Today's kids, you teenagers
who are having such a rough
time of it these days, are hearing
all the theories and thoughts
about religion that have ever
been dredged up out of the
minds of humans. You are
listening to those of us who
have made some kind of a
decision about our faith as well
as to those of us who still
haven't actually pinned down
what we believe.
In short, the guidance you
will get from adults about
religion is just as confused as the
guidance you get from them on

Rambling with Lucy
BY Lucy ff.wOoos
The PlaYfield Patriotic Society, organized woe after the beginning
of World War was a lively local, organization which contributed
greatly to the war effort and, the comfort Pf those serving with the
Canadian Forces Oversees.
As the boys from this district were repatriated, the Patriotic
Society honoured them, in groups with A banquet in the Town Hall.
Then with the monies on hand, a bronze memorial to those who did
not return was, erected in the Town Hall before the books were
closed,
(The plaque was built into the memorial cairn in Clan Gregor
Square when it was erected some years later.)
Travel in those days was not so swift as today, bUt outside as well
es local talent was used for concerts. Thus in the files of the Clinton
News-Record is an advertisement of a concert by the Girls'
Auxiliary; Marguerite Clark, Mrs. May Rance MacKinnon,
elocutioeist, and local, talent in the Town Hall, Bayfield under the
auspices of the Patriotic Society,
Then on February 25, 1918, a Minstrel Show by local persons was
presented, described in the news column as "a great treat."
A few months ago, Mrs. Robert Scotchmer called on Lucy and
handed her a program written in ink on sheet of a loose leaf
notebook.
"Do you remember this?" she asked.
"No," replied Lucy, gazing at it casually.
Then suddenly there was something familiar about it. It was ip her
own handwriting (much more readable than her hieroglyphics of
today.)
1. Chorus, "Chilen Come Along."
2. Six jokes by the ladies.
3. Solo and chorus, "Swing dose gates ajar."
4. Jokes by the men.
5. Solo and chorus, "Lam a strayin"
(Mrs. Dave Sturgeon may have sung the solo in this number.)
6, Stump Speech by L. Woods.
(This number is a blank in Lucy's memory).
7. Solo and chorus "Camp Town Races" (Mrs. Scotchmer tells
Lucy that her father, Dr. Ninian W. Woods, sang the solo.)
8. Jokes by men.
9. Chorus "Uncle Ned."
10. Six jokes by the ladies.
11: Solo and chorus, "Rosa ,Lee." (Ed. F. Merner sang the solo
beautifully Lucy recalls).
12. Stump Speech, Miss Geddes. (Miss Dean Geddes taught the
senior room and continuation class in the old Bayfield Public School
at that time. She was a daughter of Dr. Geddes V.S., Lucknow. She
married John Robertson, Mount Forest, who predeceased her. Mrs.
Robertson died about 16 months ago).
13. Solo and chorus, Mrs. Ashe Everest. (She was the wife of the
rector of Trinity Church).
14. 'Six jokes by the ladies.

were stored in A. Erwin's barn. Miss Geddes had one, Lucy one, but
who the third person was she has forgotten. Blow as hard as we
could, the only sound we could.make as we waddled grotesquely
across the stage was a rancorous hoot. Lucy wonders what happened
those old instruments. They would be prize items of the past for the
historic society).
After an intermission a little play, "The Pink Tea" was staged.

Etrucefield
BY MRS. H. F. BERRY
They're goiog to say, "There
she goes again, Bible-Wang
Keller wants to get her licks in
for the Lord Jesus Christ just
because it is Easter time."
Well, it is the troth. Once or
twice a year, usually at
Christmas and Easter, I bend
yoor ear about the simple truths
to which I subscribe. Call me a
religious nut if you like, but
that's the evay it is with me. You
do your thing, I'll do mine,
This Easter season has slipped
up on me. I guess it is because
Easter has arrived a little earlier
than usual. March isn't the time
for Easter bonnets and bunny
rabbits and delicate daffodils
now is it? Still, Easter is upon us
and. with Easter comes all these
signs of spring whether we're
ready or not,
Come to think of it, Spring
and Easter go together. It really
isn't much wonder. Just as
Spring is a reawakening of
nature, Easter holds the promise
for the grand reawakening,
Though everything appeared
dead as dead can be through the
winter, Spring arrives and
suddenly the plants and the
bushes and the trees burst forth
in new vibrant bloom.
I don't understand how some
people can live through Spring
after Spring after Spring and
never accept the Easter story.
They go together, I think, and it
is difficult to separate the two.
You see Spring, you believe in
life after death.
But that's not really what I
wanted to tell you this time. I
wanted to make some kind of
appeal to the kids, these poor
mixed-up souls who look to
adults for some sort of guidance
but usually get just a bunch of
double-talk.
I just made a rather
astounding discovery. Of course
I had known it all along but it
had to come to me in real life
before I felt its true impact.
I learned that you can take a
child to Sunday School, you can
take him to church regularly,
you can set the best possible
example for him at home, you
can repeat the Bible truths over
and over. But until that
youngWr 'iree
Wesley-Willis UCW group, the
Magic Circle, met in Mrs. Wes
Holland's home on March 17.
The president, "Mrs. Nediger,
opened the meeting with a
spring poem. Mrs. McLaren
chose God is not Dead as the
theme for her devotional. She
was assisted by Mrs. Shearing
and Mrs. Holland. The period
closed with the singing of
"Christ the Lord is Risen
Today." Mrs. B. Sutter and Mrs.
Wes Holland sang a lovely duet
and Mrs. Win. Hearn
accompanied them on her guitar.
The business meeting was
conducted by Mrs. Nediger. Mrs.
M. Steepe read the minutes of
the February meeting. The
treasurer's report showed than
hat show, held in February,
had been very successful.
Roll call was answered with
an Easter thought.
Committee reports were
given. The ladies were asked to
save nylons for Korea. The
members told Mrs. Currie,
visiting convener, that hospital
calls had been made and home
calls.
Mrs. Mowatt told of the
Sunday evening, March 15,
service held at Huronview and
said it would be much
appreciated if more people
would assist next month.
Mrs. Nediger announced that
the Wesley-Willis and Ontario
Street joint, Thankoffering
service will be held in Ontario
Street Church, at 7:30 p.m. on
April 12'.
A note from Mrs. D. Andrews
was read, requesting help with

closed on Saturday. The four end men were Dr. Woods, Rev. Alfred Macfarlane, E. F.
Merner and A. E. Erwin. The interlocutor may have been F. A.
Edwards,
There was great discussion about blacking, Myrtle Stinson was
helping and since they had started to have the house on Clan Gregor
Square done over before retiring from the farm, she offered to have
those taking part, go there to be made up. Lucy was one. The Rev.
Alfred Macfarlane, minister of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church,
refused to black and had a black silk stocking mask. Dr. Woods was
bald and he certainly wasn't going to put burned cork on his head,
so he made himself a wig out of Lucy's old grey Persian lamb tam,
Casey (D. L.) Atkinson made up Miss Geddes so that her lips
spread over a good part of her face.
Miss Maude McGregor was amongst those who took part. She
always attracted attention in her "dress-ups."
