The throw away society
The group met at the
home of Rev. and Mrs.
George Youmatoff on
Sunday evening to hear a
paper on The Throw
Away Society read by Flo
Youmatoff.
Speaking as a
housewife, mother and
grandparent, the speaker
deplored the way we have
thoughtlessly allowed
ourselves to become
victims of our own
wasteful habits.
"Husbandry, as
practised by pioneers has
long been abandoned as a
way of life." the speaker
said.
In the discussion which
followed, the suggestion
was offered for Lon-
doners that in their
present garbage crisis
situation they might
learn a valuable lesson if
they began to separate
the refuse into what is
disposable and what is
'recycleable', which of
course many incerned
citizens of that city
already do. There was
even the suspicion voiced
that London garbage had
found its way to Bayfield
over thg'Weekend!
In crisi& ,situation
consumers are made to
realize how wasteful they
have .become. They turn
to government for help in
controlling pollution in
lakes and rivers and in
the air. We know that
time is running out in
conservation of our
natural resources, that
we are living off our
capital, that our farm
land is disappearing
under concrete. In 1970
the Ontario Government
passed the Waste
Management Act and a'
beginning has been made,
by the setting up of the
Ontario Resources
Recovery Centre at
Downsview which people
are encouraged to visit.
However Toronto gar-
bage is recycled there
and a cement plant near
Woodstock u4es 800 pound
bales of dried garbage
from the centre to sup-
plement its fuel supply.
Mrs. Youmatoff em-
phasized that all of us in
our day-to-day living will
have to put into practice
good habits of httisbandry
again. Our forblears did
not have to contend with
plastics which are not
degradable but which can
be recycled. In our time
we must come to grips
with the plastics
problem, before it is too
laTe.
The Youmatoffs have
undertaken a Village
newspaper collection. A
half -ton truck comes
from Londesboro Lions
Club to collect the papers
from their garage.
George would like to have
the collection undertaken
by an organized group so
that more papers could
be handled and a one ton
truck could come oftener
to the village.
This would be a worth-
while project for a con-
cerned group.
Cancer canvass
April is Cancer Month

Merrill reports that,
thanks to his team of
willing canvassers, the
Cancer Society Cam-
paign in Bayfield and
area is progressing
favourably, and will be

30 anyone has been
missed for some reason
and wishes to contribute,
please phone Ross
Merrill at 565-2857 and
someone will arrange to
pick up your contribution
and issue you a receipt.

the BAYFIELDGwen Pemberton bugle
Historical group hear about Paddy
Members of the
Bayfield Historical
Society came to the
meeting last Monday
night expecting to hear
Dr. Fred Armstrong,
President of the Ontario
Historical Society. They
were informed by the
President, Dr. Grov.
Shepherd that a late
phone call had come from
Dr. Armstrong reporting
that he was too ill to at-
tend.
He was scheduled to
talk about The Elusive
Barons of Bayfield. A
history professor at the
University of Western
Ontario, Dr. Armstrong
has done extensive
research on the Barons
De Tuyll who owned the
land on which the village
of Bayfield stands which
was deeded to their
family by the Canada
Land Company. An ex-
cellent paper on the
subject written by Dr.
Armstrong has just been
published in Families, a
periodical of the Ontario
Genealogical Society.
In the absence of the
expected speaker the
impromptu program
proved to be most in-
teresting. Dr. Shepherd
reviewed a paper which
appeared in the March
issue of Ontario History,
published by the Ontario
Historical Society,
written by W.A.B.
Douglas, Director of the
Directorate of History,
National Defence
Headquarters on The
Anatomy of Naval
Incompetence; the
Provincial Marine in
Defence of Upper Canada
before 1813. The Marines
performed valuable
service in transporting
troops, capturing enemy
vessels and discouraging
attacks on British posts.
It was indispensable to
the British Navy since
none of its boats could
sail into the upper Great
Lakes at the time on
account of the obstacle of
Niagara Falls.
Brigadier Morgan
Smith then gave an off-
the-cuff account of the
life of Bayfield President
Paddy Doyle who lived to
be 90 and had a colorful
career. Morgan has
recorded many of Pad-
dy's amusing ex-
periences while he was
associated with the
Calgary Eye Opener
working with the
publisher, Bob Edwards,
for many years. He heard
many interesting in-
cidents in Doyle's life as
he was a veteran of the
First World War and
spent his last years in
Westminster Hospital in
Round the village
Perc. Johnston of
Bayfield is a patient in
Victoria Hospital in
London. His friends wish
him a speedy recovery
from eye surgery
Lot. and Mrs. David
Batye and their daughter
Renee visited with Mrs.
Batye's mother, Mrs.
Jess Blair over the
weekend, before
travelling on to Ottawa.
Ethel Blair also visited
her mother on the
weekend.
John Watson of the
Brundson line made an
unexpected trip to St.
Joseph's Hospital in
London for last week
emergency eye surgery
on both eyes. He has
returned home and
callers report that he is
doing well.
Mr. and Mrs. W.C,.
Parker, Charlie, Kim and
Jennifer and Miss Lorli
Marrison all spent
Sunday with Mr. and
Mrs. W.E. Parker.
The A B C club met at
Ruby Uniac's home last
week. Four tables of
players were present,
Esther Makins won the
high prize and Grace
Fraser had the low score.
The hidden prize was won
by Mary Nediger.
The Ever Youngs are
reminded of their
meeting this Thursday at
7:30 p.m. in the Municipal
Building. The Goderich
Golden Gate Club en-
tertained the Bayfield
Ever Young Club in
March. All reported a
good time.
St. Andrew's United
Church ladies are warned
to be prepared for the
hobo teas. They are asked
to have tea and coffee and
various other goodies
ready and to be prepared
for callers at any time
from 8 a.m. on!
Last Saturday the
Brownies undertook the
task of spring-cleaning of
Clan Gregor Square.
'Observers say they did a
first rate job and the
'7111age is very grateful.
Adam Patrick, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Delford
Altman was christened
by Rev. Father Mahoney
at St. Timothy's Church,
in Orangeville on Sunday,
April 22.
The chosen Godparents
were aunt and uncle, Mr.
Turn.to page 15
London where Morgan
visited him frequently.
He intends to write the
life story of Paddy Doyle
for the Historical Society.
The membership
convener, Mary
Shepherd reported that
there are 48 members to
date for 1979.
Social Convener Doris
Reddoch was assisted by
Leda McAllister in
serving refreshments.

Creek empties
in high winds
Ross Merill reported
,this very unusual oc-
currence during the
recent storm. A drainage
creek which flows
through the Jessie
Metcalf lakefront
property empties into a
gully to the lake. The
west wind was so strong
that it literally blew the
water out of the creek,
back up the bank and
spread it over an area
reaching back ap-
proximately 250 feet from
the bank where it froze,
covering the ground with
rough ice up to a depth of
six inches.
The cement footbridge
near the bank was
completely enclosed in
ice and the surrounding
trees were encased in ice
to a distance of 35 feet up
their trunks. Even
Bayfield old-timers never
remember anything like
this having occurred
before.
