The request has- been deferred until the village budget is set. Before any decision is made, council hopes to speak with representatives from the Day Care Centre. • Bylaws Council passed a bylaw, prohibiting dumping of snow on village street or bridge allowances. The bylaw prohibits citizens from cleaning out their driveways, for instance, and piling the snow on the streets. It is designed to ensure safe movement of pedestrian and vehicle traffic. Anyone who contravenes the bylaw may be fined up to $300. A second bylaw, proposed by the Huron County Planning department was also passed.

Such meetings would be held to allow village citizens the opportunity to discuss matters with council representatives. He stressed that the committee themselves could not call a meeting and could not make decisions without ;the majority of council present. Applications Council studied a severance application from the Baptist Church. The church wants to create a larger parking lot by changing a lot line. This would make the manse property smaller, but still withing zoning regulations. The committee of adjustment will give final approval. Council approved two building permits, one from Ivan Perrin, for constrution of a house foundation and framing on property at the corner of•Cameron and Margaret Streets. The balance of the work will be completed in 1985. A second permit, from Harbours Lights Development, calls for a second. . story addition. to ' change , room facilities, to provide a meeting place for the Bayfield Yacht Club. By Shelley McPhee Bayfield council won't financially support the Tuckersmith Day Care Centre until they are allowed more input into the operation of the facilitiiy. The Tuckersmith Day Care Centre is a municipally operated pre-school facility operated in Vanastra attended by many area children. As in past years, the centre is asking Bayfield and other local municipalities to help offset the 1983 deficit, based on the number of children from different areas who attend. The centre finished 1983 with a deficit of $48,875. Of that the province paid 80 per cent of the loss, leaving Tuckersmith Township with an in-the-eed balance of $9,776.10. Based on the attendance of four Bayfield children, the village has been asked to contribute $71.14 to The centre. • • _hayfield • Cglapcil _studied the request at their Feb, 20 mea n -,g.

Invitations have been extended to all denominations in the village to take part, and the speaker will be Mrs. Jane Davidson frons Rrucefield. - The program for 1984 has been prepared by the Christian women in Sweden, a coun- try which today has the highest standard of living in the world. It is one of the few coun- tries with a national church to which about 95 per cent of the population nominally belong. The ordination of women has been permitted since 1958, and to date some 15 per cent of the local clergy are women. Beside the Church of Sweden there are. several established free churches including the. Pentecostal and Mission Covenant Chur- ch.

Wanda grew up in Webbtown, Ontario, a community about the same size as Bayfield, so she will feel at home in our small town acitivities. Ed is native to Ireland, his family residing in Dublin. The new hotel owners value the ,services of their experienced present staff and plan to maintain the standards of• quality food which has been established at The Albion. They also hope to provide banqueting facilities, but will not be introducing any radicalchanges to the hotel as yet. The Fogartys are charming people and The Albion is in good hands. Par a problem at Inn High snow drifts and narrow streets can - Mee problems, so Bayfield council and The Little inn have discovered. , Village council and The Little Inn owner, Pat Waters are presently working out an agreement to help resolve traffic congestion on Catherine Street. The narrow village street, which runs adjacent to The Little Inn is used as a parking area for patrons of The Inn. However with high snow banks,. cars have been forced to park on the road allowance. This has caused traffic congestion, and limited access to the snow plow and. fire equipment. At council's Feb. 20 meeting, Reeve Dave Johnston pointed out, "Mr. Waters isn't the problem, it's his patrons." Although Catherine Street allows parking on both sides of the street, council is considering limiting parking ,to one side only. Reeve Johnston pointed out that this would be a time consuming solution, but noted that he hoped the problem could be removal. Mr. Waters offered this proposal to council in the form of a letter,, which stated that he would make a .cash donation to the snow removal budget. Council studied the proposal but decided that this would not resolve the problem. Councillor Helen Owen noted that, with the new addition to The Inn and increased patronage, parking could continue to be a problem on Catherine Street. The parking congestion on the village street not only troubles the village, but also detracts from the attractive outdoor verandah at The Inn where guests, enjoy summer lunches and refreshments. Limiting parking on one side of Catherine Street is one solution that council is studying. This would not limit The Inn's parking area, Reeve Johnston noted, since the Main Street offers ample parking. At their Feb. 20 meeting, council gave road superintendent Rick Penhale the authority to contact the Goderich OPP if resolved. parked cars on Catherine Street impeded White The Little Inn owner said that he snow -removal,.. -didn't betieve it :;vas .�his-respons.bility,'ts.. • _-_ .. -w �PeveE that few cars are __r ova sno ' from va ey streets he did ticketed or towed away.

Clubs visit flower show By Helen Owen A dozen members of Bayfield Garden Clutz-joived.. y_v►th the„members of Goderich Club for - an outing --to the Toronto Flower Show on Feb. 23, organized by Mrs._Norman Hazlitt. It was a beautiful day for such an excursion and by mid -clay the group arrived at the show held in the Automotive Building, C.N.E. • , From then until 5 p.m. the visitors ex- plored every aspect of the show, delighting in the wonderful garden displays, and tak- ing the opportunity to visit the stand of the radio personality Mr. Ken Reeves and seek advice. Greenhouses and their exotic con= tents, such as a profusion of orchids, were among the exhibits, and a number of nurseries . were represented with fine displays and supplies of every kind of seed, corm, bulb and plant. - But gardens are not just plants, and at the show it was possible to inspect all the latest and most sophisticated gardeningequip- ment, greenhouse constructions and garden furniture, the latter from the simplest to the most elegant.
