This event was featured in an article by Mrs. Lance in "Canada Quilts" last November. ' In the concluding paragraph it states: "Everyone of the quilts in the show, whether contemporary or antique demonstrated that when a person uses a tool, his mind and his heart, he is an artist. This was most certain- ly the point which came over at the Quilt show. Entries covered contemporary, anti- que, victory and best quilt with a Bicenten- nial scheme." ' The article describes the prize winning en- tries in each class, the diversity of talent, sewing skill and imagination, which made each and every one a delight. Here was history, tradition, as well as a reflection of the times in which quilters lived. It is also interesting to note that much of the work was done by very young people at a time- when imewhen young girls from an early age realized the imj"rtance of sewing skills, the prac- tical purposes for which they might be employed, the lifestyle they interpreted and the treasures they eventually became. Another aspect of the show was the fact that quilting is still ,a popular occupation, and for future generations today's quilts will also become part of the family heritage. Due to Mrs. Lance's enthusiasm and hard work on the project there is no doubt that the display provided a very special contribution to Bayfield's Bicentennial.

To show appreciation Society - hold art y Over 50 guests enjoyed a full course din- ner at the Bayfield Village Inn, then pro- ceeded to the Sugar Bush Camp to socialize. A group of the male guests had come prepared to show Doug what "life begins at 40:' means. They doused him in a whipped cream bath which was quite an introduction to the creamy years ahead, they were bent on wishing him. More food appeared, with the buffet supper provided by the hostess. Quite a party, quite a party. Congratula- tions and best wishes Doug, "may the wind be always at your back". A few fishermen were to be seen, casting their lines from the south pier on Sunday and students on the school break were heading off to try their luck, hoping for rain- bow trout. A lone Canada Goose was to be seen sailing in dignified isolation in the open water off the end of the pier, while the number of cars on the roadway made walk- ing a bit precarious. Flooded cellars are the order of the day. Keep an eye on your sump pump, they have been known to. fail, as I know too well.

(Anne Narejko photo) Spring signs and old shoes By Doris Hunter Yoa can feel the pulse of spring even if the snow drops do look a little brow beaten after that last attack of winter. A walk down Main Street showed Alice Quick and Sylvia Goz- zard tryingon their Treasure Tree Sign at their new location, Butternut Corners. They are delighted with their new store. Harry Israel's magnificent dogs were asleep in the shop window of the former Red Pump Gift Shop so'there is action going on their too.

Here I found the the answersto the puzzle of the five shoes found by' the Koks in the renovation last year_ to their home on Louisa Street. The proprietors of the Tudor Cottage, had found a cache of ancient artifacts when opening an old walled in fireplace, among them a very, very old shoe. These articles had all been authenticated,- with the story that a shoe must always be placed when building a house, somewhere usually a chimney — to ward off evil. The builders of the Kok's home must have been superstitious to place five shoes in the ceiling, for the number five is also an in- surance against evil. Hence the collection of hands to be seen in one of our village homes.

I must comment, that attending a special showing tracing the history of the lotus design in Chinese ymbolism,at the prestigious British Museum in London, I could not fail to observe, the presentation to be quite dull in comparison to the special exhibit of "The Silk Road" shown at the Royal Ontario Museum a year or so ago. Our institutions stand up well in comparison. these bonspiel winners, and also to the Wm-. ners of the regular curling season.

Archttect speaks at nieeting concrete pad to display a locomotive. Today's problem, said Mr. Borgal was that the building no longer conformed to fire and safety standards, and therefore, if it was to continue the building had to be 'amended accordingly. By Helen Owen The February 25 meeting of the Bayfield Historical Society was preceded by an ex- cellent luncheon prepared and served by the ladies of the United Church. The new Presi- dent, Rev. George Youmatoff, welcomed everyone. The speaker, architect Christopher Borgal, was introduced by Elva Metcalf, and the subject of his talk, one of con- siderable local concern, was the Goderich Pioneer Museum. Having been involved in the studies re- quired by Huron County for the assessment of the situation, Mr. Borgal stressed the im- portance of the museum and its contents. It was, he said an intrinsic part of the county heritage and contained one of the most fan- tastic collections of artifacts in the pro- vince. Outlining the history and beginning of the museum, Mr.. Borgal told of J.H. Neill, who had not only accumulated this remarkable collection, but who had been ahead of his time in constructing working models. He ex- plained how the school building, which had. accommodated the original display had been added to over the years, including a The estimated cost of the work, continued Mr. Borgal, was in the region of $3 -million, which seemed a formidable figure, and yet in reality amounted to just less than $6. per head for the county. Although museum attendance had declin- ed in recent years, Mr. Borgal- outlined the con ctive suggestions for overcoming thi ese included additional programs, spe ia1 exhibitions, especially related to local events and festivals, arrangements for satellite displays. The resources were there and could be utilized to promote the museum and encourage visitors to visit and support the survival of this unique part of Huron County's heritage. Rev. Douglas Pitts thanked Mr. Borgal for his clear exposition of the situation which clearly indicated that every effort should be pursued to save the Museum. Dur- ing the question period it was also obvious that public interest is lively and supportive. Corning soon to Bayfield !
