In fact I'd love to have the time
to just sit and watch them go
by. People fascinate me, they
make me wish I could draw
fast enough to register some of
the shapes, moods and faces of
the crowds.
Monday nite of this week a
group of about twenty people -
five from Bayfield and several
from AROUND Goderich
gathered to discuss the
possibility of establishing an
Arts Council -,for this area.
To put 'our feet firmly on the
ground_ it was, agreed right at
the start that the Arts Council
should take in Huron County -
not just Goderich.
Those present had
letters proposing the Com-
munity Art Council and a letter
' telling of the one set up in
Grey -Bruce Counties which is
working very successfully.. This
indeed will be a big step, but I
think we all realize we need
help in this project as our
cultural resources are very -low.
Therefore, to provide help for
the Performing, Applied and
Fine Arts, Music etc. a LOT of
help is needed.
A few weeks ago I mentioned
"finding" the little church at
Cape Chin in the peninsula
not too far from Tobermory. 1
have had ' evei'al calls and con-
versatior about this nice little
church so thought I would
mention further - and I'm sure
it is of interest to many, that
alts. Ernie Ford also has a big
interest in this church.
Her great-grandmother had
brought a Communion Set from
England with her to Canada
and it happens that St.
Margarets is the recipient of
this lovely set. The Rev. RYW.
James in 1912 travelled from
Ripley with his wife and family
by a horse and cutter to Lions
Head.
Cape Chin was one of his
parishes and St. Margarets
Church was built in 1927 under
his guidance. St. Margarets is
often. called "the church which
one man built" - not an actual
fact, but the Rev. James did
more work than any'other man
from quarrying the stone to
putting in windows and
shingling the roof. No wonder
he was known - with affection -
throughout the entire Bruce
Peninsula as "Daddy" James!
In speaking . 'of the little
church it was said it was so
well built it could last for cen-
turies. This is actually the irn-
pression you get when you first
see it. It is SOLID! Apparently
the, Communion Set is still
being used there as it was, to be
returned to the Ford family if it
was ever replaced. According to
the visitors books and the -hun-
dreds of signatures the church
is well used and often visited
by people touring that area. I
hope others of you will look for
this church and go in. It will
just make your day.
Love,
Martha
