Son Neil Bennett of London sang Mrs. Beatrice O'Donnellof Down- patrick, Ireland will shortly return to her home after having spent the past month as the guest of her sister and brother-in-law Vera and George Gregg.

Ms. Lola Moore who is presently in Toronto, but hails from Mrs. O'Donnell's hometown. She too ex- pressed enjoyment in visiting Bayfield; the many lovely pleasure craft in the harbour and beautiful Lake Huron. It was indeed a pleasure to have had these lovely ladies in our midst.

Attend outdoor service Many from the Village attended the 7th Annual Galilean Service Sunday mornirg in Stewart Middleton's Park. All expressed their deep appreciation to Stewart for his sincere kindness in offering his beautiful setting by the lake for the Service (If you read the Middleton News by Blanche Deeves you will find the full account, of the Service there.) Heritage plan discussed A group of business people met with Mrs. Hunter, chairman of the Bayfield Architectural Conservancy Advisory Committee, and Nicholas Hill, architect, to discuss the „ Heritage District Plan for Main Street and Clan Gregor Square as it has been proposed by Mr. Hill. Regret was expressed that many of those with questions on the plan were not in attendance. It was stated that the Village Council is the authority and makes a decision whether, to send this plant to the Ontario Municipal Board as an amendment , to the already established Secondary •Plan for the Village of Bayfield. When the Plan is sent it would be well documented and both arguments pro and con would be stated. Mr. Hill told the meeting that he has presented some ten heritage conservation plans. Procedure is to hold public hearings where support for the plan and opposition to it both are brought for- ward. Particular issues are then brought to Council. If the plan is approved despite dissent, hearings by the Ontario Municipal Board may be scheduled. These hearings may be instituted by groups or individuals. Mrs. Hunter explained that a petition had been presented to council requesting the activation of the L.A.C.A.C. which was appointed in 1977 at the request of many in- dividuals. Four of the business people on the Main Street were invited to sit on the committee but did not do so to the regret of all. She also noted that the bulk of the residents of the area appear to be in favour of the plan, with some alterations, and that the merchants not in favour form only a small part of the village. It was also noted that zoning places limitations on everyone, but without the zoning by-laws, any kind of business could open its doors throughout the village, creating general havoc. . during the ceremony and accompanied himself on the guitar. He also compared and sang a special song for the oc- casion. The couple's attendants were their eldest gran- dchildren; Erin Bennett of London and Patrick Sharp of Oakville. The Bennett's family, with the exception of William of Perth, Australia, were all in attendance, and included Dr. Michael of London, Kerry, Oakville; Rev. Robert, Chesley; Sally of London and Neil, London. The couple are also the proud grandparents of 10 grandchildren. Also attending the an- niversary celebration was Mrs. Bennett's sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Burcher and niece Mary of Toronto and Rev. Ben- nett's sister and brother- in-law Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hill and nephew and niece, Mr. and Mrs. David Hill.of London. The couple are ex- tended congratulations on this special occasion and a sincere wish for many more years of health and happiness together. Rev.

(photo by Milvena Erickson) The Lambton Youth Theatre is coming , to Bayfield. On Sunday, August 20 at 3 p.m. they will perform their highly successful productions of The Beast in the Bag and Wild West Circus, two one -act Canadian, children's participatory plays written by Isabelle Foord for children of all ages at Pioneer Park. And for family en- tertainment on Saturday August 19 at 7 p.m. also at Pioneer Park The Lambton Youth Theatre will present Gaslight Gaieties, an hour and a half Gay Nineties 3ariety show, an extravaganza of nostalgic recitations, travesties, comical skits and old-fashioned mellerdrammers. The Beast in the Bag and Wild West Circus are intended as an ex- perience of live theatre for children and as such are structured with the characters and their story in mind. Par- ticipation is integrated in that the action of the plays could not continue if the audience did not help the characters at key moments. At such moments, improvisation is required of the characters and of the audience. The structure of the play controls these moments and at other times, participation should neither be sought nor encouraged other than through normal sympathetic contact between actor and audience. While links with' educational concepts in creative drama are inherent, The Beast In The Bag and Wild West Circus are not intended as opportunities for spontaneous, un- controlled creative drama activities to develop, which are best encouraged after the plays have ended. Nevertheless, centre staging, fluid action and participation relate directly to the kind of creative drama en- couraged with elemen- tary age group children Turn to page 11 Come and enjoy a delightful meal in our pleasant old country dining lounge.

Mrs. Dick explained the concern of the merchants was that restrictions placed on their properties might be especially felt at the time of selling. Mr. Hill replied that a yearly evaluation of this plan is intended and that public hearings are most essential. This is clearly stated' on page 30 of the Plan under the heading "public partici tion." Mrs. Dick presented the fears of the absent members, summing them up as basically: 1. the values of their properties; and 2. the cost of restoration. Mr. Hill stated that most of the properties designated have obvious value for maintenance. Others need not change now, but could be changed in the future. Mr. Rogers asked whether Bylaw V11 as drafted exceeds the Heritage Act and Mr. Hill promised to research the relationship of the Heritage Act and the Planning Act. Mr. Lance mentioned that conservation is a national movement, not restricted to Bayfield, economically it has proved the redemption of many villages where restoration has become contagious. The meeting closed with a plan to release the plan to the rest of the residents of the designated area and to request all the affected people to meet once more on Wednesday August 23 in the Town Hall at 9 p.m. Friday, Aug. 4, Rev. and Mrs. J.
