Crawfish,
This item in ‘Beach Articles From 1954’ refers to ‘nowle’s Meat Market’.

A most successful social was held by the Catholic Ladies Club at the Church of the Little Flower. Mrs. Fred Jento and Mrs. W. Pett were the hostesses Prizes were won by Mesdames J Nixon, H. Miljure, W. Pett George Camanti, W. Leeming D. E. Kerr. The next social will be the annual euchre and bridge at the school auditorium on Saturday, April 24 at 8 p.m. There is still insufficient material for cancer dressings. Any clean cotton, flannelette sheeting, etc, is acceptable and can be left at Noel's Meat Market, Pett's store, Mrs. F. Gilchrists', Mrs. Jentos' home.”
