Beach, Tuesday, Feb. 22, 1921 - The cold spell over the last week-end made mote ice and the crop being cut this week at the bottom of South Park Avenue, stop 9, is 11 inches thick. "Matt" Warner, manager of the Cloverdale Creamery company, announced that his firm will cut all this week if possible, as 1000 ton of ice are needed to fill their plant.
The fire at the home of Alex. Macdonald, stop 6, yesterday was the first serious fire here since the fall of 1918, when 13 simmer cottages were totally destroyed on the north tide of the canal at stop 24. Extra praise is still being given to all those who helped to quench the fire yesterday. It is felt that a volunteer fire brigade should be organized. The beach commission, it is hoped will start something along these lines at once.
It is reported that restrictions again sailing craft using the canal this coming summer are to be made by the government in order to have the G.T.R. bridge left over the canal as often as possible for the convenience of pedestrians. Engineer j.M. Wilson is expected on the beach early next month to look over the work in progress on the new bridge.
A rare treat is in store for the children of the bungalow school tomorrow afternoon, when Prof. H.R. Kemp, a lecturer at Toronto universary, will exhibit some motion picture of scenes laid in Germany. All parents of the children are cordially invited to attend. The people are asked to be in their seats by 4 o'clock when the performance begins.
Miss Reta Lynch, stop 4, bad at her guest Sunday last. Miss Irene O'Mara of Hamilton.
The residence near stop 9, formerly owned by James Scott, but now the property of James Cabow, is likely to be sold.
The custom followed by the radial company of stopping cars between, at Well as at regular stops in winter, will be discontinued early next month.
Little Albert Taplin, who fell into an open spot on the bay yesterday afternoon, is none the worse for his experience.
Walter Dynes is on the road to recovery after a week or more suffering from erysipelas.

A SEA LION?
Beach Ladies Saw Strange Looking Creature
June 10, 1916 - Many fish stories have been beard in this and previous years by vacationists, but none quite so strange as that told by two ladies residing near station 4 at the beach. They saw a large object a the water not far from shore which at first sight led them to beieve a cow or some other domestic animal had gone out into the water over its depth. As they moved toward the shore the object moved away and its large, piercing eyes presented a sight which made the young ladies hesitate before going much closer. Just then the body gave a slight leap from the water and to them appeared to be of a brownish color. It then proceeded to use what looked much like flippers and paddled away. Accordng to the description of this object of the deep looked like a sea lion although far from its habitat.
