The picture will be added to those which already hang on the walls of the Council chamber. Business matters dealt with included an agreement reached with Mr. Herman Van Wieren. He will undertake building inspection for the village beginning on February 1st.

McFadden won- dered whet -her the Council should consider making smoke detectors compulsory in Bayfield hors The Reeve, who represents council on the Ausable Bayfield Con- servation Authority, suggested that the new Resources Manager, Mr. William Mungall be asked to visit the village to acquaint council and ratepayers with flood plain and ,fill line map- ping regulations. Councillor Van Patter expressed concern that there is no supervision of the skating rinks in Clan Gregor Square.

A letter was received from the . Bayfield Archives Association requesting a grant from the village of $1,000 for the preservation and ac- cumulation of historical documents, important in the history of the village. Mr. Oddliefson appeared for the Association and suggested that the ,pur- chase of a fire-resistant safe for the protection of village archives was advisable. Letters trom the ministry of the en- viroment regarding the condition of garbage dumping areas and the need for suitable testing for the possible seepage of methane gas, and from the minister of tran- sportation and com- munication regarding the condition of bridges were received. Since neither the adjacent old garbage dump, nor the bridge on Highway 21 are under village jurisdiction, no report to these Ministries is necessary. The Clerk -treasurer asked the reporter to remind dog owners that dog tags are available and should be procured. A communication from the Hon. Thomas L. Wells, minister of Inter - Governmental affairs, was viewed by Council. Action by the Federal Government over the last months of 1978 will have the impact of cut- ting Ontario's expected revenues by $400 million for 1979. "We don't want to shift the impact to the municipalities; we have previously told them that increases in local government transfers will average five percent and we will stand by this commitment." Mr. Wells said. Life is pretty quiet these days for the residents at Les Jervis' pond near Holmesville. The ducks, geese and deer, frequently visited in the summer by local residents and passers-by voiced their concern and stared in amazement when a rare winter visitor, the photographer scaled a snowdrift to take their picture.

Within a fervent Methodist Is preaching to no heedless flock! -William Wordsworth's 'Peter Bell', published 1819. A study group in Bayfield which started about a year ago require's that participants give a talk or read a paper on a subject of his or her choice. The presentation is followed by discussion , of the subject. On Sunday night, it was Kay Reid's turn. She told the story of the Tolpudle Martyrs. It had aroused her interest, because, on trips to England, she visited near the village of Tolpuddle and her friends there expressed surprise that she had never heard their story. Curiosity led her to research it further when she learned that one 'martyr', James Brine had actually tried far- ming near Holmesville- crop failure, because of a plague of grasshoppers drove him off his land - and then lived in Bayfield for a short time. Research has located the farm, but no trace has been found of a' Bayfield connection. A London descendant has the blunderbuss brought to Holmesville for protection against Indians. The story is a fascinating one. As Kay pointed out, it is woven into the history of the trade union movement in Ontario as well as in England. These farm- hands in Dorset were religious, serious-minded and intelligent. They listened to the leaders of theirday. In religion they were Methodists, though John Wesley's call was not for economic justice. They were.,4 serious minded, so they pondered about the injustice of their plight and deter- mined to try todo something about it. They were intelligent, so they realized -that individually they -were getting nowhere thus they for- med a group to discuss what to do. They decided to ask for a raise in pay from six to eight shillings a week.

Labour leaders back in England took up their cause and won a pardon for them. But it was six long years before they got back to England. Seeking to avoid notoriety, they decided to emigrate to Canada where it was agreed they would keep their story a secret; however labour leaders learned their whereabouts and publicized their story. Today. a burial ground at Siloam Church near London, Ontario has become a place which Trade Unionists honour and visit on ceremonial occasions, because of the Tolpuddle Martyrs buried there. George Bernard Shaw commented on the Tolpuddle affair voicing his disapproval of martyrs in general. But, he said "There is this to be said for theDorchester men. They got tran- sported at the exp nse of the landlords and em - players. As they could hardly, if they were reasonable men, have desired to live in Dorset as slaves - for that is what it came to - they were lucky to be pushed out of It' Discussion which followed queried the power of Labour Unions in present day society and the blunt question inevitably arose Whose side did you take in the Fleck strike and or the teachers' strike in Huron County?"
