Paul Bunyan, a 46 acre tent and trailer camp located on
ghway 21 just south of Bayfield sees about 100 campers
r week come through its gates.
The camp also boasts about 250 seasonal campers who
turn year after year.
One of the 250 seasonal campers in particular has taken a'
rsonal interest in the camp:
.That camper is',Walt Stasiak, a set designer for CFPL-TV
'London. Walt has been coming to Paul Bunyan Camp for
past seven years and currently owns a 52 foot trailer
me which he, his wife Alice and is daughter Cindy live in
ring the summer months.
Walt gives one the impression that he is in love with the
yfield, area and'the history it stands for. He stated that
main reasons he comes to Bayfield year after year is that
enjoys the quietness of the area and the historically styled
ildings.
His project for his own particular campsite is to make his
ea take on a more rustic appearance.
hall started when Walt decided he needed a storage shed •
such things as the lawnmower:
He decided that he would build the shed and make it look"
ea miniature pioneer general store, rather than purchase
metal one.

Most of his projects are built with the help of the neigh-
bourhood children who take an avid interest in the work.
This was no exception.
To add to the appearance of the shed, Walt built a split
rail fence around the side of it. _Ahitching post was also
installed in ,front of the cabin -like structure.
On the other side of his trailer stands an eight foot "Sun
God" statue made out 9f a poplar log. About two months of
careful 'chipping went into this creation.
Underway at the present •time is the construction, of -a
mock well just to the left of the shed. Surrounding his camp-
site are five homemade bird houses.
Walt stated that he "loves to get back to nature". ,
"I spent most of my summer holidays when I was a
youngster on my aunt's farm," he also said.
One of the children who has' 'been most interested in his -
work is Mike Gordon, a 13 -year-old summer resident of the
camp who has been coming up with his parents from Strat-
furd for the past eight years.
After the campsite project is completed, Walt said he will
go back to woodcarving which is really his hobby.
Owner of the camp Len Bannister stated that what Walt is
doing is "beautiful, orig'oal and artistic, and it is greatly ap-
preciated."

e Art Trek is coming to
erich for four days,
day, August 21 until
ay, August 25. That's one
more than last year's suc-
1 three-day Alt Trek ex-
ence, and Art -Club
niters are hopeful the
to be held at Queen
beth School North Street
Caledonia Terrace, will be
to, the brim with. en-
iastic people.
rt Trek is a group of
elling .artists encouraging
le to discover a creative
ntial in themselves that
may not have been aware
ey help working artists to
•ver .a new medium- or
pique and they urge
everyone to see art as part of
their everyday life.
The artists travel in teams of
two in six different areas of the
province under the joint spon-
sorship of the Ministry of Com-
munity and Social Services of
Ontario and the Ontario
Society of Artists.
They travel in vecns full of
equipment and art supplies of-
fering unstructured workshops
free of charge: in painting, prin-
ting, sculpture, batik, off -loom
weaving and other media.-
Coming to t derich are
Helen Hand from the Ontario
College of Art, and Bob Hirano -
from the University of Windsor.
Both are enthusiastic about
the program and Mrs. Hand is '
especially concerned about "the
obligation of the large urban
centres to share their cultural
resources and experiences with
the smaller communities". She
sees Art Trek as helping to
fulfill this obligation.

nesday. On Thursday and

The -33rd --regiment band,
Seaforth, will run its annual
excursion to Goderich on Thur-
sday of next week, August 13th.
The day has been proclaimed
as Seaforth's civic holiday, and
the excursion will probably be
a large one. `
At 9 a.m. on Saturday the
whistle of the tug Evelyn
singalized the departure of` the
fishing party for their annual
outing at Main Station, and the
elevator with answering
screech united its farewell to
those of the friendswho were
on the pier to wish the voyagers
good luck. The Evelyn also
took on board a miscellany of
supplies - stretchers, rubber
boots, bait, a rowboat, etc., etc.
with a copious supply of other
camp necessaries. Bronzed
faces and fish stories will no
doubt be the fashion when the
Pliny returns at the end of the
week.
