Clinton CLINTON NEWS-RgooRpt 'THURSDAY, IsilOVFMUR A very special welcome to Dr, G.H. Shepherd and Mrs, Shepherd, following their decision to settle in Bayfield and for Dr, Shepherd's humanitarianism in opening a practise here in the Village. Dr. Shepherd comes to us from Windsor where he was a general practitioner for almost 38 years, and although he claims to be semi-retired, several patients were awaiting his professional advice in his office when we talked with him on Monday afternoon. Dr. Shepherd is a very warm and friendly person and reminds one of the old "country doctor". We asked him about making house calls and his an- swer was "yes" without hesitation. When we asked him if he would be affiliated with any of the 'surrounding hospitals he said it seemed much more reasonable to refer patients to a doctor in Goderich or Clinton if they required hospitalization, and felt this would be a satisfactory arrangement. Dr. Shepherd's office is in renovated quarters in the Graham General Store Building (the site of the former Post Office) on Main St., and his office hours are from 10 a.m. to 12 noon and from 2 to 4 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, but he would be happy to take calls even in his home, Dr. Shepherd told us he has been coming to Bayfield for 30 years and it was an easy decision to come here to live permanently. He has built a lovely new home on Louisa St. and settled in on September 12 and opened his practise of- ficially on October 29. It was around 1933 when we last had a doctor practising in the Village, so we warmly an- ticipated Dr. Shepherd's rumoured settling and prac- tising in the Village, which is now a reality. Dr. and Mrs. Shepherd have a married daughter, a granddaughter and a grandson. SENIOR CMZENS • • The November meeting of the Senior Citizens was held in the Municipal Building last Friday evening with 30 members in at- tendance.

Mrs. Vine Parker gave her treasurer's report, which was also approved. It was moved by Harry Baker that we vote a sum of money to the treasurer for petty cash which was ap. proved. Mrs. Lillian Higgins expressed our sincere happiness to the president on his complete recovery following surgery. The president reported that a representative had met with the Reeve, and a piece of land (next to the Municipal I3uilding) is being considered for the senior citizen housing units. This location was hap-, pity accepted by all senior citizens present at the meeting, As yet, no . further infor- mation has been received from the New Horizons Program., Our annual Christmas Dinner will be held in the basement of the United Church, Thursday, November 29 at 6 p.m. This year, the dinner will be only for all paid up members of the Club.
