Four way stop sign requested
By Helen Owen
Bayfield Village
Council met on Monday
2nd June 1980, when Clerk
Gordon Graham
presented correspon-
dence received including
a request for a four way_
stop junction at Short Hill
and Long Hill. It was
agreed that this matter
being - outside the
Jurisdiction of the Village
Council, it should be
referred to the M.T.C.
A meeting with the
representative of the
ministry of culture and
recreation would take
placeon June 19 at which
the village council would
be represented.
The Parks and
Recreation Committee
would be meeting on June
4th for initial discussion
of recommendations to be
made to the council
regarding future ac-
tivities. '
The clerk read a copy
of a letter which had been
sent to the Department of
Justice emphasizing the
concern of villagers at
the lack of support_from
the „courts in the handling
of offenders apprehended.
by the O.P.P. following a
series of break-ins which
had occurred locally.
Council had also
written -expressing its
support of the resolution
of Exeter council which
condemned the slaughter
of children in
Afghanistan by the •
U.S.S.R. It was _con-
firmed that June 15 to 21
would be declared as
'Senior Citizens' Week'.

The /novel tickets now
available at Graham's
Sto e and the Little Inn,
f the Bayfield Garden
alk on June 21, were the
gift of Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Rogers'. They
were hand-written by
Milt Van Patter.
'these cards were
developed from old
negatives found in the
Gairdner House when the
Rogers assumed
ownership of the building.
The Garden Club is
grateful for this gift and
to Mr. Van Patter for his
tedious labours on behalf
of the Club. We must say
'thank you' also to, Pat
and Wynn Graham who
so cheerfully handle
tickets and Garden Club
memberships and also
Mr. Chris Gower of the

airport. The committee
agree that the automated
station will, not provide
the same degree of ac-
curacy and detailed in-
formation for pilots as
provided by a manned
station. Members also
feel that because the'
airport is located close to
the lake, the weather
pattern in the area is
unique and , requires
special attention.
Correction
In the news item
regarding the Queen of
the Fair contest last
week, .the last line should
, have read: Hearn
Wholesale Ltd.
where Council drainage
work disturbed resident's
property, gravel would be
replaced as part of the
making good process.
However, special
requests for supply of
gravel would be charged,
and might also include
the cost of culverts for
driveways, and labour
involved.

Lampoonery
By Bud Sturgeon
Does anyone remember the answer to the age old
riddle, "What comes to town with a white shirt and a
five dollar bill and leaves without changing either?" If
not, maybe you will remember a few other things
down 1V1-emory Lane.
Remember hour longboat rides for a quarter on the
Binnie S. and Jowetts' Eagle?
It's been about 15 years since the river shuttle
B.J.B. met its demise between the piers when the
bottom was chopped out with an axe.
No more do the delivery men come to the door, but it
hasn't been that long since the Toastmaster Baker
made the rounds with his big basket chocked full of
pies, cakes and goodies. •
Saturday mornings, Ivan Youngblut peddled his
meat throughout the village; cutting off huge slabs of
bologna for the kids that hung around the truck when
he stopped.
Even farther back, it's been a day or two since ice
was delivered door to door in Bayfield.
How many people can remember drinking "Icy"
pop at Westlake's , Bluewater Booth or eating ice
cream at Fowlies TO Cream Parlour on Main Street?'
Anyone that attended school in Bayfieldin the early
60's should be able to remember the pet crow that
would sit on your head or shoulder and beg for scraps
of food at recess.
Main Street was always a big spot for controlled
drag races but it was a pair of older gentlemen that
stole the show many's a time. They both owned Ford
Falcons and while onechap preferred to grind the
gear and never use the clutch the other never took his
foot off the clutch allowing the car's engine to "rev"
h' eously at all'speeds. It was always tough to pick a
nner.
As far as people and things go, can anyone
remember Billy Higgins' pealiejd ; Dr. Woods playing
his band instruments in the middle of.the night; when
the music teacher, Mr. Burgoin, had his car plastered
with rotten eggs at the school; when John Vos hand
painted his Studebaker bright yellow; or maybe the
"Russian" girls that were around for a couple sum-
mers?
Everybody remembers the wild dances at the
"Pay" and the "Bullpen", but how many recall when
they boarded up the windows in an attempt to soun-
dproof the building so the music couldn't get out and
the crowd outside would have to pay admission and go
insidelf they wanted to hes it? ,
We still have the steps'Irthe Main Beach and the
cement steps at the end of Delevan Street, but. the
rickety old steps at Pioneer Park were torn down and
never replaced.
Back on Main Street, does anyone remember the
summers when a Lew of the local boys lived in tents,
camped out on the vacant lot where Gaminages
Totality now is, or playing "Run My Sheepy Run" with
the whole village as the playground?
Some say it was foolish,
Some say it was fun
But as I remember
'Twas a "son of a gun".
See you next•week!

Mrs. Sally Kennedy of
Belfast, Ireland has been
visiting with -her Met%
Mr. and Mrs. Gregg and
'family, while in Canada
for a three week
vacation.
Mrs. Kennedy also
visited with her sister-in-

another sister-in-law in
Chicago, accompanied by
Mrs, Gregg.
She made her first visit
to Canada in 1969 and has
been here a total of eight
times.
She enjoys the village
of Bayfield immensely,
especially the hospitality
of the people, browsing
through the shops, the
boats, the lake, the
sunsets and all the
scenery that makes it like
it is.
Sunday guests with
Mrs. Kennedy and the
Gregg family in Bayfield
were Mrs. Agnes Carr
and Mrs. Joyce Carr and
family of London.
Mrs. Kennedy had such s.
an enjoyable holiday and
too soon it is all over as
she returns to Ireland

Congratulations go out
to Mark and Sunnee
Stephens on the arrival of
a baby daughter, Erin,
during last Friday's
thunderstorm.
As a post note to the
Moleman's fishing trip,
although only two fish
were caught, he claims to
have caught the biggest.
If only he had a picture to
substantiate this wild
claim. *Even "Fifty"
doesn't believe a word of
it!
