tment over tea af-
terwards. Muriel, a
native of London England
now residing in London
Ontario and recently a
resident of Bayfield for a
few years, was able to tell
us which of the British

which were 'cultivated'
on the stage.

seeing a most unusual
Amaryllis plant in full
bloom with no less than
eight - yes eight - perfect
blooms. The Brandons
said that the bulb was
planted on January 19.
Alice held up a backing
for it while I took a pic-
ture for the Clinton News
Record,' so I hope I had
better than my usual luck
this time with the
camera. I'd like to prove
I really did see it!

The old town hall
"You know what we
should do? We should
tear her down!" This was
the opinion held by Harry
Baker and others just a
few short years ago:
Harry is project manager
for the alterations now
taking place at the old
Hall. His enthusiasm for
the project is boundless.
I first became
acquainted with Harry
during an election
campaign in London. I
was distributing election
literature and were we
ever on opposite sides of
the fence politically!
When you're out for hours
knocking on doors up and
down streets, you can't
remember all the people
you talk to, but Harry is
not the kind of person
you're apt to forget, even
if you only meet him for a
minute! So it was a
pleasant surprise to find
him retired in his native
Bayfield, and it is as
always a refreshing
experience to meet up
with him.
As to the Town Hall,
Harry's better judgment
surfaced and a valuable
landmark was saved
mainly due to his
remarkable initiative.
We disagreed on whether
to restore or renovate.
Count 'em all eight of them. Brandon's Pro Hardware in Bayfield has a bright
spot to combat the cold winter with a blooming Amaryllis with eight flowers.
Alice Brandon is shown here with her plant. (photo by Gwen Pemberton)

Time and economics
were on his side. When
the chimney was torn
down, the beautiful wide
tongue and groove pine
board siding which
covers the building was
exposed. This - painted
white, as originally - was
what I. wanted to see
restored. Impractical?
Well I ruefully
remarked, as I saw it
being covered with still
another layer, it will be
well preserved for others
to rescue when I am dead
and gone". It may not
take that long", one
councillor consolingly
observed." The move to
restore is so strong that
I'd say it will happen in a
very few years.
On page 22A of the
Souvenir edition of the
Bayfield Bugle, published
in 1976, Ethel Poth
recounted the history of
the Hall built in 18$1; On
November 11 of that year,
an item in the Huron
News Record read 'The
Bayfield Council is on an
economical dodge. They
put the Town Hall on a
street before they would
buy a lot for it!' On
December 2, the same
year, another item ap-
peared 'Is it lawful for
Bayfield Council to erect
a Town Hall on the
Queen's highway and
block up the road?'. In a
picture on page 7A of the
Souvenir edition, the Hall
is shown on its original
site. It took 40 years to get
it moved. In May; 1920,
the lot where it now
stands was purchased for
$350. •
Mrs. Poth comments in
her story 'It would have
been, in a way, a good
Centennial project to
ave had the Hall
estored to its former
ppearance on the out-
ide, but the asbestos
hingles do make it easier
o heat, and also save on
ainting.
Today we have a
lassic village scene - a
illage green with
hurches and Town Hall
urrounding it. Long may
stay that way and may
he original siding sur-
face soon!
