Graduates praise course
The second class of
eight students to be-
trained at the Therese C.
Pfrimmer Clinic for Deep
Muscle Therapy near
Bayfield, graduated on
June].
More states in America
were represented in this
class. Mrs. Pfrimmer has
tried to be selective by
attempting ,-to -choose, or
have, therapists for each
state, so that her work
can be spread out.
Mrs. Pfrimmer's Deep
Muscle Therapy program
has caused quite a stir
throughout the United
States, but no recognition
of her work has been
given in Canada, except
through the patients who
have been successfully
treated by her.
The students of the
,,most recent graduating
class also commented on
. her work and the course
they took.
Dr. Alex Mazurin D.C.,
from Ft. St. John, B.C.
said," Therese Pfrim-
mer's
frim-
mer's Deep Muscle
Therapy has finally
received the recognition
it deserved 30 years ago.
It is amazing what a
seemingly simple
technique has done to
help the body cure the so
called incurable con-
ditions. I was privileged
to have the opportunity to
study and learn from
Therese Pfrimmer. The
three week course was
,most educational and has
answered many
questions I have thought
about for many years."
"Despite medical
training, to me Deep
Muscle Therapy is a new
approach to helping
people with a variety of
ailments." Dr. Richard
Vodegel M.D. P.S., from
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
explained.
He went on, "It is
satisfying to know that
people can find relief
from disabilities, where
otherwise there seems to
be no hope. It is also
refreshing that no
complicated surgical
operations are needed
with using the basically
simple techniques of
Deep Muscle Therapy."
Mary Lou Crosser R.N.
D.M.T. from Osage, Iowa
praised the clinic.
"Therese Pfrimmer's
clinic is unique in that it
is a healing technique
requiring no other aids
than releasing taut
muscles. This increases
circulation so that the
body can heal itself. The
idea is simple and hard to
believe it is effective, but
it definitely works. I am
grateful to have acquired
the knowledge to take
back to my community,"
she said.
"I will be grateful
always for the op-
portunity to learn Deep
Muscle Therapy," Rosy
Mary Malone R.N. from
Bradenton. Florida
stressed. chiropractic for 11 years,
She explained, "Being along with some
here in Bayfield, to study osteopathic manipulation
with Therese Pfrimmer / and had success.
'has been great. I am However, it is my con -
looking forward to using
what I have learned to aid
others to feel better.
Thanks, Therese."
Another graduate from
this recent course, Sally
C. Barbaree Pt. of the_Ra-.
Mar Clinic, Montgomery,
Alabama agreed.
"Therese Pfrimmer's
Clinic has helped many_
peoplewho would not
have been helped,
because doctors have told
them that they could not
be helped anymore and
not anything could be
done for them. Then a
patient, sometimes a
small child, comes to her
clinic, maybe in a
wheelchair or on crutches
then, after the treatment,
gets up and walks. I know
of no other clinic where
this can be done. God has
truly blessed this

claimed Dr. Eve Venturi
.C.,_ from Q1a,,.
California.
Another experienced
person in the field,
Gretchen S. Peterson
from Hartland, Vermont,
was also •impressed by
xhe course..,.
"Being a massage
therapist for five years, it
was a rich experience for
me to learn the correct
way to treat crippling
ailments. Working in
Vermont in a Cerebral
Palsy clinic, I needed this
knowledge to save
children from un-
neccesary operations. We
should be grateful to Mrs.
Pfrimmer
for
discovering the Deep
Muscle treatments which
can ease the pain of
many, and promote the
healing process in those
who need it'most," she
voiced.
People have come
thousands .of miles to
study at the Pfrimmer
clipic. near Bayfield.
Graduating from the
most recent class was
Sharon Y...aVyst In.iV�.a,
from Honolulu, Hawaii.
"I am truly grateful for
the opportunity I had to
learn the Therese
Pfrimmer Technique of
Deep Muscle Therapy,"
sheNexplained. '`When alcl
other forms of , therapy
have failed, it's so
rewarding to see,
Cerebral Palsy, Multiple
Sclerosis, and paralysis
patients improve and get
well after Deep Muscle
Therapy treatments. My
sincere thanks to a
dedicated woman who is
so willing to - share her
knowledge with others so
that chronic and terminal
cases can have a new
lease on life.

