Bayfield Garden Club
The next meeting of the Garden Club will
take place in the Municipal Building on
Monday October 13.
It promises to be a lively gathering and
will take the form of an auction sale.
Members and their friends are urged to con-
tribute plants for this occasion.
An added bonus this time will be the
presence of Mr. Burton Lobb, a professional
auctioneer from the firm in Clinton, so his
expertise should certainly encourage the
bidders.
Bayfield Fire Call
Bayfield Fire Department were called on
Friday, October 3, about 11:30 a.m. to the
Tank and Tummy. However, on arrival it
was found to be quite a minor affair. No one
was hurt and there was no serious damage.
Seniors' Bus Trip
On Thursday, 0c4 -ter 2, 43 members of
Bayfield's Senior Citizens Group enjoyed a
most enjoyable bus trip following a route to
offer some fine vistas of autumn colourings
and interesting places.
The first stop at Formosa offered an op-
portunity to visit the very beautiful Roman
Catholic Church, and this was followed by
hospitality provided by the local Seniors'
group who served the visitors with tea, cof-
fee and muffins.
The journey continued through Walker-
ton, Hanover and Durham, stopping again
in Marksdale where a most enjoyable lunch
was served at Steven's Restaurant.
From there the party proceeded until they
reached Paisley where the ladies of the
Knox Presbyterian Church served a com-
plete turkey supper with all the trimmings,
followed by delicious homemade pies. There
was also time to visit the private museum in
the Town Hall and to observe the ways in
which Paisley has worked to conserve and
enhance its heritage characteristics.
Another highlight of the trip, and one of

foliage, was the view of Beaver Valley. All
those who undertook the trip agreed that it
had been a most enjoyable excursion.

Trinity Anglican Church news

everyone will be at home.

course is being planned, 'Living A Life of
Prayer Under the Guidance of the Spirit'. It
is hoped that the series will take place in the
homes of individuals.
The construction work on the chancel is
now almost completed and the next stage
will be the carpeting. Members of the con-
gregation are invited to consider the colour
samples that are available, red and blue,
" and select their preference so that the final
decision will be that of the majority of the
congregation.

ups for Bayfield will be on Wednesday
Thursday, October 15 and 16. For details of
the routes to be covered on each day see
details in the advertisement.
World Food Day
"Good Things Grow.... In Ontario" Does
that sound familiar?
Of course it does, and then what about the
`beef' or 'pork on your fork'. Do these
references make your mouth water or whet
your appetite?
Then pause for a moment and read the
following and consider the implications.
Thursday, October 16 marks the annual
celebration of 'World Food Day', and the
Ministry of Agriculture and Food draws at-
tention to this international event establish-
ed by the Food and Agriculture organization
of the United Nations. Does it have a per-
sonal message?
There is no doubt that media coverage Brill
exposed the desperate plight of countrleb
whose populations are decimated by inter.
nal strife, natural disasters and famine. The
response generated by these revelations 40
elicited increased support from charitabe
organizations, the world of entertainment
and private individuals.
Nevertheless, starvation, disease and
death still take an enormous toll. People are
hungry.
Even in areas where a. higher standard Of
living and the benefits of a welfare stat
seem to offer immunity there is still a nee
for soup kitchens, grocery hand-outs and
free meals. People are hungry.
Yet by contrast one cannot ignore a socie-
ty in which excess weight is a recognized
problem. Proffered solutions, often expen-
sive to implement, offer dieting regimes as
web as exercise classes and aerobics - a
mockery when one considers the emaciated
millions exemplified in media photography.
Even that cannot really capture the despair
disease, anguish and ever present spectre df
death.
Just suppose for a moment that all the
money expended on attractively advertised
forms of obesity therapy coudl be channell-
ed towards feeding the hungry.
Suppose those people with a 'sweet tooth'
a pot belly or an overall unhealthy excess of
bodily fat could make a genuine effort of self
denial starting on October 16.
An idealistic fantasy - or is it? A little lest§
of the largesse could mean life itself to SO
many of the world's unddrjnourished people.
Just one day out of 365,E4Opyhich to address
the problem is not mnclitriyask.
Think about it. Sees'tva challenge and
maybe that special foellS.pnfood on October
16 mayi
generate sufficient action and con-
cern to save a life.
Historical Society visits four London site
• • • .• •
On Monday, September 29, 39 members of
the Bayfield Historical Society boarded the
bus in Bayfield for a trip to London where
they were joined by five other supporters.
The first stop was at the Indian Ar-
chaeological Museum where they saw a
typical long house and pallisade which had
been restored and provided examples of the
life style of the Attawondaron Indians.
These people were known to be settled in
this area according to Jesuit records as far
back as the 17th century, and unlike other
nomadic tribes appear to have settled in one
place and produced their own crops.
It ;was.interesting.tQ learn that the village
would s'hav'e been comparable in . size to
Bayfield today, sane' eight or nine long
houses accommodating the whole popula-
tion. Some further indication of the life style
was demonstratable in the display of ar-
tifacts,;in the museum.
The next stop was at "The Garage" for
lunch. This interesting restaurant offers a
fascinating display of cars.
Then suitably refreshed, the party were
driven to Eldon House. According to the
history this was one of the first houses built
in London circa 1840, and is one of the few to
survive to the present day.
Its owner, a doctor who sailed the Great
Lakes with Captain Owen, built the house
for his wife and family, and here again there
was a connection with Bayfield since it was
this same Captain Owen who was in-
strumental in directing Lt. Bayfield towards
his work as a cartographer.
The house with most of its original Vic-
torian fi}rnishirlgs,,4!emained in the family,
until recent years when it wag handed over
and has subsequently become a popular
tourist attraction.
The property stands within its own
grounds on the north branch of the Thames
river close to the point where General Sim-
coe wanted to establish the capital of Upper
Canada.
The next stage of the journey involved a
short walk passing the Ridout Street Cdrtl-
plex., It's an area where, at one time, the
buildings were threatened, although nova
some of them have been restored. The
Society's present president Gwen Pember-
ton was one of those who was involved in this
project.
The last stop was at the Middlesex County
Council Chambers, which at one time coin -
prised the Court House and the old jail. An
inspection of the accommodation offered by
the latter indicated that confinement mtlt
have been a most undesirable experience!
The building also . houses a military
museum on the top floor which was visited
by some of the"stalwart members of the
party.
Altogether this trip exploring local history
was a great success and enjoyed by all the
participants.
Middleton children serve cider and cake
Communion was celebrated in St. James'
Middleton Anglican Church Sunday morn-
ing at 9:45 a.m. with the Rev. A. Bell
officiating.
The Sunday School started with a fun day
with children having a branch of a tree
upstairs. Each child told what he did
through the summer and placed a balloon on
the tree.
Welcome to Pat Reder and her children.
Following the service the children welcom-
ed everyone downstairs for cider and cake.
