BAYFIELID - A review of Brownie and Guide activities under their respective leaders reveals that the First Bayfiekl Brownie Pack under Mrs. Ken Breeden, Brown Owl and Mrs, Jelin Lindsay, Tawny Owl, sold Christmas Seale from door to door for their Good Turn.. They donated theproceeds to the Huron County Children's Aid Society. They also made toys for 'this organization. Their Christmas party was held in the basement of St. Andrew's United Church at which 'the Pack enjoyed games, songs and lunch. With Mrs. L, R. Maloney; Captain, and• Mrs. Don Warner, Lieutenant, the First Bayfield Guide Company enjoyed a to• - bogganing party on Friday, De- cember 20. Fourteen• Guides at- tended otter which they repair- ed to :the Old Forge for lunch. A Christmas table was set up with cloth and candles; a fire burned in the forge and Christmas records were played. They appreciated all the extra time and effort which. Mrs. Pierson and Provincial Lone Cadet Shirley Pierson had ex- pended •to make the evening such a success. The Guides' Good Turn was a visit to Huronview on De- cember 21. They trimmed a Christmas tree, sang cardls and served tea, coffee, cookies and cake 'to about 60 'persons. Gifts of several games for the general amusement of the residents were left under the Christmas tree. The leaders paid tribute 'to the Guides •on this occasion say- ing that Bayfield parents could well 'be proud of their girls. On January 11, First Bayfield Scout Troop set a cross country trail for the First Bayfield• Guide Company. Seven Guides with 'their cap- tain, Mrs. L. R. Maloney, fol- lowed the trail out to the Scout Camp where a big fire was burning when •they arrived, Guides ate lunch with the Scouts and then hiked home. . List Activities Of Past Weeks Of Youth Groups BAYFIELD - The Local As- sociation to Guides and Brown- ies met at the home of Mrs. Arnold Makins last Tuesday evening with 10 memberS pre- sent. Mrs. Wilfred Castle, chairman, presided. It Was 'arranged to have the annual Valentine card party for reiehig funds in Trinity Parish. Hall on February 7 'this year, since St. Valentine's Day falls in Lent. Mrs. Fred Weston. secretary, toad the minutes of the camp committee meeting held last November. Each Local Associa- tion 'is assessed for $25.00. lVfiss Mary MacMillan, Com- missioner, Goderich, was pre- sent and addressed the mem- bers on their responsibilities. She pointed •out that they were to raise no money by raf- fles, draws or lottery of any kind. In the past the LA has pur- chased the leaders' uniforms. Now it is required also to pay all travelling expenses at five cents a mile to all meetings or trainings, plus meals and regis-tration fees. There are 12 members to carry on the work and they look 'to generous support from the public to 'be able to meet the various needs. Following the M'izpah Bene- diction, Mrs. Arnold Makins served refreShmentS. Rambling With Lucy (Lucy R. Woods) "STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Lapland is enjoying. a, heat wave. Spring flowers are blooming on the hills, and temp- eratures yesterday ranged from 50 to 60 degrees-about 20 degrees above normal." (from Globe and Mail, Friday, Jan- uary 24). We've had at least three January thaws in this area which took 'the deep snow away gradually and relieved the menace to roofs. The grass was so green when the snow went that the glimpse of it lightened -one's heart. The weather was so balmy, here, too, and the seed catalogues having arrived, it set the thoughts of some residents of the, village to planting gprdens last week. They'd be glad they resisted 'the urge when that mass of cold Arctic air moved into Southern Ontario! There have been many of the old-time signs which point to an early spring, reported. Mrs. Nelson Heard heard a crow and saw it sitting up in a tree in the village cawing on December 27. Lucy observed a house fly buzzing about between the storm and dining-room windows on January 2. Mrs. William R. Elliott saw a woolly buffalo (caterpillar) crawling along the outside wall of the shed on January 21, and several have reported hearing • a robin. Probably the, crow and robin wintered here 'but it is significant that they ventured into song. Then there is the cricket which took Up its abode at Ken Brandon's home - not on the hearth but in the •cold air chamber of the coal furnace! The furnace is staked up every evening about, six o'clock and when it becomes nice and warm, the cricket sounds forth. Its cheerful song makes Mrs. Brandon happy, even on the coldest stormy day, for it sounds like warm weather - and she thinks it cannot be too far off! Last week