Oen May 2, at 2 p.m. the ladies of Trinity
Angljcan Church Women's group will be
holding an auction sale in the Parish Hall.
This is not the first time, and those who
have attended before will recall the fun, not
to mention the bargains, - all part of the
afternoon's entertainment. The proceeds go
to work in the mission field, and therefore,
the ladies are anxious that the sale should be
a success. Items donated for auction should
_ be brought to the Parish Hall on Thursday
morning from 10 a.m. (you have to go out to
auction sale
vote that day, in any event). Don't be shy
about contributing, and remember some of
those items you have tucked away, not
perhaps just right for your decor, or
duplicates, may be just the things that other
people are looking for. We have already
been promised some quality items, so
maybe it will be an opportunity to find an
unusual gift - you can never start your
Christmas shopping too early!
At the end of the proceedings you will be
refreshed with tea and it is hoped that once
again, there will be strong support for this
venture.
Diamond being moved
By Doris Hunter
The Recreation Committee is moving
ahead with a very expensive but necessary
project, the moving of the baseball dia-
, mond, to allow for the installation of lights.
There will be a new back stop, fences at
the first and third line and bleachers, which
will be a permanent fixture and of course
the lights, essential for evening games. It is
a very big endeavour and Joan Cluff and her
committee have come up with some very
good ideas to raise the necessary money.
Baseball is such a popular game in town,
we certainly need the facilities and the in-
terest of the community, that means a
cheering section, especially the junior
games.
One of their fund-raising Methods is the
monthly lottery. There are a limited
number of tickets sold actually no more
than 200. You have good odds to win the $50
monthly draw and at the end of the 12 mon-
ths, a chance at first, second and third
prizes of, $200, $100 and $50, that's 15 draws
for only $12, and all the money goes to one of
Bayfield's most popular activities. There
are a few tickets left, get yours now.

Patrol padre in Clinton
CLINTON - Wesley -Willis United Church
has the good fortune to be celebrating its
129th year on May 5 and Rev. Arch Grant of
Sydney, Australia has been asked to speak
at the event.
Rev. Grant is a retired minister of the
Presbyterian Church and and a friend of
Rev. Jim Bechtel of Wesley -Willis Church.
The Australian spent much of his time in a
parish covering 160,000 square miles in the
Australian inlands.
The young Rev Grant, accompanied by
his wife, accepted a call as a patrol padre to
Tennant Springs, a mining town which could
"provide the scenario for an American wild
west show."
There was a telegraph and twice weekly
air service but not a phone. The only way out
of the settlement was on a two wheel track
which led to Alice Springs 300 miles away. It
was often washed out during the wet season
and unpassable even to pack horses.
"Patrol padres had to have a well equip-
ped vehicle, specially modified. They had
long range petrol tanks, plenty of water and
any spare parts that might be needed.
"The problem is the tremendous distance.
And the problem for inexperienced people is
water." Once a man was found around noon
after he abandoned his vehicle at about 2
a.m. He was without water during that time
and he died in less than 12 hours from
dehydration.
"Unless you know what you're doing, it is
a very dangerous country."
The inlands were developing as the
Australian frontier territory during that

mining towns some communication in the
event of illness.
A contract was negotiated with an airline
for the use of a plane to transport patients
and doctors: the Royal Flying Doctor Ser-
vice was born.
Several nursing homes each staffed with
two nurses for patients with longer term
maladies were set up and the Australian in -
lands had a measure of medical protection.
Rev. Grant knew both these men, legends
of the Australian frontier, while he was a
patrol padre.
His respect for Skipper Partridge resulted
in Rev. Grant writing a book about the man
who worked to try to upgrade the spiritual
and physical conditions of the hardy
residents.
"I felt his was a story which should be
told," said the Australian of his decision to
write the book. The proceeds from the book
sales, which doesn't have "a wide circula-
tion but reviewers and readers have liked
it", have been directed to a museum
dedicated to John Flynn.
The museum in Alice Springs was the first
hospital designed by Rev. Flynn for the
climatic conditions, including a built in cool-
ing system.
The hospital was later turned into a hostel
for the women of the bush. They would go to
the hospital about a month before the baby
was due and stay about a month after birth
to ensure complications wouldn't develop.
Then they would return to the remote cattle
stations and mining towns in which they lit-
ed.
His success with this first volume has pro-
mpted him to write another on the church in
Darwin, a coastal city to the north of Alice
Springs. The research is currently being
completed, temporarily interrupted by this ..
trip to North America and Europe.
The Grants now live in Dee Why, a seaside
suburb of Sydney and a popular surfing site.
Although he is now retired Rev. Grant is
busy sharing the Australian past with
readers on that dry continent and those
abroad, keeping alive some of the exciting
events and interesting people of days gone
by.
Another
project
for architect
The firm of C.A. Ventin Architects of Sim-
coe, has been appointed chief project ar-
chitect responsible for leading the design
and ' construction phases of the Lawrence
House restoration. Through a $500,000 cor-
porate contribution by Suncor Inc., the 93 -
year -old Lawrence House in Sarnia will be.'
restored as a cultural centre for young peo-
ple in the community.
"Ventin's experience in the restoration
and renovation of historically important
buildings was an important factor in the
firm's appointment to the Lawrence
House," says Walter Petryschuk, manager,
Suncor Sarnia Refinery.
Two of Ventin's first major restoration
projects are located in the firm's hometown
of Simcoe. In 1974, C.A. Ventin Architects
undertook restoration of the former Camp-
bell/Reid residence (circa 1851) to accom-
modate the Lynnwood Arts Centre, an art'
gallery and cultural centre. Shortly after•
ward, renovations and an addition to the
former Norfolk County Courthouse (circa
1863) were completed to provide new
municipal offices for the Town of Simcoe.
Since 1974, numerous other architecturally
and historically significant buildings
situated throughout southwestern Ontario
have been restored by C.A. Ventin Ar-
chitects including the Clinton Town Hall -
Library in 1982-'83 and the Benmiller Inn
River Mill in 1977.
Restoration of the Lawrence House is be-
ing managed by a restoration, committee
with representation from Suncor, the City of
Sarnia and the Sarnia Public Library and
Art Gallery. Upon completion, responsibili-
ty for management of the centre will rest
with the Sarnia Library Board.
Suncor's contribution to the Lawrence
House marks the completion of the
upgrading of the company's Sarnia refinery
in 1984 and Suncor's involvement in the Sar-
nia community for more than 30 years.
