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.
President Clair Merrier
presided and opened with the
singing of the National Anthem
and repeating the Lord's
Prayer in unison. One minute
of Prayer was observed for our
late member, Lindsay Smith.
The president thanked
everyone who had remembered
him with cards and gifts while
he was in hospital in London,
No meeting was held in Oc-
tober, so the secretary Mrs.
Margaret Larson read the
minutes of the Sept. meeting,
which were approved. 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. It is hoped that all mem-
bers will be able to attend.
The meeting adjourned and
cards were enjoyed. Prizes went
to Mrs. Ida Menery, Mrs.
Duggan, R.J. Larson, Andy
McFarland and Mrs. Esther
Makins. A lovely lunch was ser-
ved, and happy birthday wishes
were sung to Mrs. Jean Bell,
Mrs. Pearl Hutchings, Lloyd
