FOR beautiful weather and sunshine at the Beach this
year has not been exceeded. The annual concert
was unusually ,good and the Sports day one of the
best in many years.

A new cottage was built by Rev. Gordon Rintoul
of Forest. and enlargements made by Rev. C. A. Malcolm.
Mr. W, H. Collins of Kitchener, who was transferred
to Montreal. sold his cottage to Rev. J. W. McNamara.
who returned to the Beach after a number of years
absence. The Rev. D. G. Paton of Teeswater erected a
cottage and Mr. J. F. Ross of Guelph purchased the
Johnston Cottage. Mr. Ross is welcomed to the Beach
as a valuable member of the fraternity.

The Cottagers who had formed themselves into a
Joint Stock Company to take over the option of Messrs.
Kennedy and Wilson received a Charter. The name inserted
in the same was The McCosh-Grove Ltd.' At its
first annual Executive meeting Rev. W. A. Bradley was
elected President in the place of Me James S. Anderson,
deceased.

Two Tennis courts were laid out on the property
at the top of the hill, and surrounded by a wire fence.
Mr. Bradley's garage at the entrance gate was taken
over by the Company and moved to a convenient place
as a house in which to store the golf horse-mower and
other implements.

At the annual meeting of the Association there was
some excitement over the notice that had come to one
of the cottagers from the Government to pay up or his
claim would be cancelled. The committee having the
matter in charge were instructed to interview the Government
and also to make them an offer for the property.

A representative from the Pyrene Fire Extinguisher
manufacturing Company was present, and demonstrated
the powers of their extinguisher, Several Cottagers gave
orders for the contrivance.

Sorrow was expressed at the untimely taking away
of Mr. James S. Anderson. who bad been one of the oldest
and most active members of the Association, and a
committee was appointed to convey the sympathies of
the members to the bereaved wife and family.
To beautify the surroundings of the 'Cottages, ,Mr.
Kennedy procured 2000 pine trees to be planted on the
Cottagers' lots and on the property of the McCosh-Grove
Limited.

Officers: President, Mr. J. E. Robertson; Vice Pres.,
Dr. G. Wilson, Sec.-Treas., Rev. H. J. Harnwell.

THE year 1933 was. a year of pleasure and progress at
the Beach. The cottages were all filled by tenants or
their owners throughout the holiday season. The
weather was exceptional fine during the months of July
and August.

Sports day, while threatening rain in the forenoon,
cleared up, and a delightful afternoon was spent. The
concert in the evening had a record attendance, and the
programme was up to its usual quality.

The Tennis Tournament was of particular interest
tIm year. All the divisions met on No. 1 courts. Refreshments were served to more than 100 guests.. The
club was invited to a friendly game with Kincardine
and sent 12 players.

At the annual meeting of the Association a petition
was presented by tenants and owners of cottages asking
the Association to take steps to prevent or regulate the
motor traffic on the shore.

After much discussion in which the legal phases
of the matter were explained by Mr. McCrae-president
of the Law School, Toronto, and His Honor Judge West
the following resolution was adopted.

Whereas Bruce Beach has been long noted as a
quiet retreat where the lakefront has been a playground
for the children, The Bruce Beach Campers' Association
would respectfully request every cottage owner, renter or
tenant, to use motor cars on the Beach only when necessary, and then to exercise care and consideration for
children."

The secretary was instructed to procure cards for
distribution in all the cottages calling attention to this
matter, and also to have signs erected along the shore
calling attention to the shore speed limit.

It is a long call from the early days when the Beachers went begging for some merchant in Ripley or Kincardine to bring supplies to the Beach, without success
until 1933. when canvassers from both Ripley and Kin-
the Beach soliciting orders for their firms, and the Dominion Store, Kincardine, holding an afternoon tea on
the Golf grounds and inviting all cottagers to attend.

But 1933 will be remembered as the year in which
the Golf Club erected a beautiful little club house at
the first tee, also the presentation of two handsome cups
to the Club. One by Mr. C. W. Yates to be contested
for by our own club and one by Mr. C. R. Miller to be
contested for by the Kincardine and Bruce Beach Clubs,
and also the presentation by the Kincardine Club of a
nice flag to be flown from the flagstaff of the Bruce
Beach Club at the first Tee.

Officers: President, Dr. J. W. McNamara; Vice
Pres., His Hon. Judge West; Sec-Treas., Rev.
H. J. Harnwell.
