Some people were away on that day, but nevertheless, will Wish to contribute. Among the items that are welcomed are household items,.: craft materials, children's books and toys and;clothing. Don't forget - start getting'things together now: ; Gardeners honor founding president with special sward Highlight of the meeting of the Bayfield Garden Club held on September 12th, was the presentation made to the founding President, Mrs. Doris Hunter. Making the presentation in the form of a framed Cer- tificate of Life Membership, President Jack Willock, said that the decision had been made by the executive in order to express the ap- preciation of the member- ship for all the work Mrs. Hunter had done in forming the Bayfield Garden Club. Her tenacity and drive had kept everybody on the run in those early days, and as a result the club had gone from strength to strength. It was not, he said, to be a precedent for past presidents, but a special honor conferred in a par- ticular instance. Mr. Don Pullen, who had been slated to speak, was unable to attend but his place was taken by Mr. John Heard, the new assistant to the local representative of the ministry of food and agriculture. Introducing him, Brig. Fred Clift stress- ed that Huron was a "farm- ing county" producing every kind of crop, and that Mr. Heard's father was a well- known coordinator in farm management for S.W. On- tario. Getting down to the grass roots, said Brig. Clift, meant taking into account that the garden clubs and horticultural societies were sponsored by the ministry, whose help and support was an important part of their progress. Mr. Heard was a graduate of Guelph and had subsequently worked out west and at Stewart's Seeds. Now he was getting out to meet people in this area to share with them his specialized knowledge of crops and soils. Mr. Heard said that the meeting was the first he had attended in the area, and he welcomed the opportunity to work in a realm which com- bined his professional train- ing and personal interests.

And the figure for July was pretty close at 2544. • For many summer residents the library is an essential part of the maintenance of their regular lifestyle. Their appreciation ,of the facilities available are expressed in person, and by letter. Comment is not con- fined to reading material alone, but includes com- pliments on the bright, neat premises as well as the 'friendly and cooperative at- mosphere which prevails. Sometimes, says Mrs. Weston, there is evidence • Council � removal sion with regard to use of the ball diamond and council re- quested that the Recreation Committee should now have had experience sufficient to enable them to formulate policies and plans for the next season. The next meeting of coun- cil will be on Monday Oc- tober l9th. By Helen Owen Bayfield Village Council met on September 17 and after two slight amendments to the minutes of the previous meeting proceeded to deal with the matters aris- With reference to the pro- posals of the Garden Club, Councillor Wilson reported on costings for removal of tree stumps and Mr. Penhale was authorized to see that the work was carried out. The suggestions for the flowerbeds around the municipal building were be- ing studied, and council also felt that for safety reasons the tubs outside the library should be moved during the winter. Reporting on the collection of overdue rates, the Clerk- Treasurer told council that the total outstanding at the present time amounted to approximately $20,000. A letter from Harriston re- quested endorsement of sup- port for . farmers who were facing financial difficulties due to high interest rates. After. some discussion coun- cil agreed that a similar re- quest had received their sup- port at the last meetingand therefore, they did not feel it was necessary to endorse this one. Mr. Dean, representative of the law firm in Exeter was unable to attend the meeting as planned, but Reeve Fellows had spoken to him with regard to outstanding matters which he was handl- ing on behalf of the council. They were advised .that the part of the road which was breaking away on the south side of the Bayfield River was being dealt with. Soil samples were being obtained and recommendations would be made in due course. All members of council had been present at a meeting with the Ausable- Bayfield Conservation Authority on September 9th in connection with erosion on the south side of the river. This had resulted when the island had been incorporated in the Dry Dock Marina which in turn had altered the course of the river. The mat- ter was fully discussed since it was obvious that im- mediate steps would need to be taken to remedy the situa- tion. It was reported that the necessary by-law was being prepared in connection with the village survey of Ar- chibald, Gray and McKay, and a report on the Tote Road was still awaited. Reeve Fellows reported that he had been asked to at- tend a meeting ih connection with the dismissal of the REAPing the benefits On August 31, Ontario Hydro -began energy surveys of homes in rural parts of the province. The free survey is part of the Residential Energy Advisory Program (REAP) announced in June by Ontario's Ministry of Energy,. ,The 10 -year pro- gram offers a home survey and loans of up to $2,000 to improve energy efficiency and -or to convert an oil - heating system to electrici- ty, if it means at least a 50 percent reduction in oil con- sumption. former Clerk -Treasurer. However, this had been cancelled at the last moment and an alternative date, con- venient to all parties, had yet to be arranged. Councillor Johnston stated that he had reviewed the file covering fuel usage in village owned buildings. The present contract was due to terminate shortly and coun- cil approved continuation of previous policies with regard to tenders for 1982. The question of placement of intersection signs had been raised at the last meeting, since when Coun- cillor Johnston had taken up the matter ,with the M.T.C. Engineer. Arrangements had been made for a field representative to investigate the problems and it was hoped that his report would be available at the next meeting. The services of Mr. Mark Stevens who had been responsible for .the maint 'Ince of village buildi luring the sum- mer, i..0 now ceased. However, council felt that some sort of work needed to be carried out during the winter, especially where there was frequent usage. The Clerk -Treasurer was asked to provide council with an estimate of part-time re- quirements based on work required during the next month. Councillor Johnston's report also confirmed that arrangements had been made to cover the damaged window frames and windows in the municipal building. Tenders for gravel crushing were still awaited, and coun- cil agreed that when they were received, the minimum should be accepted. Finally Councillor Johnston recommended that the large garbage container should remain until Thanksgiving, and this was approved. Notice of the col- lection which took place following Thanksgiving weekend would be advertis- ed in the newspaper. The next item on the agen- da concerned the enquiry of the LACAC committee, who had undertaken to interview property owners in the designated area of the Heritage Plan. The results revealed that out of 45 people interviewed, 16 were in favor, 17 had not given a written opinion and 12 were against. The matter had been further discussed with Mr. Gary Davidson, who had been present at the previous meeting of the council. After further clarification a motion Was made that those not wishing to be in- cluded in the plan, should in- dicate this in writing, and that Mr. Gary Davidson should then be asked to for- mulate the necessary by- law. Councillor John Chapman stated that although his view might be unpopular, he felt he had a responsibility in raising objections, and that it was only democratic that he should reaffirm his opi- nion that the proposed ac- tions could be seen as an in- fringement of the rights of the individual. A vote was then called and the motion carried, Coun- cillor Chapman's objection being duly registered. Councillor W1„son was in- vestigating fuel saving measures but -as these were not yet complete he was ask- ed to bring them to the next meeting. Councillor Pemberton reported that the necessary application form covering student labor next summer, had been received, and in her absence would be dealt with by one of the other organizations interested in the project in order to meet the required dateline. Councillor Chapman reported that he had now completed his study of the material covering organiza- tion of emergency situations. His findings indicated that initially it would be ad- visable to appoint two people responsible for emergency planning; the setting up of reference files; breakdown of resources and personnel; procedures for emergency action and liaison with other bodies involved. It was the - opinion of council that there might be someone with suitable expertise who would be prepared to undertake a role of this nature, and the matter would be considered at the next meeting. Mr. Bill Talbot represen- ting the Recreation Commit- tee advised council of two new appointments to the committee, Lloyd Huffman and Gerry Johnson, and these were approved.