thunderstorms were reported on two occasions. That reminded Lucy ,that about forty years or so ago, she was visiting at a farm house one night early in February. A new lamb had arrived and was brought to the house ie achilled 'condition. (It survived with good home nursing care.) The farm woman told Lucy that the thunderstorm which occurred in January was the sign of 'an early spring; that some of the hens were "clucking" and now this early lamb also pointed to an early spring-Lucy forgot whether these signs were true forecasts that year or not. We'll probably have 'to leave it up to the Ground Hog to decide the matter on February 2! If 'he sees his shadow, he goes back for six weeks; if not, then the early gardeners may plan to get their hands into God's clean soil before too long. Saturday, January 25, was the 'anniversary of the Con- version of St. Paul. Amid all the signs of the seasons, Lucy's spouse came up with this old rhyme: "If St. Paul's be fair and clear, It promises then a happy year; But if it chance to snow or rain, Then Shall be dear all sorts of grain, And if the wind do blow aloft, Great stirs will vex the world full oft; And if dark clouds do muff the sky, Then fowl and cattle oft will die." There was snow and it was cloudy with winds in this area on St. Paul's Day. So if 'we do have an early spring, it may not portend a good year. However, hope springs eternal within the human breast. Let's' }Ripe for a 'good year despite such a dire prophecy!

F, J, B, Harrison, at, 8;30 p.m, with opening prayers, and a scrip- ture reading,.

Those attending were: Mr. Alf Scotehreer, Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Scotchmer,. Mrs. John Jowett, Mr. and Mrs, George Bellchamber, Mrs, Percy Wes- ton, Mrs. R. J, Larson, .Mrs, R. F, -Gairdner, Brigdr. and Mrs, F. A. Clift, Mrs, Fred Arkell, Mr. Robert Turner, Mrs. Len Smith, Mrs, Harold King and Mrs. William Parker, The rector's annual message; his seventh since coming to Bayfield,,, stated how glad he was that we have been able to meet all our obligations, eats, factorily; both in the parish and to 'the Diocese, but hoped that we may continue to de- velop a larger measure of spir- itual concern for the mission' of our church 'at large. That means "that we fully recognize what the church 'is; individually and collectively, What our mission is for God," He erophasiZed there is a great difference 'between missionary and mission, "as the latter is our work for God, what we are here in the world to do for God, and not for ourselves." He thanked members who had helped to carry on the work of the church, especially Mrs. R. J. Larson, acting sup- erintendent of the Sunday School; when he is not able to be there. He thanked the.' tea- chers, the organists' both, past and present ones this year, the choir leader and the choir mem- bers, all heads, officers, and members of the organizations of the parish life. He thanked the two wardens who had worked so loyally .and faithfully and co-operated with him in their function as the corporation 'of the parish. He drew attention 'to the bequest of the late Miss Rose Snowden, and how the investing of it 'had added income to the. church. The cent-a-meal fund, still a substantial basis of in- come, had helped in the large expenditure involved in the rectory kitchen, together with the generous donation from Trinity Church Guild. The Organ Memorial Fund established last year, is - still a matter of trusteeship, until there is enough to cover the full cost of a new organ. "The` past year will go down in our church history as the year of the Anglican Congress, and 'that Congress 'has made some deep and lasting expres- sions of a' new vision of the - mission for God, in the world," he said. Mr. Harrison's statistical re, port showed: Total services held, 139; bap- tized, adults, two; infants, nine; number confirmed, six; marri- ages, three; burials, five, - Alf .Scatclerner, as chairman of the finance committee, drew attention to the fact that en- velope Offerings are short of meeting financial obligations, and If it had not been for fin- ancial investments, we could not have fulfilled all our obli- gations. The kitchen of the rectory had been repaired; parish hall and church had been kept in excellent condition and the lawns and grounds faithfully cared for throughout the year. He reported stipends of rec- tors in Huron Diocese (recom- mended by the General Synod) are to be increased this year by $250.00, and he was sure the meeting would carry out the adults. Refreshments were served at the end of the program. Synod's wishes. He thanked the Rev,. E. J. H.
