Ranging from antique family heirlooms, treasured from one generation to another, quilts with accompanying stories, to contemporary designs and historic records, every one demanded the attention of the viewer. Apart from the adtual quilting process, the 'intricate designs, geometric, floral, traditional, embroidered; made from kits or original patterns expressed the skills, patience and artistry of the makers. In some instances it was the theme, as in the Bicentennial quilt, in other it was the choice of materials, the balance of color and intensity of technical application. What was even more interesting was that in the composition of any quilt, which after all covers a large area. the mathematical precision combined with imagination resulted in such a wide variety of concepts. Inspecting the extensive display not only produced a feeling of awe when considering the tremendous amount of work involved, but also reflected the ideas of quilters and the generations which were depicted. Actual garments painstakingly converted in one instance, velvet patchwork in another, delicate cross-stitch, applique, meticulously tucked panels, all representing hours and hours of concentrated effort. The oldest quilt on display was the work of the Stirling sisters circa 1823, while another dated back to 1855. The organizers are certainly to be congratulated on their project, so appropriate for Bicentennial and offering quilters, and non-quilters an opportunity to appreciate the quilter's art.

In brilliant sunshine participants in the Grand Parade lined up to be judged at Pioneer Park, and then set off in fine ',still with music provided by the Pipe Band from Ipperwash. From Tom Penhale's handsome Percherons to one of the tiniest entrants a little Cabbage Patch person, the parade offered a variety of interesting, original and amusing spectacles. But that was only the beginning of a very full day for the organizers who had provided all sorts of other entertainments for young and old such as arm -wrestling and log sawing to mention just a couple. In the community centre the Penny Sale was in progress as members of the public selected the prizes they would like to win. One small boy, after due deliberation, decided he would try for two large dog bowls for his sister, and the subsequent conversation overheard went as follows: His companion, "But she won't want those! She hasn't got a dog." And the reply: "No I know; but that chap she is going to marry is a big eater." . By the time 4:30 p.m.' arrived many people had worked up a considerable appetite and ready to satisfy it were the combined Lions and Lioness who served out the delicious Fish Fry supper. Out in the Fair Ground the Fire Department and the `Nighty Hawks' were engaged in a rather unusual ball game. Certainly some of the balls were unusual including grapefruit and balloons full of water! But what could be better on a hot, sultry evening? Finding out who actually won does not seem to be clearly defined -the Young and old got in the act on Saturday at the annual All Day, All Age Bayfield Lion and Lioness celebrations. The day began with a parade that marched down the village's main street and proceeded onto the community centre for the fair. (Wendy Someville photo) girls say they did - it just seems to depend on who you ask. Nevertheless, those stalwart firemen were appreciated and Don Warner and Laurie Talbot were presented . with travel bags as a momento of the occasion, and there is. no doubt that both players and spectators had an hilarious time. • For those who preferred a less energetic form of entertainment there was Bingo - and that was certainly very popular. So were the prizes! The highest - $300 went to Leah Breckenridge of Goderich. Stan Kunder of Stratford picked up $130, and Muriel Byers of Clinton won $87. `Share of the Wealth' $73 - went to Alma Winkworth of Bayfield. 482 3 924 The Carnival Draw winner was Fred Kent of Cambridge, Ont. and four prizes of $25 went to Jean Reid of Varna, Ev Earl, Audrey Graham and Frank Hill, all of Bayfield: The' day finished up with a dance, which like everything else on the program was a greatsuccess and well attended. Congratulations to all the Lions and Lioness for the tremendous job tliey undertook in setting up such a comprehensive programme. Lists of prize winners were not available at the time of going to press but it is hoped to publish these next week. CJ .IN , ;'*S° . ?I ,'1NEDNES*Y, AUGUST 8, a;I 1'AGE (Won. ,control -*►id.. fro1rlp e�J0 e Onsideral3le discussion dealt with the Pioneer Park owned prd .erty along the river bank and down on a ,beach. With regard to the former it wae'con€irmed that this part should be assigned to the village by quit deed The procedure with regard to the latter section proved to be controversial, and after everyone had expressed their points. of view two motions were made. The first was that the directors should undertake to ensure that an appropriate notation on the records with the register office be made so that the Park's possession of the area was clearly indicated. The second motion was that for the moment no further action should be .taken with regard to the beach, other than the procedure outlined in the first, and providing legal approval was obtained that it was acceptable procedure, Pioneer Park Association should reiterate its claim to this area on a year by year basis. It was felt that in this way . the Association would be safeguarding its future. Mrs. Tory Mackenzie presented a report on the rummage sale, whichonce again, had proved a highly successful event and hard also proved a profitable venture. She thanked all those who had co-operated so loyally in the actual 'hard labor' of getting it all together. She bad also got together an overall outline of the routine involved in organizing the project for the guidance of future planners. Prof. Walter Thompson reported on the entertainment programs and expressed thankr;l to Ainsley Willock and Kathy Tillman for handling of the film productions and the projectionist whose skills had adde to the presentations. The Ray Seale concert had been very popular, and although unfortunately, the Salvation Army Band concert had to be cancelled the Goderich Laketown Band would be performing on August 18. Collections did not entirely meet the cost of entertainment which had to be subsidized from the general fund. Looking ahead Prof. Thompson said that it had been discovered that there were some very talented performers in Bayfield, and next year it was hoped that they would take part. The membership secretary reported on the present roll and stated that a card index system had now been introduced. Other business included resignations, retirements and nominations to serve on the executive. The meeting adjourned at mid-day.
