Council has approved the preliminary drawings which will see the construction of new outlets for the erosion control at Cameron and Delevan Streets. The present outlets have "collapsed into the lake", Reeve Dave Johnston reported. He noted th.t it is imperative to complete this phase of the project before further drainage work can begin. With a price range estimated in the five figure bracket, Reeve Johnston said, "We've been advised that it's within our budget. This has to be done before we can do any further drainage work." The cost of the project will be subsidized from the road budget. Council gave the authorization to B.M. Ross and Associates of Goderich to prepare the final drawings and call tenders for the work. Property owner wants lower speed limits Lower Speed Limit BAYFIELD - Council is recommending to the Ministry of Transportation and Com- munication (MTC) that the speed limit towards the southerly entrance to the village be reduced to 60 km. The move to lower speed limit came in the form of a request from Highway 21 property owner John Chapman. Mr. Chapman is seeking additional highway access to his property and lowering the speed limit will assist Mr. Chapman in this endeavor. Arena Employee Hired Council has approved the hiring of Harold E. Brandon as a municipal worker. To be paid $5.50 per hour, Mr. Brandon will work vrith the village road superintendent and the arena manager. Emergency Plan Council will be watching closely, and par- ticipating in, the formation of an emergency plan for the county. Huron County is in the process of creating an emergency contingency plan and in- dividual municipalities in the county have been encouraged to develop similar plans. "I'm pleased to see the county proceeding in this manner," Reeve Dave Johnston said. He suggested that Bayfield could create an emergency planusing the county project as a guide. Reeve Johnston noted that it is important for the village to have some sort of emergen- cy guidelines. He stressed, "I was quite sur- prised to learn how many transport trucks carry toxic substances through Bayfield every day, north and south, on Highway 21. He noted that more than once, such trucks have been involved in collisions and "landed on Clan Gregor Square." Replica of Sarah Ferguson's dress highlights fashion show By Helen Owen There was no doubt that the fashion show sponsored by the Bayfield Lioness was a success. Well over 200 people were at the arena on July 23. After enjoying coffee and a selection of desserts, the audience settled down to watch the show with Judy Huntley as mistress of ceremonies. One after another the models moved bet- ween the tables displaying a variety of fashion - all provided by local stores. There was something for everyone and for every season. Delightful color combinations as well as imaginative use of fabrics were demonstrated for sports, casual and formal 1 BAYFIELD RATEPAYERS ASSOCIATION Annual General Meeting Saturday, Aug. 2 '86 at 9:30 A.M. in the Bayfield Community Centre wear. Soft woolens, hand knits, crisp cot- tons, leather and fur were utilized effective- ly in the design of single garments and separates. The good lines of designer styles from Toronto and Ottawa were exemplified in the cut and finish and complementary ac- cessories completed the overall effect, which was further enhanced by the style and charm of the models taking part. Wednesday was also the wedding day of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, and Mary's Sewing Centre of Clinton brought the show to an impressive conclusion with .a model wearing a copy of the bride's wedding gown which had; been made up during the day, the train of which was carriedby six lit- tle people! It was certainly an appropriate fitting finale. In between the showings some dozen of the spectators won prizes on the draw. The support of local merchants was much appreciated by the Lioness, and those who contributed were the Sun Room, the Red Pump, Bayfield Country Store, Joshua II, West Winds, Dreams Come True, the War- drobe, My Fair Lady and the Croft.

Budgie on the loose By Helen Owen BAYFIELD - Painting the deck outside their home last week, Mr. and Mrs. Alex McAlister were somewhat surprised to notice what appeared to be an exotic bird flying around. The bird noticed them, land- ed on the deck obviously hoping to find sustenance. This was promptly provided but the little budgerigar, eager to partake of their hospitality, inadvertently managed to get its tail in the paint pot - unless of course, it was planning some kind of camouflage before continuing on its travels! This incident resulted in the McAlisters capturing the bird and cleaning it up. Interrogation elicited no response and finally an improvised cage was devised and the happy wanderer deposited outside the post office in the hope that its owner would see it and reclaim the runaway. The chances of surviving in the wild for budgerigars are very poor, so it is hoped that by now this little bird is home once again. by four runs Dan -Middleton received the offering. Little Derek Taylor is visiting with Gram - ma and Grampa Middleton. Just a reminder, there will be a shopping bus trip to Hamilton on September 16 spon- sored by the ACW of St. James Middleton Church. For seats please call Audrey at 482-9838 or Blanche at 482-9536.

While the players refreshed themselves the Malt Mill Dancers enlivened the scene for the spectators with some of their tradi- tional dances. Then the game resumed with Channel 10 now batting. Their team includ- edyoung ladies, which added to the interest. To start With, things moved fairly slowly with some fine catches which vanquished one batsman after another. Then towards the end of the game Channel 10 showed their mettle. The score advanced rapidly and it began to seem that a draw, or even defeat, might be in the offing. But; in the end Bayfield secured the victory by a margin of four runs. Another welcome visitor at the game was Roy Huddy from Woodstock, a keen cricketer who has turned -up to support Hayfield's cricket for the past three years and,on this occasion, he acted as umpire. Harold Beakhust kept the score and the Rev. George Youmatoff provided the com- mentary. After the game, the teams spent a pleasant social hour in the community cen- tre and Bruce Johnston, Hayfield's captain accepted the trophy. This event was a combined Bayfield - Stanley Township project and the players and ladies from the township certainly con- tributed to the success of the occasion. For Bayfield there was wonderful support from the ladies who served the lunch, those who donated the home baked pies and the gentlemen who helped in other ways to keep things running smoothly. No account of the game would be coni plete without reference to the spectators, many of whom appeared in colorful and elegant dress suitable for such an occasion. Avoid accidents The average cost of a farm accident is in- creasing. It is generally agreed upon by most safety experts that the uninsured costs of an accident are usually ten times the in- sured costs: Accidents can cause financial hardships' for farmers. You can'redty& the risk of an accident on your farm by setting up a comprehensive safety program. A safe- ty program will not only reduce the number of accidents but will eliminate the costs that go hand in hand with farm accidents. "DO IT OUR WAY - IT WON'T HURT" This has been a message from the Farm Safety Association. HEY! BAYFIELD We Deliver to YOU WITH SAME DAY SERVICE!
