At the evening service
Mrs Shiel gave a report
On the 26th annual con-
vention of the Fellowship
of Evangelical Baptist,
Churches in Canada,
which was held at the
Sheraton Brock Hotel in
Niagara Falls. She
thanked the Church for
sending her, with the
Pastor, as represen-
tatives of the Church
here. She said it was an
honour and a blessing to
be affiliated with this
great organization, and
that what God has done
and is doing, is won-
derful.
For his message, the
Pastor used Luke chapter
5, verses one to eleven,
and Psalm 107. He
reminded all that we
should Thank the Lord -
First for Salvation.
Second Satisfaction and
third for Service.
After the service, a
Fellowship hour was

refreshments, and some
discussion concerning the
Christmas programs and
the bus problem. The

Society learns about river
About 45 members
were present on Monday
evening to hear William
,\ Mungall, Resources
Manager of the Ausable-
Bayfield . Conservation
Authority' explain the
geology of the area and
its effect on the. Bayfield
River basin. "Rivers
usually flow between
moraines, but the
Bayfield has found a way
to cut across the
Wyoming, Lucan and
Clinton moraines to wind
its way to the . lake", he
explained.
Another circumstance
which makes the river
unique is that there are
no dams to impede fish
from going upstream to
spawn. The early dams
were built with wooden
foundations and inferior
cement (the marl was not
available for strong
cement, as at the rivers
further north) ; con-
sequently all dams have
disappeared, except for a
small one on Trick's
Creek.
Whereas Canada Land
Company activity
destroyed the wild life
habitat in the Ausable
basin by its drainage
schemes in the last
century, the Bayfield
River escaped. Today
Clinton and Vanastra
have more than adequate
sewage treatment plants.
Between Clinton and the
river mouth at .Bayfield'
there is a gigantic filter
bed in the river basin a
mile wide, where sand
and gravel purify the
water. The effluent is of a
better class, Mr. Mungall
joked, as it approaches
Bayfield. As a result, the
Bayfield and its tributary
have one of the best
potentials , for trout
streams and year-round
fishing anywhere, the
speaker said. In the filter
bed there are seven or
eight deep and long
meander scars which go
back 6,000 years.
There are 11,000 acres
of forest and the best deer
yards are in the Bayfield
Varna area. These shift
around, because the
valley is so big. "As for
the scenic beauty, it is the
most spectacular in the
1,000 square miles under
the Authority. The river
falls 25 to 30 feet as it
approaches Bayfield,
providing good conditions
for canoeists in the
spring."
Mr. Mungall explained
that whereas recreation
has been stressed in the
sixties and seventies,
water management will
be emphasized in the
Ausable-Bayfield plans
for the future. It is hoped
that the silt loss Which
requires so much
dredging in the harbor
will be reduced by win-
dbreaks and stream bank
enhandement. More
intensive farming with
less grating by livestock
results in rnoa trees
tgrowing along he river
,banks in race' t years.
Water quality testing
programs will be un-
deetaken i nd streams .
will be rehabilitated to
become trout habitat
again. There are now
several pieces of
legislation to protect
waters such as 'The Beds
of Navigable Waters Act',
the Pits and Quarries
Act, the Beach Protection
Act etc.
The speaker was in-
troduced by Bayfield
Reeve Frank McFadden,
who is a member of the
executive committee of
the . Authority. Former
Reeve Ed Oddliefson
thanked him for his ex-
cellent presentation of
the Bayfield River story.
During the business of
the Society, , Archivist
Dorothy Cox gave notice
that the Archives room
will be open on Tuesdays
from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m.
during the winter mon-
ths. She reported im-
portant acquisitions to
the archives including
the Tom Bailey papers
and a definitive work on
Admiral . Henry Wolsey
Bayfield.
Dr. Jim Garrett
presented a beautifully
crafted notice -board to
the society, which will be
used to advertise future
meetings and will be
displayed at the Bayfield
Archives room. Members
were asked by -the
president to be on the
watch for future meeting
notices there. The let=
tering on the notice was
the work of the Rev. Jim
Reddoch.
A highlight of th;e
evening was a birthday
cake, also beautifully
crafted by Mrs. Doris
Reddoch. Jim Reddoch
had a hand in the
decoration of the cake too
which was in honor of the
president, Dr. Grov
Shepherd, whose bir-
thday it happened to be.
Mrs. Margaret Clift and
Mrs. Doris MacDougall
assisted in serving
refreshments.
The draw ` for the
needlepoint picture will
take place at the regular
monthly meeting on
Monday, November 26.
