the BAYFIELD.bugle
Village to have building inspector
At the regular meeting
of the • Bayfield Village
Council on Monday,
January 22nd, the Council
members turned out
looking very spruce for
the annual picture -taking
event. 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. He will
receive a salary of $840
based on an equalized
assessment formula
calculated in relation to
the other municipalities
for whom he acts as in-
spector. He will receive
in addition 121/2 cents per
mile for travelling ex-
penses. The cost of a
village building permit
has not yet been decided.
Mr. Van Wieren says it
will take approximately
two weeks for the
issuance of a permit.
Councillor Warner
reported an increase in
the number of fire calls, -
seven 'already in 1979.
Reeve. 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. He
reported that
snowmobiles are
disobeying the signs
posted around the park
prohibiting motorized
vehicles. They are 'seen
on the ice pulling children
behind them in the midst
of other skaters.
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cumulation of historical
documents, important in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. (News -Record photo)

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. '
From there they found
themselves whisked off to
a port, and, without a
chance to bid their
families
farewell,

were put on board a hulk
and transported to
Australia. 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?"
Fifteen of the 25 study
group members were
present. Most of the
others have fled to
warmer climes.
