At Varna, people tried to persuade him to put up his horses and stay all night at the hotel. But, no, the honour of the service was at stake, Bayfield had had no mail for several days. So he arrived at Bayfield at four o'clock in the morning, half frozen and his horses at the point of exhaustion from battling their way through drifts. But he had done his duty, and the postmaster and his assistant got up and sorted the mail, finished accounts, and prepared the out-going mail Bayfield Lions Ladies' Night At Grand Bend (Bayfield Correspondent) Bayfield Lion s Ladies' Night was held on March 28 at the Green Forest Motor Ho- tel, Grand Bend, with 57 Lions, wives and guests sitting down to dinner.

Last week, an instance of His Majesty's mail coming through after 49 years brought Postmaster A. M. (Mac) Ho- rnuth, Goderich, and Mrs. Geo- rge Little, Bayfield, into the limelight of the TV camera from CKNX, Wingharn. When workmen were dis- mantling the old Post Office in Goderich a package addres- sed to Miss Ada Johnston, Hincks Street, came to light between nests of boxes. It con- tained a small gold-filled sig- net ring with the initials A. J. and had been obtained with either ten Comfort Soap coup- ons and 25 cents or 100 Com- fort Soap coupons. It was mailed February 6, 1912, A notice in Wednesday's Free Press was seen by friends and reported to Mrs. Little.

Viewers of CKNX on Friday saw the record of the trip from the Postmaster leaving the office in Goderich to Mrs. Little opening the dope to him at her home and receiv- ing the parcel. Mrs. Little knew nothing about it. She was 14 when the order was sent, and she thinks that her mother, the late Mrs. John Johnston, or some other relative must have sent for it for her for a birthday surprise in March. She wished that her mother had been alive to tell her about it. It was quite an exciting event for Mrs. Little. 0 Bayfield WA Has Regular Meeting (Bayfield Correspondent) The April meeting of the Wo- man's Association of St. An- drew's United Church, Bayfield, was held in the church a week early.

In an attempt to boost the sale of cars during the month of April, Pearson's is giving away a bicycle, transistor radio, power lawn mower, or an electric barbecue, with each new or used car pur- chased. Shown here, unloading a truck-load of the valuable gifts, is Jack "Car King" Pearson and his staff of salesmen.

(Zurich Citizens News Photo) Jack Pearson, Zurich who dubs 'himself "The Car Xing of Huron County", announced this week his firm has puree, used e5,000 worth of Canadian merchandise to launch the big- gest automobile promotion in the county's history He plans to give away cycles, power mowers, barbe- cues and transistor radios in a county-wide campaign to stint- elate lagging car sales. during April. "Our objective," says 'the Zurich dealer, "le to ,eetablish an alletiene sales record for automobiles in Western Ontar- io," "We also think we can prove that this temporary recession everybody's talking about is over and dbne with. The only thing holding back the econ- omy now is talk itself, The hue and cry over unemploy- ment, for instance, has fright- ened a lot of people. But in Hamra, the .figures,prove there's no more people out of jobs than is normal at this time of year. The only depression is in people's eninde." "We believe if we talk op- timistically—and 'act optimist- ioally, as we are doing in this April promotion—ebe- so-called recession will quickly disap- pear," "As a matter of fact," be continued, "our 'big giveaway should help the unemployment situation in other parts of Canada. Most of the items we're giving away are .quality- made Canadian merchandise," In the Pearson promotion, every buyer of a new or used car, regardless of price, will get the choice of one of the 100 gifts offered by the firm. "We're not hiking prices to cover 'the extra cost, either," Pearson says. "We expect to cover expenses by the big in- crease in) volume." Bayfield Obituary Mrs. W.
