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- tion is off to an excellent start with its summer pro- gram, games are going on each evening, the sunsets are being sociably supervis- ed, and over 100 people en- joyed the Laketown Band 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 ing the morning of July 8. Sunnee Stephens, phone 565-2633 is counting on your donations to the always popular home baking section and Bud Robinson, 565-2946 or Mr. Woodchuck 565-2946 will arrange a pick up of heavy articles. Come early and enjoy the bagpipe serenade of Mr. Murray East. Clowns will be on hand too. Remember 8 p.m. at the Arena. 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.

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!

(Shelley McPhee photo) 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 MARINE HARDWARE Largest stock in Southwestern, Ont. AURA YACHTS INC.

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.

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.

A reception was held in the Crystal Palace. Besides celebrating their wedding anniversary on Canada Day, it is also both the bride and groom's birth- day.

The Steamers play in the opening game at 9 a.m. on Saturday, the Stanley Dreamers ander the Bluewater Lakers at 10:30, and Hill and Hill Farms at noon. First game winners will compete in the A series. It would be exciting if a couple of local teams wind up in the finals against each other.

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. •Cr GOLDSMITH -SILVERSMITH,/ sister and brother-in-law, Dorothy and Tony Moffatt. +++ At the Kippen Gun Club on June 28. 27 shooters took part.
