The summer solstice has
arrived and with it a pro-
liferation of good old sum-
mertime events.
Sunday found our village
invaded by people eager to
view the latest creation of
our local genius Tom
Penhale, the Disney Wagon.
It was well worth the view-
ing, over 3,000 signed the
guest book.
The presence of a band
with a vocalist added greatly
to the pleasure of those who
stood in line so patiently. The
musicians come from Kit-
chener and are campers at
the Old Homestead Trailer
Camp.
Tom and Carol now know
how the Royal family feel
after a day of shaking
hands! Carol's many friends
will be relieved to know that
she took a brief holiday with
Tom's aunt, Mrs. Marie
Scott of St. Thomas when
they joined a bus tour to the
Adirondacks before the big
day. Someone expressed our
pride in the Penhale family
by posting a sign reading
"Tom Penhale was born
here!"
XXX
The Reverend and Mrs.
Alun Thomas are being
entertained before leaving
our community for Sun-
dridge, Ontario. A potluck
luncheon was held at the
Anglican rectory, when the
clergy from Bayfield, Clin-
00 see
ton and Varna came
representing the Anglican,
Roman Catholic, United and
Baptist churches. The good
ecumenical feeling we now
enjoy in Bayfield has been
fostered by Mr. Thomas and
each denomination regrets
his moving to a new field of
service.
XXX
The films shown on Mon-
day evening referring to Bat-
tered Wives and the services
available to them at the
recently opened Crisis Cen-
tre was supported by the
congregations of St. An-
drew's United and Trinity
Anglican churches. Already
nine families have taken
refuge there and donations
of food of a non-perishable
type are badly needed. Any
of our clergymen will gladly
take your gifts to the centre.

The Lioness are once
again sponsoring the
registration for swimming

supper in the lovely garden
of the Reverend Douglas and
Elisabeth Pitts. The group
plans a revival of the Trinity
Garden Party, so much en-
joyed in earlier days. It will
be held as the tradition is on
the lawns at the Rectory
where the Rector Gordon
Rey :folds and Barbara and
Beth\are striving to find the
plant treasures lurking
there. Canon Paull was a
keen gardener and some fine
iris are blooming there now.
The date is August 20.
Penhales make
history in Bayfield.
The Bayfield Historical
Society meeting was held on
June 15 at the home of Erma
and Rae Fraser with more
than 60 members present.
The group visited Tom
Penhale's shop to view the
Walt Disney World wagon
which was nearing comple-
tion. Everyone was impress-
ed with its beauty'.
The members returned to
Frasers where a potluck sup-
per had been laid out. Erma
Fraser, Kelly Ball, Doris
Reddoch, Betty Burch, and
Sandra Land arranged the
food.
President Ed. Oddleifson
opened the meeting. There
was a report from the Pro-
gram Committee by Elva
Metcalf as follows:
July — History of the
McNaughton family in the
Bayfield area.
August — Ethel Poth and
her slides on early Main
Street businesses.
September — B. Evans -
Ministry of Natural
Resources - Wingham.
October — Open.
November — Excerpts
from Canon Paull's diary
1914-1918.
The President then in-
troduced the M2.fn' c'r�ft-
srnan Torn Penhale who in
turn introduced the Walt
Disney World people -
designer Dave Marquis and
artist Art Green.
'Mr. Marquis held the at-
tention of the audience with
his account of the search for
a suitable wagon or builder.
After visiting Bayfield and
seeing the fine work of Mr.
Penhale and comparing it
with numerous other wagons
they easily decided to let the
contract to Tom.
With a deadline of June 20
to meet it meant day and
night work to get it ready for
the painters. Mr. Marquis
produced the designs and
Mr. Green worked them onto
the wagon which will be ship-
ped to Calgary for its first of-
ficial showing in the
Stampede Parade.
Both the Walt Disney
World men were high in their
praise of the friendly recep-
tion in Bayfield.
Dave Marquis concluded
his talk by passing around
some beautiful pictures of
Epcot.
The President thanked the
speaker for such an in-
teresting talk especially on
such short notice.

sant popular event.
practical joke, costly loss
Practical jokes are only
funny to the jokers, but the
fake call to our Bayfield
Firefighters at 2:30 a.m. on
June 18 was a very, very
serious offenc0: , Not only
were our men called out to
the Paul Bunyan Camp, los-
ing much needed sleep but
the village was unprotected
for that length of time.
Respirators could have
been needed for an accident
victim or a sick child, a
home lost through delay.
The cost to the taxpayers
of between $500 and $600 for
some silly pranksters will
not be forgotten and anyone
involved in such tricks
should be warned that they
are not only liable for heavy
fines but could be given a
prison term. Hardly worth it
for the sick momentary fun
the young woman who called
enjoyed. The village is in-
censed at this tasteless act.

hopes that you will support
Bud in this big job as you did
them. Save your excess
treasures for the big night at
the arena.

