Craigs celebrate 40 .years
Albert and Helen Craig
celebrated their 40th
Wedding. Anniversary at
their daughter's home in
the village on Saturday
night.
The couple were
married in the old
Anglican Manse by
Reverend Graham on a
warm November night in
1940. The couple still
remember coming out
the side door of the manse
to the sound of bells. The
McDools had rigged a
cowbell in the tree and a
long piece of binder twine
trailed ovr to their home

News out of the NHL this past week indicated
that one or more teams are' looking for a new
home. So Atlanta wants a team. Tough beans,
they just lost one because . nobody went to the
games there. Who really cares if a franchise is
moved to the Meadowlands or Altoona. Hamilton
is out of the question..A junior A team couldn't
survive in that city.
It's all malarky. I say let's get serious for a
change and petition the Board of Governors of
the NHL to send the Pittsburg Penguins to
Bayfield. I say Pittsburg because they are the
team most likely to succeed in a village the size
of Bayfield.
A lot of people might scoff at the idea, but it's
really no different than Varna applying for the
World's 1 bait or Hills Green Wanting to be put on
the official road map of Ontario. Let's examine
the feasibility of the move.
First off, the team could operate with a low
overhead here as compared to the city. Ice time
is less expensive and there is 'enough standing
lumber in the immediate area that players could
whittle their own supply of sticks during the
summer.
'Unfortunately the actual size of the ice surface
in the Bayfield Arena is a 'little smaller than
normal NHL arenas, but teams could play four
men aside to make _up the difference. During the
Stanley Cup, a patch of ice could be cleared on
the Bayfield River to make a regulation size
surface.
Once the NHL agreed to these minor rule
changes, we could get on to the more important
aspects of transferring the Penguins here.
The name Penguins would have to go.- The
team would have to be named the Bayfield
Beagles or something like that. The colours of
the uniforms would have to be .changed also.
Picture this. A hockey team dressed in all black.
Black skates, black socks, black helmets and
black sweaters with black numbers. The pants
can be any colour because in a small town or
village the players' uniforms never match
completely. 'Some could wear red ones and
others could have blue or purple pants.
The players' names would also have to be
taken off the sweaters. In place of their names,
local merchants could advertise and get coast t
coast coverage when we played the Leafs o- a
Saturday night.
Selling seats is not a major proble . I've
talked to half a dozen local residents • : t yuould_
take season's tickets if the price , . s right. At
current NHL ticket prices, I fig e the cost of a
seat -in the Bayfield arena wo d run about $540
per game or $42;120 for ason's tickets. Of
course, this figure would : ry with seat location.
There are a few pro . ems to be ironed out yet,
but we're working o o t. Things like where to hold
training camp, w .. would coach them and where
we eould store e Stanley Cup when it came to
Bayfield.
I think e should submit a formal application
to bri : the team here for the ,1980-81 season and
if - don't get it, ,I won't be too disappointed
yway. After all, we're all Canadiens fans
here!
Bring on the Buckeye!

and other special music.
Instead of exchanging
gifts, it was decided to
take an offering and send
it to Mr., and Mrs. Ken
Crooker, and family, who
are doing God's work in
the Northern part of
Saskatchewan.
Mrs. Muriel Snider was
elected to act as vice-
president, and Mrs. Stella
Shiel as secretary -
treasurer, for the rest of
our current year. These
offices were vacant due
to some of our . faithful
members moving from
the area. Mrs. Shiel led
the women in pray -a-- for
all our missionaries, both
here and in the foreign
lands.
The special speaker for
the evening was Miss
Lenore Cates from
Forest, who is preparing
to go to England in the
spring with the Baptist
mid -Missions. She told
how the Lord had led her
first to Jamaica, then
when her job there was
completed, how He has
led her to answer the call
to England where there is
great need for Bible

Miss Cates showed
slides of the beautiful
country -side, the area
where she would be
working and of the people
she would be associated
with. She asked for our
prayers, for her, for the
remainder of her support,
and for the work of the
Lord in this country that
has always been so
closely linked to us as
Canadians. It is true now
as it was in the Holy Land
of old when Jesus said:
"Truly the harvest is
ready, but the labourers
