Reg. Wilson, a former Councillor, and runner-up in the last elections was asked to serve for the remainder of the term, and .F Council unanimously agreed to appoint him. He was duly sworn in by Pat Graham, the clerk - treasurer and took his seatat the Council table. The Reeve reminded the councillors that if there was any matter in the agenda which presented a conflict of interest, they should declare it. The minutes as tabled were approved and ac- cepted The request for a donation from the Alexandra Hospital, Goderich received at the last meeting was covered by a presentation made by Bob Dempsey, the campaign chairman, who was accompanied by Gerry Ginn of the Hospital Board. He explained that at a meeting between the doctors and the board of directors, the present inadequacies had been identified with par- ticular reference to intensive care. As an example he quoted that the standard provincial bed space for one bed in such a ward com- prised accommodation for four, beds under exiagng conditions! -Equipment was out -dated and in some cases beyond repair. Nevertheless admissions had reached 2,218, of which 38 had been Bayfield residents. In formulating the appeal percentages based on ad- missions had been used. Mr. Dempsey, therefore asked Council to consider a con- tribition on two per cent usage in the form of $1,200 over a period of three years, and similar appeals had already been made to other townships and municipalities with en- couraging results. Additionally, door to door collections had been proposed, which it was estimated would raise a further sum of $1,000, making a total of $2,200. The total cost of the project had been given as $495,000 of which hospital reserve funds would cover $245,000. A further factor emphasizing the need was that 17 per cert of admission were to the intensive care unit, who would otherwise have to be taken the 60 miles to London. In conclusion Mr. Dem- psey asked for Council's consideration of the proposals which had been made and thanked theirs for the opportunity he had been given to present them. Since the budget for 1981 was closed there was no way in which any further com- mitments could be en- tertained. However, Council promised to consider the proposals, fully recognizing the needs, whilst bearing in mind Obligations which their decisions might impose on future Council policy,, Whilst on the subject of donations, Council approved $25 for the work of the mentally retarded. Three readings of the new by-law covering the for- mation of the L.A.C:A.C. committee for the village were approved and passed. This by-law involved amendment of two previous ones. The new committee would be made up of two representatives of the council, two representatives of the Ratepayer's Association and two from the Business. Peoples' Association - with power to co-opt if necessary. Copies of the amended original plan were being obtained for circulation to those concerned. Summing up, the Reeve emphasized that this was a serious matter relative to the con- servation of the heritage, character and nature of the village. It also hoped that it was now clearly understood that the role of the L.A.C.A.C. Committee was strictly advisory, serving the community as a whole by offering guidance and liaison when necessary. Part of the original grant would be transferred to an account for the commitee's use. Concern was expressed with re s. rd to the life saving equipment which had been stolen from the piers. Since this was essential and might well be essential in emergencies, steps would be taken to see that it was replaced with the provision of suitable life belts and rope, the latter to be donated by Councillor John Chap- man. It was regretted that souvenir hunters and van- dals should jeopardize life by their thoughtless mis- appropriation of such ap- paratus. Councillor Johnston told the Council of the steps which had been taken to deal with the serious problem of rbage in Clan Gregor Square. The esisting bins had been moved in for the benefit ..of picnickers and a large bin provided for casual deposits, since these seemed to, represent a large proportion of rubbish which accumulated. There were twice weekly collections but even so they still could not, cope with the mess. Fo r the next two weeks, the large container would be in a more prominent. position by the Fire Hall and large notices would be displayed indicating its location. Council were well aware of the complaints, and even more aware of the work and expense involved in en- deavouring to keep the situation under control. It was frustrating and discouraging that the general public showed so little concern in these matters, and it was hoped that drawing attention to the efforts being made would awaken some degree of public conscience. As reported following the last meeting, Councillor Johnston had set out proposals for public use of village buildings, and in the interim had met with 14 representatives of the 16 groups concerned. As a result, Council agreed that the facilities of the Municipal Building and the Town Hall should be made available to village groups and organizations for non-profit purposes entirely free of charge. If any profit-making scheme were entered into, then a fee would be required. It was further agreed that premises should be left in clean and tidy condition acceptable to the village clerk... Any abuse would. result in the curtailment of use. All organizations would. be required to give notice of dates and•Jtimes of meetings. so that occupancy could be monitored - such information to be supplied to the Clerk. It was felt that in some instances a fee schedule should be introduced, and this was agreed as follows: town hall, minimum of $25 to a maximum of $75, the range to be at the discretion of the clerk and the proposed usage. For the Municipal building, the fee would run from a minimum of $20 to a maximum of $50 based on the sa me assessment Correspondence includeda letter from the Ministry of Intergovernmental Affairs regarding property tax, billing and collection and also notice that the Ontario Government was to allow municipalities to revise Turn to page 11 By Bud Sturgeon Mrs. D.

(Bud Sturgeon photo) It's fair time again A meeting of the Bayfield Agricultural Society .was held in the Municipal Building on July 14th when the plans for the Fair to be held on August 28th and August 29th, were discussed.

However, that was remedied Saturday July 11, when their daughters and sons-in-law from Ottawa, invited some 60 guests to a 'Surprise Party', And it really was a surprise - the guests of honour knew nothing about it until they received an invitation late on Friday night!

There was a further surprise in store when the Rev.

Following the short service, they were presented with a certificate to commemorate the occasion, signed by all the guests. Following the toast, the family then produced an excellent meal - and a magnificent cake. Apart from the many friends in the village, guests also included a nephew, Mr. Brian Leeson, and his wife and baby daughter from St. Mary's and old friends Mr. and Mrs. Ron McKinlay from Barrie. A permanent record of the occasion was a family pic- ture of ,the Rev and Mrs. Youmatoff, their eldest daughter Olga, her husband Major Peter Mackenzie and their five children, Kate, Judy, Ia.i, Colin and Jamie; their daughter Theo and her husband Lt.

Trinity baked goods sell out in less than. half -an -hour What can be more tem- pting on a hot summer's day than the opportunity to purchase home baked goods? And there was no doubt that the idea was popular last Saturday morning when a queue rapidly formed outside the Parish Hall of Trinity Church. Appreciative "oohs" greeted the ladies bringing their goods to go on sale. No sooner were the doors opened than the crowd descended upon the laden tables, the `regulars' ob- viously knowing just what they wanted. There was a delicious smell of freshly baked bread and crusty fruit pies. Although the tables were, as always, well stocked, it was amazing how quickly the goods disap- peared and triumphant purchasers made their way to the door carefully balancing armfuls of pies, cakes and tarts. Within half an hour, there was little left of the original bountifuldisplay, and latecomers gwdcly absorbed the few remaining items. Although the sale was so ABC bridge club results Four tables were out again last week when the group met - and a mysterious coding system seems to have been introduced, in the recording of results!
