the
BAYFIELD By Milvena �bugle
Bayfield garage is sold
The Bayfield Garage,
continuously operating for
the past 50 years, has
recently changed ownership.
Reginald Francis has sold his
business to Bill McIlwain.
Situated on the west side of
Highway 21 a block south of
Clan Gregor Square, the
garage was built on property
purchased from Walter
Westlake and the late Alf
Westlake by Mrs. Stott for her
adopted son Oliver '`Goldie"
Goldthorpe. Weston Brothers
of Bayfield erected the
building in the late 1920's,
about 1928.
Goldie operated the garage
and service station until -prior
to his death when a man
named "Dubbie" Webb
managed it for a short time
for Goldie.
In the early spring 1940,
Claude Gelinas of Zurich was
approached by Supertest
Petroleum Products to lease
the business. This he did and
operated it for a year, when
Doug Gemeinhardt of
Bayfield took over its
operation. He remained in
business until the spring of
1946. Early in 1946, Supertest,
who has been leasing the
establishment, purchased it
from Mrs. Goldthorpe
(Goldie widow).
In 1946, Reg Francis and
Grant Turner, who had
become acquainted while
serving in the armed forces in
Halifax; Reg with the
RCEME. and Grant with the
RCAME; leased from
Supertest and continued the
operation until dissolving
their partnership in early
1960. Reg continued on in the
garage and in April 1960 Bill
Mcllwain became an em-
ployee.
• After 18 years he has
purchased the business upon
the retirement of Reg
Francis, who sometime
during the 1960's made the
purchase from Supertest.
More recently it has been
known as Bayfield B.P.
Garage because of British
Petroleum's . purchase of
Supertest interests.
To the north of the garage
was situated a log cabin
which was known as Log
Cabin Lunch and which had
been, built as a lunch room.
Over the years it was leased
and operated as such by a
few Villagers including Mrs.
Edith (Grant) Turner and
Mrs. Lulu (Byrd) Sturgeon.
During the time that Doug
Gemeinhardt ran the
operation, it was occupied by
his family as a residence.
The late Jack Fraser
purchased the Log Cabin and
in turn sold it to Dr.
McMaster from Seaforth,
who had it moved to his
property and used it as a
summer cottage. It was
subsequently purchased by
Rev. William M. Bennett, the
present Rector of Trinity
Anglican Church on Sep-
tember 1, 1954, and is now
incorporated into their
permanent home on Tuyll St.
South.
Bill Mcllwain, the son of the
late Robert and Ann
(Harrison) Mcllwain was
born and raised north of
Bayfield on Highway 21, and
as an honest business man
and farmer, is well known in
the area. He is married to the
former Madelon Cox of
Goderich township. The
couple has two children,
Donald married and living in
the Village and Joyce who
attends Central Huron
Secondary School in Clinton.
We extend all the best to
Bill and wish him every
success in his venture.
Always a considerate and
honest merchant, faithful
worker and avid supporter of
organizations in the Village,
our very best wishes for a
happy and healthy retirement
go out to Reg Francis, who is
still seen almost daily at the
garage, a habit we suspect he
has acquired over the past 32
years.
Reg and his wife Evelyn
will continue to reside in
Bayfield in their home on
Highway 21.
Anglicans celebrate communion
Rev. William Bennett
celebrated Holy Communion,
Sunday morning in Trinity
Anglican Church. He was
assisted by server Andrew
Erickson.
During the Communion
Service, Rev. Bennett
dedicated six Prayer Books.
Two from Dick and Ruth
Moore in memory of Tammy
Archer; two from Catherine
Cluff, Cindy and Colleen in
memory of her husband and
the girls' father, William H.
Cluff, and two from Milvena
Erickson in memory of her
cousin, H. Newton Sturgeon.
Robert Scott and Morgan
Smith received the offering
and Jeanne Bennett and
Cindy Cluff taught Sunday
school. Lillian Higgins read
the Epistle for the First
Sunday in Lent dealing with
the proofs of St. Paul's Faith-
fulness.
The topic for Rev. Ben-
nett's sermon was "Self-
discipline" ; and he suggested
that now is the time to find
your Bibles; dust them off
and read, mark, learn and
inwardly digest what is
written.
Facts indicate that Lent is
not what it used to be. Christ
found ignorance, super-
stition, disease in the world of
his time. So do we! He gave
Himself completely and
utterly to serve the common
interest of everyone in the
world. So should we! Indeed --
that is what the gospel calls
upon us to do. Lent is im-
portant. It must, each year,
give the energy and faith to
carry out what is clearly
God's purpose at a point in
human history which 'is
crucial for all men
everywhere.
The Rector announced that
next Sunday marks the 70th
Anniversary of the Founding
of the Scouting movement by
Lord Baden Powell and in
keeping with Boy Scout and
Girl Guiding week (Feb. 19 to

Sometimes atter contract
negotiations have ended and an
agreement has been signed, there m,l\
he issues that have lett a had taste for
both management'and labour.
Positions i»ay harden and these
issues may become
barriers in the next
round tot negotiation..
A monitoring;
system alerts the
Service to the
need tor earl\
involvement of .a mediator in tial,
kind of situation. The medl,littr
contact, the parties and explores the
ptt,,ibilit\ of discussions before the
