The Siddall and McGraw tugs had gotten out of Goderich Harbour on Thursday by following a freighter out of port. The Ferroclad was about ten minutes behind the odn_on. Tlsday-a*nd_was unable to reach open water as the ice closed in too quickly behind the freighter. The Siddall tug spent the night docked in Grand Bend, however, they reported catching a ton of whitefish on ery by Helen Owen Pursuing their policy of in- itiating a pottery group in Bayfield, five of the potential members spent a busy Fri- day afternoonseeking prac- tical information with regard to their project. Their first call was at the Beechwood Potteries near Friday. The McGraw boat also had a good catch and made Bayfield early in the evening. Don had the Ferroclada., ready on Friday afternoon and when another freighter left Goderich, he followed it to the open water although the ' ice closed in rapidly around them again. He reported that most of the ice has disappeared from the lake and they had an easy trip to Bayfield, arriving about 4:30 p.m. The ice around the piers at-BayfieId had the appearnace of being heavy but it turned out to be mostly slush and the Ferroclad cut through it with little difficulty. They planned to make their first set on Saturday. rotting tee on Friday. The commercial season is in full swing with some excellent catches reported. (Bud Sturgeon photo) Around and a Cam and Darlene Rider have moved into the village (last Friday) and are living in the former Percy Renner house across the street from the Municipal Building. The couple purchased the house a short time ago. Jim Hannebury, St. Marys, was a guest of Evelyn and Jack Sturgeon last Thursday. Jim says the fish weren't biting, but it was tl mice day to lay beside the river anyway. I hear through the grapevine that there was a were -wolf on the loose in Bayfield during the latest' version of the full moon. The last time I looked was on Saturday and the moon appeared to be in 'quarter'. Stranger things have 'hap= pend Ronald --and Mar•istine .,. Knight, Toronto, were guests of his mother, Mrs. Ethel Knight, on Friday and Saturday of last week. After celebrating a gala birthday party a week earlier, Mrs. Ethel Knight out the village streets returned home from Toronto late last week. Greg and Emmily Nielsen, Landon, took a break from the hectic pace of city life and spent the weekend at their. cottage north of the village. For all the CBers that might recall these profound characters that diminated the air waves in the Bayfield area a year or two ago, I ran into the King Neptune up at the Nip 'n' Tuck on Sunday night last. The King was up for the weekend from Toronto visiting with friends. I inquired of the health of his radio pals and he said 10=4, the Cookieman is well and still in Chatham and the Baby Dragon is the same as ever. The lads should have the old Summertime Base back-innoperation before long and everyone can wag their tongues on the radio all summer long. The Big Bear will be back too.

Gary Hulley, Paris, and BAYFIELD by Bud Sturgeon and Helen Owen nglican auction raises '281 Instead of the usual mon- thly meeting on Thursday last, the Anglican Church Women decided to hold an auction sale to implement their funds for 1981. - This . - venture .. -was an outstanding success and had the advantage of being something, in which everyone could participate. Items donated were col- lected in the Parish Hall the morning of the sale, numbered and catalogued. At 2 p.m., after the open- ing prayers, the sale was underway. An invitation had been extended to all members of the congrega- tion and this added support certainly helped to swell the proceeds, as well as the in- centive to bid offered by some of the generous gifts donated for the sale. The Rev. George Youmatoff undertook the role of auctioneer at the last moment owing to the .in- disposition of Miss Kay Reid. He entered into the part with his usual zest and in no time at all the very varied collec- tion of items was reaching good prices with plenty of competitive bidding. By the end of the after- noon, 86 lots had been dispos- ed of and buyers (surround- ed by their bargains) stayed to enjoy the refreshments p sees �ther operatzons St. Columban, a cominercial undertaking. Not only were they warmly welcomed, but were given a tour of the studio and a lot of helpful in- formation. They arrived in time to see a kiln being unloaded. Their hosts discussed with Locaiartist holds exhibition An exhibition of the work of Bayfield artist, Leda McAlister is on show at the Public. Library in Goderich from April 7 to 21 during nor- mal library' hours. Entitled "Litho Plus" this exhibition comprises 20 or so lithographs illustrating sea gulls, grasses, old buildings, and conveyances. But these are not straight lithographs and the "Plus" is expressed in the additional hand finishing which includes con- te pastels, water colours and collage. The variety of ef- fects achieved by the addi- tion of one or the other of these media provides the viewer with an opportunity to appreciate the individuali- ty accentuated in these inter- pretations. Many readers, no doubt, will already have had an op- portunity of viewing Mrs. McAlister's work at "The Gallery on the Bluff" (one mile north of the bridge, Bayfield), and anyone in- terested in acquiring one of the exhibits from the Goderich show should con- tact her at 482-1981. them the different aspects of the operation and made sug- gestions on equipment in \\t elation to their anticipated needs, as well as advising them of difficulties which they might encounter. These included rising costs of equipment and materials, shortcomings to avoid and differences between com- mercial and non- commercial operations. The next call was on the Potters Guild of Stratford. Here again they were shown over the studio and this time had an opportunity to watch a kiln being loaded with glazeware. This group has a resident manager, and being a community project work- ing in the community, of- fered the visitors a chance to consider a different ap- proach.

The Guild is fortunate in that it received encourage- ment from the community in which it operates, and has - also extended its activities to running a class for children, which apparently is very popular. Once again useful advice on types of equip- ment, materials and supply sources was provided.
