Summary
The June 1956 Beaver Beacon reports that twenty men and eight trucks began the May 12 harbor cleanup under Father Joseph’s chairmanship. Work reached the Conservation Dock before rain interrupted it; the earlier May issue had announced the project.
Evidence and limits
The May notice and June report document an interrupted cleanup effort, not a completed project. No work inventory, attendance roster, owner permissions, disposal record, or later completion report is inferred.
