The Bayfield Post, 1982-06-18, Page 1The Bayfield Post ISSUE A - 22 Editor's Corner If you have walked or driven by Clan Gregor Square within the past year you may have noticed a rag flying from the flag pole. The material in question used to be our flag, but by no stretch of the imagination does it resemble a flag now, nor has it for -•the past several months. Out of respect for our national emblem either a new flag should replace the torn fragment that is there now, or what is there should be taken down. It is hard to understand how such an im- portant symbol in our village could be so ignored for so long by those responsible. It is just a little thing you might say, however when you think about it, what else is there but little things? Want to help make our village newspaper more readable and interesting and present a better Bayfield image to our visitors at the same time? Well, rather than plaster our trees, poles and posts with various notices and advertisements why not put them in the Bayfield Post. It doesn't cost anything to put a news item or notice of a meeting in the paper where all can see it. It doesn't cost anything to publish a short report of a club's activity where all can read it. It doesn't look that great going down Main Street and seeing a sign, poster, or notice on every other utility pole. Whether there is a by-law or not against such a practice is beside the point. Vil- lage pride should discourage turning our picturesque landscape into a common ad- vertising forum. In place of a newspaper one could use a town bulletin board. But whatever method one uses allowing the street to be lined with paper or cardboard hardly says it with class. PRESBYTERY HOLDS MEETING HERE The Presbytery of Stratford -Huron of the Pres- byterian Church of Canada held its regular Spring meeting here in Bayfield this past Wednesday. The Spring meeting is held in Bayfield to show support for the local church. Reports of the General Assembly of the Church held in Toronto last week were read and dis- cussed. Rev. Bert Vancook, Moderator, told the Post that the Church is committed to the concept of the ordination of women. Those who are ordained and who disagree may express their disagreement but they are nonetheless expected to take part in the ordination ceremony of women. A special guest at the meeting was Rev. Clement Ndovie from Malawi who is studying in Canada and working in St. Mary's, Ontario.
