W. Oddleifson at a Historical Society Meeting. When "rooting" for information, members naturally consult the older residents and Mrs. Oddleifson intersperses the more prosaic facts with humourous "asides," some of which are directquotations from Tom Bailey and William Johnston whose keen memories help to bring alive many details of life between and before the two World Wars. Tom's memory of his childhood includes glimpses of summer visitors from New York in the 1890's when a Mrs. MacDonald and her two sons stayed at his father's hotel, the Commercial; it seems that the village children found one son friendly and the other somewhat surly, in consequence of which they formed a parade outside the hotel and marched back and forth singing "Edgar's the good-natured one and Harry is the crank," ,while keeping time by pounding on tin pans with sticks. Tom also remembers the t NEW RATES FOR WATER MAIN CONNECTIONS 1. The cost of connections to the existing system for a consumer's requirements shaft be paid for by the consumer. 2,`` All .:main extension a icj r>xpjr'I,Len stall be Id a. size that is suitable and satisfactory for fire protection and o`ther'systemimprovements. 3. (1) The total cost of laying and constructing any extensions to the system that are required and that are sought by the consumer shall be shared on a basis whereby two -third's of the cost thereof shall be divided on aper foot frontage basis equally between .the owners of the property on either side of the street on which the extension is being constructed and the remaining one-third of the cost shalt be paid by the Public Utilities Commission. The cost shall be determined as the cost to the Commission of the total value of the material and services supplied for each extension and all amounts therefore shall become payable upon completion of the work. (2) In circumstances where the Commission is replacing undersize mains, however, the cost thereof shall be borne by the Commission. 4. The cost of constructing private services to the water main extensions shall be paid by the owners and the amount thereof shalt be determined as the actual cost to the Public Utilities Commission of=the services and materials supplied for such connection. Anyone desiring to have such connection shall complete the written application form supplied by the Commission and shall pre -pay to the Commission an estimate of the costs, and in any event, a 518's inch service shall cost $85.00 for the construction of a service pipe to the property line. In addition to theforegoing, if it is necessary to construct a service through a gravel road,, there will be an additional charge of $10.00 and if it is necessary to construct the service through a paved road, an additional charge of $50.00 will be made. 5. For ,all services in excess of 5/8's inch, the amount prepaid shall be applied against the actual cost of services and materials supplied by the Commission and the difference, if less than the deposit, will be repaid to the customer and if in excess of the deposit will be paid by the customer to the Commission. 6. There shall be installed with every service a valve at or near the property line which shall be the property of the Water Department and which shall not be operated by the customer. 7. All such costs shall be determined by the Public Utilities Commission. 8. If a service is requested by or on behalf of an owner of property outside the Corporation limit, the Commission shall, in its discretion, determine whether or not to make such service available and if the Commission elects to make such service available, the consent of the appropriate authority in the Municipality in which the service is to be supplied shall be obtained and the cost of installation shall be charged, in the Commission's discretion, to either the owner of the property to be benefitted or his duly authorized agent or the person, firm or corporation that has originally requested and ordered the work. 9. Construction bf the extension and/or the service shall be made by the Public Utilities Commission and paid for in accordance with the provisions herein: 10. Title to all extensions outside the Corporation shall remain with the Public Utilities Commission and Whatever repairs or maintenance shall be required to such mains, as determined by the Public Utilities Commission, shalt be carried but by the Commission and paid for by either the owners of the property concerned or the parties Ordering the work. The above resolution was duly moved, seconded and carried unanimously on the 21st day of January, A.D. 1969, CLINTON �.� PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION to Br cefie trip which, he maded u 1 Railway Station when his father drove mother and boys to the train in the family "Democrat." In those, days travellers could rest and refresh themselves in Varna, at "Chings" which was owned by Mrs, Richard Bailey's cousin ' and at another establishment at the Goshen Line. In those days cows and geese roamed the streets and trekked down to the river water. Marnmy Morgan's geese could be bought for 50 cents a piece as well as being served in The Morgan Hotel. Tom Bailey remembers much of the problems that his father and other hotel keepers endured in those far-off days, of whiskey barrels being hidden in cornfields, one of which was behind the wainscotting of the small dining room in today's Little Inn; he also remembers a relative who took it upon himself to drive a revenue officer out of town with a shotgun and in consequence had to change his name and flee to the states to escape the Militia. Another story is of Tim McGee, the stagecoach driver. He used to leave the Post Office (now Mrs. Gairdner's) at 6 a.m. and meet the 8 a.m. train at Brucefield, there exchanging mail and passengers and driving on to Seaforth. On his return.he met the 6 p.m. train and brought mail to Bayfield. He also carried groceries and Tom remembers the day when a pail of candies tipped over and laid a trail of "conversation lozenges" from Varna to Bayfield — conversation lozenges were candies imprinted with such captions as "Hello Cutie," "Be Mine" and "Oh you kid." While these reminisences • provide nostalgia for the older residents, we look around us and see the young folks sporting buttons which read "Kiss me" and "Make Love not War" and we think of the old adage "Plus ca change, plus c'est la merne chose."

And when you pu wire it releases a pluf at bottom which sprays out s water and you can have qui good shower -- much neede this 100 degree weather. We had our dinner outd (too many spiders inside) • there were all the lights of P spread out below. Another friend of theirs w sculptor and was preparing his first exhibition in Febru He does some of his wor soapstone and it looked similar to Eskimo carving. A new hotel, The Parra had just been completed an supposedly the best in Aust Eugenie decided we should all dressed up on my last and go into the cocktail lou for a drink so we could ha look at the place. Cecile Stewart joined us and quickly made friends everyone in sight. They deci we should stay and have din at the steakhouse after we decided we didn't have m cash with us. We pooled resources and found we c just make it, so it turned ou be quite a hilarious even Then they all saw me off at airport. ' The trip back was,tatlier 1 and tiresome, as there are no on that run, and with a co of delays it was ten -and -a -half-hour flight, You may have heard of plane that crashed a couple weeks ago. It was the aircraft I had flown down o I was quite relieved to re Darwin safely. Elizabeth w the airport to meet me, w was very pleasant indeed as I quite tired after the long trip.

Lucy The following excerpts are front; ,a letter written by Carl's niece, Miss Margaret Durhaln, Darwin, N;T., Australia, describing her Christmas vacation "Down Under" this year in Perth as arranged by a friend, 13 January "Dear .Aunt I,uey: It was quite a shock to arrive hack in Darwin and find George's letter saying that both Mother and Uncle Carl were in hospital. I feel quite useless down here and a bit selfish to think 1 was having such a happy holiday — never dreaming there was so much trouble at home, Hazel has a lot of interesting friends in Perth and they were all so wonderful about showing me around. Eugenie met me at the airport, She teaches school and has one more term to complete before retiring. Her twin sister Ida has just retired and of course was in Indonesia with Hazel so I didn't meet her. They have a lovely little home on the Swan River across from the city. At night it was lovely with all the lights reflected on the river, and even though we could watch all the traffic rushing along, we couldn't hear it at all. It was so quiet and peaceful, just a few doves cooing in the gum trees, Although 1 was hoping to get away from the heat, Perth was having a heat wave — it reached 110 degrees one day, which was just a bit much, But it was a much drier kind of heat and not so oppressive as Darwin, and then the temperature dropped 40 degrees overnight to a pleasant 70 degrees. Perth is the loveliest Australian city I have seen — lots of trees and parks and everything so well planned for progress. Their university is outstanding, a huge campus, and has three outdoor theatres one a sunken garden, another surrounded on all sides by pine trees. There are lots of modern skyscraper buildings springing up, and the road system seems well planned to cope with the traffic.
