The couple va­ cations at Bayfield, in toe Lane o’ i Pines area established by Fred Wallis. March appeared to have a lamb-like temperament when it came in—at least in this district. But like the pattern for the apst year, toe weather “first she blow hot and then she blow cold?” With the mercury in the fifties, the ice at the arena disappeared just as it deteriorated in toe open on occasions in toe past when the young fry were hoping for good ice— and adults,' too, if one went far enough back into pioneer days! ■ Lucy recalls hearing that in the early days, the young folk from “Wood Villa” in Stanley Township, skated up toe Jake to church at Bayfield. Then1 there were gay ice carnivals. Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Brownson (who built the present Mrs. Fred Mc­ Ewen house) entertained at skating parties on toeir pond when the, scene was gay with masqueraders. Candle-lit lanterns added to the scene, if for any reason toe moon did not oblige with light. And later, under cover, ice used to be made in the bld drill shed for .skating. A tale related to Lucy concerning one masquerade was when Mrs. R. Stanbury as Mary, Queen of Scots (Mrs. Stanbury’s maiden name was Stuart and she always mas­ queraded ais her unfortunate Royal kinswoman) and Mrs. Tudor J. Marks, all in green, representing Ireland, collided and fell down. One local wag termed it: “toe fall of Mary, Queen of Scots and the Overthrow of Ireland.”' The mill pond also provided ice in toe early days both for skating and curling. If Lucy remembers correctly, Bayfield -had the third curling club organized in Upper Canada. A good many of tog old. houses in the village around toe turn of the century contained old wooden stanes left by previous owners. One or two are still in existence. There was a pair of stanes in the back shop at toe old Rutledge house on Main Street after Lucy moved there with her parents in 1907. But it wasn’t too many yeans before her father broke them up to -use /the iron handles for another purpose. Names of others who are known to have belonged to ■the Bayfield Curling -Club were James A. Gairdner, Dr. R, H. Gairdner, Tailor MacDonald and James Whitten. Hardy Scots names probably predominated in toe names of other members wiho have vanished into the past. With the skating on the river or toe lake, there was always the danger of air pockets in the ice. Lucy’s parents were quite fearful of such, and it required a great deal of persuasion on her part and sometimes inspection by one or other parent, before she was allowed to skate in such 'places. She and her sister always received a great many warnings, and they were not without reason. Harry 'Baker recalls that Norman Toms fell through an |aM .pocket, right up to his neck on the river in the vicinity of Thomson’s barn. Several -were bent oh skating up to toe Hog’s Back, but seeing Norman go down and getting him out again, gave them a shock that changed their plans. As long as there was good ice on Clan Gregor Square between toe cross roads and St Andrew’s Church (before toe main roads were taken out and routed around the square) or in Blair’s field, Lucy and Jean were deemed to be safe -from drowning. There was often good skating on Thomson’s flats. And from this spot James A. Cameron, one of toe skaters around the turn of the century recalls skating up the river quite a distance beyond the Hog’s Back with Billy Whiddon—they got tired just going around the circle on the flats. On one occasion about 60 years ago, the river had been in flood when toe temperature dropped suddenly and it froze ovei’ again. The ice was like glass and three strong skaters, George Turner, Jim Walmsley and Malcolm Toms enjoyed skating to Turner’s Bridge, near Varna and back. According to Malcolm Toms, -it didn’t take long. There was often good ice on the bend of the river below the north bank, where the bridge cuts across now. Sometimes it would be covered with snow. The older iboys might have cleaned it off early in the day, but if not there was sure to be a shovel or pusher taken along after four o’clock, just in case, and the boys soon had a good space cleared off for hockey. There -were no’ regular teams. They just chose sides and played fair for fun. Then it was that the girls and little boys kept to the sides out of harm’s way. Tile same applied td the space where toe fishermen and others cut ice for toe refrigeration of those days. But here, too, there was danger of some not being frozen over. William McDool (“Dooley”) stepped On what he thought "was ice It turned out to be slush, and he went in over his head and had to ibe helped out of the icy water, According to Harry Baker,' it wasn’t only humans who got onto thin ice, Billy Sturgeon was cutting ice With his old bMck mare pulling the saw, Suddenly, she plunged through with only her head above water. Her struggles to get out were of no avail, Someone held her by the head, Billy got her by toe tail, and about 12 boys joined hands and pulled with all their might, and out -she came! Willing hands rubbed her dowh, she was blanketed and walked Up and down on the solid ice until she whs dry, and fully recovered from the shock. Ibe forming in the spaces after harvesting was often like glass and then the skaters of the day displayed their prowess. Lahrie Fowlie did -beautiful figure skating. Jack Castle, William Erwin, Fred Fowlie, Frank King, Harry Baker and Haibld Westbri were all sWift and expert skaters aS LUcy recalls, On one occasion Jean Woods, Harty Baker, Shirley King and Harold Weston skated up the lake towards Goderich for three miles. One Saturday, Elva and Anne Dewar were amongst those skating between the pjers, Next morning when toey- went to Sunday School the ice had gone out! Parents of to-day haVe nbt those .Worries When their children go to the arena to skate, but their entertainment is work for adults in making and maintaining ice, There has been considerable hockey this winter; The Lions'Club team of older bdys as coached by Harold Weston.
