Canon Paull remembered
By Helen Owen
"A memorial to one of the nicest
gentlemen in the world" and "the greatest
gentle gentleman". These were the com-
ments included in the thanks to the speaker,
Kay Reid, at the meeting of Bayfield
Historical Society, and referred to the late
Canon F. H. Paull.
There was a good attendance and Miss
Reid, a long time personal friend of Harold
Paull, impressed her audience with her
sincere and affectionate interpretation of
his First World War Diaries discovered
after his death. Contained in three small
leather bound notebooks and written in pen-
cil they recorded his impressions covering a
period of some two and half years of
overseas service, and also reflect the per-
sonality of a man respected and loved by so
many people in the village of Bayfield.
Miss Reid's extracts included notes taken
during his course of officer training in
Canada. She quoted one entry, "Discipline -
the respect of all ranks." It was typical of
his attitude throughout his life.
The uneventful sea journey to the U.K.
was followed by more training at Shorn-
cliffe, which he notes, although interesting
at first, soon became boring. However,
there were periods of leave and off duty and
the diaries evidence a keen observation of
his new surroundings, people and places.
Trips to London, which he describes as "the
centre of the world," introduced him to the
best hotels of that period as well as the
theatres and their productions of what
became famous war time shows.
An interesting reflection mentions that his
French studies proved useful in reading
menus! He took advantage of every oppor-
tunity to visit places of interest and saw for
himself the cities of Cambridge, famous for
its universities, Edinburgh, while enjoying
the exploration of London itself.
But that was the lighter side. The grim
realities of trench warfare soon became ap-
parent when he embarked at Southampton
for Le iavre in the spring of 1917. Condi-
tions were harsh. He saw action at Vimy
Ridge and records the horrors of life in the
trenches where sometimes they found
themselves up to their hips in mud and the
Ever Young Club
elect committee
The Ever Young Club met last Thursday
night for their regular meeting in the
Municipal Bldg. with President Esther
Wright in the chair.
The treasurer's, secretary's and card
reports were given by Dorothy Cox, Gwen
Pemberton and Grace Duggan. Grace Dug-
gan and Jess Blair each gave a reading.
A committee was elected namely Jeanne
Lindsay, Jess Blair, Murdock Morrison and
John Lindsay to look after our bi-centennial
project next summer in Bayfield. Members
were reminded of the Christmas dinner on
Dec. 7 at 6 p.m. in the United Church.
Euchre and lunch were enjoyed. Euchre
prizes went to: ladies' high - Esther Makins;
low, Lillian Penhale; men's high, Murdock
Morrison; low, Glen Dowson; lone hands,
Frank McClinchey.
The next meeting will be Jan. 26 at 1:30

noise of unremitting artillery iire.
By July he was up inthe front line, had
been awed by the immensity of tanks, and
suffered as a result of a gas attack. He
describes the effects, the difficulties with
breathing, the painful eye condition which
ensued and the cough - which was to remain
with him for the rest of his life.
After being hospitalized in England he
recovered and was posted to Bexhill where
his new duties included the training of other
service men. But he did not dwell on his
unpleasant experiences and apparently
found time to attend the Easter service at
the famous church of St. Martin in the Field.
When he next returned to Europe it was to
war torn Belgium where he seems to have
had a variety of duties such as attending a
court martial, which obviously distressed
him. Movement was frequent and again he
encountered the horrors of gas warfare as
well as the effects of a direct hit on a trench
by high explosive. Sad reminders of the
casualty rates are echoed in the entries
referring to the deaths of friends. Then he
himself was wounded and again returned to
England. This time during his con-
valescence he made a trip to Ireland.
On Nov. 3, 1918 he notes, "The war is fast
drawing to a close," and then on Nov. 11,
"One of the greatest days in history - Lon-
don has gone mad with joy!"
Miss Reid concluded her review with the
entry for Jan. 16, 1919 written on Canon
Paull's return to Canada, "I greeted my
native land after an absence of 28 months."
Rev. George Youmatoff thanked Miss
Reid for her presentation which deeply
touched all present.
The business part of the last meeting of
the year was conducted by the President,
Ed Oddleifson and included the announce-
ment that a contribution of $300 was to be
made towards the village Bicentennial
celebrations in 1984, also that the Society
would be contributing to the County Atlas
which was to be updated and re -issued.
The meeting adjourned and refreshments
were served by Kelly Ball and Doris Red-
doch.

