There is a suggestion that the village has anticipated a trend in reintroducing the game as evidenced by a full page recently in The Globe and • Mail, not to mention a news item that a 'Cricket Workshop' was being held in Oxford this weekend. Starting time is 1 pm in the Fair Grounds and the two teams will be competing for a trophy which has been donated by Carling. O'Keefe. The Woodstock team has strong local sup- port which will be accompanying their players, so it is hoped that the Bayfield Community will demonstrate their loyalty by turning up in full force to cheer on the Bayfield Bounders. For the uninitiated the game of cricket may seem complex so here is a simple ex- planation which may help to enable spec- tators to understand the basics! Each team has 11 players and at the August 10 match the teams will have one innings. At each end of the 22 yard pitch are the wickets, three sticks stuck in the ground with two more small ones called bails across the top. A batsman stands at each end and the bowler (pitcher). keeping a straight arm bowls six•balls from one end. The field is re- arranged and another bowler bowls six from the other end. The aim is to get the batsmen out by hitting the wicket, causing him to send up a catch, and several other more technical stratagems! Batsmen have to thwart these tactics, and score runs for their own side. Extra long hits by the batsmen score four, or even six and it is not necessary for them to rung up and down in these circumstances.' The umpires ( distinguished by their long white coats) count the balls played and make judgements according to the rules. Their decisions are final. At the end of the game the team with the most runs is the winner. Last year the spectators who attended the match wore some colorful and elegant costumes. It added class to the occasion, and organizers- hope that those flowing gowns, pretty hats and appropriate gentlemanly gear will be in evidence again! Be sure to come and watch on Saturday. Who knows, maybe Hayfield's pioneer spirit will re -introduce the game so that it becomes so popular Huron County may one day field its own team. For the spectator i't's. a great way to spend a relaxed afternoon on a summer's day watching the players exert themselves and listening to the fascinating sound of ball hitting bat. ' Flower arranging ideas Once again the monthly meeting of the Bayfield Garden Club will be held outside. This time it will take the form of a mid-day presentation on Monday, August 12 at the hpme of Harold and Lilian Beakhust on Hill Terrace, east of Highway 21. Turn off at St. s, Andrew's Church, travel down to Sarnia Street and head east to Hill Terrace. The subject will be the arrangement of flowers, and members of the club with ex- pertise in this area will be there to demonstrate, as well as assist in the workshop to encourage members, who it is hoped will demonstrate their skills in ex- hibits at the Agricultural Fair on August 23 and 24. Participants should come with containers, pinholders, a sharp knife, flowers and foliage, the latter in a bucket of water - and of course a chair and a sandwich! It is hoped that as many members as possible will come along, and of course, visitors will be welcomed.' Explore antique gardens with Michigan landscape designer Scott G. Kunst, landscape designer from Old House Gardens, Ann Arbor, Michigan, will be the guest speaker at a special event sponsored by the Huron County Branch of the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario in the Assessment Building, Goderich, (next to the Historic Goal), at 8 pm on Monday, August 12. His slide presentation Antique Gardens is particularly appropriate in an area where there is an increasing awareness of heritage buildings, and an enthusiastic gardening community. Period landscaping for restored homes over the period 1830-1930 promises to highlight the linkage between home and garden. The challenge of adapting hor- ticultural concepts to a new land, a different climate and the cultivation of formerly bush areas must have been formidable, and yet for the early settlers the creation of gardens around their new homes was symbolic of the. new roots they were putting down whilst still endeavouring to retain features of the gardens of their homelands. our trees go down. By Helen Owen No one likes to see trees felled, especially in Bayfield which is noted for its beautiful trees. Nevertheless, the time does come when these verdant giants, majestic in ap- pearance reach a stage when they offer grave risks to adjoining buildings or hydro wires.. , This was found to be the case on the north side of the Gregor apartments, and during the past week the works department has been busy felling four trees along the fence. It was not an, easy 'task as the trees were situated close together and the area in which they had to fall was restricted. Apart from the final clearing up the job is now done and as was clearly revealed from the condition of the trunks, they represented a' • serious hazard. Although they will be missed by the residents for their beautiful foliage in sum- mer, their squirrel occupants and the birds, their removal has made one great dif- ference.. Until now the ..apartments on this side of the building have been so darkened that it has been necessary to have the lights on all day. This is no longer the case, and no doubt, the gardens and balconies no longer shaded will flourish as never before. The..

Chapter 337, Part 4,,and In the matter of the lands and premises set out below, In the Province of Ontario: Notice of Intention to Designate. Take notice that the Council of The Corporation of the Villiage of Bayfleld, on the 6th day of August, 1985, decided to designate the lands and buildings, set out below as a property of historical value In Interest under the Ontario Heritage Act, 1950, R.S.O. Chapter 337, Part 4. A short statement of the reason for the proposed designation: "Orlagh" now owned by Dondld and Florence Kelllor was built in 1877 by Dr. NInlan Woods, a physician who came to Canada In the early 1840's from Ireland. The residence is of white brick and as was the custom in those days has high ceilings, two fireplaces, and a front and rear staircase. The house has been described as one of Bayfield's treasures, showing the background of a previous way of life and represents a microcosm of late 19th century adoption of a professional man in.a new country. Notice of objection to the designation may be served on the Clerk -Treasurer within thirty (30) days of the lth day of August, 1985. First notice August lth, 1985 Second notice August 14th, 1985 Third notice Augus`? 21st, 1985. Dated at Bayfield this 7th day of August, 1985 Iatrick M. Graham, Clerk -Treasurer Village of Bayfleld Bayfield, Ontario , NOM 1G0 and individuals of Bayfield, Clinton, Goderich, Vanastra; Varna and area, who so generously donated gifts for their Penny Sale. They would also like to thank all those who bought tickets, for without this support the Penny Sale would be a `No Sale'. .This event is usually held in conjunction with the Lion's Frolic but this year it stood alone as a fund raising project. Starting on July 31 the sale attracted a steady stream of. people to the Community Centre, where the Lioness sold tickets and had arranged the tempting display of prizes. A special thank you is due to these ladies who contribute so much in time effort and cheerful participa- tion in their voluntary tasks. Instead of being awarded a prize, which you may or may not want, a Penny Sale is a chance to win a prize you would really like, and posting the tickets in the containers adds to the enjoyment, especially as the prizes are so varied and attractive to all age groups and tastes. The final thrill, of course, comes the following day when the list of win- ners is posted, and .the lucky ones collect their coveted gifts. There is no doubt, that it is a ,popular occasion, and the good organization of the Lioness as well as their cheerful administration earn them a well deserved tribute..

Executive members include (front row, left to right) Treasurer Er- nie Hovey, Secretary Peg Willock, President Harold Seamon, Vice -President Clifford Freeman.

Highway safety Many serious farm accidents actually happen on the road. All farm equipment that is being moved on the highway should be marked with slow moving vehicle signs, flashing amber lights provide additional warning to approaching motorists: Remember to lock tractor brake pedals together before venturing onto 'the road. Above all, obey highway traffic rules and be urteous to other drivers. "DO IT OUR AY - IT WON'T HURT". This has been a iessage from the Farm Safety Association. Tractor fatalities Tractor accidents are the number one cause of farm machinery deaths. A tractop is relatively safe in the hands of a knowledgeable and skilled operator. Many young people are not well qualified to operate a farrn tractor. Never permit riders on any of your tractors. "DO IT OUR WAY -- IT WON'T HURT".
