Long before we moved up to Bayfield we thought we would like to publish a weekly newspaper for the area. The thought has now become a reality. After the initial static that comes with anything new the Bayfield Topic was well received by the community and showed that the people of Bayfield want a weekly paper. We felt that the people of Bayfield and its surrounding community need a means of communicat- ing with each other not only in the summer but through- out the year. This is what we hope the Bayfield Post will be all about. We hope it will be a means by which peo- ple can express their views on what- ever subject. To say what they think. To praise with hon- esty or to disagree with charity. People who do not know how to knock ideas around usually end up by knocking heads around. The Post should give us a chance to do the former. What's going on in the village or near- by? The Post will have it. By Bob Burton The paper is going to be distributed free or at no cost to the reader. The reason for this is that we want the paper to have the widest possible circulation. This, of course, is of benefit to our advertisers. It goes without saying therefore that the people who will keep the paper alive and function- ing will be our advertisers. We need them and we welcome their support. I hope they will see in time that they need. tt us. Above all, a local newspaper gives a town or village, along with its neighbours a sense of community. A iur sense of communitym is when we begin t� see things from a brcader perspective, when we begin to think and feel as a community and not just as an indivi- dual. When we begin to care for the person down the street, the other side of town, or the neighbour farmer. This is what it's all about. EDITOR'S NOTE: If we failed to notify you of the beginnings of the Bayfield Post, it was not intentional. We welcome all news, information and advertising. iqu b %% ai4ti 11ipoat CLEAN YOUR SEPTIC TANK NOW Before Bad Weather Arrives CALL 565-2795 S. J. Shanahan The following is an account of an interview the Editor of the Post had with Mrs. Kay McLeod of McLeod's Fishery this past week. "You can't catch Whitefish during a full moon." The above was just one piece of information your editor gathered on a visit to McLeod's Fishery during the past week. 4 The price of fish ran from $4.35 a pound for pickerel to $3.25 for whitefish or trout. Question - What kind of season did you have this year? Answer - Not a very good one. It's picking up now but the summer was not good. The fishing in Lake Erie has ben very good this summer. We have a boat down there now. Perhaps Lake Huron is too clean. Lake Erie have several more by comparison and the trips on their agend;t more to eat. It coming up soon, whicl way anyway. However includes the Simcoe Lake Huron is good now. Lights. Thursday night, Sept. 24, at 6 P.M. the club is having al salmon.

It's a gamble. You have to be a gambler to be a fisherman. You have to be patient. Sometimes you get a good catch, other times you might get nothing. Question - What kind of pay does a fisher- man get? Answer - Fishermen work on the share system. The boat gets half the catch and the crew get half. If a boat has a crew of five men, each crew member would get paid for one tenth of the catch. So it depends on the size of the catch what kind of money the fisherman makes. No fish, no money.
