HomeMy WebLinkAboutClinton News-Record, 1979-01-04, Page 10•"d PAGE 10—CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, THURSDAY. JANUARY 4 , 1979 Local.artifactsl in book 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.

"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 News from Middleton by Blanche Deeves A service of Lessons and Carols was held at St. James' Anglican Church Blanche Deeves read the first two lessons; James Storey read lesson five and lesson six was read by Audrey Mid- dleton.

Here in Bayfield other old main street buildings housing the bank, the Village Market and a dress shop, and residence ',were featured in a sketch 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 of the visible pact Round the village Mrs. Connie Graham of Dutton was a holiday guest with her son Pat and his family.

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 ACQUISITION CERTIFICATE FOR GUNS YOU ALRI ADY O*N, OR TO PURCHASE AMMUNITION.
