Bayfielders are rightly concerned about the future of the fine school we have here, and showed at the Stanley Township election that they are pre- pared to come out and vote en masse for men favoring the continuation of the present system. While it may appear there has been, some hair- splitting when it comes to application *Of . the law, there does not seem to be any recourse. Bayfield, it seems, will now be entitled to one trustee as a representative of the village. It would be folly of a flagrant kind to toss away the facilities we have here, and abandon a fine modern building so handy to our youngsters in favor of an area scheme. It is to be earnestly hoped that common horse sense will prevail in the long run, and no hasty decisions will be made. There must be some sensible compromise that will utilize these facilities and still satisfy the requirements of the remainder of the school area. By and large, the men that volunteer to serve on school boards have the best interests of the children at heart, as well as the interests of the ratepayers as such. Until the time when these inter- ests are not served, we'll hold fire. El I:1 Lots Of Talent IT HAS COME to us that Brigadier Frederick Clift has indicated that he would accept a nomina- tion for the position of reeve of the newly re- incorporated Village of Bayfield. Frank McFadden, chairman of the board of trustees has been prom- inently mentioned as a possible candidate for the same post. The scuttlebutt one hears around the village seems to divide itself into pros and cons on the basis of seniority of residence as against demonstrated qualification. There may be other aspirants for the office presently in the "dark horse" category. This might be a good thing too. We suggest that the best possible situation would be a good knock 'em down and drag 'em out election with contests for all offices. This is the best way to clear the air in such a way that everyone can settle down to work and know that the government has been selected in the best of democratic traditions. It is understood that a meeting of the executive of The Bayfield Ratepayers' Association will convene Sunday with the purpose of guaranteeing that well qualified candidates will be named and agree to accept nominations. This is perhaps one of the most im- portant functions left to the Association, following on the excellent work done to date on gaining the re-incorporation. This does not seem to be the time for acclama- tions. Let's have a contest this year. If we get superlative local government as a result, then ac- clamations might be in order next year.
