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 woman "I have practiced tention, after taking the Pfrimmer . Technique Course, that every chiropractor should be. taught this course," 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.

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 Baptist church get pews by Janet Talbot The Sunday services at 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 telling those early Christians to prove their faith by, doing good. In the evening service, Ken Crooker from Tillsonburg gave ' his testimony of how God saved them and is now calling them to active Missionary work. They w ii t be-- going= -to, Prince._ Albert, Saskatchewan in July, where they will be involved in a buildiing project for the Northern Canada Evangelical Mission, and expect to be in the awea of northern Alberta later in the year. 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.

New carpeting has been provided by a generous believer, so we hope every one will come and worship with us in these lovely new surroundings. 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. Bits and pieces Miss Evelyn Schell from Ayer's Cliff, Quebec is spending a few days with her father, Mr. Ray Schell at the Clan Gregor, Apartments, and with her sister Mrs. Norm Talbot and Mr. Talbot.

It was a beautiful day Turn to page 14 • 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 Lucy loved flowers and two beliefs. One, that "Looking Great can make the difference in after she and her mother the quality of life we enjoy.
