The Bayfield Harbour, from Lake'. Huron to Highway 21, Is being dredged. The project will take four to five weeks. McNamara Marine Company Ltd. of Whitby was awarded the contract for 499,000 by the federal department of public works. The dredging began due to complaints from fishermen and pleasure boaters about touching bottom in the river mouth area. In places, silt has reduced the river depth to little more than three feet. Dredging will increase it to a depth of more than eight feet. A crew of about 15 men, two tugboats and a mobile dredging platform, are doing the work. Village Reeve, Ed Oddleifson said Bayfield was unaware of the dredging work but had succeeded in getting some of the dredged gravel to spread on village roads as part of the village's road improvement program.

Redmen bring home football title Last Saturday, Central Huron's Senior Redmen were able to bring home the Huron -Perth football title, the first time in 18 years. This win is not surprising to many since the CHSS boys have remained undefeated all season, recording one shutout in that time. During the first quarter, last Saturday in Stratford, things didn't look very good for the Redmen though, as they gave the South Huron Panthers two touchdowns. Both of these touchdowns were scored because of Redmen mistakes. Steve Knight returned a punt 65 yards for the first Panther touchdown and Doug Mclsaac scored the second one on a two -yard run, after setting up the play originally with a 60 yard run. The Red nen then started to recover as they scored one touchdown of their own. RobinMcAdam passed into the end zone from 10 yards out to Perry Jutzi.
