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 next door here sitting in .the windo one of the McDool brothers could be Lampoonery By Bud Sturgeon 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!

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 are few."
