DISCOVER THE BALL & MUTCH DIFFERENCE BALL & MUTCH FINE FURNITURE' 71 ALBERT ST., CANTON TELEPHONE: 482.9703 developed by Harvey Godbolt and his wife Jesse of Bayfield, was officially signed and turned•over to the village on October 7. The subdivision, located in the' south end of the village, contains 36 lots with 14 houses having been built since Mr. Godbolt acquired the land in 1976. Under the agreement, the village will take over the maintenance of the subdivision which is to include street lighting, water works, paving and plowing of the roads and drainage. "It's been a long road for Harvey and Jesse and it hasn't been a easy road," said Reeve Dave Johnston in a brief speech after signing the documents. " ... They worked well with the village and the village is pleased to take it over. The"subdivision was well laid out, well planned and well built." According to Mr. Godbolt there were many stumbling blocks associated with building the subdivision up to acceptable standards. The construction requirements of the buildings and streets were subject to 25 different criterias from the village: It also meant dealing with 33 'departments of government. Mr? Godbolt says when he and his wife bought the property in 1976, it contained many trees and the water table was at the top of the ground. Through careful planning and drainage practises, the water table has been lowered by six feet. "It's now one of the dryest areas in town." he says. 10 years for Lioness By Doris Hunter The Bayfield Lioness Club is back in full swing, with their new President Janet Smith presiding at the autumn meeting.

Many stores, whose owners maintain residences in the village will remain open until the Christmas holiday is over.

Couple works with Blind Mission MIDDL.ETON - Workers with the 'Chris- tian Blind Mission International, Don and Barbara Smith of Burlington were the guest speakers at the October 10 meeting of the St. James Anglican Church Women (ACW). The Smiths are involved in 98 countries of the developing world where they work with the poorest of poor people. Eighty percent of the people are blind and the Smiths' work focuses on striving for prevention of blind- ness. They noted that 50 cents will provide enough Vitamin A to keep a child from going blind. The Smiths voiced their appreciation to groups in Canada who collect old eye glasses to send to people in needy countries. The glasses are 'checked by eye doctors and are used by people requiring them. Don, who is blind himself, believes that the love of Christ called he and his wife to do this work. He asked the ACW members to pray for the concern of the people in the Third World. In other business the ACW agreed to hold their regular meeting in December' and to have the Pot Luck Penny Savers Meal on January 9, 1986 at Audrey Middleton's home.

Keep notice board neat By Helen Owen A couple of years ago the Bayfield Garden Club became concerned about the damage being done to the trees outside the Post Of- fice because of the indiscriminate posting of notices. Last year, as their Bicentennial project, LACAC provided a notice board for the village. • At a recent meeting of the Garden Club Executiveconsiderable concern was ex- pressed with re:`- rd to the use of the board. Initially its purpose was to hold notices of community events, but gradually it has become something more than that. In fact it is an untidy mess, cluttered with out -dated announcements, many nothing to do with the village at all, and it seems to be used as free advertising space by all and sundry. Two outlets for advertising are available on Main Street = "The Town Crier" at Pat Graham's, and the board at "The Village Market". Main Street is a heritage area but its, charm is marred by the indiscriminate use of the notice board. If it is to be properly maintained and serve its intended role then • users should ensure that out of date. material is promptly removed, and that the material displayed is relevant to the village. Baptism at • Trinity Church The infant son, of Jay and Cathie Fisher, Matthew Scott, was baptized at Trinity Anglican Church on October 13 with Rev. Aubrey Bell officiating.

They don't wish to be different from everyone else. Those who do belong show a commit- ment way beyond what is normal here. A new church costing about $60,000 (it in- • eludes a residence) was built at Okoppe in 1983 after meeting in a kindergarten for 30 years. Only 10 people belong to that church, yet they borrowed $25,000 and will have it paid for by the end of this year. They did receive help from 95 urban churches in. Tokyo, and have one member who is a rather wealthy doctor. The church in Nayoro is 75 years old. One quarter of the people who attend are mental-. ly ill: Many of these live or work at the Dohoku halfway house and workshop, as there is no government welfare once they leave hospital. The workshop was built by church work' camps in the summer of 1984 with financial assistance from local govern- ments and Japanese Christians. Activities range from snow shovelling in winter to vegetable growing on rented land, carpen try and bottling and marketing honey. There is also a centre to care for children after school until their parents finish work. Some 250 people 6 to 60 study English at the Dohoku Centre. A Three' Love School for farmers love for God, human beings and the soil is held there, too. Dr. Makoto Hiura was its founder. Great interest was shown in the Japanese people and their lifestyle, with many ques- tions asked of Rob. Margaret Elliott introduced Rob and he centres have become ghost towns.
