I frankly do not pretend to know what is right and what is wrong when it comes to questions of behaviour or con- duct and drinking habits, apart from actual crime. I was raised in a different atmosphere, an- other age and a more rigid regime. Hence, the compara- tively quiet and peaceful Bay- field, with some of the kindly, neighbourly touches of a lost Ontario, appeals to me. I The old Gairdner home on Main Street in Bayfield was once the site of the village • post office. There is still hang- ing in the residence the framed N. I rules and regulations of the 19th century for, Sabbath ob- servance, which sound amusing 'rind Puritanical to us today. They include strict regulations in regard to the sale and dis- tribution of papers on Sunday "ni stern rules in regard to bathing. • • • I do not soy that Bayfield is any more religious than most Ontario villages and towns, but with a population of five hund- red in the winter time, and c'•-yible that number in the summer, it has no fewer than five churches. Curiously, the five grew out of the church union. Before church union, Bugled had three churches. They were the Anglican Chur- ch, which celebrated its centen- ary several years ago; a Methodist church and a Pres- tyterian. The Methodists and a large number of the Prestry- terns decided to join church ,inion and St. Andrews Pres- byterian Church, facing Clan Gregor Park became the wor- ^hinpirrg place of the new Un- ited Church. • • • However, the protesting Pres- byterians built a new church on Main Street. Then t h e Methodist Church was sold to the Roman Catholics. who pre- viously had to drime five miles down the Bluewater highway to the French settlement for Mass. Several years ago the fundamental Baptists built a! new church. All the women's ; organizations of the various churches hold weekly sales of pies, cakes, cookies. bread, • etc., to the cottagers. It is one of the features of the summer at Bayfield. But I do not want to leave; the impression that Bayfield I and Huron County are not modern, up-to-date and pro- gressive. There is no large city in Huron County, but no coun- ty in Ontario has so many at- tractive small towns -- God- erich, Clinton, Hensall, Wing- ham, Seaforth, Exeter, Zurich and I must add Bayfield, soon to be an incorporated village. They may be modern, but fortunately they still have some of the atmosphere and the air of the old Ontario. This is the reason that so many Bayfield old boys, including men like Bishop Townshend and university professors like Prof. Kalbfleisch and Prof. Walter Thompson, retire to Bayfield or seek summer rest here. • • • I have frequently called Bayfield *he Peter Pan of Can- adian cities. It was laid out for a city, but like Peter Pan has refused to grow up. As long as this mood remains it will continue, to old-timers like myself, to be an attractive KITCHIGAMI TOURIST CAMP • Family Picnics • Tenting • Cottages Only 5 Miles North of Bayfield, Hwy. 21 Tel: 524-6494 AS THE WORLD WAGS ON Bayfield Retains Old Ontario Charm By ARTHUR R. FORD Free Press Editor Emeritus Tije Katie Inn BAYFIELD, ONT. (Continued From Page Three) the large American cities, where Sunday sport was per- mitted and Sunday theatres operated, horrified Ontario. When I went to Victoria Col- lege tin Toronto, a Methodist institution, in the early part of this century, dancing was outlawed. What were called "promenades" took its place at college functions. Smoking amongst the students was al- most unknown although a couple of rebel professors in- dulged in pipes. A few daring students occasionally risked their reputations by attending downtown burlesque shows. One of the chief features of Toronto Sundays was the par- ade of silk-topped nabobs with their well - dressed wives and families to the fashionable churches on Sherbourne and Jarvis streets — now streets of sin. Toronto was in reality what it was called, "Toi onto the Good", and "Toronto. the City of Churches". • • •
