Nursery
school
On Thursday last week the
Bayfield Co-operative Pre-
school held their annual
Christmas party highlighted
by a hay wagon ride through
the streets of Bayfield The
young kids began their ride
about 9:15 for a 20 minute
ride while merrily singing
Christine_ rots.
After tne ride, the kids
were delighted to find out
that Santa had made a flash
visit while they were gone
and had left gifts for
everyone. They then listened
to a few stories before open-
ing the gifts. Moms and kids
were then treated to a
delicious lunch followed by a
draw for a basket of goodies
and a decorative wreath.
Carrot Warnmes of RR3,
Clinton was the winner of the
basket, which contained
such items as cheese, mints,
cookies, candy, crackers and
other good things to fill one's
cupboard for the Christmas
season. The Christmas
:;reath was won by Bev
Pounder of Bayfield.
YJniac was enough for him to
be rated third for the week.
Bayfield marine laboraiory opens in Burlin
"The Bayfield Laboratory
for Marine Science and
Surveys established on
August 1st, 1981 is dedicated
to the memory of Admiral
Henry Wolsey Bayfield R.N.
who surveyed and charted
the Canadian Great Lakes
and their connecting waters
during the early period of the
19th century."
The unveiling of the plaque
bearing the above words was
the highlight of a trip made
by members of the Bayfield
Historical Society on Tues-
day, December 15. Despite
the wintry weather, 34 peo-
ple joined the bus trip to visit
the Department of Fisheries
and Oceans at Burlington
where the ceremony ',took
place. The invitation was a
result of the project which
the society had promoted
last July, when the C.S.S.
Bayfield visited the village
together with members of
the establishment and the
Captain of the ship.
On arrival, the visitors
were welcomed by Derek
Cooper, who took them on a
conducted tour of the
building Which included the
laboratories, workshops,
boat refurbishing sections
and the offices which handle
research apd environmental
studies ranging from tides,
wave reaction, Arctic condi-
tions, erosion, fish and
marine biology.
In many ways, the unique
quality of the work creates
special requirements and
consequently equipment has
to be made on the premises
to comply with the scientist;',
specific needs. The work
combines comprehensive
husbandry of Canada's
fisheries, protection and
enhancement of individual
fish stocks i and aquatic
habitat, and a study of the
best methods of harvesting
and processing.
In addition, the depart-
ment
epartment is also the source of a
wealth of information re-
quired by navigators and
provides charts and
hydrographic surveys as
well as national ocean infor-
mation services.
Following the tour, the
party adjourned to the
auditorium for the official
opening ceremony. Mr. T. D.
W. McCulloch welcomed the
visitors, and referred to the
career of Admiral Bayfield,
which had commenced at the
age of 11 as a g
volunteer in the�itish
Navy. He explained t it
was felt, in line with other In-
stitutes who bore significant
names that the laboratory at
Burlington should carry a
name of historical
significance. There was no
doubt that the contribution
which Admiral hayfield had
made indicated that he
would be a most suitable
choice, since the laboratory
continued to perpetuate and
extend the work which he
had initiated

The Sailor's Farewell
by Helen Owen
After my last conversation
with Fred the squirrel, I had
been watching anxiously to
see how things would
develop, but whenever I
caught a glimpse of him he
was always so busy.
Then one morning, hap-
pening to glance out of the
window I was surprised to
see Freda, alone, sitting on a
branch busy devouring a
whole apple! I feared the
worst as the significance of
this sight made itsfull im-

myself, had invaded the
squirrel Eden and tempted
her to partake of the 'Tree of
Knowledge'?
But there was more drama
to come. Far away from the
village I stood on the steps of
a large Government
Building, enjoying the sharp,
fresh air of a clear, starry
winter evening. I was
awaiting my companions to
board the bus when sudden-
ly, I became aware of three
small figures under a tree at
the corner of the building. I
moved alone cautiously fear-
ing to disturb them. Two
were strangers to me, but
the third bore an un-
mistakable resemblance to
Fred! As I moved closer I
recognized his voice:
"So, shipmates, I said to
myself, she may call me a
male chauvinist, all right,
but enough is enough- First
opportunity, I'm off. This
morning I packed up my
bundle and set out to hitch a
lift - and there was this big
bus on the corner of Main
Street. I didn't know where it
was going, and I didn't care
but I sneaked aboard The
rest you know, since I got
here you fellows have shown
me around the harbour and
the ships. I'd like to join
you," and he held out a little
black paw.
His companions made
sympathetic noises' and
began to tell him something
of their lives at sea_ It was
also obvious that part of
their educational program
included introducing Fred to
that old navy custom of
'splicing the main brace".
As he imbibed their
homilies and restorative his
speech became a little slur-
red, but his spirits more
elevated However, bis at-
tempts to perform the
sailor's hornpipe ended in
scuffles and giggles, and
three small squirrels rolling
around in the snow.
"Fred," I whispered, from
my shadowy corner. "Fred,
come here a minute." His
companions withdrew a
short . distance, and Fred
peered around until he final-
ly got me in focus.
"Well, he �1 said.
"Fancy seeing you - just in
time for a sailor's farewelL"
He hiccuped and came
towards ice with wavering
footsteps. "Glad you're
here," he attempted an old
world bow, but finished up on
all fours- "I'm off to see the
world. Little 'ol Fred is
