Merton, Minutes Were read by Mrs, Harry Baker and the treasurer's report by Mrs. J, E. Mayman, A number of old pictures of scenes and citizens of Bayfield were on display, and were described by the archivist, Mrs- Leroy Poth, who also read a list of the many interesting items already in the local archives. The most recent donation from 0, M. Wallis, is a diary, kept diligently for over 20 years by the late Miss Frances Sharpe of the Babylon Line. The annual meeting is scheduled for Monday, Jan. 12. The nominating committee includes: Brig. G. L. M. Smith, Mrs. 'W, Parker and Mrs. P. DuBoulay. Routine business was followed by a most interesting and detailed account of research into the origin of "Baron de Tuyll," founder of Bayfield, by Mrs, John Land. Mrs. Land told how she and her husband had become interested in their project because Mr. Land recalled that a former mayor of their home town of Eeist near Utrecht was a baron van Tuyll van Serooskerke. The fact that Bayfield's baron was sometimes referred to as Baron de Tuyll and "the Belgian baron" merely made them more determined to discover the true identity of the man. The difference between "de Tuyll" and "van Tuyll" was of no account because Emperor Napoleon had decreed that French should be the official language in Holland and therefore baron "van Tuyll van Serooskerke" would sign legal papers as "de Tuyll de Serooskerke." Mrs. Land next explained how a change in spelling, probably, an error on the part of the clerk, had laid a false trail and complicated the search. Recorded on a deed was the napse Vincent .Guildermaster, Baron-de TuYil' de. Serooskerke d'Assendoorn. Letters to friends. in Holland failed to produce the desired confirmation to link the two families. The matter rested there awhile until Mrs. Oddleifson showed Mrs. Land a deed, signed by the baron, which Mrs. Bailey had among some old papers. Mr. Land inspected the deed and discovered that the "Bayfield Baron" was "Vincent Gildemeester, baron de Tuyll, de Serooskerken d'Ysendoorn." The next step taken by the Lands was to devote some of their time visiting relatives and friends in Holland to confirming their search for "the baron." Their diligence was rewarded and Mrs. Land told of the records which they perused showing that a Knight Hugo Lord van Tuyll lived in a town, now known as Tuyll, in the province of Gelderland, Holland. Continuous records of "our" de Tuyll family date from the start of the 14th century, according to Mrs. Land. She said Gysbart van Tuyll named "the old" married Geerburg Both van der Een. He died in 1349, at which time a war started and continued, on and off, for over 100 years, His son, Reinier, then left Tuyll in 1369 and settled in Brabant in Steenbergen — the Lands almost lost the trail at this point as the records in Tuyll ceased abruptly and they were very fortunate in discovering the link between the family in Tuyll and that in Brabant. Mrs. Land next traced the family through Vincent Maximilian van Tuyll van Serooskerke (1744-1794) who married Dorothea Henriette Marie Louise, daughter of Carl Lodewyk, Lord of Ysendoorn. Their son, Carl Lodewyk, baron van Tuyll van Serooskerken, Lord of Ysendoorn, born Utrecht June 7, 1784, was the founder of Bayfield, but not our "well known" baron. Carl Lodewyk married Marie Louise Gildermeester March 4, 1811, in London and their son Vincent was the "Bayfield baron." Vincent Gildemeester, baron van Tuyll, van Serooskerken, van Ysendoorn was born March 13, 1812 at Bath, England. Upon his father's death in 1835, he inherited the title and the properties in Canada. "A part of his bachelor,' years," said Mrs. Land, "Iiej: spent in Canada, where he was a friend . of Tiger Dunlop s and, belonged to the Colborne Clique. According to a Canadian• history book, he had a jolly good time over here. "He went back to Europe and married, in 1844, Charlotte Henriette Mansfield, in London, England.

