(James Fitzgerald photo) by Helen Owen Book Club continues to attract worms tile Bayfield Book Club group has now completed its second year - and there is no evidence of any lack of en- thusiasm! Each month a book is selected, provided by the Huron County Library. The members each go off with their copy, read it and return to review it at the monthly meeting, which is held at the Bayfield Library. These meetings are always stimulating, often controversial, but everyone is given an opportunity to comment. On an average, ten opinions are offered and one of the most interesting aspects is the variety of ap- proaches to reading which are revealed. Because of this, each member con- tributes in a different way and thereby broadens the ap- preciation, or otherwise, of their contemporaries. Nor Council looks at arena... debentures All members were present when the Council met on September 8th. Clarification was requested in connection with the newspaper report of the meeting on August 17th. The first referred to a re- quest,which had been receiv- ed in connection with the paving of Glass. Street. ' Although this itemhad been noted for- consideration in the preparation of the 1982 budget, no firm commitment was made, `At . the Same meeting,. Council reported that.floating of debentures in connection with the Com- munity centre on-munityce>tre had been in vestigated. However, at this time •no action was to Abe taken in this direction, and the present existing loan ar- rangements were. being con. trued . Cle_ rk Trreasurer • Pat c r�' tlbnstotfad= visei .f ounei1 that ',a cam-, paign to raise' funds on behalf of the Community Centre was,under way. A let- ter had been prepared and would be circulatedto all rate payers and residents in the fire area board seeking their support. One family had already contributed $1500. John Siertsema had retired as chairman of the Community Centre Board, and Councillor Johnston had now assumed the chairman- ship. Reviewing the position which showed the present debt outstanding as $65,000, Councillor Johnston em- phasized that the Lions and Lioness continued their ef- forts to offset this. Unfor- tunately, their efforts were undermined by the current interest rates which absorb- ed their - contributions without making a great deal of difference to the outstanding debt. Reeve George Fellows ex- pressed appreciation of the tremendous amount of work which Mr. Siertsema had contributed, and offered Councillor Johnston good wishes in tackling this new undertaking. Passing on to the cor- respondence, Councillor Wilson had studied the pro- posals of the Garden Club, submitted at the last meeting. These related to the flower bed in Clan Gregor Square, landscaping, trees and removal of tree stumps. It was agreed that the flower bed should be aban- doned, the walnut trees taken out and posts inserted. Some information had been acquired about the removal of stumps and estimates were to be obtained, follow- ing which Mr. Penhale would oversee this project. Further discussion ensued on the sub- ject of trees which presented a hazard and it was em- phasized that although safe- ty was a priority, no live trees on village property could be touched without the authorization of Council. Jack Willock, President of the Garden Club, had in- vestigated the 'tree offer' but felt,that the Club was not in a position to order in suffi- ient quantity. He also reiterated the fact that the Garden Club were only com- mitted to the replacement of sugar maples in Clan Gregor Square. Referring to the report of Frank McFadden, village representative on the Ausable-Bayfield Con- servation Authority, the Reeve advised Council that they were invited to be pre- sent on September 9th to meet Mr. T.B. Prout in con- nection with the engineering project to counteract ero- sion. Comprehensive material had been received covering the Ontario Municipal Energy' Programme. Coun- cillor Wilson was asked to peruse this with particular reference to the Community Centre, Town Hall and Fire Hall, and to present some broad outlines, with special reference to oil con- servation, at the next• dilion, it was a-� ' to support 'the Huron County Federation of Agriculture in' their effort to emphasize: the present crisis in the agricultural industry. All complaints with regard to tax assessment hadnow been heeaard by the Assess- ment Review Board and ac- tion would be taken in accor- dance with their requests. • A letter had been received from the Ratepayer's Association asking that a public meeting in connection with the new village survey should be postponed until at least the Spring. The Reeve stated that the public would be welcome to discuss the subject with council at the next meting on September 17th, although it was highly unlikely that any public hearing will take place before next year. Councillor Johnston reported that the investiga- tion