Trio Caecilia present
musical ensemble
By Helen Owen
The second of the series of concerts spon-
sored by the Bayfield Lioness took place on
Nov. 22. Once again the Community Centre
was filled with an appreciative audience
when the Trio Caecilia presented an
ensemble comprising violin, piano and horn.
Their program included lesser known
classical music as well as a special item
commissioned by Youth and Music Canada
especially for them, a particularly deman-
ding piece, which if it was difficult for the
audience to interpret, was also a formidable,
challenge for the young players.
The first part of the program began with a
lively piece by Frederic Duvernoy and then
with a swift change of mood the players per-
formed a work of the Russian composer,
Gliere, which blended tenderness with pas-
sion and demonstrated the technique and
feeling of the players. An unusual combina-
tion of French horn and piano, the work of
Dukas, introduced the musical form to ac-
company village dances, as well as
demonstrating to the audience the ways in
which the use of the mute changed the mood
and expression of horn playing.
Ravel's "Tzigane" for violin and piano, a
lively presentation, was of added interest as
the players explained the techniques which
they employed to achieve effects by
repetitive notes and runs on the piano, and
the use of bow and thumb on the violin.
The final item on the program was a
return to the classical style and the trio per-
formed Brahms' Trio Opus 40 in E flat
minor. The significance of the movements
was emphasized by the delightful analysis
provided by the players, ranging from the
quiet and gentle introduction, the gentle an-
ticipatory prelude to the dance with an
undercurrent of mounting excitement. The
second movement with its solemn motif con-
trasted strongly with the first, and express-
ed the composer's feelings at the death of
his mother. This change of mood interpreted
by the trio was both moving and poignant.
The concluding passage, described as
reminiscent of hunting in the Vienna Woods,
captured the freshness and excitement of
the hunt.
Following a warm reception, the trio pro-
vided an encore and again demonstrating
their versatility, ended the evening on a
light and contemporary note with a pot
pourri of ragtime!
Ann Robert, violin, Paul Marcotte,
French horn, and Michel Fournier, piano
have already established a reputation for
themselves in the U.K. and on the Continent,
and all of them have won personal acclaim.
They have been working together now for
three years having met initially at the
University of Indiana. Their lives are full of
music, for when they are not performing
they are practising, teaching and exploring
the lesser known works of classical com-
posers. After the concert the audience had
an opportunity to talk to this charming trio
and congratulate them, as well as discover
their warmth and enthusiasm on an in-
dividual basis.
Lioness, Judy Huntley confirmed that
ticket holders would now have the benefit of
a bonus concert which has been arranged
for January. Further details will be
available in due course.

BAYFIELD welcomes as permanent
residents, Bob and Louise Rogers, who with
their three children, Bob, Carrie and Cathy,
take possession of their new home on
Highway 21.
Bob brought his family to the area, from
Waterloo, when he purchased the NIP and
Tuek convenience store. Bayfield soon got to
know this genial couple and their son
through shopping in the store. Now they can
take part in village activities without the
drive to Clinton ahead of them.
They already are members of the
Bayfield Garden Club, joined the curlers at
the arena and Louise, Carrie and Cathy are
attending the Youth and Music concerts,
which are designed to interest young people
in good music. The consensus of opinion is
that,"they are really nice people."
Some other of our nice people population
have been enjoying a pre -Christmas trip to
the west coast. Jack and Torry McKenzie
were with her father in Victoria, where as
usual it rained frequently and Brigadier
Morgan and Edith Smith were in Van-
courver staying with their daughter Debbie
and son-in-law Bayne.
Frank and Sylvia Burch have brought
their three children for a Christmas visit to
their grandparents Frank and Betty.
Mr. and Mrs. Bill Clark have returned
from a stay with their daughter Janice and
have brought her back to Bayfield for a
return visit.
The season seems always to bring illness
of one kind or another, guess we should all
be eating an apple every day. The latest to
enter the sick list is Mrs. Connie West, who
is at present in Alexandra Marine and
General Hospital, Goderich. Mrs. Catharine
Beatty is in London at University Hospital
and one cheerful note Mr. Douglas Ball is
recuperating well at home after surgery.
It's also pleasant to see our good friend Ir-
ma Fraser able to attend some social func-
tions after a miserable autumn fighting a
"Communist Bug" as she says picked up on
their trip to Europe in September.
Bayfield can be proud of one of our local
boys, Steve Scotchmer. It was good to read
in the report on Business Section of The
Globe and Mail, of his appointment as com-
pany president and chief operating officer of
his company Bay Mills Ltd. Toronto. The
firm makes textiles and non -woven
materials for industrial use; including
fabric for the undersides of automobiles,
and fibreglas for boats. Stephen is the son of
the late affectionately remembered, Alf,
and Bessie Scothmer.
He has a number of proud aunts and
uncles in town but Mrs. Helen LeBeau is an
aunt twice over as her brother Alf married
her first husband's sister Bessie, con-
gratulations to this graduate of Queens
University.
Mr. and Mrs. Ken Brandon, Rusty, Kelly
and Pat Brandon returned home on Nov. 17
after spending a week in Regina, Moose Jaw
and Edmonton, Alberta. They attended the
wedding of their son Blair to Lindsay Knox
of Moose Jaw. the wedding was held on Nov.
12 at St. Andrew's United Church, Moose
Jaw. Blair and Lindsay will be in Bayfield
on Dec. 23 when a reception will be held in
their honor.
