Bayfielders see east coast
Mr. and Mrs. J.B.
Higgins returned home
last week from a 3,055
mile tour to the East.
coast.
They travelled by
Charterways Bus in
super comfort and were
able to see many of the
out-of-the-way places.
They noted that both
Canada and the USA are
pushing tourism and just
couldn't do enough for the
travellers.
Some of the highlights
of their tour included the
Historical Fort
Louisburg, Citadel at
Halifax, Bluenose Clipper
Ship ,and the oldest
Anglican Church in
Canada built in 1749. The,
Halifax tour was
arranged by their
Chamber of Commerce
w,ho sent a very
knowledgeable and
charming guide to
narrate for them. A
special highlight was a
101/2 -hour cruise on the
M.S. Caribe from Yar-
mouth, Nova Scotia to
Portland Maine. The sun
shone and the ocean was
calm, a perfect day.
The Higgins noted that
Miniature golf course opened
Yogi Bear (Barb Sturgeon) and Clinton golf pro
Derek Divok, together open the new mini -golf
course at Jellystone Park last Saturday.
Special guests were on
hand Saturday afternoon
to open the H and R
miniature Golf Course at
Jellystone Park.
The day started off with
that tantalizing fellow,
Yogi Bear (Barb
Sturgeon) who was given
a tour of Bayfield. The
tour was a success until
Yogi spotted a picnic
basket in the window of
Graham's General Store.
To everyone's surprise
Yogi ran into the store
'and emerged with the
picnic basket in his hand,
only to be followed by Pat
Graham in hot pursuit.
After loosing the picnic
basket to Mr. Graham,
Yogi headed for
Jellystone Pa'tk for the
grand opening of H and R
Mini golf where he met
the special guest Derek
Divok the golf pro at
Bluewater (Jolt Course.
Derek and Yogi played
a round of 18 holes of golf
while hundreds of
spectators watched and
cheered, to officially open
the Course.
(Warning to the
residents of Bayfield:
"guard your picnic
baskets as that rascal of a
Yogi will he around most
of the summer and will
try any means to steal
them."'
the vegetation in the east
was lush and green and it
is mountainous country
-with the mountains not as
high and austere as the
Rockies and one felt
closer to them.
It is a land of many
bridges and they had the
pleasure of passing
through Bayfield,NB. A11
along the highway they
saw coloured lupins
growing in profusion in a
wild state and were very
beautiful. They remarked
that Peggy's Cove is of
picture post card beauty
and a 'gorgeous sight.
They clambered onto
rocks and said •that one
formation resembled a
whale. They did,
however, miss seeing the
cows and wondered what
the folks used for milk.,

The anniversary dinner

"Timbercove" the
McAlister's residence. •
Radiating health and
happiness, the Judge and
Mrs. McAlister both wore
their more than eighty
years with ease. 1 -ler
ivory dress had a lace
yoke and corsage
fashioned of wildflowers.
Quiche Lorraine com-
plimented by garden
salad was provided for
the guests and everyone
enjoyed fresh
strawberries, ice cream
and a commemorative
cake for dessert. A short
speech by Rev. Alfred
McAlister set the tone for
the day.
The McAlister's of
London and Bayfield
were married during
wartime in Aylmer, Ont.

According to John
Siertsema, chairman of

in a ceremony performed
by the groom's father.
After the 1918 wedding,
the young couple started
on a full life of public
service and recognition.
Judge McAlister had a
wartime job in Ottawa
and then practised law in
London, later becoming a
magistrate and Queen's
Counsel. He served as
international president of
the Kiwanis Club in 1942
and was Mayor of London
in 1946. 'He was chairman
of that city's board of
education and father of

Africa.
In the 60 years the
McAlisters have beery
married, great and small
events have changed the
world around them, "We
had a bare cliff in front of
our house when it was
built in 1941," Mrs.
McAlister reminisced. As
the trees grew up around
them so did the family,
"To think that it all
started with just the two
of us" she marvelled,
looking • around at the
crowd of kinfolk.
It all began 75 years
ago on a lonely skating
pond in Aylmer. A little
girl who had forgotten
her button hook couldn't
do up her high buttoned
shoes to walk home at
dusk in the snow. The
little boy who found her
crying and took her to his
house to borrow a button
hook later became her
husband, and the button
hook story is a favourite
in their family to this day.
