This past Sunday belonged to the children, Advent wreaths, now boast two lighted candles and proud parents admired the con- certs produced by our very excited children, both at Trinity Anglican and St. Andrew's United Church. This is such a delightful ex- perience both for the often tongue tied per- formers, and their audience. It really doesn't matter, the boys and girls in their Sunday best clothes spell Christmas to the most jaded onlooker. A visit from Santa Claus is a welcome culmination of the church service. This Sunday, Dec. 18 Trinity Church will present the Service of the Nine Lessons and Carols at their service, which commences at 9:45 A.M. Many will have the recording made at King's College Cambridge, England, the music is so beautiful and the fine English accents of the laymen who read the Nine Lessons so impressive one perhaps wonders if a small church should attempt it. The answer, is yes indeed! We are to remember the great contest that took place in the past, when all the cathedrals and monasteries in the world planned a great offering of song to the Lord. There was one lonely monastery, whose brotherhood suffering the results of cold damp cells had voices that sounded like gravel. The group felt very humble about joining in this great event, but they loved the Lord and sung with all their hearts his praises. I'm sure you know that the gravel throated monks pleased the Lord the most, because they gax e their best effort with their limited resource. Well, some of us have gravel voices in Bayfield, and some of us can sing like angels, so come and raise your voice at the church of your choice. St. Andrew's morning service is at 11 A.M. but on Dec. 18 their annual Candlelight Choral Service will be held at 7:30 P.M. The choir has been practising over time and can lead the congregation in the glorious music of the season. We remind everyone in advance that Christmas morning the service will be at 10 A.M. instead of the usual hour. Guides hold delicious bazaar Round about the village The Guides, Pathfinders and Brownies held a very successful bazaar on Saturday, one lady went home with some scrumptious butter tarts and there were all sorts of clever Christmas tree decorations for sale. The girls and the Mother's Auxiliary are to be congratulated. The group is happy to have welcomed eight new girls into their ranks at their enrollment night on Dec. 1. The Lions Club as well as playing Bingo on Dec. 12, have canvassed the town for the Canadian National Institute for the Blind. This organization is held to be the finest such institute in the world and through its services, those who will never see a child's wonder filled eyes at Christmas time, are given many aids to make life bearable, despite their handicap. If you haven't given yet contact Joe Mayman. The Lioness Children's Party will take place Dec. 17 at 2 p.m. in the Bayfield Com- munity Centre. That beautiful big Christmas Stocking will be given to the per- son with the lucky ticket at this time so be sure you have your ticket. Santa Claus, was there last year and a lot of Mothers came along with their children everybody welcome. The St. Andrew's U.C.W. have had their Christmas Party. It was on Dec. 5 and Flo Keillor, the President, presided. The members enjoyed singing several Christmas Carols with Rosemary Taman accompanying them at the piano. Rosemary Ferguson demonstrated the making of chocolate candy, with samples for each to taste. She is from the Ferguson Apiaries. The buffet luncheon by all reports was a feast of intriguing hors d' oeures. Sharon Sinnamon says she'll have Sears winter sale catalogue in a few days, and there are still some copies of the Christmas Gift box and the super sale books available at the Bayfield Village Market. Home from hospital are Jack Stirling, Bob Scott and Catharine Beatty but our own Ironsides, Ken Scotchmer remains in University hospital, suffering from pneumonia. He is improving but has to stay awhile yet. His many C.B. friends will miss his contact as do we all miss him.

Judging by the almost empty table, these Brownies did a good job of selling the ma- jority of their homemade baked goodies. (Wendy Somerville photo p Ever Youngs celebrate By Doris Hunter The ladies of St. Andrew's excelled themselves in serving a delicious turkey dinner with all the trimmings to about 60 guests, it being the occasion of the Ever Young Club Christmas Party. Rev. Paul Murray, minister of St. An- drew's offered the blessing. The Church parlor and tables looked festive with wreaths, candles, cones, poinsettias and beautiful floral arrangements, all arranged by Lulu Scotchmer, Carol Fisher, Elaine Dunn and Kathleen Siertsema. The yearly surprise of little favors were placed at each setting by Milvena Erickson. President Eather Wright had charge of the program. Monsignour Bourdeau was called on for a few words and he very fitting- ly brought in the meaning of a smile. Rev. Reynolds of the Anglican clergy stressed the point further and quoted one of his Mothers savings. "A frown takes 47 appears on page 8A of this edition. muscles while a smile takes only 13." Rev. Murray commented on the lines and wrinkles of some of the older generation which showed marks of courage, love, stress, and consideration and have still much to offer to the younge., folk. Why not smile instead of frown? Harry Baker gave a recitation composed by Edgar Guest entitled I'm going home for Christmas. Mrs. Reynolds presided at the piano for the singing of the carols. Mr. Albert Craig, his daughter Judy Hutchings and Wendy Hessel entertained the group with a few old favorites. Dorothy Cox thanked the ladies for a wonderful dinner and Elaine Dunn replied. All in all it was a happy occasion and the -Ever Young Club wish everyone a Very Happy Holiday. The .next meeting. of the Club is Jan. 26 at 1:30 p.m. in the municipal building.

