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.

million years, created Lakes and Hudson

the speaker, and the meeting adjourned
with time to enjoy the refreshments offered

Gas barbecues are
a convenient and
economical way to
enjoy outdoor cooking, but they
must be used carefully and kept in
good condition.
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
�. Never bring propane cylinders indoors,
A small leak
can cause
a major
explosion.
7. If you suspect
your barbecue isn't working properly, have it
checked by a qualified serviceman.
Make sure you don't yourhaveto invite For the free
