George Youmatoff. Frank Burch and Ernie Hovey were appointed as auditors. The business part .of the meeting concluded. Miss Reid there asked Canon F.H. Paull to introduce the speaker fpr the afternoon, the Rev. Douglas Pitts, who with his wife Elizabeth had been living in the village for the past two years. However, as Canon ,Paull went on to point out, the Rev. Pitts first came to Bayfield as a boy when his father was the Anglkan Reser, and the rectory of those days which had been their home, was in fact, the house in which Canon . Paull now lived himself. Although over the years the Rev. Pitts had lived in Western Canada and the United States he had constantly returned to Bayfield and now lived on the lake. The Rev. Pitts memories of Bayfield extended back to his childhood days, when he recalled travelling to Bayfield from Brucefield by stage coach. His early school days (when he wasn't at - tenting to run away) were spent at the old school house where Jessie Blair and her tether were his fellow pupils. Describing life in the rectory of these times it had little of the comfort of present day living, although was considered to be ex- clusive in that it was the only household that could boast a `three -hole?! The stipend of an Anglican rector in those days was X25- per annum. 'Thus nothing was ever wasted. The grounds around the rectory were put to good use providing grazing ground for a horseof rather a troublesome temperament, appropriately called Satan. Other livestock included chickens, and in the spring suckling pigs arrived to be fattened up for fall but- chering. The latter occasion, according to the Rev. Pitts was a lively event and although somewhat noisy and gory, it had its com- pensations. One of the delights et childhood had been the collection of milk in a honey pail, not always satisfactory, since experiments of a scientific nature to "swing the pail without losing the contents were not always successful. The cannon which at that time was mounted in the old square had, perhaps, been the equivalent of the furnishings of today's adventure playground. Other highlights of those days described by the Rev. Pitts were a ride in'a motor car which attained the amazing speed of 45 miles per hour; and a somewhat unsatisfactory financial transaction involving the outlay of 29 cents to purchase a lamb. Although this deal was concluded, the lamb was never able to leave its mother a fact the purchaser had not taken into account before parting with his money. On a more serious note, Rev. Pitts remembered his little sister Mary, a diabetic in the days when no effective treatment had evolved. A young doctor at the hospital offered to undertake her care, but her parents felt that their own doctor should be retained. It was ironical that in later years, after Mary's death, the young doctor became well-known - Dr. Frederick Banting, one of the pioneers in the. treatment of diabetes. ' Thanking the speaker foe his recollections of childhood days, the Rev. George Youmatoff emphasized how fortunate the village was in the people' who remembered the village as it had been, Before the meeting ad- journed a presentation was made to Archivist, Miss Dorothy Cox.
