Historians Hear About Earth's Evolution The meeting of the Bayfield Historical Society last week was more than well at- tended in appreciation of the speaker Jack Pounder and his most interesting topic, The Earth We Live On." President Gwen Pemberton, opened the meeting with a warm welcome to all and particularly to past president Vivian Morton whose husband was an historian of con- siderable note. Once again Hasti-Notes of Bayfield's Historic Buildings will be available in the stores, Ed Oddleifson reported. The Reverend Douglas Pitts introduced the speaker, no stranger to his audience, but interesting to hear of his early years. A native of Stratford, Jack spent his boyhood summers at the family cottage in Bayfield, meeting his future wife Beverly Yorke while they were still in their teens, with marriage in 1951. On graduating from McGill Univer- sity the Pounders have lived in the west and in London where Jack was employed by Im- perial Oil, before building their lovely home in Bayfield in 1971. Geologists attempt to explain their • knowledge of the evolution of our world of today in ayman's&angUage as Jack said our human history is but the blink of an eye in time from the viewpoint of where the land as we know it evolved. He traced the story of our soil content over four to five billion years with utmost ease, his audience hang- ing on his words. low, Freda Moore; white card- low, Ila United Church, Kippen, Mrs. Robert(Babe) Ordination Service in Harriston on Wednes- O'Rourke.

Every summer, backyard chefs are injured and property is dam- aged in gas barbecue fires. Here are a few safety tips to ensure your barbecue parties don't go up in smoke. 1. There's only one way to connect a propane cylinder to a barbecue -- the right way. Follow the manufacturer's instruc- tions closely and keep the fuel hose away from any metal parts which may become hot. 2. Check for leaks regularly: Brush a soap and water solution over hoses and connectors and open the cylinder valve. If there's a leak, bubbles will form in the soap film. 3. Keep your barbecue at least 10 feet from buildings, overhangs and combustible structures. 4. Don't try to light a barbecue with theJid -closed. If it fails to light or goes out, turn the gas off and wait five minutes before relighting. { 5. When finished, close all valves. a �.
