HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Bayfield Bulletin, 1964-09-24, Page 2Page 2—Bayfield Bulletin—Thurs., September 24, 1964 EDITORIAL By ART ELLIOTT Times Change FARMERS who have had it in mind to sell out and retire had better take a look at things in the light of recent developments. According to Doug Miles, "Ag. rep." for Huron County, property up in the favored township of Ashfield has appreciated from $25 to $100 in the past year. Per acre, that is. The demand comes from cash crop people in Southern Ontario and The United States who have a pretty good idea of what they are after. A word to the wise should be sufficient. Yester- day has nothing to do with this question. The mar- ket is "today". Find out what it is before you sell out. If money means nothing, go ahead, sell out. But bring your own crying towel. Vote Required THERE doesn't appear to be much doubt about it, there will be no easier channel to liquor licenses in the village than through the business of the vote. Amateur soothsayers have rumored that what they thought was a "wet" category for the village at it's last time of incorporation would prevail. Pres- ent available information has them wrong. There will have to be a vote, and only a preponderantly "yes" vote will prevail. People who want to drink in their homes and cottages can do so. Under existing laws they can bring their booze with them and content themselves according to their own lights. Casual visitors, transient tourists, are denied the rights to which they are probably accustomed, of hav- ing beer, or wine, or liquor with their meals in Bay- field. Let's make it plain at the outset. We are not interested in beverage rooms as such. We believe that pople who want wine or beer or liquor with their meals at Bayfield hostelries should have it. And we nail this flag to the mast. High Hopes THE MERITING of a group of representative business men and women at The Little Inn the other night gives rise to the hope that a coherent group of business people can be formed to look after the requirements of business in this immediate area. Until now, this area has been neglected or left to the hands and wishes of people not necessarily engaged in business and not necessarily interested in it. It is high time that the commercial people in this bailiwick took an interest in their own af- fairs, and it is encouraging to see that they are doing so, judging by the turnout at The Little Inn Wednesday night. There are a number of elementary things that could be done without much fuss or expense that would help business in the village, and it is only for lack of co-operative action that these minor projects have not been carried out. Now there is some hope that these projects will be carried out, without prejudice to the frequently expressed view that the quaintness and uniqueness of Bayfield should not be lost. It was noteworthy that the merchants, in their informal meeting the other night, sought to stay within the bounds of what they thought to be majority thinking, in regard to street lighting. Brains were cudgelled to think of where old style gas-type lamps might be found, and every thought was given to preservation of our "quaintness". It is all very well for retired people who more or less "have it made" to arrive and make their claims. Having regard to these claims on quiet and peace, we will assert our right to make a living, not yet having it "made". We have no intention of being hamstrung in the name of antiquity.

Baker, showed his slides and movies of his recent trip to Europe. While visiting Bay- field this summer, my children and I had the pleasure of a More Subscribers Join "Family" The Bulletin's "family" of subscribers continues to grow steadily as present subscribers renew and new subscribers are added to the list each week.
