The land on which Trinity Church stands was acquired, for taxes, by Ninian Woods from the, sheriff of Huron and Bruce in Dec. 23, 1861. Mr. Woods is named as grantor in the deed. St. Luke's, Goshen, closed in 1923 and St. John's, Varna, in 1965. In 1923, St. Jame's, Middleton, again became united with Bayfield as part of the three point parish of St. John's, St. Jame's and Trinity. The 32 rectors of Bayfield have lived in various locations including, a log house belonging to the first rector which was located on land southwest of the Metcalf home Ant the land on which it stood has long since slid into Lake Huron. Other Rectories include the present home of Jack Sturgeon, the Lloyd Scotchmer home (although this was rented not owned by the parish), the present home of Canon and Mrs. F. H. Paull and the present rector's residence purchased by the three point parish in 1953. Century old names mentioned in the records include, Castle, Woods, Westlake, Pollock, McClinchey, Naftel, Wallace, Sterling, Diehl, Stinson and others well known today. In contrast with the large number of recorded baptisms, Canon Paull cited the burials during the same period (1849 — 1869), they averaged less than 5 per year, several years recording only one, and one year none at all. coopers, shoemakers, tavern keepers, tanners, lighthouse keepers, millers, brickmakers, saddlers, wool dressers and bandmasters. The business session of the meeting presided over by Mrs. A. S. Morton, included reports by secretary, Mrs. H. Baker and treasurer Mrs. J. Mayman. Tentive plans to provide a historical' exhibit for the Fall Fair were made. A display of early utensils is planned in connection with the July regular meeting. The next meeting will take place, June 16, at the home of .Mrs. William Metcalf,6who will trace the history of her charming cottage,/one of the oldest in the community. Hostesses for the evening were Mrs. Jack MacKenzie and Mrs. J. E. Hovey. ACW again at the Hut The A.C.W. met at the "Hut" for their April meeting last Thursday. Everyone was glad to be back at the "Hut" because it meant that Mrs. Diehl felt better. After the singing of the hymn, the Rev. E. J. B. Harrison led in prayer and read the Scripture. The president welcomed two new members, Mrs. Du Bulay and Mrs. Hills. The Spring Deanery will be held on June 9 at St. George's Cathedral, Goderich. Mrs. Diehl read a most interesting letter from Sister Dorothy Dykes explaining why she had not been able to go back to Biafra. She is at Headquarters in London. The Thankoffering amounted to $45. After the closing prayer Mrs. Rivers served a delightful tea. , IMPROVED FOOD Canada's first food and drug laws to prevent adulteration of food, drink and drugs came into effect January 1, 1875. At that time, more than 51 percent of the foods sampled were adulterated. Under the Food and Drug Act, conditions have improved considerably. In spite of better sampling methods, the figure today is well under ten percent — possibly two to five percent.

Minister icenced A large group of members from St. .Andrew's United Church, Bayfield and Grace United Church, Porter's Hill, attended a licencing service for their minister, Mr. Donald Beck, Hyatt Avenue United Church, London, on Sunday. The service was conducted by the Rev. C. M. Jardine, minister of the church, assisted by Mrs. G. W. Moore. Dr. Ann P. Graham preached and the Rev. A. J. Farquhar presided for the licencing. A reception for Mr. and Mrs. Beck was held following the service. Personals Mr. and Mrs. R. Parker of Dorchester and Mr. and Mrs. W. C.

