Page 2—Bayfield Bulletin—Thurs., November 19, 1964
IT IS NO SECRET that the Ontario Municipal
Board was taken by surprise by the large and en-
thusiastic attendance of Bayfield residents at the
public hearing in the village hall Thursday.
The Bulletin was informed unofficially that the
board expected possibly a straightforward two-hour
hearing, and did not anticipate a prolonged question-
ing of witnesses such as did develop.
One would almost think that a criminal trial was
being tried, judging by the third degree attitude of
some of the legal representatives. No doubt they
intend to give their clients and the large audience
"their money's worth".
The arguments for re-incorporation as presented
by Brig. Frederick Clift and H. H. Ormond seem
valid enough, in view of the preponderance of opinion
for the move. There has been some criticism that
inadquate planning has been done as to how the new
villag might finance itself. Surely this should be up
to the new councillors, whoever they might be.
The hearing was still in session at press time, and
The Bulletin is in the same position as everyone
else. Wait and see.
AFTER A MIXED bag of weather in the past
two weeks, Winter has finally pounced on the
countryside and long underwear is the order of the
day.
Those who postponed the purchase of antifreeze
are having sudden second thoughts, and those with-
out winter overshoes can be seen heading for their
haberdasher.
There are always those who procrastinate until
or after the last minute. Now the frost is not only
on the pumpkin but on the puddles to a thickness
of half an inch or more.
Now the shoe, overcoat and oil men can chuckle.
They are about to come into their own.
IT SHOULD ESCAPE no reader's attention that
the merchants of Bayfield are going out after business
and in the weeks to come plan to offer bargains that
will attract shoppers from the surrounding area.
Under the auspices of the recently-formed Bay-
field Businessmen's Association, the business people
are going after business, and with the co-operation
of the residents of the area, hope to be able to bring
about much-needed improvements in the village.
Watch the advertising columns in The Bulletin
from now until Christmas especially, as special events
bound to be of interest to shoppers are being plan-
ned by local merchants. They want the business
and are willing to make it sufficiently interesting
for area residents to make a special point of shopping
at home to get the bargains.

Diary of a Vagabond
What Constitutes A Souvenir?
It has never failed to happen
to me as I have travelled west
on the •CIN's Super Continental
or east on its Ocean Limited,
that someone has asked me
what they could take home as
an authentic souvenir of their
visit to Canada. My travelling
companions who have stumped
me with this question have been
natives from many lands but
more frequently from across
the border. The United States
tourist is an avid souvenir
shopper and a free spender.
In the past we haven't even
tried to compete in the souvenir
market. For the most part we
have left this lucrative field to
the Europeans and the Japan-
ese. This summer, however,
while in the west, I saw ex-
cellent displays of typical pot-
tery with B.C. ceramic mark-
ings. It worried me a little
that we might become associat-
ed mostly in the minds of our
visitors with Thunder Birds,
Totem poles and Ookpiks un-
til I met Raymond J. Kersey,
Industrial Commissioner with
the Department of Industrial
Development, Trade and Com-
merce in the British Columbia
Government.
While giving any industry
producing authentic souvenirs
his blessing and all the en-
couragement they need, Ray
Kersey, who is a real push be-
hind the talented B.C. crafts-
men, has a dream he nourishes
so fondly it cannot help but
become a reality.
One day in the future, the
causeway in Victoria's harbor
is slated for redevelopment. At
present there are only barkers
for water taxi tours, a marina
and the Victoria Tourist S in-
formation offices along the
waterfront of the bay. Kersey's
idea is to have activated booths
in this area where B.C. crafts-
men and women would be at
work weaving, knitting 'the
province's famous Indian sweat-
ers and throwing native clay
onto a potter's wheel to fash-
ion the lovely and original
creations now only available
through 'a Government spon-
sored directory of handicrafts,
listing craft products and giv-
ing the addresses of producers.
I expressed the opinion that
few tourists would take the
trouble to 'try and find the
craftsmen listed, even though
they had seen displays of fas-
cinating creative art in glass
counters provided by the gov-
ernment and placed in the B.C.
capital city's hotels. This, said
Mr. Kersey, was one of his
worries too. When I suggested
the solution might be a Handi-
craft Guild Stare, similar to
one in Toronto, he had to admit
that west coast workers in the
artistic field have a temtrera-
ment that only his hope of the
booths on the waterfront was
likely to solve.
Craftsmen as a rule are "lon-
ers", but there is one I know

who has not only found an out-

has built it into a worthy
souvenir business. He is Frank

Miles depicting Canadian hist-
ory are being produced by his
father, Ivor Fog, and his young

Letters To The
Editor
We acknowledge with thanks
a nice note from Mrs. C. G.
Stogdil of Toronto who order-
ed two subscriptions to The
Bulletin and commented in
part:
". . .. We enjoyed the copy
you sent this week and hopt
you are also mailing to the
McKees in Kelowna.
"Although we have no prop-
erty in Rayfield, we are always
vitally interested. Dr. Stagdil's
greatgrandfather took up land
on the Goshen about 1842 and
he is buried in Bayfield Ceme-
tery. Before the war we spent
all our summers there and the
latter years in "The Hut" be-
fore Lucy made it over.
"We hope to meet the Edit-
ors the next time we are there.
Good luck to your paper. Sin-
cerely, Christobel Stogdil."
Another letter to the editor
is 'published under the Bushy
Tales heading, as it relates
directly to material published
there recently.
this country are of forei,gt
make.
"This will not be the case
with souvenirs to be sold at
the 1967 World's Fair in Mont-
real. Only if there is no Can-
adian firm prepared to produce
a particular souvenir will the
right to produce an Expo '67
souvenir be granted to a non-
Canadian company. Otherwise,
Expo souvenirs will be entirely
Canadian-made."
Good luck 'to you Mr. Stein-
berg. We have many gifted and
inspired people in Canada. I
have witnessed that authentic
Canadian souvenirs in our shops
across this land are increasing
every year, thanks to the re-
cent souvenir contest sponsored
by the Ontario Government
and men like Messrs. Kersey
and Steinberg.
