in search of the Wedding
guests. When asked
Saturday how he felt
about having his new
bride of less than an Jour
whisked away from him,
Mr, Poth 'replied in one
word "silly". However,
this past Saturday a,nd .50
years later,, all went
smoothly as none of Mrs.
Poth's former pupils
spirited her away from
her husband and the
celebration, even though
some were in attendance.
Mrs.. Poth as well as
being a former teacher is
also a noted historian,
availing herself of as
much information as she
-can obtain, as well as
taking scores of pictures
and, re -taking old
photographs. She is a
• valuable member and
e
Archivist of the Huron
Coufty Historical Society
and a valued member of
the community. Mrs.
Poth, as you will recall
wrote a great deal of the
History of Bayfield for its
Centennial Celebrations
in 1976 which was

Garden Club President
Doris Hunter reported
that next to the
Ratepayers' Association,
the club has the largest
membership in Bayfield -
not a bad record since it
was organized only 5
months ago on June 11.
The certificate has been
received signed by
William Newman,
Ontario, Minister of
Agriculture and Food and
A.J. Pepper, Superiri-
tendent of Horticultural
Societies which declares
the Baykeld Club a
de
Society as fined under
the Horticultural
Societies.
At .a meeting of the
directors, it was decided
to send a 'letter 'to the
Village Council to ask
that no more than two
spiles per maple tree be
allowed in Clan Gregor
Square during the tap-
ping season to insure
against a possible in-
jurious effect on the
trees.
It was announced that
at the December 10
meeting the speaker will
be the proprietor of 'The
Raintree' in Clinton. The
president announced that
she will donate an antique
rose boWl 'for' tlfe' 'best' this special music was

meeting. The A
rnegting will be heannualld on Anglicans
January 14 and a .
nominating committee
was approved, consisting honor
of Betty Burch, Ernie
Hovey and Gwen Pem-
berton. '
About 50 members the dead
were present to hear
Kenneth J. Smith, who
was introduced by his
long-time friend ' Fred
Clift. ' Ken has been
garden columnist for the
London Free Press for 22
years, and has been
employed by the paper
for 30 years "being paid
for what he likes doing
most".It was as Infor-
mation Officer for
London Military District
that Fred got to know him
well. It was for his ex-
pertise as a photographer
that the Armed Forces
sent him on an expedition
to the Arctic.
The Garden Club was
the beneficiary of this
exercise as the members
were shown the wild-
flowers that bloom in the
Arctic in a series of
superb slides. An
astonishing number exist
there, many with
familiar sounding names
and some with unusual
ones as, for example,
'woolly lou§ewort'.
In the second part of his
talk.. Ken took us to
England Where he and his
wife visited the Unwin
Seeds Company trial
grounds, near Cam-
bridge, the Bodnart
Gardens near Llandudno
in Wales and finally
Winston Churchill's
Chartwell. •The Club
members were shown,
beautiful slides of these
places.
Ray Fraser expressed
the thanks of the Club to
Ken.

ments were served from

presided over by Mildred
Fellows. published by the Clinton
News -Record, and was a
keen. supporter of
Milvena Erickson,
centennial chairman.
Both being Bayfield
natives led to a great deal
of reminiscences and
valuable information in
putting together the
project. Mrs. Poth still
spends. hours upon hours
writing and assembling
bits and pieces of in-
formation and historical
data relating to the
Village of Bayfield and
Huron County.
Mr. Poth was brought.
up on .a farm at New
Dundee and became an
electrician. After their
marriage they lived for 14
years, in Caledonia, then
they came to Bayfield to
take over her father's
cottage business. He was
an active memberof
several, organizations
includin-g a former
member of Bayfield
Lions Club and is an avid
license plate collector.

The memorial Side -
Altar at the Cathedral
Church of St. .Pauls is
dedicated to all who died
and all who served in
World War I and II. Set in
the Altar is a book
wherein, page by page, a
photograph of each who
perished and their
biography. Elsewhere in
our Cathedral Church are
memorials of the carnage
of war. In the Narthex is
a memorial of those who
fell in the Battle of Alma
(1854) and affixed to 'the
walls are plaques and
relics of lives that were
lost.
The colours of various
regiments which hang in
the chancel are mute
testimony to generations
of men and women who
served the ideals they
symbolize.
None - of these
momentos glorify war.
They are eloquent wit-
ness to the tragedy of
war. Yet they 'are a
witness also to a ndbility
of spirit and strength of
puripose out of which a
nation's maturity is built.

Larry was described by
a CP rail superintendent
as a "young fellow we are
pretty proud of". This 27 -
year -old trainman went
back to the- accident
scene to detach 27 upright
cars so they could be
towed away from ' the
hundreds of nearby
homes. Most of the
upright tankers were
filled with propane. His
Bayfield relatives are
