It found our faithful people enjoying the visit of St. Stephen's Choir from Durham to three of our churches, Trinity, St. James' in Middleton and finally a sacred concert held in the United Church of St. Andrew's. It was a delight to have that really fine musician presiding at the organ for Morning Prayer and the boys and gentlemen choristers lent special charm to the beautiful service which Morning Prayer is. The concert, well attended, showed the wide range of musical training this choir is receiving. Their repertoire included selec- tions .by elec- tions.by two Canadian composers, Mr. J.A. Dawson, a master at St. Andrew's. College near Toronto and, by the late world famous English Canadian liturgist Dr. Healey Willan, who for so many years was organist and choir master at the Church of St. Mary Magdaline in Toronto. The old masters were not forgotten. Bach, Mozart, Handel and the Paris Angelicus of Caesar Franch sung in solo by Master Suniltari. A delightful moment was the introduction of the violinist, Mr. Michael Schmidt - Ackerman; Mr. Howell said that Andy James would tell us about the Sonata's com- poser, Willim De Fesch with a beaming smile. Andy did so and won the hearts of his listeners. Showing their Anglican training, this lover of church music felt they were most at home with Mozart's Ave Verum Corpus and the Magnificat arranged by T. A. Walmesley. Well, stir -up Sunday has many traditions, good wines and Christmas puddings together and every member should have a go with the mixing spoon. Christmas shopping tour Advent means the Christmas Season has officially arrived and our thoughts depress- ed my Nuclear War horror on television can rise in joy for this best of all seasons. Christmas giving is one of the great pleasures in life and a tour of our stores revealed some charming things for sale and bargains too. The Country Store, gay with lots of Christmas lights has so much to offer, lovely scented candles that won't drip all over the damask, teas and spices, hunt for the Christmas tree dolls with China heads, heirloom decorations, and big reductions all through the store. Across the street at the Treasure Tree there is of course a tree with the latest trim brightly coloured fans, delicious candies and all kinds of fine gift ideas. Everyone enjoys Mr. Israel's windows at the Red Pump Gift Store, that splendid swag of greenery with shiny red apples enticing and the makings are available within. Last winter he bought brass and copper treasures in Holland, which arrived late in the season, so here too is a sale half price on many things and one third off on others. Peeking through the George's Windows one sees a fine store loaded with gifts, some of the latest books and they do have records and tapes also a sale on those stained glass window hangings. We have to say the wonderful wreath, Mr. Gammage creates for the centre of the Totality's front wall is the ultimate in Christmas decoration, the twinkling lights and huge red bow are a joy to behold. Mr. Gammage, a true floral artist, is one of the five generations who have been in the trade since 1869, a long time for a Canadian firm. Everyone looks forward to a visit to the store when the poinsettas arrive. This year they will be there on Thursday and don't delay as orders are already in for these essential plants for the season. Mr. Gammage smiles on them at the greenhouse, which must explain why they are lovelier than any we have seen elsewhere. They have something new in the gift shop, a few of the Limited Edition of Royal Doulton's latest introduction, A Carnival of (Town, designed by Bill Black in England and manufactured in Japan only 500 for sale in Canada. Here also is a discount on everybody's love Royal Doulton Figurines. Viva the Bayfield Gift Shops! Church bazaar The Trinity Ladies Guild held their An- nual Christmas Bazaar on Saturday and it was a delightful affair. Mrs. Lorna Merner and Mrs. Ruby Fitzsimons excelled emselves in the arrangements, the fresh ly, homebakina and clever chocolate figures given and made by Mrs. Gloria Mc- Clinchey quickly disappeared. Among those enjoying tea were Mrs. Doris Reddoch, Mrs. Mary Shepherd, the Rev. and Mrs. Douglas Pitts and the youngest guest, on his proud grandmother's knee Robert Matthew Toms Roth. Grandpa Lloyd Westlake must have looked just like that when he was six weeks old. Ag Society elect directors The Bayfield Agricultural Society very cleverly jumped the gun by holding its an- nual meeting and a pot luck supper, UMM- MM good, in November instead of January. This is such a warm feeling party everyone is relaxed and friendly, even their redoubtable secretary treasurer Audrey Graham who only became flustered when the President Mr. George Wilson offered her many compliments from the District con- ference and a gift of chocolates presented with the thanks and accolades of the organization by Mr. Ed Oddleifseon. The important business of the evening, the appointment of 12 directors included the following names: George Wilson, Carol Penhale, Ted Dunn, Fred Clift, Rick Penhale, Ed Oddleifson, Frank McFadden, Evertt Mcllwain, Doris Wilson, Jack Mayhew, Barry Cleave and Tom Penhale.