Although the library is small compared to some, it does carry a wide selection from light fiction through philosophy, history and biography, and stocks are changed frequently, so that there is always something new on the shelves. And, of course, prompt attention is giyen to special,. requests which are obtained, through the Huron County Library service. The -library caters for all ages and conditions. In 1978 a pre-school group was form- ed and this has proved a great success. Not only has it shown that young children are given an early opportuni- ty to enjoy books through `Story Time', but it helps them to integrate with other children. It is an initiation for school days to follow with the added advantage that first days at school renew contacts with this preliminary group. Following on from this point it has been noted that from the original group some are now in school and are beginning to use the library with which they have already become familiar. Older 'children involved in special projects find the library a source of much valuable information, which as they do not have a school library maintains their pre- school days contact with the library. we're celebrating our.... 3 "Annual Fall Sale TUES.

The homebound too, for whom books provide stimulus, entertainment and escape, appreciate the varie- ty that is available to them. Another service, provided by the Librarian, although not included in her regular working schedule, is the maintenance of a regular supply of reading material at Clan Gregor Apartments. Apart from Ireference books and a wide selection of "Do -It -Yourself" books, the library also carries current issues of a variety of magazines, all of which are well used. In winter the regular readers are familiar faces and equip themselves with anything from three to 10 books at a time. For those people the library is a very necessary adjunct to their lives. However, it is not just a place where people go to exchange books. It is part of the life of the community where contacts are made, friends encountered, con- fidences exchanged - and the generations intermingle. Ever: Youngs visit north Quite a number of our Ever Young Club and, friends spent a pleasant time last week at Elgin House at Port Carling on Lake Joseph in the Muskokas. Six bus loads from different localities were entertained, with two of the busses were from New York State and the name on one of the busses was "Recycled Tee n Agers. ". We enjoyed a three hour cruise and luncheon on the "Island Queen" at Parry Sound , among the 30,000 Islands on the Georgian Bay. A lady from Toronto motored up and treated us to a fashion show, showing some beautiful fall clothes and specializing in different ideas on wearing scarf pins and scarfs. One of our group was chosen as a model to show off some of the clothes. The first evening we were entertained by a group who played "Oklahoma", the second evening Frank Palmer a noted singer and Dick and Sheila Kimberly who were excellent en- tertainers. The last evening, we had "The Paul Bros" and "Billie Meek" from the Pig and W histle.
