After a Wig, hard winter, we Canadians are happy to take to the outdoors to enjoy the sun, sand and water. It may be too cool to swim or even lay on the beach, but it's perfect for strolling on the streets of our resorts, with an ice cream cone in hand, while taking in all the sights. Bayfield is my favorite summer place, and this year, I'm happy to be -working there, part time, in a new an- tique shop, Things and Places. This • past weekend, the village was buzz- ing with people. Some came to dine leisurely at one of the several ex- cellent eating establishments, while others were putting their boats back into the water anticipating another felicific season of sailing. Most peo- ple, however, were there just to browse, to saunter along the grassy walks on Main Street, which still has buildings dating back to the early 1800s, and is lined with ancient, sheltering trees.

In short, there's an aura surrounding the place. In my opinion, the only thing that spoils it is all the high powered cars parked on either side of Main Street. It would really look better if only horses and buggies were allowed! There are European cities where no cars are permitted; one must park on the outskits and either walk or take another mode of transportation (such as boats in Venice) into the city. Perhaps Bayfield's town fathers might consider the idea, and invest in a fleet of fringed topped surreys and high stepping drivers: Not that there isn't any 20th century hipe in Bayfield. There certainly is. Many businesses, with the sole pur- pose of making money, are,there, but most of them are clever enough to do it, unobtrusively, without offending one's sensibilities, as they display their many wares, from Figh fashion clothes to pizza, in the old houses, or Bayfield is to stroll to Pioneer Park, each summer's evening, to watch the sun go down.

Bev Prout's group was in charge of the lunch. In keep- ing with the Mother's Day theme, members invited their mother, mother-in-law, daughter, daughter-in- law, aunt, sister or friends to share in a special program led by Alice MacLean's group. The meeting was opened with prayer and a poem entitled "A Mother's Love" was read. The scrip- ture was read from the First Book of Samuel recounting the story of Han- nan and the hymn "When Mother's of Salem" was sung. . A special mother, Mrs. Verona Snider, was introduced and told us of her years spent as• a foster mother. She has been fostering children for 19 years and during that time has taken in 33 foster children. Mrs. Snider has served on the Board of Directors of the Family and Childrens Services for 16 years. She related many heart-warming, humourous and also tragic stories dealing with giving a home to so many children. She also gave us some Sorority gals choose' -SIS: Alpha Tau Sorority Chapter met at the home of Mary Jane Taylor May 13 for a delicious pot luck supper.

Photo by Neil Ostrander in new buildings, constructed to fit in with an early Ontario look. The founder of Bayfield was Baron de Tuyll, and he and his surveyor, Lieutenant Henry Bayfield dreamed of it becoming an important centre of commerce. That didn't happen, and for many years, thetiny hamlet slept on like Rip Van Winkle, with only a few residents to enjoy its beauty and peace. It always had a mystique about it, however, So that those who did stray away nearly always seem- ed to come back. Gradually, more and more people heard of this idyllic place on Lake Huron, and with the ad- vent of automobiles to carry families to holidays, it blossomed into a unique vacation spot, until today, people come from thousands of miles to share its special charm. (The 700 residents who live the year round will tell you it's even more charming when the vacationers go home!... still, it's nice to share the wealth.) Although Baron de Tuyll and Lieutenant Bayfield never saw their dream of a commerce centre realiz- ed, it seems to me, if they were to walk down Main Street on a lovely summer evening and watch all the customers opening their wallets as they browse in and out of the many places of business they'd be more than gratified. And then, if they stroll- ed on down to the river and saw the millions of dollars worth of pleasure boats plying out to the Lake, the old fellows would be delighted beyond their wildest dreams. TO MARRY — Bill and Helene Regier of Mt. Carmel are pleas- ed to announce the forthcoming marriage of their only daughter, Carol Ann to John M. Denomy son of Jean and the late Jerry Denomy of Goderich. The ceremony will take place at 3 p.m. June 7, 1986 at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church. Open reception to follow in Exeter.
