C '4T6 4 NEW$ RECQRP, THURSDAY, :JUNE 1' ,1975^ PA • Makins' son graduates Congratulations to Brian Makins, son of Mr, and Mrs. Arnold Makins, who graduated from Conestoga College, Kit- chener as a' fluid power; technician following- a two year course. Attending the graduation exercises at the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium, were his parents, sister Bonnie and his paternal grtandparents, Mr. and Wks. Lloyd Makins of Bayfield and his. maternal grandparents, Mr. and, Mrs. George Wrighti►f London. Society hearsnoted historian The regular meeting of Bayfield Historical Society was very fortunate to have a wonderful and interesting speaker at theft- meeting Monday evening in the person of Dr. James Talman of Lon- don. In • introducing the very distinguished gentleman, Brig Fred Clift mentioned that Dr. Talman had first spoken to the Society November 23, 1964 and called Dr. Talman "Dr. History of Western Ontario". Dr. James John Talman was born in Mozambique. His father was a Merchant Naval Officer, who helped to build Victoria Falls Bridge on the Zambezia River: At age 9, James came to Canada and received his University education at UWO. He holds a PHd from the University of Toronto; an Honourary Doctor of Arts, University Waterloo and U.W.O. He graduated in 1930 and took a job as assistant in the Provincial Archives in Toronto until 1934, when he became Provincial Archivist for Ontario, a position he held for five years from 1935-1939 and at the same time he was the Librarian for the Ontario Legislature; from 1939 to 1947 he was the assistant Librarian at the U.W.O. and in 1947 he became the Chief Librarian of U.W.O. until' his retirement in 1970. In 1970 the Queen of England decorated him with the O.B.E. He is a member .of the Canadian Historical Association and was president in 1954-55; a member of the Ontario Historical Association from 1927 to present a total of 48 years and was their president from 1939 to 1942 and is a member of the Ontario Library Assoc. arid was also president of their association from 1945- 46. D r: Tatman isvery--modest man and said that you should never oversell- a speaker and he felt that he had been oversold, but appreciated the kind words of Fred Clift. He said the first night in 1964 when he had spoken in Bayfield he felt the need to preach the importance of local history and that he tried to tailor make the talk to suit the people in the audience. .Dr. Talman spoke on The Importance of Railways, and said as far as Bayfield was concerned it was completely negative. The reason Bayfield is thegood place it is today is that the railway didn't come here, he stated. It was the railway that changed the whole pictpre of life in Upper Canada. Villages vanished because railways went past by four or five miles to the east pr west of them, Railways altered the development of communities in the province. Bayfield was a happy place and continued so despite the absence of railways and as a result has outlived the railway age. He continued saying railways were im- portant in opening of the railway toGoderich in 1858, and that people suddenly became railway conscious; one minute it wasn't there and the next minute it was. Railways were - most im- portant, said Dr. Talman, not only the economic impact but the social impact as well. He spoke of the visiting firemen coming from one town to another for their conventions. Bayfield - what did people in Bayfield do after the railway came. An 1870 timetable showed that the train left Goderich at 6:30 a.m. and arrived in Stratford at 8:15. From Bayfield you could go to Goderich, Clinton or Dublin to catch a train (no mention was made of Seaforth although the train did go through there). After 1858, people suddenly were able to leave their com- munities, isolation had ended. He spoke on census records which are available for 1851- 1861 and 1871 which didn't come under the present Census Act which are confidential. He found the census sheets for Bayfield for 1861 and had the 8 page copied and presented them to the Society. Apparently the census taker didn't know what Being built meant, so he wrote in the date that the house was . built. So in 1861 a record of the Village exists with -everybody in the Village (367) names with the kind of house he was in and the year that it was built. In closing, Professor Talman said that ten years ago when he had 'spoken in Bayfield he had said that local history is im- portant, last week he stressed that it was more important than ever. Brig. G.L. Morgan Smith then thanked Dr. Talman, and the group heartily applauded. During the business period it was noted that there will be a bus tour to Elora on June 25 leaving Clinton at 9:30 a.m. and the cost is $3.50; that two members of the Bayfield Society will attend the Ont. Historical Society meeting in t, Thunder Bay from June 20 to 22. Mrs. Joe Mayman, Mrs. Ernie Hovey, Mrs. G.L. Knight and Mrs. LeRoy Poth assisted Mrs. Fred Clift with a very delicious lunch. ° The "Hay Day of the Summer Cottage" from,.1910 will be the theme for the next meeting on July 14. UCW hears of Hoi Land The regular meeting of Unit one UCW of St. Andrew's United Church was held at the home of Mrs. Elva Metcalf on Thursday May 5 at 2 p.m. There were 23 members and two guests present, Mrs. Esther Brady and Mrs: Mina Talbot. Mrs. Nina Haw—opened the meeting -with a prayer and Mrs. Lulu Smith read the scripture message. Mrs. Haw then introduced the - speaker, Mrs. Mina Talbot. She spoke on. her visit to the Holy Land and made the Bible and its stories come to life as she talked about the beautiful and fascinating places she had visited. Mrs. Elva Cox thanked the speaker and Mrs. Haw presented her with a gift in token of appreciation. Mrs. Jean Greer presided over the business part of the meeting. Following the reading of last month's minutes, Mrs. Vivian Morton read from the minutes which Mrs. Margaret Scotchmer had written over 25 years ago. These minutes are to go into the church archives; an interesting glimpse into the past. The members -_are looking forward to a busy summer - on July 1, the Annual Chicken Barbecue; a talk on quilts and a quilt show by Mrs. Don Lance --ir the Old Town Hall; and Bake Sale and Church Auction in August. The luncheon committee, Mrs. Jean Greer, Mrs. Evelyn Greer and Mrs. Margaret Scotchmer served delicious sandwiches, tarts and cookies which everyone enjoyed. Mrs. Kathleen Siertsema thanked Mrs. Metcalf land the hostesses and closed the meeting with Prayer.
