EDITORIAL

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.

Dear Mr. Elliott:
Please find enclosed $5.00 for
a year's subscription to The
Bulletin.
I am probably a couple of
weeks late in sending this and
was afraid I might have missed
an issue or two of The Bulletin.
However, I was very pleased to
receive the past week's issue
although it did make me a
little homesick. On Page One
was an account of the "gather-
ing of the clan"—my uncle, H.
F. 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
