Ladies Auxiliary
sets bake sale
The Ladies Auxiliary to the
Brownies, Cubs and Scouts,
met Wednesday evening in
the Municipal Building. The
L.A. ismade up of the
,mothers of those children in
the organizations and in-
terested women in -the
community. Mrs. Jean Dunn,
president of the association
presided.
Secretary Mrs. Pat Van
Patter read the minutes of the
'previous meeting and Mrs
Elaine Dunn gave the
treasurer's report. The
members decided to hold a
Bake Sale on Saturday, July 2
in the Arena at 1:30 p.m. in
conjunction with the Arts acid
Crafts Show. It was decided
that each mother would be
asked to bake two articles for
the Bake Sale. Funds are
raised in this way to purchase
scarves, leaders uniforms,
send leaders to workshops,
provide lunch for various
functions during the season
and provide necessities that
they require. It was also
decided that each mother
bring- along some of her
favourite recipes to the next
L.A. meeting on Wednesday,
April 20 at 6:30 p.m. for a
recipe exchange. These
recipes to cost 10 cents each.
Mrs. - Dunn had baked a
delicious coffee cake topped
with red and green glaced
cherries and tickets were sold
for 10 cents each. Milvena
Erickson was the lucky ticket
holder.
Mothers of Cubs, Scouts
and Brownies, PLEASE
come out and support your
.L.A. You are the people that
make it possible to operate
these organizations. The
leaders give of their time
.faithfully each week, so let's
have the co-operation of the
mothers at these meetings.
Remember it's for your
children's benefit....mem-
bership is only $2 a year and if
you consider the price of
child -sitting these days, it's
very reasonable.

Anglican Church news
Dr. G. H. Shepherd was the when he helped make
speaker at the Sunday
morning service in Trinity
Anglican Church, and , he
spoke of the effect that the
calendar has on our lives. He
told .how the calendar was
...established and how that
Julius Ceasar influenced the
calendar we use today. He
• told the names of the days of
the week and the months of
the year and the Latin
derivatives and the anglo-
saxon input for each.
He told of how St. Valen-
tines Day was established
and how much it had meant to
him as a young person. He
said it was one of the most
exciting times of the year
valentines to give away and
all the preparation that went
into making it such a
memorable day for him. He
also said he was' very upset,
because, like so many once
enjoyable days, it too has
become so commercialized,
that most of the original
meaning has been lost.
Eric Earl, choir director
chanted the service and Mr.
Philip Du Boulay was in
charge. It was announced
that an Old Fashioned Hymn
Sing will be held on Sunday
morning February 27 (not
February 20th as previously
reported.'
Lioness hear of wills
The February Lioness
dinner meeting was held in
the Community Centre.
Lioness Jan Simons in-
troduced the guest speaker,
Lawyer Gerry Hiltz, who
spoke on wills and property
ownership. Lioness Joan
Merner thanked Gerry for his
informative discussion.
Membership pins were
presented to the past
executive. As - a means of
raising funds,' future plans for
a winter fun carnival were
discussed.
The Club decided to buy'
more tables for the Com-
munity Centre and to have
the old ones repaired.
Lioness canvassers will be
calling on Bayfield residents
for. the Heart Fund this
month. Before the meeting
adjourned, a motion was
made to donate $25 to each
youth group in town.
Because the ice at Bayfield goes out some 20 miles, it looks like a long time yet before the
sail boats will bring life back to the Village's harbour. This picture was taken from
Pioneer Park overlooking the piers. (photo by Milvena Erickson)
Villagesociai, personal notes
Village to takeover fire
brigade tobuynewpumper
At the •regular meeting of
Bayfield Council last Monday
evening, John McConkey was
present at - the request of
council to update the village's
insurance Coverage on
buildings, equipment,
liability, etc.
Pat Graham was also
present and on behalf of the
Bayfield Volunteer Fire
Department asked the
Village to take over the
department as a municipally
operated organization.
He said it was the intention
of the members of the B.F.D.
to turn over the equipment to
the Village, and asked that
serious consideration be
given to the purchase of . a
pumper. The municipal take-
over would not in any way
change the excellent service
already established by the, 20.
volunteers, but could reduce
fire insurance rates because
of a mutual aid agreement
with surrounding
municipalities.
Preliminary arrangements
were made to provide a
pumper for the department.
This take-over proposal by
the firemen was presented to
the council early in 1976 and
has been discussed in great
detail since that time. The
village felt that regardless of
the cost of a new pumper, it
could not morally jeopardize
fire protection for the
residents of the village and
those depending on the ser-
vice. ' .
In other business, it was
learned that the rates for
street lighting would be in-
creased by Ontario Hydro
again this year, and a letter
from the M.T.C. advised that
supplernentary allocation for
subsidy be applied for as soon
as possible.
Council received an in-
vitation from the Natural
Resources to attend , a
meeting at the Ausable-
Bayfield Conservation
Authority office in Exeter on
February -25.. with Flood
Warning Systems as the
theme.,

