Graham Clerk -Treasurer Village of Bayfield Box 99 BAYFIELD, Ontario NOM 100 (519) 565-2455 DATED AT THE VILLAGE OF BAYFIELD THIS 27th DAY OF' MARCH, 1985. Our organized baseball teams include two ladies' group, the Bayfield Babes and the Shadows. The men play as the Nighthawks and the Flyers Wendy Hessel is the gal to call if you have boys and girls wanting to play. This year she will have teams in three age groups. Hurrah for Wendy and her faithful helpers. The next meeting of the Recreation Com- mittee will be April 22 at 7:30 p.m. ate' the Municipal Bldg. One by one the blinds are coming down from the windows of our Main Street Stores. The Village Store opened this weekend and will be there each weekend from now on. The Red Pump Gift Shop, opening again at its former location will be available too over the holiday. Mrs. George too, is ready and the Wardrobe hopes to offer the latest fashions at that time. Long ago, before every teenager drove a car, one went to the dance in Jowett's Grove and walked back to the Village, stopping just before you came to the old bridge to have one of Mustard's super hogdogs. No one ever tasted hot dogs like those, except in Florida. Mr. Mustard always said. He must have loved young people because they cer- tainly loved him. Then you walked over that truly romantic bridge and climbed the hill all through the cedars to come out not far from where the Willock's home is now. A bench was thoughtfully provided for the weary half way up the hill and here you could sit with your beau and discuss the migratory habits of the eel, if that was' on your mind, all this on the strength of that hotdog. Bayfield is much too sophisticated for such goings on today, but hotdogs and ' hamburgers are just as popular, even if you do go by car to the drive-in. , Good news for all, the Wettlaufers will be smiling behind the counters at the Woodland Drive In starting this weekend. It may be a bit brisk for enjoying the pleasant grounds, but once you've tasted those hamburgers, you won't be worrying about that. Easter bunnies By Helen Owen What I think is very funny - the practice of the springtime bunny. WHY should this lit- tle furry beast distribute eggs for Easter feast? WHEN those acquainted with his habits, know hens lay eggs.- not Mrs. Rabbits! HOW do 'they carry them around? Maybe Alley roll.them on the ground. WHERE do they pack them? Where's their store? • WHO says which children the eggs are for? Their reasons don't matter. Why should they explain? As long as they do it again and again.

Several carloads of seniors descended upon Schilbe's sugar bush in Goderich Township, near Bayfield, on March 27 to get a look at Albert and Doris Sehilbe's operation. The group stocked up with the couple's produce until next year's visit. (James Friel photo) In celebration of Easter By Doris Hunter First things first so our thoughts this week, should be and are, centred on the ser- vices to be celebrated in our churches to .mark this most of all holy time on the church calendar. St. Andrew's United Church in Bayfield will observe Good Friday at an evening ser= vice commencing at 7:30 p.m. Easter Sun- day congregation and friends are invited t greet the dawn at 6 a.m. on the rear lawn of the manse for a Sunrise Service followed by breakfast at the church. Then at 11- a.m. the conununion will be offered. Trinity Anglican will have' a Maundy Thursday service at 7:30 p.m. for the Stripp- .irig of the Altar.. the Rev. George Anderson will be the preacher, that evening. -Good Fri- day the hour to attend is 12 noon, continuing till 3 o'clock. Easter Sunday as usual at 9:45 in the morning. Palm Sunday has always been a time of celebration, the weather was very unkind but the brave souls who weathered the wind and the rain, took part in a traditional Bless- ing of the Palins in the Parish Hall, after which led by the.choir and church officials, the congregation proceeded into the church. Since this procession has not been observed at Trinity in my own memory, Mr. Bell has kindly written the following words on the background of the custom. Processions A procession before church is a popular feature of modern Anglican worship: unfor- tunately the' r ationale which lies behind such •a ceremony is frequently misunderstood. The so-called "proces- sional" before 'turning Prayer was'a mid- Victorian invention by those who did not understand the raison d'etre of a procession. A choir should enter by the shortest route and without undue ceremony or any singing and it should not be 'preceded by a server carrying a precessional cross. There are many occasions when a particular service needs to begin other than with a hearty belt of music. A true procession is more in' the nature of a pilgrimage, with a definite ob- jective in view. • it might be a Litany sung in procession: or a silent walk with Collect and antiphon sung or said at particular points on the journey to the altar. Pain Sunday The procession of palms on this day is very ancient in its origins.

