childhood memories of
Bayfield.

the time; had not ,been

that they were in a rack
where she kept bills. She still

which she was searching.
Memories of Mabel
Wallace
"School's out for the
summer, vacation, the last
week of June and plans are
being made for a vacation to
Bayfield starting. the middle
of July. These vacations take
Ann and myself back 77 and
78 years ago and many, many
times we have re -lived these
days as the years have passed
on.
"There was much to do and
the days passed quickly, then
the big day came for us to
leave home for Grandma's
place. Our dad was a train-
man on the GTR at the time
and we went with him on "his
train" from the Union Depot
in Toronto. His run was from
Toronto to Sarnia and we
travelled as far as Lucan
Crossing with him, where we
had to change for the
Brucefield train.
"There were about 20 steps
to climb to reach this train
and we were afraid the train
would leave before we
reached the top step, however
dad came up so far with us
and the trainman came down
to. help so we had time,to
wave good-bye to Dad and get
on the train.
"At. Brucefield we were
met with a stage that made
daily trips from Bayfield to
Brucefield, the driver Mr.
McGee carried mai'.,
passengers and freight. He
was always so nice to us and
we did enjoy the ride in the
stage.
"On one trip there was a
passenger Mr. Peck, he rode
up front with the driver. We
passed several fields of peas
and Mr. McGee said, "Pull
some of those peas, perhaps
the girls would like some
fresh from the field."
"I don't think peas were
ever so delicious as those and
we were really a pair of dirty,
dusty girls, tired and happy.
We would soon be at Gran-
dma's where we could have a
bath in the old wooden wash
tub, have some good
homemade bread, butter and
jam.
"Grandma's home was on
the Sable Line or Highway 21,
on the property where the
Bavarian Restaurant now
stands, which was built in the
centre of the orchard and
about 100 feet from the high-
way. It contained five rooms
and a summer kitchen and a
small upstairs.
"There was a purple grape
vine growing over the front of
the house and an arbor °with
blue and green grapes on the
north side of the house. This
arbor was also a lovely play
house for us.
"On the south side was an
orchard of small fruits and
cherry picking was in full
swing when we got to
Grandma's. A ladder was at a
tree and it didn't takeAong
before I was up there with the
birds eating cherries. We
usually ate more than we
picked, however while getting
into the tree my nightie got
caught. I couldn't get up or
down, my gown held fast and
a small little naked body was
exposed to the early morning
breezes until I was taken
down by my step Grandfather

the number one scolding of
my vacation. There was more

"Ran, as we always spoke
of Grandma's husband,. was
the nicest, kindest person,
always ready to.,help us, take
us and play. Whatever the
need was, he was there. Oh
how we loved him. He spoiled
us catering to every fancy
and whim we thought of.
"There was such a deep
and lasting affection for
Grandma and Ran.They were
so dear to us all, through their
lives and as the years have
passed we still speak of them
and often wonder how they
were so kind and considerate
to all the things we got into.
"Of course we had some
chores to do like picking
chips, carrying in wood to fill
the wood ' boxes and
sometimes make piles of
wood for the winter. We
pumped water into little pails
and carried it into the house
to fill larger water pails so as
Grandma would always have
water. We liked to go out to
the garden and get fresh
vegetables and flowers,
especially a large fluffy
poppy that grew so abun-
dantly in the garden.
"There was a cow, horse,
pigs, a lamb, chickens, geese,
ducks and turkeys at
Grandma's and each had
their own place to stay. It was
exciting to hear the hens
cackle after laying their eggs.
"One hen used to lay in the
pig house and she would sure
make a big fuss everytime.
One day Mother and Gran-
dma were in the back woods
and pasture field picking
raspberries and this hen
made her fuss very strongly.
I got the egg and carried it
way back to where the folks
were berry picking to show
them the egg that the pig laid.
You may be sure that I didn't
live that down for a long, long
time."

Gun Control.
Working together to save lives.
The majority of Canadian gun owners
have traditionally supported gun control in
Canada.
Many of these people are sports
hunters, target shooters or collectors, and
others use their guns to hunt or trap in order
to support their families. Generally, they are
Canada's responsible gun users.
There is a small but growing group of
people in,Canada, however, who make
criminal use of guns. For example, armed
robberies increased 38% from 1974 to 1976. it
is this group that the new gun control
legislation will deal with through longer,
mandatory prison sentences and prohibition
powers.
The misuse of guns is increasing as
well. Last year appn)ximately 300 people
were %ictims of homicide with a gun. Many in
an impulsive moment of violence among
fancily members or friends. New
court-ordered prohibitions, police search and
seizure powers, and higher gun safety
standards will reduce, the needless toll of
deaths and injuries.
With the continued support of
Canadians for gun control, we will reduce the
criminal and irresponsible use of guns.
In short, Heil he working together to
sale li' es.
"1 own my own guns. How does the new Gun
Control legislation affect me?"
If you own only hunting rifles and you
store them safely, it won't ;effect you at all.
However. certain other guns will be either
restricted or prohibited. I3asically, all
centre -fire semi -automatics with a barrel
length of less than I8''2" are.now restricted
and must be registered. handguns have
been restricted since 1934. Sawed-off rifles
and shotguns. guns with silencers and fully
automatic weapons. are now prohibited.
except those fully automatics registered to
collectors before January 1. 1978.
"I'm glad you're getting tougher
witkcriminals using firearms.
What happens to them?"
Anyone convicted of using a firearm
while committing or attempting to commit a
criminal offense will be sent to prison for not
less than one year and not more than 14
years. This sentence cannot be suspended.
As well, maximum prison sentences for
other firearm offences have been doubled.
. "is it true that police officers have new,
extended search and seizure powers?"
Yes. Police officers can now seize
firearms without a search warrant if they
consider them hazardous to the immediate
safety of any individual. They will then have
to justify the grounds for the searcjt to a
magistrate.
"i now own a'prohibited weapon.
What do 1 do?"
It is against the law to he in possession
of a prohibited weapon. You should contact
your local police as soon as possible in order
to turn the weapon over to them or to make
other arrangements for its disposal. Failure
to do so could result in your being
prosecuted.
"What does safe handling and storage of guns
have to do with Gun Control?"
Last year in Canada. there were over
120 accidental deaths due to the careless use
of firearms. Under the new legislation. gun
owners are responsible for the safe storage
of their weapons. For example. if your gun
is used in a criminal action, you could tie
charged with careless storage if such is
decided in court.
"My rifle is now on the restricted list.
How do I register it?" <;
Contact your local police immediately
and register the gun with them. Failure to do
so is punishable by a prison sentence of up
to five years.
"How do you plan on keeping guns
out of the hands of people who aren't able
to use them safely?"
Through Firearms Acquisition
Certificates and the courts' prohibition
powers. The provincially administered
F. A.C. system will come into effect January
1. 1979. It is designedio prevent unfit and
incompetent persons from acquiring guns.
The new prohibition p6wer allows the
courts to take guns away from dangerous
persons.
"Vkhy is Gun Control so important?"
Ultimately. to make Canadians safer
from the misuse of firearms. Lest ear ,clone
over 1.400 people were killed guns.
Through tighter firearms control.
