They came from Downpatrick, Ireland which is where St. Patrick is reputed to be buried. Vera's home was in the village of Killough, which is rust on the outskirts of Downpatrick. The Irish visitors feft right at home in Bayfield, feeling it was so like an Irish village. Cousins trom Scotland are staying with Helen and Harold Hopper. Our apologies for this atrocious weather! The only consolation we can offer, is that Bayfield has a reputa- tion for presenting the most abominable weather to its more distinguished guests. It seems to be saying like us at our worst and then we'll show you how beautiful we can be. The first color is showing in our, maple trees and the way to preserve some leaves for autumn parties is to wax them, which enhances their differing shades. The easiest method is to arrange the leaves on a sheet of waxpaper, cover them with another, then iron with a good hot, temperature, turning them over and ironing the underside. They peel right off the paper if you exercise a lit- tle care. Good to see Dr. Jim Garrett back in ac- tion. Jim has had a long siege in hospital in London. The thought of our busy Carol Penhale be- ing .confined to a hospital bed is hard to believe. She's sure•to be fretting herself into more trouble, about all the things she wants to do. It's the Clinton hospital for Carol. Meanwhile Tom's mother Lilian Penhale is in Goderich hospital: Tom is busy travell- ing the roads, with two sick ones to visit. it is arthritis month, and canvassers will be knocking at your door, looking for the. donations, • so generously given by Bayfielders over the years. Dawna Westlake is once more covering the drive and would be pleased to have some more volunteer canvassers. Brownies need leaders The' Brownies, all of them, are looking for volunteer leaders. Think how impressive it would be to be ,known as Brown Owl! Registration .can not take place until there are one or two volunteers. They meet once a week in Trinity Church hall and Pat Reder is the girl to call if you can help. Maurice Scott was the winner of the cassette stereo Walkman raffled recently by the Co-op Pres -school group. The organizers are grateful to those who bought or sold tickets and helium balloons. The, proceeds will be used. to purchase creative supplies and toys for the school room. A Spending Spree, easy here , The winner of the LACAC $1000. weekend draw was 'announced last week - Mr. and . Mrs. Omer Melaehe from Windsor. If you wonder how you could spent $1,000 in one weekend, here are the shops where you could easily blow it while staying at the Little Inn. Dinner at the Red Pump, which is in this year's edition of "Where to Eat in Canada", gifts from the Village Guild, the Croft, Gammages, Memory Lane, the Bayfield Art Gallery and the Bayfield Coun- try Store as well as the Gold Shoppe.

Have aeritage photo made at Focus, buy a glamorous sweater from Frances, new clothes from the War- drobe, Looking Good, or the Dresser. Let the man of the house go shopping at the Bayfield Lumber Company, while the little lady has a hair do at the Beauty Den. What fun! You wouldn't have a cent left, but time for a meal at the Albion is needed. These are the firms\which support the concept of our Heritage District in a prac- tical way and the LACAC is most grateful to them. • Riordon on display The Bayfield House Art Gallery has had a most interesting series of paintings chang- ing each fortnight to the work of yet another talented artist. The variety has been most appealing and none more so than the pre- sent exhibition which will wind up the sum- mer. Landscapes of Huron, a showing of watercolours by Ric Riordon is of particular interest to. us, as many of these beautifully executed watercolors are of local scenes and a number of them have the red sold sticker attached. It was Ric who drew the Panorama of Bayfield's Main Street last summer as a Bi- • centennial memorabilia. He its no stranger to us having married Shirley McFadden, one of Mac and Marian's three pretty daughters. They are now living in ' Toronto, • where he is working as a freelance illustrator.

Chapter 337, Part 4, and in the matter of the Ianr's 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 Vflhiage of Bayfield, 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, 1980, R.S.O. Chapter 337, 'Part 4. A short statement of the reason for the proposed designation: "Orlagh" now owned by Donald and Florence Keillor was built in 1877 by Dr. Ninian 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 adaption 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 28th day of August, 1 985. Dated at Bayfield this 28th day of August, 1985 Patrick M.

The residents of Clan Gregor Square are disgusted at having their Canadian Flag stolen for the second time this year. Stealing flags is not anew pastime for mindless peo- ple. The merchants on Main Street have en- dured this game over the years. Perhaps respect for the flag should be reinstilled in our young people's minds. e QP� si p.53•*** ` � p aVP�COV 10 SP' Ow VaSOp4 tOF t" 11� b _..c�iVAS rft,' �, pt `..4 . .
