The meeting of the Bayfield Historical
Society held On September 23 was entitled
"Past, Present and Future" I;th particular
reference to Main Street Heri. age.
The first speaker for the eventing ,was
Gwen Pemberton, herself a pioneer in
conservation. The Historical Society she
told her audience, had been instrumental in
the formation of a Local Architectural
Advisory Committee (LACAC). She then '
went on to tell of the many ups and downs
which had been encountered over the years,
the delays and sometimes apathy displayed
and then the resurgence of interest which
finally resulted in Bayfield becoming the
foJirth community to have a Designated
area. She expressed the hope that future
village councillors would take the
opportunity to acquaint themselves with th
aims and objectives of their local
committee; and reminded those present that
the monthly meetings held on the first
Thursday of each month were open to the
public.
She welcomed the opportunity of
addressing the Historical Society because
this meant that the public could be kept
informed and LACAC was for the
community. She also said she hoped that an
annual meeting with a well-known speaker
would help to stimulate public interest and
support.
The second speaker, whose theme was the
present, was Helen Owen, one of the two
council representatives on LACAC. She
dealt with the practical aspects of the
committee's work, its composition, its role
as a committee of the village council and the
responsibilities Which it was required to
undertake.
She dealt' with criticisms of LACI C, such
as' 'it being elitist and restrictive;• and
pointed • out that in order to function
according to its terms of referenc'e; these
criticisms were unfounded. The present day
role of .the committee was to investigate,
research and provide information. She
outlined the grant system and. the way in
which this could be 'utilized 'for . the
conservation of (designated properties,
stressing that this funding was, from the
province- and not the village - -a
misapprehension to be cleared up once and
for all.
LACAC, she said had been fqrtunate in the
support it had received in' the way of
donations, and had also initiated its own
fund raising so that this summer it had been
able to engage the services of a young
Architectural Student to study and report on
his findings.
She introduced Lee Robinson who had
carried out a very comprehensive and
detailed job. His presentation was based on
the contents of his report. The items covered
ranged from benches, litter bins,
landscaping, street lighting, fences, signs,
telephone booths and washrooms, to
mention just a selection, Not only had ham.
pointedout particular areas for
improvement and conservation but
substantiated his suggestions with names of

Cathy Fisher's phone number is 565-2535,
and she can tell you about it. They will be
playing at the Varna Community Complex
and Thursday, October 3 at 8 p.m. it is the
place to be if you wish to participate.
Then there's ' Minor Hockey. Sixteen
showed up to register last week, a good
start. Despite the Blue Jays; and soccer,
hockey is our national sport and every
youngster should have a chance to play.
Figure skating is pure joy to execute. It
teaches not only grace and skating skill, but
a sense of rhythm and so an enjoyment of
music. There were 43 participants last year,
so far only 11 have signed up. The
Recreation Committee will offer this
program at a financial loss, even if 40
register, but cannot do so unless at least that
number appears.
There's curling too, another very
Canadian sport. An organizational meeting
will take place on Tuesday, October 8, 8 p.m.
at the Municipal Building of course.
Beginners to experienced players are
wanted. Mixed curlers can enjoy the sport
every Monday night from 7 to 9 p.m. The
charge has to be $65. this• year, but well
worth it if only to wear those sporty clothes.
Brownies are reminded that registration
will take place at the Trinity Anglican
Church Parish Hall on 'Tuesday, October 7 •
from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.
The recreation' committee is not
forgetting baseball- yet. They had a good
meeting last Monday with Reeve Dave
Johnston and Council representatives in
attendance. Tenders are out for the i..
fencing and plans .formulated for the
diamond design.
One of the recreation committee's
.successful fund raising projects, is the
monthly draw. The $50. prize this month was
won by Lorraine Fisher.
Bayfield Garden Club
distributing bulbs
By Helen Owen
Bayfield Garden Club will be distributing
premium bulbs to members starting this
week. Originally the idea was to obtain
Autumn Crocus this year, but owing to th»
bad summer in Europe the suppliers were
unable to fulfil the order. The alternatives
are daffodils and tulins.
