Morton entertained a busload of ladies and gen- tlemen last week from the Bluewater Rest Home, Zurich. Her home was gaily decorated with a festive atmosphere for the Christmas Tea. Mrs. Dorothy Merner, Mrs. Nina Haw, Mrs. Ethel Poth and Mrs. Elva Metcalf assisted Mrs. Morton in serving the guests. Bayfield Lions contributed to the bus which transports the residents of the Home and adds greatly to their pleasure. HISTORICAL SOCIETY Bayfield Historical Society held their regular meeting on Monday evening, with a real good turnout. The Society decided to pur- chase another 500 hasty notes to sell as the present supply is almost depleted. Mrs. LeRoy Poth spoke of her committee's work at the Cemetery gathering names, dates and old verses off the tombstones. The work has been completed in rough form and is being typed and compiled for the Archives Room. A discussion on historical pamphlets of the Village en- sued and suggestions for a project for next summer were discussed. Mrs. Florrie Oddleif- son kindly consented to do a mock-up place mat with drawings of scenes and historical buildings in the illage. This will be viewed at he next meeting. Reprints of Early Canadian ietory, by Catherine Parr raill, was the' topic of the vening and it was noted t& rs. Traill was a trained otanist who came to Canada om England and settled here. he felt that there was so little otany in the text books for tudy by school children that he decided to write books on he subject to further their in- rest in nature. She knew that e early settlers were very con- ious of the beauty around em and they realized the eat value of the roots for edicinal purposes as well as sing them to dye their othing. In 1868 with the help f Mrs. Fitzgibbon, Mrs. Traill rote the books and Mrs. Fit- ibbon did the illustrations. It is extremely interesting to ote that these two ladies (over 00 years ago) wanted to ._....._ FIGHT RESPIRATORY DISEASES WITH CHRISTMAS SEALS preserve for posterity the value and beauty of nature and were extremely interested in Canada's ecology, a subject that is foremost in the minds of most people today. Mr. and Mrs. Philip DuBoulay, who have a her- barium containing over 5000 dried plants, kindly arranged a display of 35 of these which were mentioned and illustrated in Mrs. Train's book. Mr. DuBoulay stated the plants on display were from the Bayfield area, a few from Nova Scotia and some from the Bruce Peninsula. He remarked that it was surprising that these plants had survived for so many generations, but were getting harder to find as highways, trailer camps and the like were gradually taking over the bush and swamps, where most of the wild plants are found. In closing, Mr. DuBoulay stated "What Mrs. Traill saw over 100 years ago, we can still see today, which is heartening". Mrs. Traill left two books en- titled "Backwoods of Canada" and "Canadian Settlers Guide", which are especially interesting and most infor- mative. Mrs. A.S. Morton, chairman of the Society, remarked that years ago, with books at a premium, each household probably had no more than three in their possession, and they would most likely be the Bible, a herbal, and a cook book, which contained the use of herbs and the art of dyeing. A delicious lunch was served by the committee in charge of Mrs. Fred Clift, while the gathering viewed and commen- ted on the interesting display and thanked the DuBoulay's for their generosity in bringing nature closer to the people.
