1 Over the weekend August 4,
and 0:an unusual art exhibition was held at
the QaUery on: the Bluff, the home of Alee
and Leda McAlister. Some 60 paintings were
Qu daSP1 Y,• the work of I,eda•over the past
four years and ranging from works.;.in oils to
water ' collars. Theyreflected the.
surroundings, environment and mood of the
artist over this period and captured the
ambience of seasonal change and the
avtistryF•of nature.
Some 300 people took advantage of the
,opportunity to view the pictures which had
been displayed to great advantage by family
Wends Neal and Jean Luebke. Neal is a
teacher of autnanities from Minneapolis
who voluntarily undertook the task of
organizing the display as well as acting as a
congenial host. There was no doubt that the
exhibition generated a good deal of public
interest. People telephoned to ensure that
they could come and see the paintings, and
furthermore, by the time the exhibition
closed over twenty pictures had been sold.
Another interesting note was the family
atmosphere because as well as the paintings
there were fine examples of photographic
work displayed; and these pictures, taken by
Alec provided an interesting contrast
between the art and eye of the photographer
and the artist.
Another family member, Ruth McAlister
Williams, contributed examples of her
original pottery, adding, ,yet another
dimension to the shape, texture and color of
the exhibition.
Living within the environs of a small.
community where the opportunities'for such
a display are rare, it was apparent that
there was widespread interest, and that the
visitors to the exhibition fully appreciated
the access, afforded to them. Not only to see
and purchase the picture, but to view them
in such delightful surroundings.
The success of the venture and the
encouragement generated have indicated
that this is the route the gallery should take.
Plane fire ilie hand for a further showing in
,November, and 1VIr. and Mrs. Luebkre are
planning to return next year and againlend
their enthusiastic support to another
exhibition.
Public meeting of local
architectural conservation
committee
This meeting will take place on August 16
at 8 p.m. in the Municipal Building, and, it is
hoped, that the PUBLIC will make a point of
attending.
Public input is needed and this annual
event offers an excellent opportunity for the
community to stand and be counted, and ask
questions and present their views. With very
limited funds it is not easy to maintain
communication but, nevertheless, the
committee has to work and endeavour to
achieve its goals. Understanding the
complicities involved, the amount of
volunteer effort expended on the project is
important and could, no doubt, help to
clarify a number of queries. Whether you
are interested, concerned or just curious
don't be apathetic, come to the meeting.
Penny Sale
As always the Penny Sale was a popular
event and a great success. The Bayfield
Lioness would like to thank all the
merchants in Clinton, Goderich, Zurich,
Varna, Bayfield as well as local area
residents for their generosity in contributing
gifts for the Penny Sale. The response, as
always was tremendous, and although it is
not possible to name each individual the
appreciation is none the less sincere.
Prize winners in the draw were: Two
tables made by John Watson won by Garnet
Wright and Joan Milner: a lamp won by
Mary Mair: set of frying pans won by David
Homan: gold necklace won by Tom
Johnson.
11 party
tradition revived
' By Roris.Hunter
Bayfield` has been recuperating from the
gala Civic' Holiday weekend, nothing to do
but go watch the sunset andlook forward to
conning events.
The first of these takes place this
Saturday August 10, from 5 to 7 p.m. when
the Trinity Ladies Guild will have a
bountiful supper arranged at Camborne
House, the Anglican Rectory, in the Garden.
This is a revival of a custom which prevail-.
ed in the '20s and '30s,
It is the time for visitors to Bayfield
summer residents and all our people to
gather on the lawn of this historic -building
and break bread together. Debbie Wain is
the president of .the group, all very good
cooks and all supplied with tickets for you to
buy now, or at the gate. The new Rector of
the church the Reverend Aubrey Bell and
his wife will be present, an opportunity to
welcome them to village life.
Tickets are a nominal $5 for adults and $2
• for children 12 and under. The same
delicious hams, cooked by expert
parishioners will be the entree as the
restaurants call it.
The annual ecumenical church service
will be held on Sunday August 19 in Pioneer
Park commencing at 7 p.m. The clergy of
various denominations arrange the service
and this year the Reverend Paul Murray,
minister of St. Andrew's United Church is
heading the committee.
This really lovely service was first
thought and celebrated for Canada's
Centennial Celebration and it was the
inspiration of the Reverend Donald Beck at
that time pastor at St. Andrew's, He had
enthusiastic support from his fellow
clergyman and now it is a highlight of the
Pioneer Park's -summer program.
Regardless of your religious persuasion do
come, bring your own lawn chair and be
prepared to sing.

Garden Club notice board
for community purposes
incorporating
THE BAYFIELD BUGLE
THE BLYTH STANDARD
By Helen.Owen
For some time now the Garden Club has
provided a notice board outside the Post"
Office. This was done for two reasons: 'to.
prevent trees being damaged , as had
occurred in the past, and to ensure that
there was one place for the display of
community notices.
It was certainly not intended to be used for
commercial purposes, and as this does not
seem to be appreciated it was felt necessary
to stress this point.

Dr. Cliapinan is well along in his 90's now,
living in ,Florida and sure to be much in-
terested in the Pioneer Park development
as he was an early director of the Associa-
tion. It was he who planted iris around the
guard stakes at the Park, which have alas
gone over the cliff long since.
The Reverend George Youmatoff
officiated at the Annual Church Service held
by Middleton St. James Church in the Park,
which was late. Stewart Middleton's pride
and joy. It has been the custom over the
years, for many from Bayfield to attend and
this p year was no exception. It is a lovely
spot, the whispering ., pines, blue sky and
sparkling water, certainly make you believe
that, "God is in his heaven all's right with
the world," despite the warmongers.
Friends will be relieved to hear that Alan
Galbraith, though still in very serious
condition in University Hospital Londono is
showing some small signs of improvement.
Mr. and Mrs. Harold Beakhust, who Have
b.een keeping the Galbraith store going since
his accident, visited him on Sunday and are
cautiously optimistic for his eventual
recovery.
This week however, Mrs. Grace Duggan,
Eleanor Watson and Roy Cox have entered
