Hundreds of people lined up in
the rain to await the opening of the
doors for the Pioneer Park
Annual Rummage Sale held last
Friday evening in the arena.
A huge birthday cake depicting
25 years of Pioneer Park
Associations was on display,
flanked by 400 colourfully iced
cupcakes, a project of three young
ladies, Kate Williams, Cathie and
Ainslie Willock,
Tables laden with potted plants,
dishes, toys, shoes, skates,
books, millinery and parasols
were attractively displayed,
along with • quilts, linens,
draperies and racks of men's,
women'sand children's clothing.
Stoves, screen doors and laundry
tubs were all sold for a minimal
fee.
A clown was especially busy
blowing up balloons for the
younger set (although most were
broken before the evening was
over).
Mrs. Gordon Kurtz and 'Mrs,
John R. Cook who convened the
sale this year termed it a
tremendous success and said a
vote of thanks was due all those
who gave donations and
contributed time and effortto help
make it such a success. Special
thanks was also given to K-Mart of
London and local merchants and
residents.
Monies realized from this
annual sale go towards the upkeep
of Pioneer Park, the grass
cutting, the shrubbery and tree-
trimming and the repairing of
benches, etc.
This park, open to the public, is
very
This park, open to the public, is
very well maintained and is a spot
where many people gather each
evening to watch the sunset out
over Lake Huron or sit in the
shade in the afternoon and just
relax,
Many free activities are
planned for this summer for this,
their 25th anniversary
celebrations.

The Lambton Youth Theatre, a
Sarnia-based group of high
school, college and university
theatre arts students is once
again operating under a grant
from the federal government's
Opportunities for Youth
programme and is performing in
Pioneer Park, Bayfield on'
Sunday, July 43 at fi p,m, The
company was formed to tour
Western Ontario on summer
weekends, performing plays free
of charge wherever
entertainment was welcome.
In 1971, the Lambton Youth
Theatre provided excellence in
live open-theatre-in-the-round
performing .a play "Che" in urban
areas and towns suchas Bayfield,
Zurich and Goderich as well as
provincialparks, fairs, festivals
and many towns and cities,
The group's performance in
Pioneer Park is a showcase of
dramatic entertainment entitled'
"'llexastylos" and is being
presented in collage form which
will appeal to any audience.
The settings, costumes,
properties and masks used in
"Hexastylos" have been designed
and executed by the nine members
of the group. By performing
outdoors on scaffolds in the three
quarter round, the company is
challenged to portray six
dramatic styles (tragedy,
comedy, realism, absurdity,
fantasy, and free form) which
should have something of interest
for everyone regardless of age.
As varied as their backgrounds
and interests may be, they all
share common bonds of
friendship, talent, love and
enthusiasm for their ambitious
programme.

At the meeting of the Bayfield
Agricultural Society held on
Thursday, plans for the fair on
Sept. 1 and 2 were finalized, with
special stress given to adequate
advertising.
Mr. Harry Baker was appointed
to fill a vacancy on the Board of
Directors.
Reeve Ed, Oddleifson thanked
the fair board for the erection of
the barrier at the gates to the
grounds and said it was proving
effective in stopping the unwanted
traffic through the Fair Grounds.
Tom Penhale was given a vote of
thanks for his work in making and
erecting the barrier,
The secretary-treasurer
announced that the society has
been granted a registered number
for donation receipts by the
taxation department. The fair
board ruled that receipts will be
issued only for donations of five
dollars or over. Memberships
were collected and donations
received towards the "bakeless"
bake sale.
The fair board plans to return
some of the tables used from Clan
Gregor Square by the Saturday
evening following the fair. It is
also plannieg to have the arena
ready for roller skating for the
Sunday_evening.
Every year at the Pioneer Park
Rummage Sale someone remarks
on the question as to whether
articles bought one year are ever
donated back another year,
Kim Fellows of Dearborn,
Michigan and a recent graduate of
the University of Western
Ontario, can tell you that they
most assuredly do. Kim found
(and purchased) a pink and white
gingham pyjama bag she had
owned as a wee girl, and had
donated to the sale a number of
years ago.

The Coffee House being held in
the basement of Knox
Presbyterian Church under the
capable leadership of the student
minister Mr. Lloyd Clifton and
youth co-ordinator Mr. Doug
Allen is proving to be very worth
while.
Last weekend, 100 young adults
dropped in to hear the imported
talent plus a number of the local,
talent who were performing.
A "Day Camp" is also being
run each morning from 10 a.m. to
noon for ages from five to 15,
featuring arts and crafts, hiking,
sports and Bible study, and is
receiving favourable attendance,
Mr. Allen drives each morning to
Sunset Cove near St. Joseph for a
car load of young people and would
be happy to pick-up your
youngsters if transportation is a
problem. The group are still
collecting bottles for re-cycling
to defray expenses.
Mr. Clifton tells us a spirited-
minded citizen had given an
anonymous donation towards the
purchase of a new electric organ
for Knox Church. The organ has
been placed in the Church and was
played for the first time last
Sunday morning at their worship
service by Mrs. Don Johnston, for
which the minister and
congregation say a special thank
you. An organ fund has been
established to help cover the cost
of the remaining portion and
upkeep.
Rev. Malcolm Muth (a cousin of
Mrs. Lloyd Westlake) from North
Battl eford, Saskatchewan
