Well filled churches at all the beautiful services offered were a joy to at- tend and the greeting "welcome back", was the password for the day. Many of those who endured most of the winter have taken off on March holidays. Lulu and Charles Scotchmer were on an ex- tensive bus tour of Florida, Percy and Kay Renner made a flying visit to the Dominican Republic and were impressed with the pro- fusion of flowers. Betty and Frank Burch visited their daughter Janet McLean and her family in Calgary, having spent all day at Lester Pearson Airport due to delayed flights, arriving at last to find their son-in- law Howard in hospital instead of getting ready for a trip with his wife. Diane and Steve Argyle have a nice tan after their holiday in Florida. There's no question that Audrey and Gord Graham had a truly remarkable trip when they went to see their granddaughter, Janice Huntley, in Edmonton. They arrived home at 3 a.m. having made the flight back to Toronto via Halifax. Certainly not a planned visit.

CHSS Music Club The choir of Central Huron Secondary School, under the direction of Rob Parr the music. instructor, are planning a bus trip to Bayfield Dairy Club Monsignor Bourdeau d1s,� By Doris Hunter BAYFIELD - Just about everyone in Bayfield knew and loved Monsignor Bourdeau. Each of us felt a personal loss as we heard of his death on Maundy Thursday. It is not of his tine ministry in the Roman Catholib Church, which earned him the title of Monsignor, a very real honour, for which we are 41ad, but the privilege of having known this gentle man, who cared about all of us regardless of creed. . His joy was in his beautiful estate which he cared for himself until last fall, commun- ing with his friends the chipmunks and not forgetting his little shrine to Our Lady. A signed photograph of the Pope hung in his ship-shape home where everything was arranged for efficient living. Bayfield has had many dear people living here over the years, none ,dearer than Mon- signor Bordeau. How fitting that he should die at Easter time, the great festival of Christianity! "Of such is the Kingdom of Heaven." During the Easter Service at St. Andrew's United Church, Ted Dunn offered a solo dedicated to the Monsignori which greatly moved the. congregation. The Garden Club has been asked to plant a memorial tree'•in his memory. They will not forget his generosity in allowing the Garden Walk to visit his grounds, when he had already become quite frail. Monthly Winner Clara Wilson who was cheated of her plan- ned trip to Mexico, due to an accident, has had a bit of luck for a change, when she won the Recreation Committee's monthy draw of $50.

She also had the pleasure of introducing Claus Breede the speaker of the evening. Mr. Breede is no stranger to Bayfield au- diences, yet each time he speaks, his en- thusiastic report on the plans and progress of the renovations and improvements of the Huron County Pioneer Museum creat more excitement about the project white)) fir is directing for Huron County. ' ° ' It is a pleasure to note the .respect and credit Mr. Breede extends to Heerbert Neal, the compulsive collector who founded the, museum and gathered together Such en amazing variety of artifacts single handed, ' Too often such people are forgotten in the name of progress, but the speaker said that the remarkably accurate working models of various implements are now of real value since the originals have become obsolete. It is good too to learn that the old school itself which is a precious legacy is to have its original exterior preserved and its usefulness enhanced by new additions made with regard for the building's architectural importance. He gave full credit to. Bayfield Reeve Dave Johnston, a convert to the concept and now as enthused as the rest of us. Chris Borgal, well know for his restora- tion of historic buildings, was awarded the contract for the ••necessary work after the committee in charge had interviewed seven experienced firms. It is gratifying to be able to use a Huron County architect for the project. Mr. Breede is an excellent speaker in love with his topic, be sure to hear him: if you have the opportunity, his subject does not grow stale from repetition. The archivist Dorothy Cox thanked the speaker on behalf of the listeners 'after which Dodie Chubb provided tea and cookies while time could be spent in conver-, sation with the speaker.