Helen Steiner Rice. So often in this age Lucy fears the birthday of the Christ child d all it'nleans is smothered by commercial interests, The giving of 'gifts to loved ones at this time should come from he heart in retnembrance of God's great love in sending His only son o be file saviour of the world. But in this mad whirling world, verburdened with advertising, it is apt to be a race on the part of he parents, 'relatives and friends to see who can give the most, gardleSS-of Whether they can afford it or not. The dollars involved may strain the pocket-book but es long as they can boast that they've, spent so much on theft John or Jane, they feel satisfied and proud. ',All this :is very wrong for it is but teaching the child to be extravagant and that this world's goods are most important, and that the more he or she receives, the higher our ranks in "getting," It is apt to live the child who has not received so many toys on the Christmas tree, the impression that he or she has been neglected when 'compared to playmates. Lucy ,had a small relative whose pal came to see his presents. "You didn't get •anything! I got fifty," taunted the pal. fortunately, the little boy's mother Was wise when he complained, She told him that when she was young she only got one thing on the Christmas tree, and pOinted out that he had several good toys, and anyway he , could only play with one toy at a time. He told Lucy about it and was really feeling quite rich because he had received several toys and books. It is very easy to buy things but in Ludy's estimation the gifts which carry most love are those made for the child by father or mother. She still remembers the. little table and chair which her mother made for her Christmas when she was four years old and the big rag doll for sister Jean made from a pattern purchased with so many Comfort soap wrappers. Arid how can we in our affluent society in this part of Canada feast on all the good things while those in other parts of our own land, and in „other countries of the world go hungry on Christmas Day, let alone receive a gift of love. Lucy recalls the first year she and her sister went to cut their own Christmas tree. They'd been given permission by Emily Osmond to cut one in her swamp. But they were so long looking around and selecting the best that it not only took them a whole morning but was about 1.30 p.m. as they dragged it through Clan Gregor Square. The road had been taken out that year and built around the Square. No vehicles were allowed on it, but they were fearful that their father's cousin William H. Woods would be fined as they met him in the middle and he told them the time. He had been looking at his newspaper and old "King" given the reins took the old familiar route. Cousin Will said: "Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas." and touched King up with the whip and the cutter soon was on Main Street East. There4 a legend that comes down to us from the early days of Christianity in England. One of those helping to spread Christianity among the Druids was a monk named Wilfred (later Saint Wilfred). One day surrounded by a group of his converts, he struck down a huge oak tree, which, in the Druid religion, was an object of w rship; As the oak tree fell to the earth, it split into four pieces, itit criiitre there grew a yttung7fir tree, pointingsalreen spire s the sky. The crowd gazed am aienient. ' Wilfred let, his axe drop and turned to speak. "This little tree shall he your Holy Tree tonight. It is the wood of peace, for your houses are built 'of the fir. It is the sign of an endless life, for its leaves are evergreen; See how it points toward the heavens. Let this be called the tree of the Christ Child, Gather about it, not in the wilderness, but in your homes. There it will be surrounded with loving gifts and rites of kindness." And to this day, that is why the fir tree is one of our loveliest symbols of Christmas. SNOWMOBILES NOW ON DISPLAY P295 — 20 H.P. P399 — 27 H.P.

A third child, born in the Hague, 1850, was named Sophie Mathilda Henriette Bellitonia the last name, Bellitonia, was given "because her father, Vincerit, was chairman ,of the board of directors of the tin company of Billiton, an island in the Dutch East Indies, between Sumatra and Borneo." Three more children were born later in Germany, Mrs. Land commented on the adventurous spirit of Van TUB and the difference between the months he and his bride had spent on the 'ocean compared with the seven hour crossing which had sufficed to bring Mr. and Mrs. Land hack to Bayfield after their vacation and successful search for the "Van Tuyll" family in Holland. CHRISTMAS CONCERT Two hundred people attended a Christmas concert held at St. Andrew's United Church last Friday. Rev. Donald Beck was chairman for the evening. Skits were enacted by the Sunday School classes, the Young People's group and the Three, M Group.

The children, instead, gave donations to White Gifts for the needy children of the world. There will be a Candlelight Carol Service at 7:30 p.m. Sunday and on Wednesday, Dec. 24 at 7:30 a Christmas Eve Service for the entire family. ST.
