Boyes Transport Ra's:50*foot Drop Amp SAW Damage was estimated at over $10,000 when a tractor, trailer truck, loaded with 25 tons of rock salt, rolled down a 50 -foot embankment of the North Shore Read, Goderich, Thursday afternoon, Jan 3.1. The driver of the truck, mvn- ed by Bayes Transport I.td„ Clinton, Maitland Falconer, 33, Clinton, escaped injury by leap iing from, the cab of the 'truck just .before it careened over the side of the road approaching the top of the hill, When the transmission of the big truck failed, the truck started to roll backwards and did so for a distance of about 800 feet before went off the road ,and .down the embank- ment. In the wild backward ride, the tractor and the trailer part- ed company but not before the trailer landed on the cab of the laactor and crushed it like a pancake. The load of rock salt, valued at $250, was scattered all over the hill. The .accident brought further attention to the need for wid- enhig the road more than its present 20 feet in order to al- low a vehicle approaching from behind to get past in the event of a similar mishap in the future. Cemetery Company at Bayfield Reviews Busy Centennial Year (Bayfield Correspondent) The annual meeting of the Bayrfield Cemetery Company was held at 'the home of the secretary -treasurer, E. A.

The meeting approved the purchase of a jack -all and a rubber -tired wheel for the wheelbarrow. A motion was passed to the effect that cement bases for monuments will now be put down five feet .instead of six. Eight Porter was appointed secretary -treasurer of the chap- el fund. There is nowabout $176 in this fund which the directors hope plot owners and others will keep in mime as a memorial. It 'began in 1960 when Mrs. Ellen IvlicEwen donated a strip of land 'to the cemetery comp- any for a lot and a site for a memorial chapel for services in cold and inclement weather. e r This would have been a fitting„ way to mark the centennial year 1961. The Bayfield Cemetery Corn- pany was formed on December 27, 1861 by 28 shareholders, mostly businessmen of Bayfield and vicinity. They subscribed the required 109 ahhares amount- ing to $327 in amounts varying from one share' at $3 to ten shares. One share entitled the holder to a four -grave lot. They saw the need for a cemetery. Now comes the need of 'a chapel. A rough estimate of the cost is $5,000. Between November 10 - 24, 1961, there were six burials in Bayfield Cemetery, more than in any previous fortnight in i~he 100 year history of the com- pany Golden Wedding Celebrated by, Hensall Couple (Hensall Correspondent) Mr. and Mrs. John Baker en- tertained rntertained' at their home for a family dinner on Saturday, Jan- uary 13, 'honoring Mr. and Mrs. Robert Baker, Hensall, the former's parents, on the areas - ion of their $Otih, wedding an- niversary.

(Engraving courtesy Goderich Signal -Star) Cardinals Visit the Hut (Mayfield Correspondent) The Master at "The Hut" doesn't believe in feeding the birds before the snow comes, especially since the cardinals', bine jays and blackcap chickadees cleaned off the heads of 11 sunflowers which 'grew to an enormous height in the garden last summer. There was a twelfth head which bent low over the clothes line. It was large and heavy and at first the thieves didn't spot it:. Then the jays took a whack at it by jump- ing up from the ground. "Put an old lace curtain around it," said Lucy. So the Master took her advice. And the sunflower took on the look of •a veiled lady of the harem, bowing in the garden. The bluejays were annoyed. They tore a hole in the lace and got quite a few more kernels' front the sunflower. Then the Master 'added a guard of inch mesh chicken wire. That did the trick! The bluejays were excluded. And "the :lady ..of the 'bc em." spat ; siiently amidst the weeds in the garden. And the Master thought that he'd save almost a head of sunflhawer seeds for the cold winter days. One clay Lucy was sitting alone, reading the daily news, when gradually she became aware of 'a movement in the garden. Wings flashed over, down, up and out•by the veiled lady. So she took off her reading glasses, adjusted her long-distance spectacles, and traced the regular movement. Those little blackcap chickadees were "more resource- ful than the 'jays." They flew in succession from the hedge to the clothesline over which lady sunflower drooped, then down on the ground up inside and picked out a kernel and came out the hole in the curtain and wire and back to the hedge. So when the Master came home and picked the "veiled lady" there were only a few seeds left in the centre. When the first snow came, tile old male cardinal, which whistled so loudly in this area whilee raising his family, came and sat on the windvane of the feeding station and stared at the house. The Master, being a forgiving person, put some sunflower seeds in the station; but theold boy evidently had a full crop, for all he did was ,sit there to keep his mate away. The juncos and blackcap chickadees flitted about and got their share. Last week the Master set up another feeding station, which he'd designed himself, under the willow tree. It is primarily for small birds, 'to 'hold' timothy seed and crack- ed wheat. Last spring some of it was placed in the larger feeding station, but enough •timothy 'seed was scattered around the roses and flowers to produce a fine crop of hay! In fact Lucy could` boast about the height and luxuriance of the timothy. The cardinals hadn't bothered too much with "The Hut" until Sunday when five males and three females ap- peared and hung 'around the shrubbery, occasionally looking wistfully into the feeders. The 1Viasiter put mixed feed in the new feeder under the willows and sunflower seeds in 'the old station. And would you believe it, the birds all preferred the. new one?. They can perch on the willow boughs, pop down and get a snack and back up again into the shelter of the cedars. And so they d'eecended upon it first, and when, a rations ran low there, transferred! their attention to 'the old one. And on Monday morning there Were eight cardinals waiting again for food. 13ut this time there were five females andthree males. Why the sudden, attention at "The rut", they wonders'? Could it be that the flocks of even- ing vening grosbeaks which are greedily gobbling up the food set out for the birds at other feeding stations in the village, bare chasing the cardinals away? The evening grosbeaks send out scouts to find the best feeding grounds. This year Lucy has not seen any, So evidently the scout didn't give a; good report of this spot.
