The meeting was then turned over to Grant Turner, the outgoing president, who thanked the Bayfield Lioness for the banquet. With the statement, "There always has to be a loser and there always has to be a win- ner ", he began distributing the prizes for the 1981 season, playoffs and bonspiel to the various recipients.

In her opening address, in- coming president Barb Sturgeon said she hoped the new executive could do "half as well as others have done in the past and hoped that members with any problems concerning the operation of the dub would bring them forward to the executive". So ended another suc- cessful program sponsored by the Bayfield Mixed Curl- ing Club with memories of one Chuck Pruss applying the old `spit' technique to the rocks to make them go bet- ter and the opposition pro- viding Joyce Mcllwain with a triple before the final game, but they won anyways. Historians hear CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, THURSDAY, MARCH 5 , 1961—PAGE 11 Victoria .Street's history is a buyer's warning As a prelude to their February meeting, the Bayfield Historical Society members enjoyed an ap- petizing supper at the Albion Hotel on Monday night. A sleigh ride had also been planned but the weather literally put a 'damper', on that! The speaker for the evening had begged to be excused the formalities of an introduction, and indeed, this was unnecessary, as Mrs. Myrtle Robinson is a well-known Bayfield resident. Her talk was based on the history of Victoria Street, which at a meeting of the Village Council on December 15, 1980, became the responsibility of the village. Tracing the story back to its beginnings, Mrs.. Robinson referred" -to a plan of March 1860, at which time' the street was shown as being 99 ft. wide, and divided .into 24 lots intwo series of 12. A tax sale in 1938 revealed that six lots had been pur- chased unchased for $57.60 and the following year an indenture covered the sale of a further seven lots for$1.! In 1947, John Tillman acquired several lots together with the street allowance at which time he was also anxious to acquire the right of way, the road having been closed in ac- cordance with a By -Law of Stanley Township. A survey was made for a cost of $68 and land clearnace com- menced. Qutoing ..costs of materials, Mrs. Robinson remarked on how prices had escalated - caps and cement for the pillars were recorded as .827.50 in 1949, whereas 'today the east of restoring one such pillar had been in Playoffs coming up The same old Rink Mice tried their same old tricks on Saturday night, but the Oldtimers whacked them by a 14-7 score. Although the Smedsmo brothers were called up from the minor leagues to bolster the rosters, both teams suffered from a chronic lack of players as the season fast draws to a close. Next game will decide the playoff schedule. .`/ 1.is espay u. A joint meeting of the two groups of St. Andrew's United Church Women was held on Tuesday. evening last week,. when the losers of the annual penny collection contest treated the winners to an excellent dinner. At the dinner, Mrs. Irene Easton, daughter of Mrs. Nellie McRae, presented her mother's beautiful tea service and tray to the UCW. It was given by Mrs. Easton, and her sister, Mrs. Jean Laforme of London, in memory of their mother, whose recent death had saddened UCW members. Nellie was the secretary of 'St. Pat's party planned The Parents' Committee to the Guide and Scout move- ment in the village held their first regular meeting on February 26 at the United Church with nine members attending.

During the meeting which followed, the educational part was conducted by Margaret Scotchmer, assisted by Lulu Smith and Jean Greer. A life mem- bership pin and certificate were presented to Eleanor Watson by Doris Reddoch. In presenting the pin, Mrs. Reddoch explained the significance of the symbols displayed thereon, which represented the denominations of the churches who had joined to form the United Church. UCW President, Betty Burch, gave notice of the World Day of Prayer service to be held at Trinity Anglican Church on Friday March 6th.

Jean Millie contributed vocal numbers accompanied on the piano by Mollie Cox. the area of $250. Eventually in 1950, Mr. Tillman acquired the deed of the road from Stanley Township. A new element entered into the road situation in 1969, when what had become known as the Peggy_ Acres water system was_offered for sale to the lot owners on a share basis a:. $200. per share. This scheme was rejected and in July of the ,same year, the water rights were sold to Mr. Schefter. Eight years later, Mr. Samways acquired the road, and here it should be noted that the cast of a survey which had cost $68 in 1948, had now increased to $1,100! The reason for this survey was for the purpose of in- stalling a tile bed. However, the scheme meant denial of access to two lots -as well as bisection of others. For- tunately for the lot owners, the building permit was refused and the application rejected by the Board of Health. Thus it was in 1978 that a letter was sent to Bayfield Village Council proposing the expropriation of Victoria Street. This was brought about as the result of a negotiation between Mr. Samways and Mrs. Robinson, the cost of the transaction being $6,000. And so, following the Round about • from page 10 Bill and Ruth Latimer and daughter Amanda, Weston, were the weekend guests of Mrs. Ethel Knight at her Louisa Street residence.

Concluding her talk, which was admirably illustrated by plans and documents, Mrs. Robinson said she hoped, if nothing else, that the story of Victoria Street would prove a salutary warning to potential property buyers. She also presented to the tott 9. 0 Archives of the Bayfield Historical Society, all the plans and documents which covered the various tran- sactions. Brigadier Morgan Snaith thanked Mrs. Robinson for her most interesting ac - cant, and for the valuable contribution to the Historical Society's Archives, and also referred to another valuable collection of papers found in the attic of Mark's farm which she had also given to the Society.
