Early in the 1960's, due to poor health, Lucy stopped writing as the Bayfield, correspondent for. the Clinton News -Record, and began writing her column, "Rambling With Lucy".. "The way 'Rambling With Lucy' actually started was, one week I had absolutely no personals. No one from Bayfield had phoned me to tell me some news. Well I had to have something, so. 1 just started . doodling away, writing -what came to mind. That's how Taro -tiling With Lucy' was born," she said. Lucy was born in "The Hut," whichshe frequently mentions in "Rambling With Lucy", the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. N.W. Woods. In 1907, Lucy and her family moved from "The Hut". Lucy moved back in 1946..She and a housekeeper still live there today. The front of "The Hut" dates back to 1836, where it was the first Public School in Bayfield.

If economics in 1976 in- dicate a desirability of supply restraint on the part of dairymen, then dairymen should cull rigorously even at the depressed beef prices. The pass word on dairy farms in 1976 may well be - cull the poor cows and better feed the good cows. 3r E. Beecher Menzies, Q.C.
