Doris Hunter.
Harry Baker, president of
the Ever Young Senior
Citizens Club reported to the
meeting regarding the intent
to endeavour to refurbish the
Old Town Hall and Doris
Hunter president of the
Bayfield Architectural
Conservancy Advisory
Committee reported on the
committees activities to date.
Kay Reid, the Society
secretary, gave a full report
on the year's activities and
Dorothy Cox, archivist spoke
on the developing and care of
the new archives room at the
library. She told of her visit in
company with Alva Metcalf
and Kay Reid, to the
University of Western
Ontario in London and the
invaluable advice and
assistance received from Dr.
Phelps, head of the Regional
Archives and Mrs. Beth
Miller in the Special
Collections Dept.
From contacts and con-
sultations with
knowledgeable persons, Miss
Cox came to the following
conclusions: nothing should
be done in a hurry, the ar-
chives have been made and
collected over many years,
and if carefully handled
should last a long time; as
few persons as possible
should handle materials; the
archives committee should be
as small as possible, pencils
only should be used to mark
on materials.
Miss Cox expressed
respect and appreciation to
the tremendous amount of
work done by the former
archivist, Ethel Poth, and
mentioned the great deal of
material and the well -
organized list prepared by
Mrs. Poth.
Brigadier G. L. Morgan
Smith gave an interesting and
historical paper on the
Memorial Cairn in the centre
of Clan Gregor Square. The
cairn was erected in 1933 and
dedicated on July 26 by the
Rev. F. 14. Paull. The joint
ceremony was probably a
landmark in the ecumenical
fellowship of congregations of
the Village and it has been
followed by an Annual
Armistice Day Service after
consultation' among all
churches.
The United Church
minister Rev. R. M. Gale
gave the prayer and Mr.
Gordon Peddie, president of
the Legion read the lesson.
Major, the Rev. Canon E.
Appleyard gave the address.
He was the father of Bishop
Appleyard who is the current
Bishop of the Armed Forces.
The Appleyard family were
loyal soldiers and a brother of
the Bishop served with
Morgan Smith in Germany as
Chief of Medicine in seventh
Canadian General Hospital.
Mrs. Currie and Mrs. Toms
unveiled the tablet and the
names of Harvey Currie and
Wilfred Toms are on the
plaque.
Canon Paull of Bayfield had
served in the 4th Canadian
Mounted Rifles. He left
Trinity College in :1916 and
was overseas from 1917 to the
end of the war. His regiment
was attacked by mustard gas
in 1917. After a period in
hospital, he was the only
officer in the batallion to
return to the front in 1918. He
completed his studies at
Trinity after the.,war. There
he was Head of College and
met his future wife Ethel,
who was head of St. Hilda's.
Canon Paull was appointed
Rector of Trinity Church,
Bayfield and was the leader
of a group of ex -servicemen
to construct a war memorial.
These included Walter
Westlake, Punch Toms and
Hugh McKay and they
gathered a huge pile of field
stone. The capable hands of
George Weston molded the
pile into the simple and lovely
cairn we have today. The
plaque was already placed in
the Town Hall on the right
hand side of the stage and
bears these names: Harvey
Currie, Kenneth Currie,
Wilfred Toms. Robert

Today you can order almost anything

Most mail order organizations are
honest, but a small percentage are not
—and give the entire industry a bad
name. So before you deal with a mail
order lisiness, ask yourself:
• What does the offer really promise?
• Is the advertising actually informative?'
• Db I know this company's reputation?
• Do I really need the article?
• Could I purchase the same article
at a lower price Focally?
• Can I pay c.o.d. ? (cash oh delivery)
i Is there a money -back guarantee?
Mail order gimmicks to guard
against, along with a checklist to help
you avoid problems when ordering

Baptist church news
By Sandra Talbot
Pastor Bodenham began
Morning Service reminding
us that these are days when
we should stay close to the
Scripture. Galatians 5, Verse
1."Stand fast therefore in the
liberty wherewith Christ hath
made us free, and be not
entangled again with the yoke
of bondage."
The message was taken
from Ephesians Chapter 1
verses 1-14. In Verse 5,
"Having predestinated us
untq the adoption of children
by Jesus Christ to himself,
according to the good
pleasure of his will" the word
Adoption means God has
planned a definite goal for the
believer, Predestinated
means God will make that
goal a sure thing.
Although we are born in sin,
there is room at the Cross.
"Whosoever will, may
come". Closing hymn was
"Blessed Assurance".
