Huron during the blizzard last weekend that dumped nearly a foot of snow on parts of
Huron County. Another storm could seriously threaten more cottages. (photo by C.T,Rudd)
Miles of sandy beaches and tons of shoreline earth disappeared into Lake Huron over the
weekend as ten foot waves combined with record high water levels, threatening many area
cottages. These cottages north of Bayfield now lack a beach and part of the front lawn

Attendance small at supper
114411v9na ErlOsten
The Bean Supper, sponsored
by the Board of Stewards of St.
Andrews United Church, was

The weather played havoc
and the attendance was down
from last year, however the
men were pleased with the tur-
nout and the proceeds were
gratifying.Tem Penhale, Jeff
Mayman and David Renner
were in charge of cooking the
sausage and bacon; Ray Scot-
chmer was head waiter and
Eric Earl and Steve Argyle did
a spleodid job of pouring tea.
Delbert Haw took tickets and
Roy Scotchmer and Clair Mer-
ner were, at the door.
"Waitresses" were Gary Camp-
bell Rick Penhale, John Wet-
son, Don Campbell, John Siert—
sema and John Campbell.
Heading the dishwashing
brigade were Ken Knights,
Gordon Porter,Lloyd Westlake
and Ray Cox.
At 6 p.m. the draw for the
Shel!craft Rug Kit, on which
the ladies of the U.C.W, had
sold tickets, took place, and the
lucky ticket drawn by Rev.

rier, Bayfield.

interesting demonstiation on

making of a coffee mug. The

ladies in charge for the month.
Next meeting will be a joint
one, Wednesday evening, April
11 at 8:15 when arrangements
will be made for the Bake Sale

STORM DAMAGE
Gale force winds played
havoc along the shores of Lake
Huron during the weekend and
caused reportedly millions of
dollars in damage. However,
we were more fortunate in
Bayfield than a great many
communities.-hardest hit was
the beach area below Pioneer
Park, Brigadier Morgan
Smith's and southerly along
the beach fronting many sum-
mer homes.
Brig. Smith has worked ar-
duously, and put a great deal of
expense into building a trial
wall with gabion baskets. This
wall had proved very suc-
cessful and plans are to con-
tinue this year by building
more walls. These walls are
built of baskets; three feet deep,
three feet wide and six feet long
and are filled with huge rocks
and are piled three baskets
high and extend 50 feet out into
Lake Huron. To be effective"
these walls must be placed at
approximately 100 foot inter-
vals along the beach.
In talking to Brig. Smith, on
Monday morning he said that
"the key basket (the one closest
to the shore) had emptied and
consequently the water had
washed in behind and had
taken out most of the beach
that had been built up, and
caused a great deal of erosion.
This is a very serious problem
and our hopes are that we can
build more walls this year and
hopefully the water will have
receded .enough that this work
can he started as soon as
possible."
The boats in the Bayfield
river were very safe, thanks to
our natural harbour, and it is
to be hoped that no one be
allowed to tamper• with our
natural harbour that has been
a refuge for may craft in terrific
storms, We can only realize
what could happen after seeing
what the boats went through in
Goderich harbour on the
weekend, bobbing around like
corks afloat in the sea.