Lucy .Diehl admired by readers and friend„
Many residents of
Bayfield were shocked to
hear of the sudden death
of Lucy (Woods) Diehl on
Friday, May 25, 1979. It
seems like the ending of
an era, for the Woods
family had been a part of
the village from the time
that Ninian Mahaffy
Woods, a graduate from
Trinity College in Dublin,
migrated to Canada
around 1850. He was a
cousin of Lucy's branch
of the family.
Lucy's father was Dr.
Ninian Wildridge Woods
and her grandfather was
William Henry Woods,
named after his uncle, a
naval surgeon, who had
come out here "for a
lark" when 16 years of
age with four other
students. They built ' a
shack and set up
housekeeping on the
Sauble Line (Highway
21). William Henry didn't
like it in this country and
went back home.
Dr. Ninian W. Woods
came to Bayfield in 1894
to visit his cousin, liked it,
and stayed. In 1897, he
bought The Hut for $300.
It served as Bayfield's
first schoolhouse, as a
place for public meetings
and church services and
then as a private home
for a number of owners.
He was married on
April 16, 1901 to Margaret
Buchan of Durham. She
was nursing his scarlet
fever patients at
Wheddon's at the time.
The Woods first
daughter arrived on
September 20, 1902 and
was named Lucy
Rosamond. On August 21,
1905, sister Jean com-
pleted the family circle.
Lucy resembled her
father, and Jean her
mother.
For the first few years
of their lives, the girls
played at The Hut, but in
1907 their father bought
the large brick house on
Main Street, built Mr.
Riit1Prive. now owned by
the Lloyd Westlake's.
Lucy and Jean early
learned from their father
and mother the meaning
of community service. He
took care of the people's
illnesses, while she took
part in the Trinity
Church, which included
playing the organ and
also doing much in fall
fair work and other ac-
tivites of the village.
At home, the girls had
to look after their own
horse and help with many
chores. They were
popular at concerts as
they sang beautifully
together.
But early in life, Lucy
began suffering from
arthritis and, in spite of
treatments abroad and in
Arizona, the affliction
gradually became worse
and necessitatd a rather
sedentary life. She
assisted her father in the
post office until his death
in 1933 and then she and
her mother carried on

the Bayfield Baptist
Church with the Pastor,
Rev. Les Shiel in charge,
ably assisted by Mr.
Mark Nicholson, were
-well attended,
•In continuing in the
study of the Book of
James, the Pastor used
the passage of the second
chapter where James is

Christians to prove their

Miss Evelyn Schell,
from Ayer's Cliff,
Quebec, was the guest
soloist for both services
and sang very inspiring
solos accompanied by
Mrs. Muriel Snider at the
piano. Miss Schell is with
the Canadian Sunday
School Mission in Quebec,
and reports that the
Mission work there is
really growing, the camp
program is already
nearly filled but they
need more workers and
asked that we all pray,
that the Lord will send
more older students for
councillors.

Much grateful thanks
goes out to those who
have worked so hard and
so faithfully and given so
generously so we could
reach this goal and make
the house of the Lord a
beautiful tribute to Him.

until 1947 when Ernest
Hovey became the
postmaster.
During this time, Lucy
began writing for the
Clinton News -Record and
was a correspondent for
over a quarter of a
century. She had a
retentive memory and
was precise in her work
and iry 1954, was honored
as top correspondent by
the Weekly Newspaprers'
Association of Ontario.
She also wrote a
column Rambling With
Lucy, many of which will
be used by historians for
years to come. She
produced her last column
only last September. This column was born based on
