Fly a better Flag to celebrate Cana j a Day
By Doris Hunter
Canada Day seems_to be
celebrated in Bayfield by
dining at a beef barbecue
served by the members of St.
Andrews' United Church.
Six hundred and fifty peo-
iple enjoyed the dinner,
especially the homemade
pies, surely a feat of superb
organization, congratt la -
tions.
Our churches sang the r'la-
tional anthem with ap-
propriate fervour and the
children at the Library
Story Hour had a Canada's
Birthday Party. The Lions
had one of their popular pan-
cake breakfasts, but the
village flag is so small and
faded at the square it might
better not be there.
What is the council and the
Historical Society going to
do about a proper recogni-
tion of our country's national
day? Who "stands on guard"
here? Embarrassing eh!
Pioneer Park
Summer Program
The Pioneer Park Associa-

start with its summer pro-
gram, games are going on

Concert on Saturday night.
The big event this week is
the Rummage Sale. This
year marks the 21st anniver-
sary of the move from the
Town Hall to the old arena,
and it has just kept getting
bigger and better each year.
Make room for new
treasures, by taking lots of
good things to the Arena duce

Bayfield homes require
elastic walls these days as
family gatherings take
place. Rev. George
Youmatoff and Mrs.
Youmatoff and Councillor
Helen Owen had their
mutual family, Lieutenant-
Colonel George Bruce, his
wife Theodora, children
Christopher, Andrew and
Christina with them. Trinity
Anglican Church was
privileged to hear the ex-
cellent sermon delivered.
Lieutenant-Colonel Bruce is
a postulant for Holy Orders
in the Anglican Church of
Canada but is presently with
the Royal Canadian Armed
Forces Intelligence service.
Gardeners will study flowers
By Helen Owen
Now in its summer season
the Bayfield Garden Club
looks forward to welcoming
members and visitors to its
next meeting. This will take
place in the Municipal
Building on July 11 at 8 p.m.
A speaker has been engag-
ed for this occasion, Mr.
Howey Langan of Vanastra.
The subject of his talk, will
be of particular interest as
he will be identifying and
discussing wild flowers. This
is a topic which enthusiastic
members of the club have
already undertaken as a
practical project, as
demonstrated by the wild
flower sanctuary which they
have developed on Mara
Street.
New subscriptions and
renewals will be welcomed,
and of course, if received by
August 31st will entitle
members to annual
premiums in the form of
bulbs. Membership en-
quiries to Helen Owen, 565-
2956.
Mr. Ronald Chapman of
London and Bayfield had all
his family with him for a bir-
thday dinner planned by his
wife 011ie.
The Kurtz families,
descendants of Reuben and
Mildred Powell Kurtz of
Michigan were at the cot-
tages of their brothers David
and the Reverend Gordon,
for a family reunion. Four
the five brothers were h. e
with their families, all 28 of
them, ranging in age from 69
years to 5 months.
Although the Kurtz family
came for the occasion from
New York, Pennsylvania, Il-
linois and Michigan they are
proud of their Canadian con-
nection. Their great-
grandmother Mrs. David
Lapp Kurtz was the first set-
tler, where Schantz Men-
nonite Church now stands in
Wilmot Township, Waterloo
County.
The Donald Lange family
too had a houseful as Justin,
Mary, Ryan and Emily were
here.
Bishop Sherlock came
from London to celebrate
mass in the Church of the
Engish Martyrs. Our Roman
Catholic community started
a long time ago when -Br.
William Tillman built the
cottage so long occupied by
his son Dr. Bill and Anne
with' their family. Dr.
Tillman was loved by us all,
he never turned away an
anxious mother, even though
he was supposed to be on
holiday. His descendants, 70
of them, were in the village
for the weekend to bid good-
bye to the cottage so full of
memories for them all. It is
too be razed and a new home
erected, what stories the
family must have recalled as
they gathered together! It
was most fitting for Bishop
Sherlock to serve mass to
this family. of Bayfielders
and the large congregation
who attend service there
each week.
A new property owner is
Brad Turner who has ac-
quired a cottage on Howard
Street. Brad is a Bayfield
boy, son of Ede and Grant
Turner.
The John Cock cottage
next door to Brad's was
festively decorated with an-
tique flags for the holiday
weekend, very nice!

United welcome minister
By Helen Owen
On July 3, members of St.
Andrew's United Church,
visitors and guests gathered
for the Induction Service of
the new Minister, Rev. Paul
Murray.
Rev. Stanley McDonald of
Hensall was the Presiding
Minister, and after Rev.
Murray had been presented
to the Presbytery and the
congregation by Rev. Bill
Moore from St. Marys, the
people joined in the simple
and sincere ceremony,
which involved the exchange
of promises between the peo-
ple of the Pastoral ,Charge
and the Minister elect.
The final part of the Induc-
tion Service was the Charge
to the Pastor, reminding him
of the varied responsibilities
which he wasrundertaking,
and to the people, of the
sotenm covenant into which
they had entered to receive
their new, minister as a
teacher. They too, had their
responsibilities in suppor-
ting his work, and were
reminded of the need "to be
alert to his needs so that he
might devote his time to the
whole service of the chur-
ch... without distraction or
unnecessary anxiety."
Dr. Barbara Laing preach-
ed the sermon enjoining the
congregation to follow the
word of Jesus as members of
the flock for which their new
Minister would act as
shepherd. She reminded
them of the enemies without

