Welcome to Bayfield all five of you and may you soon feel right at home in the town. Good neighbours are really not news in Bayfield. It would be difficult to find a fami- ly which did not , care about their fellow citizens. One neighbourly act should , be recorded, however. The little oasis of grass at the juncture of Emma, Anne and Victoria Place is one of the very few such spots left in the village. It has been kept cut each year by one or other of the neighbours. Presently John Campbell after mowing both his mother's lawn and his own property, just rides over and mows the triangle too, a note of thanks from us all. A comparison is the over run patch of grass at signal point, once a beauty spot, now spoiled by thoughtless motorists.