of the windows in the municipal building had revealed serious problems with the woodwork. He pro- posed that tenders should be obtained for replacement, but as a temporary measure the windows should be covered in the meantime. Making a presentation to the council Messrs. Beakhust, . Bunn and Erb drew the attention of council to the unsightly storage of miscellaneous items on the roadway allowance border- ing their, respective' proper- ties. In view of the long history of the, complaints, and the fact that it was the first time that the present council had been approach- ed, it was decided that the whole situation would be reviewed in order that they might familiarize themselves with all the rele- vant details. A report on their findings was promised Win two months' time. Another . presentation made by Mr. Wm. Talbot related to a property line problem. The reeve pointed out that since this referred to private property it was not a matter for council. However,. it was agreed to check on the building permit related to the structure in question. Council agreed, to repairs to the tractor, since alter- natives would be too costly at the present time, and agreement was also given for the purchase of a small chain saw. Councillor Pemberton reporting on the subject of student labour for next sum- mer advised council that applications were required by October 8th. She was aksed to pursue the matter together with represen- tatives from the Pioneer Park Association and the Garden Club, who were also interested in sharing in such a project. Commenting on the pile up of picnic tables - something which seems to have become an end of the summer tradi- tion - the reeve thanked Mr. Penhale for his prompt demolition of this dangerous structure. The general con- dition of Clan Gregor Square and the steps taken to main- tain it throughout the season had met with much com- plimentary comment. The next meeting of the Council will take place on Thursday, September 17th at 7:00 p.m. ABC bridge Seventeen - players were out and made up four tables. Ruby Uniac made the highest score with 5740. Phyllis Heard was second with 5630, pretty close! • Dorothy West hit the low with:}1890. ,. - New citizens On Thursday, September 10th, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Beakhust of Bayfield, at- tended the Court in London in order to take the oath of citizenship. . This was the final stage of the procedure which had in- volved careful study of the country, its resources and legislation, as well as per- sonal interviews to assess eligibility. The ceremony, at which 52 candidates were present from 16 countries, was car- ried out by Judge Elaine Pensa. Commenting on the occasion Mrs. Beakhust said that she had been most im- pressed by the quiet dignity of the proceedings. Mr. and Mrs. Beakhust have now lived in Canada for over five years and felt that this was a step that they would like to take. does' it stop there, for fre- quently the content of a book will encourage the reader to explore the subject iri greater depth. This year's selection hays covered history, ancient; contemporary and social, biography, the exploration of human problems, Cahadiana and ballet. In some in- stances, it has been a renewal of old acquaintance, in others it has been a reflec- tion of personal experience, and in yet others has opened doors to new areas of in- terest. There have been times when the book chosen has, on first glance, seemed unlikely to meet with much of a response. But, in fact, this never happens, A 'fre- quent comment is: "I would never have read that from choice, but now I'm so glad I did." Because of the different backgrounds and ex- periences of the group, each provides a very personal contribution. Their assessments and criticisms are based on a diversity of criteria ranging from story interest, characterization, literary content' and style. Consequently, the group flourishes and looks forward to its third year with un- diminished enthusiasm. Bill . Partridge, Librarian from Goderich, sometimes attends the meetings and seems to enjoy the con- troversy and objective criticism which is displayed. The group are also grateful to Bayfield Librarian, Maud Weston, who ensures the distribution of the book each month.

Thank you very much. A busy .day I've washed, I,'ve ironed, I've scrubhed the floors, I've shined the knobs on all the doors. I've mended rips, sewn on buttons, Baked a cake for little gluttons. I've polished silver, darned the socks, Answered numerous salesmen's knocks. Busily I've wielded duster, Windows gleam with diamond lustre. I've swept the fluff from every nook, I've even partly read a book. Perhaps you wonder wherein lies The secret of such enterprise; Do I have great power of will, Or is it some new super pill? You're wrong if thatis what you think; The television's on the blink! - by Mary A. Shepherd.
