Bayfield Garden Club walk rained out. By Doris Hunter The Garden Club was forced to bow to the inevitable, on Saturday when the deluge came on the Garden Walk. The organizers great regret was for the labors•of those who had opened their grounds to the visitors and for the ladies of our fine churches who had placed really magnificent bouquets. in Trinity Anglican. It is well that this was not a competition as a •choice among them would have confounded any judge. A real gratification to the club was the fact that so many had planned to come and were genuinely disappointed. Many did 'call at the church and among them' were Mrs. Edighoffer of Mitchell, whose three daughters Maxine, Mary and Loy had brought her for the walk as part of her 88th birthday celebration. Mrs. Edighoffer recalled her husband's purchase of the building now known as the Country Store. They planned to open a branch of their Mitchell Store to give summer employment and business experience to their son and daughters. The building which looks so nice today, was in very poor shape, even the foundation had to be lifted. But the Woollen Shop was very popular, and they .expanded and built a miniature golf course on the , grounds adjoining where the Red Pump'Gift Store . was until yesterday. Mrs. Edigoffer is proud of all her family. Two of which are quite famous now. Hugh who managed the store so ably as a very young' man is now the recently appointed Speaker of the House at the Legislature in Queen's Park, Toronto. While Maxine's daughter Evelyn Hart is an internationally famous ballerina. It was pleasant for them to take shelter and tea at the invitation of Elva Metcalf at her home on Clan Gregor Square. Rain topics make me think of the washed out Bayfield Flea Market a week ago. I inquired of Dorothy and Russel Oesch who farm on the Goshen and bring fresh produce and delicious baking each week, what happened to the baking. They were very cheerful, their family of six children had no ' trouble in. eating their Morn's 12 pies and all the strawberries were hulled and stashed in the freezer against the winter. Supper is Canada Day custom By Doris Hunter Well what's to do on Canada Day weekend? It has been the custom for more years than we can remember for the United Church to put on a splendid supper on the lawn or in the church hall if the rains came. The tables groaned, the old saying was and children who were admitted at half price ate more than the grown ups, the pies were so good. Things can become too big and church facilities could no longer accommodate the crowd, so the supper became a Beef Barbecue and is held in' the Bayfield Arena each year on the Canada Day Saturday. It is a truly remarkable achievement by the congregation. Terrific oreganization, cheerful co-operation, excellent .barbecued beef and still the pies the ladies are famous for. Starts at 4:30 :p.m. giving everyone plenty of time to dine in comfort and good company and then to proceed to the Lakeshore, to watch the boats and the sunset at Pioneer Park: Better take your deck chairs, the Optimist Club has arranged a splendidfireworks display to be set off from the pier by the Bayfield Fire Fighters, when it's dark. Sunday morning rise and shine, all churches will be open for you to offer thanks, and there is no need to have breakfast, because the Lions and Lioness members will be serving Pancakes and Bayfield Maple Syrup with all the trimmings, really brunch with your neighbors and good• friends doing the cooking. The arena is the place to go as usual. How did we manage great events before it was built! All these affairs were planned for Saturday and Sunday so that weekenders would not have to miss out in having to go home. Still Monday is part of the holiday certainly and a nice thing to do would be to drop in at Addy McPhee's Open House at the Pottery on Highway 21. Addy has sent out invitations for you to call from noon to 5 p.m. She islur own professional potter and a wedding' gift received by a bride and groom of this weekend is surely one of the most attractive examples of art I have seen. Oh Canada, this fair and lovely land, let us fly our flags and learn the words of our national anthem, change them as they will. Bluewater holds first Ladies Invitational On June 12th the lady members of Bluewater Golf Club held their first Invitational. Fifty golfers from Kincardine, Seaforth, Mitchell, Goderich • Sunset and Maitland, London Thames Valley and Echo Valley, Walkerton and Bluewater, teed off.

Each year their coffee fund builds up and so again this year they made a donation to the Auxiliary to the Clinton Public Hospital.
