President, Miss Kay Reid, conducted the business pro- ceedings and reminded members that the June meeting would, take the form of a pot luck supper at the home of the Rev. and Mrs. Douglas Pitts. Mr. Frank Burch introduc- ed`. the speaker, Miss Margaret McGregor, his wife's cousin. She had always been .a keen Seaforth to get new police chief SI A,FOR1 -.

The quality of her work was evidenced by a delightful picture of hers which had been used recent- ly as the cover of a photographic magazine Camera Canada. This por- trayed part of the Mustard Farm,, the home of the photographer's great- grandfather, who had settled there in 1840. Miss McGregor entitled her talk Rural Nostalgia and her presentation of slide essays accompanied by com- mentaries ommentaries provided an unusual and fascinating evening. The first called Fences in- troduced the viewers to a series of delightful glimpses of the wide variety of fencing used, from •old tree roots, stone walls, snake fencing to modern electrified wire. The pictures, taken with a keen appreciation of the natural settings, evoked nostalgic I'ecoliections for many of the audience. Based op a poem by Robert Frost, The Last Mow- ing; Miss McGregor epitomized the essence of the verse. As she read the words, line by line, her sen- sitive pictures captured the theme - the neglected meadow, the colorful prof u- sion of wild flowers and ultimately the, reclamation by a resolute growth of new trees. The next essay concerned a building. Miss McGregor told her audience the story of Sharon Temple and the Children of Peace. These pictures captured the detail- ed philosophy of the Quaker group, who in 1825, under the leadership of David Wilson, had built the church. Every detail was a testament to the principles of this break away group, whose feeling for music had resulted in the split. The square white, three -storied building with windows on all sides Is now a museum. The tradition for musical excellence survives as demonstrated by the pic- tures of the outdoor concerts now annual events. Other highlights included the beautiful hand-crafted Ark, the centrepiece of the Tem- ple, the well preserved home Bayfield United news The Youth Choir from Kingsway • Lambton United Church in Toronto, is taking part in the Sunday morning service at Bayfield United Church on Sunday, May 31 at 11 a.m. All welcome.

At one time, Miss McGregor told her au- dience, a candle was placed in each pane and people came from miles around to see this original and in- spiring , illumination. The sense of peace and benedic- tion, a heritage from the past, was captured in a most remarkable way by Miss McGregor's treatment of the subject. In the next pictures of Up- per Canada Village and Pioneer Village in Toronto, the costumes, environment and furnishings of a bygone day, came vividly to life. Miss McGregor's skillful use of background, a spinning wheel framing the profile of the spinner for example, ad- ded a further dimension to this record of domestic life as it had been. Everyday tasks involving animals revealed another aspect, the sad implication of the dog churn. A delicate touch in the old mill which brought the whole thing to lite, was a ginger cat curled up on a window sill, dozing in the sunshine.,The old schoolhouse aptures for to- day's children the education offered to their grand- parents, since it is possible for groups to spend a week experiencing those bygone days. The final series of pictures took the audience outdoors into the Great Smoky Moun- tain . National Park. The abundance and variety of wild flowers portrayed as well as the magnificent scenic shots took the au- dience on a trip of this area, from a lookout post some 6643 feet high to the verdant and fertile vallies below, in- terspersed•with abandoned log cabins. The last slide was a copy of a letter to a young, woman instructing her on how to cope with the weekly wash - a far cry from the washers and dryers of to- day! Mrs. Elva Metcalf thanked the speaker. There were, she said, artists, writers and a poets who captured scenery and atmosphere, but Miss McGregor's pictures con- tained a strong artistic ap- preciation of everything she saw, and this was most cer- tainly conveyed to her au- dience. The meeting closed with refreshments served by Mrs. Doris Reddoch, Mrs. Marg Mayman and Mrs. Marie Watson.