The guest speaker was Domini Blythe from the Stratford Festival Theatre, a young lady of English origin who has now adopted the Canadian theatre, where her talents have delighted audiences during past seasons. Introducing her, Nick Hill described her as "vigorous and vital," and these two qualities certainly communicated themselves to her listeners, for whom she provided an autobiographical sketch. Born into a theatrical family, Miss Blythe said that she had never considered any other oc- cupation but acting. With delightful self - deprecating humor she described her early training, a stint in repertory theatre and with the Royal Shakespeare Company dur- ing which 'time obtained considerable ex- periences as "a non -speaking spear carry- ing female!" An opening at the Aldwych Theatre provided new challenge and also impressed her with the atmosphere. Here, as she was to learn elsewhere later, the im- portance of rapport between players and au- dience added a new dimension to her theatrical craft. The St. Laurence Centre saw her debut in Canada and revealed to her the importance of spontaneity. Several seasons followed at the Shaw Festival and then came her in- troduction to Stratford, Ontario. This she said, was the best thing th-,t Pver hannen'+1 to her; and she paid tribute to the direction and tutelage of Robin Phillips. Also the vi- sion and imagination which had resulted in the present theatre was a challenge of a dif- ferent kind, as well as the opportunities to perform with such stars as Maggie Smith. However, Miss Blythe recalled that when she had left the Royal Shakespeare Com- pany in England she had been told to come back in 10 years time. On her return she re- joined the company and spent the next three years, no longer a fledgling, but an ex- perienced actress in her own right. But by now, Miss Blythe continued, Strat- ford, Ontario had captured her imagination. The challenge of the thrust stage and close rapport with the audience was demanding. But it was also exciting, a live growing theatre, developing of itself without tradi- tional roots, yet entirely devoid of the sterili- ty generated by some modern structures. In anticipation of such a fascinating speaker the business of the meeting was condensed as much as possible with welcoming words from President, Elva Metcalf, reports from the officers and an ac- count of the 50th Anniversary meeting presented by Gwen Pemberton which some members had attended in November. Thanking Miss Blythe, Alec McAlister congratulated her, especially on the lively way in which she had presented her story, and on behalf of everyone present expressed their appreciation of the opportunity to meet her and share her experiences. Dec. 1 was enrolment night for eight new Bayfield Brownies. The newest members are, front row, left to right, Lisa Shepherd and Nancy Lefaive. Back row, Julie Crown, Hayley Linfield, Sheila Lindsay, Susan Madsen, Susan Kirton and Krista McAsh. In the back row are leaders Lise Lecompte, Commissioner Brady and Marsha Shepherd.

Township Council tidy up STANLEY - Stanley Township council tidied up some of the' remaining items in the 1983 budget at their December meeting. Cheques are being sent to the Huron Federa- tion of Agriculture, $400; Farmers' Union $100; Clinton Community Centre, $1,500; Hensall Community Centre, $1,500; Zurich Community Centre, $1,500; Bayfield Com- munity Centre, $1,500; Vanastra Recreation Centre, $1,000 and Town and Country Homemakers, $1,040. Tile drainage loan applications from six applicants totalling $35,500 were approved. Acting on a request for a clean-out of the Cooper drain at Lot 2, Concession 1, roads superintendent Bill Taylor will make an on- site inspection and talk to affected property owners before deciding if minor work will suffice, or a major clean-out is needed. The drain has not been thoroughly cleaned for 16 years. Stanley's annual township family day will be expanded and tied in with the provincial bicentennial. Council plans to have the of- ficial opening of their new municipal com- plex on the Saturday of the Labor Day weekend, and the traditional ball games, family picnic and pig roast the next day. Looking even further ahead, the council hopes to have a committee formed by January to begin plans for another celebra- tion in the township. To mark the 150 years that have passed since the first clerk was appointed in Stanley in 1836, council is talk- ing of a big party, complete with history book and home coming campaign. Work is progressing on schedule at the municipal complex. Cement for the floors was poured last week, and the roof is on the ,. work centre and the community centre. With two more weeks of good weather, the builders will be able to complete the roofing and the brickwork, and have the entire com- plex closed in before Christmas.
