This School was erected on this site in 1836, constructed'by the villagers of logs; part of which is incorporated into the front part of "The Hut", Arrangements are being finalized for the unveiling of the plaque. A letter was received from Mrs, Eagelson of London; whose husband's family settled in Hayfield. She has kindly consented to speak to our Historical Society early in the fall. A pamphlet written by Margaret Jane Peck, sister of Mrs. Fred McEwen and Mr, Arthur Peck, entitled "The Homely Fortress," tells of her family and childhood life on the home farm on the Varna road about 11 /2 miles east of Hayfield, The farm is still occupied by her brother Arthur and family; the pamphlet was loaned for the meeting by her sister Mrs. McEwen.

Clift (returned), The executive were given a free hand to appoint committees to assist them, Mrs. A.S. Morton gave a most interesting account of the first Local Board of Health formed in the village on March 23, 1885. Their first duty was to inform the owner of the Cider Mill to have his apple refuse removed immediately. On April 13, 1885 they decided to make an inspection of the village which was carried out on May 1; the end of May the board reported sawdust in the river (which aroused considerable discussion by council) and a dirty privy (which was ordered to be cleaned). Enough discussion resulted from the sawdust in the river that council wrote the Ontario Board of Health requesting action to he taken. June 5 they received a reply stating sawdust was a refuse; also that all persons should be vaccinated for smallpox. No action was taken. A resident was requested to nail up his well as it was unfit for use. The Board of Health requested council to elect a Medical Health Officer and a Sanitary Inspector; council filed the request. Not until 1894 was a Medical Officer appointed and the necessary steps were begun to vaccinate the school children (at a cost of 25 cents per child.) In 1902 vaccinations finally got under way. June 5, 1917 screens were ordered to be put on the school to exclude flies. In 1918, Dr. N. Woods, moved that they close all schools, churches, public meetings etc. on account of the flu epidemic, In 1922, large posters were ordered printed; all waste materials, animal, vegetable and mineral was to be burned or buried or a fine would he levied. The last entry in the ledger was dated in 1927, dealing with sanitation, epedemics, care of the sick, senior citizens and pollution; which to-day is still foremost in the minds of councils and residents. Following adjournment a social hour was enjoyed. ST. ANDREW'S UCW 'The May meeting of Unit I of St. Andrews United Church was held Thursday, May 4 at the home of Mrs. A.S. Morton.

Six cartons of 192 boxes of cookies were sold. Many thanks to those who bought and if you were missed the girls are sorry and will have to order more next year. BROWNIE MEETING REPORT BY FREDA HILL Our Brownie meeting started with our Brownie and Sixer songs. Freda Hill 'was fairy queen. Brown Owl thanked for the good job we had done on Saturday afternoon when we had our cookie drive. Several of the girls received their Artists Badges. Sandra Snell and Joanne Mackie had earned their cooking badge during the week and Joanne brought a real nice mounted stone collection for her collectors badge. Freda Hill earned her craft badge and Ann Talbot her housekeeping. The girl decided they would have a wiener roast. to finish off our Brownie season, the last Tuesday night in May instead of having our Mom's and guests. The Brownies all signed their autographs in a book to be sent to Tracy Wallis who recently left our Pack to move to Thunder Bay. Mary Ann Rathwell and Joanne Chapman conducted a game. Golden Hand Brownies worked on their semaphore and compass. We closed with our Brownie Song and prayer. Bayfield is alive these week- ends with many varied activities. Last week-end about 30 craft were launched; and the harbour is beginning to fill up with all types of boats; anglers are dotted along the river banks pulling out some real nice catches of salmon and rainbow trout. The campsites are filling up; cottages are aglow and we hear via the grapevine that dances are scheduled to operate again this season in Jowetts Groves, The regular meeting of Trinity Anglican Church Women was held at "The Hut" home of Mrs. Carl Diehl on Thursday afternoon May 4, The Thankoffering amounted to $57,00. It was decided to hold the Tea and Bake Sale on July 14 at 2:30 in the Trinity Church Parish Hall. Mrs. J.B. Higgins gave another chapter of the Unjust Society by Harold Cardinal, our study book entitled "They know what they do." In it he tells the time for "do- gooders" is finished. Indians do not want second hand clothing; they want jobs. They want to plan their own society. They will accept money so they can have their own specialists. They claim they are victims of the Ottawa Government. The meeting closed with Prayer and after; a delightful tea was served.