Shrove Tuesday
We 'had a call from Bill
Steckle on the Bronson Line
last week, telling us of the
Annual Shrove Tuesday
Pancake Supper to be held in
the Retreat Centre in Grand
Bend on February 22.
It brought to mind the same
evening ,last year when we
had attended the supper and
driving home watched the ice
firming on wires, fences,
trees, shrubs, etc. and for the
next week our household, like
many others was without
hydro. (Shrove Tuesday last
year was on March 2).

to Nom
Gillespie, her husband and
family in California. They
were among the -multitude of
people we saw , on our
televisions, who sat and
watched the parade at
Pasadena on New Years Day,
The day there was beautiful
with sun shining all day long.
The floats were all wonderful
to see but the ones from
Canada were of special in-
terest and the Merners were
happy to add their ` `1-lurrah
for Canada" as they passed
by. Mr, Merner took many
pictures that will be of in-
terestwhen developed.
Mr. and Mrs. Merner
visited another daughter in
Cincinnati and attended the
wedding of a granddaughter
on the 15th of January.
Weather there closed,schools
and places of business during
some of their storms leaving
plenty of ice and snow so they
were able to sympathize with
those of us at home having
the same kind of weather.
Mr. and`Mrs:-Merner spent
some time with ' another
daughter, her husband and
family in Washington and had
an enjoyable visit with all.
Their trip was a very
pleasant one, but they do
confess' that Bayfield looked
good to them when they
arrived back home.
Mr. and Mrs. Don Camp-
bell, who have spent an en-
joyable holiday in Florida,
arrived back as far as Grand
Bend on Sunday but on ac-
count of the storm and_
drifting roads they remained
with friends until the weather
permitted them to arrive
home later. Mr. and Mrs.
Hendrick accompanied the
Campbells to Ft. Lauderdale.
Many of our friends in the
community '.are still in
Florida and other places on
vacation and now are plan-
ning on leaving shortly.
Mr. Peter MacVean,
Guelph and Mr. Robbie
MacVean were with their
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert
MacVean on the weekend.
We regeet that Mrs. Agnes
Cameron, who has' resided
with her daughter, Barbara
and Mr. MacVean this winter,
is not enjoying the best of
health.
Mr. and Mrs. David Dewar
of. Don •M,ills were visitors
over the weekend, with the
former's sister, Mrs. Elva
Metcalf.
Mr. and Mrs. John Pounder, ,
and children, London,, were
with. the , former's parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Jack Pounder
on the weekend.
Mrs. Sylvia Smale,
Darlene, John and Laura of
London spent the weekend
with the former's parents,
.,Mr. and Mrs. Roy Fitz-
simmons. - We are pleased to report
that Mrs. Lloyd Westlake,
who spent a few days in the
Clinton Hospital, is now able
to be home again.
Miss Catharine Westlake of
Toronto, daughter of Mr. and -
Mrs. Lloyd Westlake was
home on the weekend and
started back to the city on
Sunday. As the weather was
not the best, her father, ac-
companied by Grant Turner,
drove their car as far as St.
Columban to check on driving
conditions. A11 were obliged
to return to the village.
Another attempt was made
Monday morning, hopefully
with success.