of which they should be con-
stantly aware in the form of
peer pressures and a chang-
ing but not necessarily im-
proved society. On the
positive side she stressed the
role of the shepherd as that
of being a willing and eager
worker whose personal ex-
ample was of prime impor-
tance.
Throughout the service the
excellent choral contribution
added dignity and praise to
the solemnity of the occa-
sion. At the conclusion of the
induction Don Keillor under-
took the role of master of
ceremonies' in introducing
guests and well wishers to
the new minister. This he did
in a simple and relaxed
style, presenting in turn
Rev. Gordon Reynolds of
Trinity;, � urch;
Rev. Bill Moore from the
United Church, St. Marys;
Rev. Wilena Brown from
Varna Goschen; John
Campbell, Clerk of Sessions;
Mrs. Flo Keillor represen-
ting the United Church
Women (Bayfield) ; Reeve
David Johnston, and Mrs.
Finkbeiner who . were pre-
sent on behalf of Huron
Perth Presbytery.
Rev. Murray thanked
them for their welcome and
support on behalf of himself,
his wife, Marian, and
daughter Jennifer. He
described his new charge as
being a transplantation into
new soil, from which he said,
a new point of growth was
already making itself felt.
Rev. Murray and his fami-
ly are now installed in the
Manse. They have come to
Bayfield from Cottam, near
Windsor, where his con-
gregation had comprised an
area of heavy farming and
the automobile industry. He
says that as a youth he felt a
call to the church, although
at that time it was not possi-
ble for him to pursue it and
he became involved in
photographic work.
However, subsequently the
opportunity did occur for
him to follow his early in-
clinations, and he feels that
in many ways the experience
of the world which he ac-
quired in the interim, is of
additional value in the work
he has now undertaken.
Since he commenced his
ministry he has been im-
pressed by what he
describes as a spirit of
renewal. His particular in-
terests are centred on youth,
pastoral counselling and the
senior members of the com-
munity. He added that he
had also been ,fortunate in
acquiring valuable insights
into the different
backgrounds and lifestyles
as a yresult of two- summer •
field experiences, the first in
the Bancroft area when he
was introduced to life in a
community where mining
and forestry were the
predominating occupations.
The second was in Perth -
Huron, New Brunswick. Just
across the border from. the
American Air Force Base,
Strategic Bornnber Command
he found a community con-
stantly reminded of the fears
generated by this proximity.
Of his wife, Marian, Rev.
Murray says that prior to
coming to Bayfield her time
has been split between part-
time work as a nurse and her
family. His daughter Jen-
nifer, 12 year old, is obvious-
ly an outgoing young lady
who acquitted herself well at
the Induction Service. She
had a keen interest in spor-
ting activities of all kinds, in-
cluding soccer and baseball!
The evening concluded
with a social hour in the
Church Hall. Refreshments
were served and the Rev.
Murray and his family had
an opportunity to make per-
sonal contacts with the con-
gregation.

lapjac fever
hits i.- I.ya lei
By Helen Owen
A Pancake Breakfast,
organized by the Bayfield
Lions is always a popular
event in the village, and on
Jolly 3 this fact was very
much in evidence.
Before "the workers"
were fatly operating keen
partakers were already con-
verging on the Community
Centre! They continued to do
so until closing time, some
already aware that they
were coming to enjoy golden
brown pancakes, crispy
sausage and a generous
helping of genuine Bayfield
maple syrup, while the
others this was a first time
experience, which would be
repeated when the occasion
arose.
As usual, the Lions had
their resources well
oriented, and included cof-
"ee. chocolate milk and soft
drinks to round off the plen-
tifully piled plates so accep-
table to all ag; It was
estimated that well over 400
people .took advantage rang-
ing from those who came for
breakfast- through to those
who decided to call in later
for brunch.
There was ample evidence
of the efficient organization
in the cooking, serving and
clearing processes, and of
course, not so obvious but
most essential is the work
which goes into the prepara-
tion and final cleaning up.
The weather was ideal for
the breakffasters, although
for "the workers" the heat
must have been trying.
Nevertheless, they cheerful-
' ly goton with the job and are
to be,congratulated on the
completion of yet another
successful Lions' project.

Corn
heat units
The hot weather we've
seen over the last couple of
weeks has brought us closer
to normal heat unit ac-
cumulation. As of June 24,
Centralia College reported
785 Corn Heat)- Units ac-
cumulated for this year. At
the same date last year we
had 904. The six year
average for June 24 is 851
C.H.U.
At this time of year we
normally accumulate about
143 C.H.U. per week. That
means we're about six days
behind last year or about
three days behind the
average of the last six years.
At the beginning of June,
we were about 250 C.H.U.
less than "normal". We've
gained some good growing
weather during June.
Continued good growing
weather over the next 21/2
months will greatly improve
crop prospects.
