SANITATION
Ripun a
By Doris Hunter
A serious accident occured on the curve of
Highway 21 right by the United Church on
Dec. 15.
A north bound car, crashed into a
transport heading south. Help was quickly
on the spot as Dr. Darcy Bruce heard the
impact and the fire fighter's new equipment
was used to release the entrapped driver. A
very sobering event for us, in the midst of
our Christmas celebrations.
It was from the pen of the poet Thomas
Tussor, who lived way back in the 1500's,
this well known verse appeared, "At
Christmas play, and make good cheer, For
Christmas comes but once a year."
Families all over town are readying

Well Marg not only won a home computer,
she's the wife of Joe Mayman this year's
president of the Bayfield Lions Club, and
this village won a lucky ticket when the
Lions Club came to Bayfield.
Read these figures and remember, this is
the second arena the club, with the
assistance of the Lioness, and you and I,
have built in our time. Their donations to the
now debt free building from 1978 to 1983
amount to $32,900. this year $2.000 also went
for the new ice machine, $1,802.69 for win-
dows to view the activities on the ice, and
31,009 and a lot of tree labor installed the
fence around the fairgrounds. Rental and
ice time at the facility brought $6,113 over
the last five years. Any computer would tell
you, that comes to $43,825.09!
The organization has 40 members meets
twice a month and supports many outer
worthwhile projects. How is that for a
record?
The Lioness, sister organization had a
special party for the very young on Friday:
Santa Claus was there and I have it on good
authority that he'll be here, with his
reindeer on the night of Dec. 24.
Bridge Club help Salvation Army
On Dec. 14 the Bayfield Ladies Afternoon Mildred Fellows; second, Evelyn Holmes;
Bridge Club held their annual Christmas
luncheon at the Bayfield Village Inn.
After a delightful meal the ladies
proceeded with their bridge game and the
winners were as follows: high score,
low, Beryl Hogg; slam, Bess Pounder and
Fern Baker; surprise draw, Esther Makins.
As now has become customary, the club
also made its annual donation towards the
Salvation Army.
