Lib­ rary Association held its last meeting on Thursdlay, October 27. By the time this in in print it will be the Bayfield Public Library by a village by-law, ef­ fective November 1. It is interesting to note that in 1915 adult memberships were one dollar a year and 51 years later were the same price. Now, of eburse, as a Public Library, all memberships are free to village homeowners and families. The inaugural meeting of the Library Association was held in ‘the office of H. W. Erwin on May 28, 1915. A' board was elected composed of Rev: R. G. Rickard, president, with Rev. A. Macfarlane, George' Green- dade, II. W. Erwin, J. H. Reid and Harry Drehmann as mem­ bers. At the June 4, 1915 meeting, rules were agreed upon, mem­ bership fees were set, and a committee formed ' to request the use of a room, as a library from A. Galbraith. By July, .66 members had been enrolled, and from the records we note that several of the original members still reside in the vil­ lage, including Mr. George Weston, who was number 14 on the list and is now 95 years of age. In 1918, the library was lo­ cated at Harry Drehmann’s tailor shop, and consisted1 of 575 volumes, 440 adults and 135 juveniles with an annual, circu­ lation of 2,875. In-1920 the, library rented a room in Thomas King’s bake store; this building and two ad­ joining were destroyed by fire in 1922, and we note that $78 fire insurance was received on books lost. The library was forced to move again 'and locat­ ed at a store, owned' by the Misses E. F. Fowlie on Cather­ ine and Main St. with Miss F. Fowlie as librarian. In 1941, the secretary-treas­ urer, the late Mrs. William Metcalf began a campaign to augment ’ funds and increase membership, and from the re­ cords we see that “Entertain­ ment”, "At Homes”, "Dances”, “Bridge and Euchre” Parties and even a “Beian Supper” were held — the latter sounds good with a menu of baked beans, salad, jellied baking powder biscuits and fresh russet cider •• (because'tea and. coffee were rationed). Also an 1941, the Bayfield Li­ brary Association joined -the Huron County Library Associa­ tion and received a selection of books on -a quarterly basis. 1950 saw the library located at the E. A. Featherston prop­ erty on Louisa Street, whet’e it remained until May 12, 1964, when it was made possible through Mr. H. H. Ormond and donations by . friends of thie' li­ brary to- move to- its present lo­ cation on Main St. For many years the Bayfield Library Association supported itself by membership fee, don­ ations and grants by the village council, School Board, Huron County Council and the Provin­ cial Government, .and still hopes to serve the public as-it'has done for the past 51 years. Of particular interest is .that the present secretary, Mi’s. Robert Scotchmer has served on the board for the past 30 years. -----------o----------- Ploughing Bee Held At Bayfield Farm BAYFIELD — Had .a very heart warming story told me on Friday.