Mr. Aitken, whose family had come to the area in 1840, told his listeners how he had first beco involved in the newspaper business onpart-time basis. That was in 1965. Over the years it had become a full- time occupation, and during that period he had seen the acquisition of local • newspapers, and the responsibility for the publication of Anglican Church periodicals, the latter covering practically the whole of the country. With particular reference to the Clinton News -Record and the Goderich Signal -Star, Mr. Aitken presented a video which il- lustrated the sophisticated methods of pre- sent day newspaper operations, and com- pared them with those techniques of his predecessors. Referring to the Signal -Star, he said that this dated back to 1847 when it was known as the Huron Signal -Star and was established as the first newspaper in the area. Amalgamation with the Goderich Star oc- curred in 1961, and the Clinton News -Record was acquired in 1967. Now the preparation of seven weekly newspapers requires a staff of 136. Mr. Aitken also paid tribute to the 20 local correspondents whose contributions provide a wealth of local material. Included in the materialwhich Mr. Aitken had brought along was a photo copy of a page from the Huron newspaper dated 1885. It demonstrated the rivalry which existed between newspapers at that time when political lines were strongly drawn and the views expressed were highly uncomplimen- tary! A large file of old newspapers gave members an opportunity to examine these, from which the News -Record published ex- tracts each week, thus maintaining.a con- tinuity between today's news and that of yesteryear. Mr. Aitken said that it was the policy of the Signal -Star to retain bound copies, although they were also microfilm- ed, and the latter duplicated,were also stored in the University of Ontario and the Legislative Archives. In conclusion Mr. Aitken told his audience about other publications, other than newspapers, published by the Goderich Signal -Star. These included Focus, Topic and Leisure Life samples of which were displayed. Euchre Club In euchre games played on March 27 the results were as follows: ladies' high - Jess Blair: ladies'. low - Phyllis Heard, men's high - Ed Strachan; men's low - George Bell; lone hands - Mary Mair and John Lind- say (Township). the next meeting' of the club will be on Wednesday, April 10. Bayfield Garden Club The next meeting of the Bayfield Garden Club will be at 8 p.m. in the Municipal Building. The date is Easter Monday, April 8 and it is hoped that members and visitors will come along to hear Mr. . George Pagwoski whose subject is 'Growing Roses'. Mr. Pagwoski is from the Royal Botanical Gardens in Burlington, an expert on roses, so this promises to be a most interesting and informative evening. • Arena News To conclude the hockey season a fun tour- nament was arranged last Saturday with six teams taking part. The `Orange' team were the winners. A well attended dance on Saturday ended the season. But that's not all - other exciting news this week is the birth of a son to Arena Manager, John Graham and his wife Jeanette. This is a goal and assist of which they are very pro- ud! hymns and antiphons and carrying bran- ches of palm and olive. Anciently, every cathedral, abbeyand parish church had a blessing of palms and a procession before service on this day. There are occasions when the whole con- gregatiop should be asked to take part in a procession. Anglican worship tends to be far too static and anything that can bring ordered and purposeful movement into it to be welcomed. This is one such occasion. For the choir merely to walk around the aisles of the church singing 'All glory, laud and honor' does not meet the situation.ade- quately. Where there is a church school, in- stitute, or hall not too far from the church the people' should be asked to assemble there with the priest and his assistants. The palmbranches will be blessed at a table on which has been spread a clean linen cloth. The procession sets out from the school or hall, which represents Bethany, and pro- ceeds to the church, which represents Jerusalem. On the way suitable hymns are sung. When the procession arrives at the • main entrance to the church the deacon or priest reads the short Gospel (Matt. xxi:1- 9 ); The whole assembly then enters the church singing 'All glory, laud and honor'. I cribbed from The Parson's Handbook, Per- cy Dearmer, rev. 1965, Oxford.) Recollections of Palm Sunday in Latin countries bring the memory of whole palm branches woven into fanciful and wonderful shapes. These were then duly blessed and waved vigorously as the procession wound its way, often quite far, from one part of town or village to the parish church. The choir led with due decorum, but the par- ticipants were not beyond a hearty Hosanna or two. Some of our churches even today decorate the reredos of the altar with some quite remarkable confections. If you're interested, come join us at Mid- dleton on Saturday evening at 7:30 for the I shortened), Faster Vigil and Lighting Of The Paschal Candle. They were hoping to have some baptisms ( the theme is the bap- tismal conversant) but it looks less likely. It is however very dramatic, beginning in total darkness.

Another tradition was for the monks to wash the feet of the poor on this day. English sovereigns for many centuries have marked the day with the distribution of money food and clothing to "as many old men and as many old women as the sovereign is years of age." Special Maundy money is coined for the occasion. Seniors back task force Hayfields' Ever Young ' Club met on March 28 in'the Municipal Building. Presi- dent Esther Wright was in the chair. Jeanne Lindsay was appointed to repre- sent the Club at the Annual Meeting and Banquet of the Town and Country Ilolnemakers to be held in the Stanley Township Hall on April 9. A motion was carried to donate $50.00 to the Huron County Task Force on Family Violence. A second motion approved a dona- tion of $50.00 to the Clinton Hospital Aux- . iliary. Transportation was arranged for members who plan to attend the Spring Ral- ly of Zone 8 of the United Senior Citizens of Ontario to be held in the Clinton Town Hall on April 17. The President gave notice that the Annual Meeting of U.S.G.O. will take place on August 12-14 at Queen's University. The organization has been instructed to speed up the business of the Convention by improving the process of considering the resolutions which are later presented to the Provincial Government in a brief to present facts on which to base legislation for the needs of seniors in Ontario. The recommendations outlined in the brief are giden proper con- sideration and have resulted in the past in such legislation as free prescription drugs for pensioners. After a break for refreshments a game of euchre was enjoyed. The ladies' high was won by Maud Heston and ladies' Iow by Esther Makins. Frank McClinehey was men's high winner and Harry Baker Was low. Pottery Club recognition By Helen Owen HAYFIELD - Remember the delightful series of tiles which were produced by the Bayfield Pottery Club as their Bicentennial project? Some one else noticed too! In November 1984, Margaret Chapman of Bayfield received a letter from Stephen Otto of Toronto, in which he said that he had read about the tiles in the Clinton News -Record. What was even more interesting, he offered the club an opportunity to produce a special plaque for the house in which' he had grown up. The commission was accepted and Leda McAlister designed and glazed the tile, bas- ed on a series of photographs provided by Mr. Otto. The two firings were carried out by the Pottery Club. Mr. Otto's acknowledg- • ment quoted below, expresses his apprecia- tion. "Dear Potters: I am very pleased with the plaque you have made me from the photographs I supplied. It has been a challenging commission, I do not doubt, but has resulted in something which will give me great pleasure every time it catches my eye. Again, many thanks for agreeing to do the piece and for succeeding so well in the work." The remuneration received has been handed over to the club to assist in its future endeavours. Another interesting fact is that at the time the Bayfield Heritage District was designated, Mr. Otto was the Executive Director of the Heritage Division, Ministry of Conservation arid Culture. •