Mr. and Mrs. Charles Parker of Toronto spent the weekend with Mrs. Myrtle Parker. Rambling with Lucy Barbara Jeanne Anderson, 6 -year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Anderson, RR 1, St. Mary's, uses her talent to give pleasure to the elderly,s sick and shut-ins. . Lucy was one of those favoured with an exhibition of her step -dancing when the little girl visited her grandmother, Mrs. Ed. J. Sturgeon of Bayfield recently. In this age it is refreshing to see a child so thoughtful of bringing happiness to her elders without any thought of reward. Mrs. Anderson brought her daughter down to "The Hut" and asked if Barbara might dance for us. Quick as a flash the little girl's outer clothes came off and she put on her shoes while her mother plugged in a record player. A mat was removed from the floor and this dainty little miss stood poised, her hands holding out her skirt at each side. At the proper moment in the music, she made a graceful curtsy and then,those musical feet flew in a variety of steps. Mrs. Anderson had made her black -and -white check skirt, sequin -trimmed cumberbund and white lace -trimmed blouse. At an early age, Barbara Jeanne showed that she was very musical and her feet would pick up a rhythm. So Mr. and Mrs. Anderson decided that she should take dancing lessons at four years of age. When Barbara was five she commenced T. V. appearances on the Big Al show oyer C.K.C.O., Kitchener. An elderly gentleman enjoyed her numbers and so he telephoned nearly all the Andersons on the St. Mary's telephone system before he located Barbara's parents. He asked permission for her to dance for the Senior Citizens of St. Mary's which she did in March a year ago. Then, of her own initiative, she entertained sick folk at the nursing home in Mitchell at Christmas. She recently took part in a talent contest at Mitchell andthe judges gave her first place. On Easter Monday Barbara appeared on the program at the men's O.A.T.S. CIub, Thamesview United Church, Fullarton. And she has danced at Sunday School affairs and the Glen Gowrie Institute of which her mother is a member. She is scheduled for an audition by CKNX-TV', Wingham, but her mother explained that seeding time on the farm might delay it until either she or her father had time to make the trip. Barbara Jeanne is a first -grade pupil at Mount Pleasant area school. She impressed Lucy as being very competent. While Mrs. Anderson was chatting with Lucy, the little girl packed the record player and put her shoes into a tote bag. She donned her outdoor clothes and said, "Come on Mum," ready for the next visit. And as her mother made towards her winter *boots, "Barbie" as she is affectionately known in the family, stooped down, slipped off her mother's house slippers and added them to the contents of the tote bag. It's a long way to look back, but it seems to Lucy that at that age, her mother was looking after her! SUMMER EMPLOYMENT CLINTON RECREATION COMMITTEE PLAY GROUND LEADERS State Wages Expected Applications must be received by the undersigned before May 17, 1969. Doug Andrews, Recreation Director, Clinton. 17b Clinton News -Record, Thursday, April 24, 1969 7 emormiteresso BELL. LINES by W. W.HA YSOM .your telephone manager The Bruce Trail Association this week announced a plan to construct •a series of log cabin -style shelters at strategic locations along the popular nature trail which extends all the way from Tobermory to the Niagara Peninsula. The open -front rustic shelters will be basically constructed from cedar telephone poles donated to the Association by Bell Canada. Bell is removing many of its poles throughout Ontario as part of a continuing program to. place telephone facilities out of sight and underground. First of the shelters, about 10 feet by 16 feet in size is expected to be completed by early summer and will be located near Meaford, Ontario. Long range plans call for shelters spaced about 10 miles apart along the length of the trail — a good days hike from each other. A Bruce Trail official stated that while the gift of the poles solves one major problem others remain. These include finding suitable locations, additional funds to cover construction costs and other material required. "However we forsee no major difficulties in completing our plans to have one of the finest tourist attractions in the Province," he added. * * * Here are a . few tips for long distance callers. Jot down the important points you want to cover before you place your call and keep a scratch pad and pencil handy in case you want to write something down during your conversation. Check your telephone directory for Area Codes and Long Distance Rates. Don't forget that rates get lower as the hour gets later. * * * If you leave a babysitter in charge when you go out, don't forget to leave her a number where you can be reached. She should know where emergency numbers such as Fire, Police and Doctor are located too. Your phone book provides you with a special space for these numbers — right on the inside front cover. If you haven't already filled in these numbers, why not do it now. Your babysitter may never have to use them, but you'll feel more secure knowing she has them handy. 0001:6?:46.0/: MEN'S SHORT SLEEVE SWEATSHIRTS Gold, Green, Blue, Black.
