Don,McLeod and his crew
aboard the tug Ferroclad
were the first to enter
Bayfield Harbour this
season, as they pulled into
their regular docking spot
late on Friday afternoon.
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.

night docked in Grand Bend,

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.

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

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

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.
Membership in this group

members, who come and go

are regular members who
attend and carry out their
work when the studio is be-

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-

sources was provided.
