Mr, and Mrs. Cyril Kaiser of
London, who have a cottage
north of Bayfield, will celebrate
their 45th wedding anniversary
this week London.
Saturday evening saw the
unusual wedding of Miss Peg
Carswell of Dundee to Michel
Denee, a Belgian citizen, whom
she met when she was an
exchange student last year. The
ceremony took place at the
Carswell family cottage north of
Bayfield, on the bank
overlooking Lake Huron. A
small number of guests
witnessed the informal wedding,
performed by ,Rev. Alfred
McAlister of Thornhill, Toronto.
Michel read, as his testimony,
the moving poem "Liberte" by
Paul Elouard. A,1 he read the
lines in French, Peggy read the
translation, Her testimony was
the selection "On Marriage"
from Kahlil Gibran's The
Prophet. '
The marriage was followed by
a steak dinner for the guests, and
then a reception with wedding
cake. Peg and Michel will go to
Belgirn this fall to continue their
education.
Over the past 14 years I have spent a lot of time driving on our
highways. During the years I worked with the Federation of
Agriculture and later with FAME, I got up to a top of about 35,000
miles in a year. At 50 miles an hour average that meant 700 hours a
year. How many hours a year do you put in on your tractor on the
average farm?
Since I've been back at full-time farming, it has been an average
of about 600 hours on the tractor.
When I first started using the 401 for Toronto trips 60 miles an
hour was quite fast enough to keep up with the traffic and very few
were passing. If you could see a car or truck ahead of you and one in
your rear view mirror, traffic was heavy.
I don't drive nearly as much now but still I seem to get on the
401 fairly often. But times have changed.
I have always felt it was the duty of a good citizen to obey the
laws of the country, including our traffic laws. Maximum speeds
listed on the 401 is 60 for trucks and 70 for cars.
Just last week I had occasion to drive some distance on 401, I
guess I'm some kind of a "nut" when it comes to driving. I still feel I
should drive within the speed limit and that my main concern while
driving is to get to my destination safely and to drive in such a way
that I will help others on the road to do the.same.,
For safety's sake we should match htir e'peecrro the general speed
of the traffic. Just try to do that on 401 now and keep within the
law! Even though the speed limit is now 701 found it impossible to
drive within the speed limit and not be a nuisance to traffic, Large,
semi's, some with trailers,were passing me yet their speed limit is 60,
In order to keep up with the general traffic, I had to move up to
about 75. At this speed only a few were passing and I was breaking
the" law in the best interests of safety since excessive passing and
cutting in and out of lanes is a major cause of accidents. I didn't get
a ticket for speeding. Why not? The highway is air patrolled. Does
this mean that we aren't supposed to obey speed limits?
The other thing that irritates me is tailgating. This is the practice
that results in the multi car accidents on our freeways. As I
understand the law, it is the responsibility of the driver to drive at
sufficient distance back to be able to stop if something causes the
car ahead to stop suddenly. At 70 miles an hour this is quite a
considerable distance.
On this recent little trip, my wife was with me. 1 was driving
along close to 75 when I suddenly realized that a big semi was
following at about 30 feet which meant that if I had to stop
suddenly he would run over me before he ever got his foot on his
brake.
There wasn't too much traffic for him to pass so I pumped my
brakes a couple of times but he still insisted on driving close behind.
I got a little peeved, I really feel speeding tickets are a waste of
money and I wasn't going to risk more speed. I asked my wife to get
a pencil and paper and take his number which she did, I then slowed
down gradually and forced him to pass in order to get the name on
the truck.
It turned out that it was a Chicago address and the truck was
leased. When he passed we /bend that he didn't have an Ontario
licence plate but had a Couple of American plates and a Quebec one.
After passing, he pulled in front at over 70 and sat there. Just to see
if we could give him a scare'l told my wife I was going to pass him
slowly and for her to hold her paper and pencil up where he could
see her writing down the name on the car door.
It worked! I pulled in front Of him and slowed down just under
70 and he dropped back to two or three hundred feet and followed
for ten miles or so until we turned off the 401,
1 fully intended to report him but since it was an American truck
without an Ontario licence and only leased I didn't think it was
practical to get any results. Next time I have an opportunity to
discuss it with an O.P.P. officer I will get some information on it,
We have protests and great publicity on the death toll in Vietnam
but we are killing retire people on our highways than in wars. T think
the only Solution is for the drivers on the road to trest the privelege
AS a responsibility not only to drive carefully themselves but to help
our traffic officers to enforee our traffic laws.
The Bayfield Pioneer Park
Association held its annual
meeting of the membership on
Saturday, August 14, outdoors
in Pioneer Park.
After the minutes from the
last meeting were read by Miss
Kay Reid, secretary, Mrs.
nuttier of principle A . ---
BY J. CARL HEMINGWAY
William Parkes delivered the
treasurer's report. Receipts from
the rummage sale, band concert,
dues, etc., were tallied up with
expenditures for maintenance,
hydro, the rummage sale, the art
council, etc., and the balance,
calculated to the beginning of
August, is better than the
balance last year at this time.
It was remarked that the park
looks very nice this year— better
than it ever has before— and the
members agreed,
The rummage sale was
discussed, and it was recalled
that the first sale was in 1948.
"And yet the flow of rummage
continues. It's amazing!"
commented the association's
president, Dr. Herbert
Kalbfleisch.
Mrs. Anne Tillmann,
co-convenor of the rummage sale
with Mrs. Gregory this year,
made special mention of the
help given the sale by the
Dresser brothers of Bayfield,
They "donated time and trouble
for the entire day, and the day
after" to cart rummage to and
from the arena, she said.
The Goodwill had been called
to take any left over articles, but
there was not much left, so a
donation of $10 was made to
that organization by the
Association to cover at least
their time and mileage from
London.
Mrs. Rob Hunter moved a
vote of thanks to Mrs. Tillman
for her excellent job, and Mrs.
Tillmenn accepted on behalf of