The Garden Club is one of the
organizations which continues to thrive and
the membership' increases -every year
flourishing as surely as the flower beds and
the wild flower sanctuary on Mara Street.
Meetings are held in the Municipal Building
on the second Monday of each month.

Guests return to England
By Mary Chessell
VARNA - Jim and Madeleine Murray
have had guests from England, Audrey and
Alan Remington, staying' with them
periodically this summer. They left for
home on Sunday.
Alan was a mechanic with the Royal Air
Force A.N.S. School at Port Albert for three
years, and considered the Wm. Pickett
family of Goderich Township his home away
from home...He has always been fond of
Canada, and would probably have come
here to live after the war except that he en-
joyed the. job he had as a mechanical
engineer in England. His work took him all
over Europe.
Audrey and Alan live in Kendal, Cumbria,
in the beautiful Lake District. They have
visited Canada every 10 years or oftener.
Now that they are both retired, Audrey from
Kaye' Shoes, they have been able to fulfill
their dream of a cross -Canada. trip.. They
travelled by Via Rail from Stratford, spent'
three days in Winnipeg and took a Red River.
Cruise. They Spent a whole month in
Calgary and attended 'the Stampede every
day. A. man they met took them on a tour of
Banff, Lake Louise, Yoho National Park,
etc. Their host knew the area well, so they
enjoyed it immensely. They spent four days
in the Victoria area, with a visit to Butchart
Gardens. On their way back they shopped at
the West Edmonton Mall, the largest mall in
the world, which has many theatres and
other attractions.
At Brandon they spent a couple• of days
with Bill and Betty Murray and visited
Sheila and Richard Lernowich.
While staying here they were to London
Fair; the Plowing Match, spent time with
Olive and Alex Murray and with Olive and
Madeleine's sister Donna in Listowel and
family members in Ethel and Elmira.
Alan was able to renew acquaintances
with many of his old buddies who did come
back to live in Canada and United States,
among them Ron and Doris Johnson of Far-
mington, Mich. Ron was a bunk -mate and
close friend of Alan's. They spent some time
with them in Michigan, and Ron and Doris
were here a week ago to seg' thr+rr, ar'nln
The Remington's absorb a lot of informa-
tion on their travels, and explore a lot on
foot. Alan takes numerous pictures, and has
over 100 films not yet developed, as well as
many already done. He has a friend who has
a herd of 140 Friesian cows, as well as a
large flock of sheep, so he took pictures of
farming operations in this area to show his
friend. Sixty acres is a large farm where
they live, yet most farmers are doingwell
with their dairy herd•and sheep. They have
no large implements, and they have pastur-
ing rights on the moors for their sheep,
which are a small but hardy breed, able to
withstand winter conditions in the . open.
Cereal crops are grown on large company
farms in southern England.
They were pleased to spend an hour
visiting by telephone with friends who called
them from Montreal, something they
wouldn't do in England.
Alan had pictures of their lovely home in
Kendal, and of their condominium -like
winter residence in Spain on the Mediterra-
nean Sea:. Jim and Madeleine visited this
delightful couple in England in 1981.
Ruby. Hill will tell about her visit to St.
John's, Newfoundland and surrounding
villages at Varna's• UCW meeting on
Thursday evening'. Meeting time is 8:30
p.m. Next Sunday is Worldwide Commu-
nion.
Congratulations to the Dowsons, who have
another grandson to dote on, Matthew
William Groot.
Linda Smith spent last week with Gordon
and Ruby Hill and was joined by George on
the weekend. They now live in Oshawa.
George Adams of Wroxeter received
broken shoulder and fractured skull while
'sorting cattle at Grant Webster's feedlot,
when a steer kicked him. He was rushed to
Clinton Hospital, then to University Hospital
where he is making a satisfactory recovery.
Congratulations to Nancy Webster,
Cheryl Turner and Krista Rathwell who
received honors in. their Grade 4 piano exam
and to Myra Postill who earned a passing
grade.
