My extra special gift
this year was a new book
on antique furniture.,
Howard Pain's 'Heritage
of- Upper Canadian
Furniture'. In it, to my'
delight, I discovered a
colored plate of a chest
which I had in my
possession., for 20 years
until an antique dealer
coaxed me into selling it
more than a year ago. My
dealer friend promised
that it would stay '`"in
Ontario, if I let him take
it; last summer I was
privileged to see it in a
fine old house with other
beautiful antiques. When
I brought it home years
ago, it was so thickly
covered with soot that I
didn't realize there was a
floral painting un-
derneath. I was advised
to clean it with Ivory soap
and• very hot water:
gradually there emerged
a lovely floral spray,
painted in Germany
nearly a century and a
half ago. The chest came
up the Hudson river to a
home in Zurich here in
Huron County' where it
was eventually auctioned
- the travel sticker was
still glued on the side.
The book was reviewed.
in the London Free Press
on Saturday, December
30 by John Hearn who
writes about collectables.
I would like to quote his
final paragraph. "This
book must surely rate
tops by any standards.
Reading it, browsing
through it, gloating over
it, I feel that it reaffirms
our roots at a time when
reaffirmation is more
than usually important.
Faith in the future
requires strong roots.
This is a little recognized
characteristic of
collectors of Canadiana.
They are not musty
people pining for the good
old days, but ,people
whose vision of
nationhood rests securely
on a very rich tradition.
This ikbound to be one of
their bo'ks''.
These three ladies were among those who graduated from the Homemakers'
course at Conestoga College, Clinton campus, in mid-December. Included were
left to right; Vicky Bakelaar, RR 3, Kippen; Corry Schotts, Clinton; .and
Margarita Schultz, Kitchener, formerly of Goderich. (photo by Elaine

Retiring postmaster honored
Farewell Party at Post
Office: Called first at the
Post Office and the
heavenly aroma of coffee
was in' the air. "Boy, that
coffee smells great! I
ca 't wait until.. I get
hadie to make a cup" (I
had just, got hack after a
four hour drive) . Marg
Mayman said "We've •
just been having a party
and:.. there's coffee left
over, so, have a cup
here". It was a farewell
'party for Ernie Hovey,
retiring Bayfield Post-
master4"and Berthena
Hammond, Assistant in
the Post Office for many
years. Both happened to
be on hand because Marg
told Ernie it was a little
get-together for Ber-
thena, and conversely
Berthena was told it was
for Ernie.
In the 'village . for the
occasion were the area
supervisor, Mel Farn-
sworth and three of his
staff. Berthena was
honoured by the
presentation of a corsage
and' ' Ernie received a
boutonniere. His
retirement date is'
December 29 and Ber-
thena's is January 2.
Personal Comment:
It's people like Ernie and
Berthena who make
living in Bayfield such a
pleasant ' experience.
Thank you, both.
Graham's Store
featured: Next I dropped
in at Graham's, taking
note of the" information
posted on the door that
Dalton Smith won the
turkey in the draw which
Win and Pat have made
an annual event for their
pre -Christmas
customers. The lucky
ticket was drawn by Ann
Scott of Rochdale,
England. She is Bar-
bara's new mother-in-
law, here for the Scott -
Graham wedding last
week.
I. was shown a prized
Christmas Lift of Win's,
"The General -store" by
Carol _Pr.,iamo. Such
, are'
books !my special
delight. Over the years
architects, historians and
collectors have produced
them about Ontario
pioneer houses, barns,
churches, railway
stations - many of them
now gone; however more
and more the remaining
one are revered, largely
because of such books.
The author of i1"The
General Store is
presently turning her
talents toward a major
work on the—inns and
taverns of Canada. I
begged to borrow the
book and browsing
through it, recognized
several familiar old
stores. On the book jacket
is a wonderful picture of
that landmark in Den-
field - the old Rosser store
- which so many artists
have 'had a go at' over
the years. The Graham's
store is there and
McClinchey's in Varna
where I used to stop for a
home -baked pie -
especially- on my arrilual
trip to our family picnic
_in Stratford - cheating I
know, but a fresh Cherry
pie from Ida's oven was
superior to one from

mine. Timothy Eaton had
his first store around the
corner from my home in

by Silvia Clarke of
London, Ontario as the
cover of a booklet
published by the Ontario
ministry of culture and
recreation in July 1977,
called 'Guidelines on .the
Designation of Heritage
Conservation Districts'.
This was undoubtedly
because the village was
one of the first 'places to
catch the eye of George
Kapelos and others and
led to the designation of
the Main Street and the
setting up of one of the
first - if not the first -
IACAC committees. It is
an astonishing fact that
there are now almost a
hundred such committees
throughout Ontario
dedicated to conservation

Most people use guns
responsibly...
a few don't.
Canada's gun laws require that anyone wishing to pur-
chase, borrow or exchange a firearm obtain a Firearms
Acquisition Certificate from police.
Certificates•aost$10.00 and are valid anywhere in Canada
for five years, allowing the purchase of any number of guns
with a single certificate during the five year period.
The purpose of the new law is to ensure that guns -are not
made readily available to those with a history of violent
behavior, mental disorders or a criminal record involving
violence. 4
YOU DO NOT NEED A FIREARMS

GUNS YOU ALRI ADY O*N, OR TO