Round about Returning travellers were Mrs. Frank Burch who visited with the Howard McLeans in Calgary. She reports all three grandchildren enjoying life and the Rev. and Mrs. George Youmatoff who enjoyed a trip to Vancouver. Mr. Tom Penhale and Rick were at the Royal Winter Fair, Toron- to, too modest to tell us about it. The mystery of the week, is how the massive see -saw, suspended high in one of the maples bordering the Hovey's property, was wired in place. Men from Mars? And why is the forsythia in bloom at Walter Westlake's and English daisies in Anneke Roger's rock garden? The shrub laden with black current -like berries at the front of that property has been identified by Mr. Phillip Du Boulayas Buckthorn one puz- zle solved.

Hwy. 21 north 238-8240 In Bayfield Lio ess give over 30, By Wendy Somerville Since November 1979, Bayfield Lioness have contributed a total of $30,603.43 in sup- port for the Bayfield Community Centre and Arena. During Monday's council meeting, Coun- cillor Helen Owen related the figures receiv- ed from Helen Hopper, a member of the Lioness. The Lioness donated $23,656.98 on account off the loan, $1,000 was given for the ice -plant, $2,150 was given for the rent for functions held and $3,796.45 was donated for kitchen and building equipment. Reeve Dave Johnston said, "We must keep in mind that the Lioness support other organizations also." Councillor Ray Morley asked if council had given any thought into giving the Lioness and Lions a wine and cheese party. He said the council could take this oppor- tunity to have a formal burning of the mor- tgage. "I would like to invite everyone because a lot of inside and outside citizens have given their time and resources to building the cen- tre," said Reeve Johnston. He added that he would like to see a celebration held in the summer because "a lot of summer residents contributed greatly, so a summer dance might be a nice way that we can invite everyone who helped." Councillor Owen has been chosen by coun- cil to write for the Bicentennial Atlas as a result of a request from Huron County Coun- cil and the Huron County Library Board. She will be writing an up-to-date article on life in Bayfield. She will be mentioning the creation of new service clubs, businesses and organizations. According to Road Superintendent Rick Penhale, in 1983 the Bayfield Roads Depart- ment had a capital cost figure of $98,000 and he has budgeted the same figure for this year's capital cost.

Ian Turner's application to have a side porch added to his cottage was accepted by Councillor Ed Strachan and seconded by Councillor Reg Wilson. Councillor Strachan received two quotes for street signs. He said "I believe next year the prices will go up." Councillor Morley suggested Councillor Strachan put the figure off the lowest quote in his budget and at budget time make allowances if the lowest quote is not chosen. Mr. Wolfgang Loerchner has asked Road Superintendent Penhale if he can run a 0 to centre drain from has property into a nearby village drain. Rick said "I don't want to en- courage this." He said if he promoted the idea, everyone would want to use the village drains. Reeve Johnston asked if Mr. Loerchner would have to cut into the tile. Mr. Penhale noted he would and once again added that he did not want to see privately owned drains tapped into village owned drains. Councillor Morley moved that council not allow draining into village drains, Coun- cillor Strachan seconded the motion. Reeve Johnston asked Clerk Pat Graham to follow Mr. Penhale's verbal reply with a written letter on behalf of council.
