Harborville Attracts Many Visitors
Popular Shore Resort, With Its Bracing Atmosphere, A Delightful Spot For The Summer Vacation.
Harborville as a popular summer resort is going strong these days; indeed the season promises to eclipse all previous records. Visitors are arriving daily and already nearly all of the available cottages are either occupied or booked for several weeks ahead. And why not!
Indeed it is doubtful if any other resort on the Bay Shore can offer visitors such wholesome attractions as this little gem of such picturesque setting.
The land-locked harbor, with its various sailing and motor craft at anchor, all trim and resplendent in new paint, is not only a delight to the eye but also is suggestive of the fact that the spirit of good old seafaring days is by no means extinct.
Up the cliff, in the vicinity of Seaside Park, the view is truly magnificent, with cottages peaking out here and there from the luxuriant foliage surrounding.
The shore, too, at flood tide particularly, with bathers enjoying the cool surf and children playing in the sand, are unmistakable evidences that the holiday season is at its height.
As already stated in a previous issue, the people of Berwick and surrounding districts are fortunate in having so near at hand, such an attractive and easily accessible summer resort as Harborville, with its cool sea breezes and charming surroundings.
Among the visitors the past week who are occupying Mr. Ben Bezanson's cottages on the Shore Boulevard, are Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Calkin and family, of Welsford; the former's daughters, Mrs. (Dr.) C. M. Bain and daughter, of Sydney, and Mrs. Miles Palmer and children, Welsford; Mr. and Mrs. Max Brydon and family, Base Line Road, and MR. and Mrs. Edson Bowlby and family, of White's Corner.
Dr. and Mrs. Balcom and daughter Pauline spent the week-end at their summer cottage.
Mrs. (Dr.) MacKinnon and three children are occupying one of the Seaside Park cottages for the season.
Miss Margaret Killam, of Woodville and Misses Eileen Clemm and Ruby Morton and party, of Somerset, have been occupying the Congdon cottage during the past week.
Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Patterson have opened their cottage at Turner's Brook.
Mrs. H. C. Marsters and daughter Margaret spent the week-end at their cottage, Ogilvie's Wharf.
Mr. Ben Bezanson's two-master, which had been tied up since last fall, was floated on Sunday night's tide, and with his smaller schooner, the Viola B., is now ready for sea.
