BLYTIELD RIVER IN'WINTER
Summer residents especially
may be interested in this view
of the highway bridge over the
Bayfield River, now locked in
Winter's grip.Taken from the
south shore looking east by No-
rth, the photo shows the bare
treme left. the ice-filled river
and snow laden surroundings.Big
ice hummocks have formed along
the shore of the lake and the
outer ends of both piers are sh-
owing damage from the pounding
and vacant boat club dock at ex- by the winter storms.(Staff Photo
There is a movement afoot to
encourage the organization of a
club by the Senior Citizens of
Bayfield.
There must be a high proport-
ion of citizens who have every
right to consider themselves as
being "senior" citizens in every
sense of the word. The idea is
that by banding themselves toge-
ther in a club, a wide range of
interests could be opened to them
right here in Bayfield.
Judging by the success such
groups have enjoyed in other cen-
tres, it is difficult to see why
it would not operate to equal ad-
vantage here.
As a reporter, your corresp-
cndent attended several meetings
of the Goderich club on special
occasions, and found the members
well pleased with the programs
their own committees had arrang-
ed. On some evenings there would
be guest speakers who would talk
on some topic of special inter-
est to older folk. One occasion
was when ex-mayor Ernie Fisher
of Goderich and Legion Zone Comm-
ander Eric Johnstone spoke on the
senior citizens' housing project
which was then in the planning
stage.
Ordinarily, the Goderich club
enjoys cards, crokinole, music,
singsongs, contests of various
kinds, and of course a tasty bit
of lunch at the close of the eve-
ning's program.

Reeve Fred Clift has acted in
what this newspaper considers a
correct way, in tendering his res
ignation as chairman of The Bay-
field Ratepayers' Association.
While the aims and objects of
Village Council and the Associa-
tion may presently coincide, it
may not always be so. Riding one
horse is difficult, let alone a
team. and there is no way of kno-
wing when the groups might head
on divergent courses.
Both of M.E. Merner's propos-
als to village council on the eve
of the inaugural meeting seem to
have come to pass. Scouts and
Brownies use the village hall;
the post has mysteriously gone
from the closed road used by loc-
al youngsters as a sleighing hill.
The members are not senile old
dodderers. Ages range from 65 on,
but age seems to fall away when
new interests and projects are
undertaken. These people do not
need to be spoon-fed. They elect
their own officers, appoint their
own committees and run their own
show, which includes paying their
own way.
Such an organization makes a
simple matter out of chartering
a bus for a trip to scenes of lee-
terest, near or far. Picnics, or
sight-seeing trips. fishing tripe
or jaunts to special events in
other centres become available at
nominal cost.
There is good reason to belie-
ve that the village hall might be
available to such a group for rag
ular meetings. Possibly the prop-
osed new addition to the local a-
rena might in the future become
a suitable locale for each a
group.
The possibilities for interest
ing activities are endless.We are
sure existing organizations in
the village would give full co-op
:ration.
Sparkplugging the idea locally
is Mrs. George Hopson who would
be pleased to hear from any res-
idents interested. Anyone wishing
to help with the project should
phone her or drop a note in the
mail. There's nothing to lose and
much to be gained.
The situation has come in for
some discussion locally, and one
man has ventured the view that as
long as there is one voter in the
village who is not a member of
the Association, he cannot be pr-
operly represented by a reeve
who also heads the Associatich.
Reeve Clift won his spurs as
leader of the ratepayers' group.
Ye are confident he will perform
equally well on behalf of the
village as a whole.
Seems we increased the bulk of
our mail by putting quite a few
subscription expired notices into
papers of readers paid up to a
year in advance. If there's a mis-
take available, we'll make it.
