(Anne Narejko photo ) Town escapes disaster By Doris Hunter Our little town escaped disaster early Sunday morning through the efforts of local firefighters, staff and owners of The Little Inn. Fire brolk'e' out at The Inn before 3 a.m. on Dec 9 when Abby Champ, the hotel's manager was awakened by the alarm system. Firefighters tell us that Abby did all the right things, by ensuring the safety of the guests, locating the danger area and alerting the fire department. Finding the telephone system already burnt out, Abby ran like mad through The New Ritz lawns to the new home of Gayle and Pat Waters, The Inn's owners. Bayfield firefighters answered the call and assistance was brought in from Goderich and Clinton forces. An extremely stubborn and elusive blaze' kept themen at The Inn until 8 o'clock in the morning. • Turn to page ll Announcement Hat'ter's Turkeys Fresh & Frozen We're n Full Government if rt/A t .V /,NAYTI?R S : ` TU.RK'EYS / 4 YOUNG 4 TURKEY JEUNE DINDON of new, but now inspected for your safety We will continue to provide Quality Farm Fresh TURKEY For best service, please order at 237-3561 Also available at O'Brien's Abattoir or Red .& White in Goderich By James Friel BAYFIELD - After asking Seaforth solicitor Paul Ross to investigate an offer by Harbour Lights Developments Ltd. to sell a parcel of land east of Highway 21 to the Village of Bayfield, council decided against making the land purchase. The parcel had originally been offered by the company to the village with marina development in mind. Tile letter sent to the village indicated that Harbour Lights would seek to develop the riverfront parcel into more marina space if the village rejected the offer. Accordingly, the price was set at $225,000. Following the review of the matter, council decided against purchasing the land for marina development and asked that a revised price, based on the use of the land as parkland, besubmitted. "We feel enough marina space has been developed," said Bayfield Clerk Pat Graham. The clerk said the review of the land file had shown that the installation of a marina would require rezoning. He said Harbour Lights had previously made a bid in 1980 or 1981 to have the land rezoned but had discontinued that bid. The clerk said Harbour Lights Developments has not yet replied to the request for a revised price.

Turkey and stuffing, lots of sweets arid lots of company call for a few standby dishes. I have never frozen it, but see ho reason why the favorite soup at our house, could not be stashed in the freezer. This is the way to make it. Three tablespoons butter, 1/4 cup sliced onion's, 1/4 cup diced celery,1 lb. fresh broc- coli or 1 pkg. frozen, the chopped stems are just fine, 11/2 cups homogenized milk, % cup table cream, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 tsp. pepper and 1/4 tsp. curry powder. This is the inggre- dient that makes the difference and chic en stock. I just use the powdered broth diluted with hot water. Melt the butter, add onions and celery and cook covered for five minutes on low heat. Add broccoli and cook till tender. Add re- maining ingredients, simmer for 10 minutes but do not boil. Process in a .blender and heat to serve. It is always a hit at our house. Should serve five or six but better double the recipe. Merry Christmas! Festive lights twinkle • By Doris.
