The Bayfield Fire
Department responded to an
alarm Saturday morning at
12:30 a.m. at a cottage

Bad Sturgeon
owned by the Higgs family
on Lake Shore Road in the
village. Upon arrival, no
flames were visible but the
smell of smoke filled the
night air.
A wall inside the cottage is
said to have explodqd in
flames as a result of
overheated stove pipes from
a wood stove., Smoke and
water damage to the
building was extensive
although the structure was
saved by prompt action on
the firemens behalf.
No injuries occurred as
Mrs. Higgs and her child
escaped the flames.
The quietude of the village
was interrupted as the fire
siren again rang out its
Thankyou....

Local talks to Rotarians
"Geology determines
geography", so said Ross
Middleton at the beginning of
his address to the Goderich
Rotary Club.
Ross Middleton is a retired
high school teacher, living
just. outside of Bayfield
where he has developed an
orchard (specializing in
apples) on his farm. Born
and raised in the Bayfield
area, he received his
elementary and secondary
schooling in Clinton, before
taking his teacher's training
in London. After teaching
nine years in the Soo, he
married and moved back to
the farm where he now lives.
While still working on his
degree, Mr. Middleton
became a geography teacher
at the Clinton High School,
later . becoming the depart-
ment head. He now devotes
full time to the orchard since
retiring after 21 years of
teaching at Clinton. -
He continued his address
by stating that the
geographer examines soil
(in the Huron County glacial
till) , vegetation, animal life,
examines the environment
and relates man's activities
to his environment.
We live in a sedimental
area. About 500 million years
ago it was under salt seas,
that being the reason for the
salt mines and oil oc-
currences in the area today.
Oil concentrated in the
Huron and Michigan
"domes", was relatively

shallow and therefore easily
discoverd. This sedimentary
area covering southwestern
Ontario and extending north-
wardto the pre -Cambrian
rocks, has probably been
through four ice ages.
Time to a geologist is
measured in millionsof years.
Comparing the time of a
geologist to one year, man
has only been around for half
a day.
He showed slides of a
glacial till or "till plains" in
the Hensall and Kippen
areas. All the good farm land
is formed from glacial till.
The retreating ice also left
high ground deposits known
as moraines with large
drainage basins between,
such as the one from
Holmesville to Hills Green
and Grand Bend. Moraines,
being high and well drained
are ideal locations for high-
ways.
A "drumlin" at Wiarton is
another glacial fora in the
shape of a whale. The steep
sides of this form however,
render it useless for far-
ming.
Depositing a mixture of
sand, gravel and boulders, a
stream of melting ice water
under the surface of the ice
formed an "esker,' near
Seaforth.
An old lake beach shown in
one slide was rec-
commended as a good
location for an orchard.
Erosion by running water
was easily seen ina picture of
the meanders of the
Maitland River.
The Rotarians thank Mr.
Middleton for a most in-
teresting lesson in local
geography.
Remembrance service held

brance Day service in Clan
