IDEAL WEATHER FOR LOCAL FAIR
All Businessmen Invited To Attend
Meeting At Town Hall Here Tuesday
A general meeting of Bay-
field businessmen has been call-
ed for Tuesday evening, Octo-
ber 6, with the purpose of for-
ming an association which will
work for the betterment of
business and the Bayfield area
in general.
Invitations are being mailed
to about 50 individuals concern-
ed in one way or another with
retailing, accommodation, man-
ufacturing or some other line
of business in the immediate
area.
R. G. Shrier, chairman of the
Goderich Businessmen's Assoc-
iation has agreed to address
the meeting informally on how
a businessmen's group might
work to best advantage in a
community such as Bayfield.
Mr. Shrier, advertising man-
ager for The Signal-Star at
Glxlerich. has had extensive
experience in this type of work,
not only in Ontario centres but
in British Columbia.
Many Topics
A number of interesting sub-
jects have been teed up for
discussion, and it appears there
will be plenty for an organiza-
tion of this character to get its
teeth into.
Anyone conducting a busi-
ness in the Hayfield area is
cordially invited to attend, and
in the event of an organization
being formed, support it for the
mutual benefit of all local busi-
ness.

minimum charge 75 cents paid

Viewing the summer in ret-
rospect, one notes that a num-
ber of properties in the area
have changed hands and new
homes have been started and
in some cases completed.
The former Dr. W. Metcalf
home, now the property of
Brigadier G. L. Morgan Smith,
immediately springs to mind to-
gether with the Albion Hotel
now owned and operated by
Mr. and Mrs. Robison, after be-
ing the MacKay home for many
years.
Recent Changes
More recent changes of own-
ership are the Castle home on
Main St., now owned by Mr.
and Mrs. W. Turner; the Lind-
say home at the north end of
the village, now jointly owned
by Mrs. L. Poth and Mrs. F. A.
Clift.
The Johnston property near
the Bannister apartments, now
owned by Mr. B. Eckert, and
the McGee home on the Varna
Road recently purchased by Mr.
Moran, St. Catharines.
New homes in the village
the past year include: the one
built for Mrs. C. Talbot on

Brig. Frederick Clift said at
Historical Society board meet-
ing Monday night he was only
waiting for confirmation of
county constitution to go ahead
with Bayfield branch, which
has 14 members already.
Much-amended draft consti-
tution and bylaws were adopt-
ed after two-hour session in
British American building.
Article IX (Branches) says:
Children's Parade
Popular Feature
Beautiful fall weather beam-
ed on the 108th Hayfield Fall
Fair here today, resulting in
an excellent attendance and
ideal conditions for all the
many outdoor events.
As usual, the school child-
ren's parade, replete with gaily
colored costumes, banners and
flags, was a happy feature
starting off the afternoon pro-
gram. The several hundred
children joined in with zest.
following the Clinton March-
ing Band along the prescribed
route and into the fair grounds,
now known officially as Cen-
tennial Park.
At press time early Thurs-
day afternoon there was no
way of krurving whether or
not attendance figures would
approach record proportions.
Even though weather was per-
fect for the fair, it was also
good for the farmers who had
big bean crops requiring har-
vesting, and some district far-
mers were notable by their ab-
sence, presumably tied up with
this job.
An excellent line-up of indoor
exhibits was judged Wednes-
day afternoon and opened to
the public for several hours in
the evening. It is expected a
list of the principal winners
will be available to The Bullet-
in by next week's issue, along
with the results of the outdoor
events.
"It is in the interest of the
Society that local branches be
formed within the Society.
Such branches will be recog-
nized formally when they main-
tain a paid-up membership of
at least 10 in the Huron
County Society. It is suggest-
ed that the council of such
branches should consist of the
following: chairman, secretary-
treasurer, archivist and addi-
tional councillors as required."