Rev. Alun Thomas will
conduct his last service of
worship in St. Andrew's
United Church on Sunday
morning, June 26.
The congregation is plann-
ing an affectionate farewell

raediately following the ser-
vice. We wish them God's
blessing as they move on to
Sundridge to continue their

Valerie Merner won the
lamp. The money from the
sale of the tickets went to
help support Youth Music
Canada, which is a Lioness
project.
On June 19 the club had a
Bike-a-thon and the full
route was 20 miles, each
round being two miles. The
weather was perfect and
members had fun convening
it.
The bikers ranged in age •
from four years (Terry Mad -
son) to a Senior Citizen, who
wishes to remain
anonymous.
The money from the Bike-
a-thon goes to the Arena
Fund. Congratulations to the
ever -faithful bikers and
thanks to all who helped in
anyway.

Can a corn* in Fall
By Helen Owen
The project of the Bayfield
Lioness to sponsor four con-
certs organized by Youth
and Music Canada this fall is
a new and exciting venture.
As Mrs. Wyn Graham ex-
plained, .'This time, instead
of asking something from
the community we are offer-
ing something. A unique op-
portunity for the village to
enjoy a special type of enter-
tainment as well as support
the development of young
Canadian professional musi-
cians."
usi-
cians."
Youth and Music Canada,
initiated in 1949, has four
main aims: the introduction
of music into the lives • of
young Canadians, develop-
ing and channelling their
aspirations, fostering their
careers and promoting the
works of Canadian com-
posers. Since then the move-
ment has grown, spanning
the country from Halifax to
Vancouver with over 75 par-
ticipating centres.
Subsequent to the 'Man and
Music' pavilion at Expo '67
the work has been extended
to include the publication of
educational materials and
the provision of musical
workshops and camps.
As sponsors the Lioness
will have to pay the produc-
tion expenses with
assistance from the Arts
Council, and the proceeds
from the concerts will be put
back towards next year's
project.
On October 18 the
Tapestry Singers will start
off the series with a unique
program ranging from
madrigals, to jazz, from
Broadway to opera. These
young professionals with
their extensive touring ex-
perience, including a Euro-
pean debut in the spring of
1983, promise an evening to
satisfy a wide variety of
tastes.
The second concert on
November 22 presents an
ensemble comprising violin,
French horn and piano.
Known as Trio Caecilia these
gifted and individually
acknowledged musicians
have already received wide
acclaim in England,
Belgium and Canada.
Described as magical, en-
chanting and devilish, rang-
ing from romantic to avant
garde, the duo on flute and
guitar promise a fascinating
wening on h'eb: ,nary 7,19:x.
Finally, the concert on
March 27 will feature an
outstanding young artist
whose solo piano work had
already received wide ac-
claim and academic recogni-
tion.
This series of concerts per-
formed by young profes-
sional musicians is certainly
a plus for the residents of
Bayfield who will be able to
enjoy performances by such
high calibre exponents in the
environs of their own village.
In addition the project
enables the ongoing aims of
the organizers to be
perpetuated, and offers a
unique opportunity to sup-
port the careers and poten-
tial of young Canadian musi-
cians.
Tickets are already
available from Mrs. Graham
and other Lioness members,
and it is hoped that there will
be an encouraging response
to this very worthwhile ven-
ture.

Knighthawks lead division
The Bayfield Knighthawks
strengthened their hold on
their north division lead of
the South Huron Slo-Pitch
League with a 12-2 victory of
the Bayview Blue Bombers
on June 16 at Agriculture
Park in Bayfield.
The Blue B( n2bers played
a very strong game con-
sidering the fact that they
had only nine players in at-
tendance at the game and
the score doesn't really in-
dicate the play.
The Bombers started
strongly with two quick runs
in the first inning but the
Knighthawks mixture of
super defensive and timely
hitting began to take over as
they recorded their sixth vic-
tory against no losses.
On June 15 at Agriculture
Park, the Bayfield Flyers
lost a close game to the
Bluewater Lakes 7-5.
The Flyers started strong-
ly as they opened a 5-2 lead
