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.

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!

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.
