Accept Revised Plans For County Home Bayfield People Attend TB X-Ray Clinic (By our Bayfield correspondent) More than three hundred from Bayfield and district took advant- age of the free TB X-rays when the mobile clinic from Ontario Department of Health was in the village on Thursday last. The large coach, carrying the equipment, was drawn up outside the Town Hall. The Lions Club supported it and arranged for re- lays of women to act as clerks in the Town Hall, There was not such a large attendance during the day, but in the evening the technicians and helpers were kept very busy. The technicians, who are from Toronto, paid a compliment to those responsible when they stat- ed that in all the villages and small places in which they had held clinics, they had not seen such a nicely-decorated or clean, well-kept Town Hall as in Bay- field.