August would be an appropriate
time.
The meeting ended as the day
turned into a sunny one.
Monday morning the board
of directors held a follow-up

Members of the association
welcome suggestions for
anniversary projects. For
example, last year the idea of
tennis courts in Bayfield was
brought up. Perhaps if a group
of interested players formed a
club, their appeal for support
might be considered by the
association, The Pioneer Park
Aisociation is proposing new
developments, and looks
forward to suggestions from the
community.

Mrs. Gregory and herself,
A topic foremost in the
minds of the Pioneer Park
Association's membership is
their 25th anniversary next year.
It was May 12, 1947 when the
Association was granted letters
patent by the Province of
Ontario, and on July 28, 1947,
the document was enacted,
The president called on Mrs.
Rob Hunters, "an individual who
has eontributed much to the
Park and the Association" for
any ideas she might have on the
anniversary subject. "I think
that at this point we should
undertake something new to
strive for," she said. A project
for the next 25 years needs to be
found.
"A lot of the villagers
commend the park, but feel they
are outsiders to the Association
and its work. It would be good
to have a project which dealt
directly with the community,"
said Mrs. Jack Walters.
Mrs. Hunter then discussed
plans for anniversary
celebrations next year. Firstly
she suggested a large garden
party in the park, stressing "25
years in Bayfield," with perhaps
a photography exhibit on that
theme. Other ideas were to
revive events which have been
held in the past in connection
with the park, such as a play
(`Sidewalks of New York" was
the selection years ago), or the
"Sheakespearean Festival"
Bay f ield-on-the-Bayfield. The
rummage sale should have a
silver anniversary theme. A
definite date should be set for
the Childrens' Art Show.
Anniversary activities could be
spread over the months of July
and August.
Mrs. Hunter made a motion,
seconded by Mr. Cook, that a
committee be formed to look
into anniversary plans. There
was some confusion at this point
until it was clarified and decided
that two committees were to be
formed: the first to deal with
the actual day or days of
celebration, and the second to
decide on a long-term project of
commitment to the community.
After extensive discussion on
the committee subject, Mrs.
Tillmann commented, "I think
we can get over organized," and
many agreed it was a wise
warning,
Another concern of the
membership is the erecting of a
plaque, probably to honor the
pioneers. Mrs. Erb wondered if
the association could find
someone to donate the metal
plaque. Mr. Ormond then
introduced the idea that the
words be carved right into stone.
He made a motion to this effect,
which was seconded by Mrs.
Smith, and carried. The
association will investigate the
possibility of having this done.
Nine directors sit on the
Association's Board and three
are appointed each year for a
three-year term. The nominating
committee reported the
reappointment of Mrs. John
MacKenzie and Mr. Harry Baker,
and the appointment of Mr. Jack
Cook. Mrs. William Parker will
continue to be secretary.
The new convenors for the
rummage sale next year are Mrs.
Cook and Mrs. Kurtz. The sale is
