ROAD COMES UP, TILES GO DOWN
Bayfield Ratepayers' Association
Holds Second Annual Meet
The second annual general meeting of Bayfield
Ratepayers' Association was held in the Village
Hall Friday July 23. President Jack Tillman pres-
ided and welcomed all present. Following the min-
utes of the 1964 annual meeting, Mr. Tillman, in
his report, recalled the formation of, and the aims
of the association and the work done in preparat-
ion for the incorporation hearing. He said that the
success of these efforts had been gratifying and
that the BRA should assist wherever possible in
major community projects, such as the present st-
ruggle to prevent closing of the Bayfield school,
but should also press for action in other matters
such as repairs to the steps leading to the beach
and treatment of unpaved roads to keep down the
dust.
Brig. G.L.M. Smith, chairman of the Eayfield Cen
tennial committee was invited to address the meet-
ing. In his opening remarks he called for an exp-
ression of thanks to retiring and former executive
members of BRA.(Applause). Conttnuing, he said the
association was an excellent example of democracy
working "at the grass roots", a welcome change
from the apathy present in many cities where the
people appear content to "let the government do it"
Commenting on the Centennial project, Brig. Smith
said that the federal grant would match the amount
raised by the community and the Lions Club there-
fore had a lot of sup7ort. He hoped to call a
meeting of interested people in the near future,
and asked all present to eonsider what assistance
they could offer.
Mr.,Tillman hoped that the association would con-
tinue with its announced intention to retain the
best aspects of the village while promoting its
future. He also said that due to ill health he was
resigning from the executive forthwith.
Typical of the uptorn condition of the streets
and highways in the Bayfield-Clinton area is this
scene on Victoria Street near Maria in Clinton
where large tiles are being installed in a deep
excavation. Elsewhere in the area work continues
on the Clinton-Bayfield road, on Highway No. Four
and Highway No. Eight toward Goderich. Work is
also proceeding on nine miles of paving toward
Wingham. (Bulletin Photo)

The Bulletin Closing Down
For Two-Week Vacation
Owing to the fact that the printers
of The Bayfield Bulletin at The Wing-
ham Advance-Times are taking the next
two weeks as their annual vacation,
The Bulletin has no choice but to do
likewise, even though in the midst of
the busiest season of the year. Some
consideration was given to making do
at another shop for the two weeks, but
this idea was discarded in view of the
serious tie-up in mails resulting
from the postal strike.
