Councillor Gozzard, chairman of the committee for harbours, beaches, river, health and welfare, stated emphatically that the facilities for incoming boats and waterborne vacationers are deplorable, if not non-existent.

Clerk Graham gave a run-down of the council's budget, and stated that the council is "well within our budgets" and will be able to pay its bills promptly, even though, as the Reeve pointed out, council is not, as some people seem to think, an inexhaustible pot of gold, "The council's expenditures to date closely approximate the anticipated budget," he added. The next meeting of the council will be July 5.

And it's hardly fair to bug them Just to try to cut them down For I'm Sure they feel their actions Are the best for our fair town. If council makes tonie changes I'll accept them with a sigh For We can't remain forever As we were in days gone by. We Must contain the thoughtless And restrict the Vandals too If this Means fencing round the park That's what we'll have to do. Our totincillors are trying Ot that I have no doubt Attend a council meeting And you'll surely find that out. If one should feel decisions made Are really not sincere, The place to change the "status quo" Is the polling booth next year. THE BARD OF BAYFIELD box lunches, and stayed at Doon Village until early evening. SQUARE DANCE CLUB HOLDS OUTING The dance pavilion in Jowett's Grove was the site Saturday night of a square dance sponsored by the Ausable Flairs and Squares of Parkhill. The dance was held through the efforts of Richard and Ruth Moore and was attended by avid square dancers from Parkhill, Clinton, Exeter, Lucknow, London, Kingston, Oil Springs, Wyoming, Wingham, St. Marys, and Ripley. As Les Greenwood, the caller, sang out directions, couples whirled and stepped in intricate patterns, making a show as lovely to watch as a ballet performance. Colored decorations and lanterns made an appropriate background for the ruffled dresses of the ladies and the western shirts of the men. The mood was festive, taking on the liveliness and cheerfulness of the dance music. At' 9:304 'Wm. the dancing paused, and everyone turned to Reeve Oddleifson of Bayfield, who was present at the occasion to welcome the Parkhill club.

OUR Light Brunch BEGINS THIS WEEK 11:30-1 Regular Brunch Begins July 4, 10:30-1 Reservations Appreciated The Little Inn BAYFIELD 565-2611 Carl was quite excited last week. He looked out the kitchen window and spied a black-billed cuckoo perched in the nearest syringe. Before it flew away he noted all its identification marks. It is a bit larger than a robin and slender with a long tail. The upper parts are brown and underparts white, The bill is curved down and all black in colour with a red eye ring are some marks which distinguish it from the yellow-billed cuckoo. Its breeding ground in Canada extends from the south eastern part of Alberta across the prairies to over the Great Lakes, southern Ontario, a corner of Quebec to the Maritimes and Prince Edward Island. The yellow-billed cuckoo breeds only in southern Vancouver Island, a spot opposite on the mainland, and southern Ontario, below Georgian Bay to a point in Quebec south of the St. Lawrence River and also a spot in south eastern New Brunswick. The black-billed cuckoo prefers open wood land, tangles of willow and alder vines and similar cover, The nest is made of twigs and while fragile it is often better built than some other members of the species. It is lined with soft vegetable material usually placed from two to seven feet above the ground on a branch in a low bush or tree, either deciduous or coniferous. Two to four blue-green eggs are incubated by both male and female in 10 or 11 days. Occasionally it Iays its eggs in the nests of other birds, including the yellow-billed cuckoo and thus avoiding the work of raising its young. The cuckoo family consists of 125 members. The old world birds are often parasitic, laying in nests of other birds, so the two Canadian species occasionally revert to that order, They have four toes — two in front and two behind. Economically cuckoos are extremely valuable because they devour vast numbers of insects and have a particular voracious appetite for caterpillars. The voice of the black-billed cuckoo is three or four hollow wooden ducks with a pause between. Later when Carl went out towards the barn he saw the cuckoo in the cherry tree behind the cedars. They are shy birds but it took off as he drew near. Mrs. C. Bell, next door has also seen the bird. Lucy hopes it is nesting in the vicinity for on "The Hut" and adjoining properties since we are plagued with tent caterpillars so high in trees that it would take a forester to reach them. As she was sitting outside the sunroom door, Lucy saw a bird fly by in undulating flight into the big Persian lilac, which she is almost sure was a male red cross bill. She didn't see its head for distinguishing marks but no other description in the bird books as to size and colour of body, tail and wings fits it. Carl and Lucy kept watching for the crested flycatchers and wondering where they were nesting this year. One day about two weeks ago the male was perched on the dead limb of the birch tree. When Carl went out he greeted him with what Carl called a squawk .— a whistle, "wheeeeep" with rising inflection and a throaty rolling "perrrreet." Now the pair appear to have gone to their former nesting box which is obscured from the house by trees. They are very shy birds so Carl keeps away from the spot as much as possible. The crested flycatcher includes snakes' skins in its nest. Carl ran over two snakes lying out on the pavement near the corner and killed them one day last summer. No doubt some bird has picked up their skins by now. couples at the dance, and all showed a great deal of energy and spirit. GOODBYE TO BECK Sunday afternoon farewell festivities took place in the Bayfield Square for Rev. Donald Beck. Rev. Beck, of St. Andrew's United Church, will be moving to Hensall this month. The activities began in the early afternoon with Rev. and Mrs. Beck and various of their five children, Mike, Brian, Jeff, Chris, and Susie, pitching a few rounds of baseball with John Siertsema. The number grew, and at about 3:00 o'clock there were games for the small children. At 3;30, when a great number of United Church members, representatives from the Council, and friends from the community had gathered in the park, Reeve Oddleifson and John Siertsema made a farewell presentation to the Beck family. This consisted of a pair of lamps for their new home and a purse, accompanied by best wishes and sincere regrets for their leaving. An estimated 80 persons remained in the park for a picnic dinner and a chat with the Beck family. Rev. James Reddoch will fill Rev. Beck's position. He will deliver his first sermon in Bayfield on July 4, and will be inducted at St. Andrew's, July 8. 37 HAMILTON ST.,GODERICH , ONT. • ritekce, 524 .-8391 (.3 .. .
