younger take his place.
During that time, Mr. Koene has been on
call 24 hours a day, and his unfailing service

A letter from Doris
By Doris Hunter
BAYFIELD - "Happiness is living in
Bayfield" the motto Joyce.and Budd Burt
have, says, well where in lies that Bayfield
Happiness? It is many things for me right
now, it is being able to write for the paper
again, because so many of you have taken
the trouble to write to me and to the
newspapers, to say nice things when I meet
you, and to have your phone calls, about
events you're sure we'd all want to know. It
has been heartening.
There is a whimsical little notice board
beside Dr. Shepherd's office. It was once our
post office with Ernie Hovey as postmaster,
fresh from his war time service. Florrie Od-
dleifson made the sign with a jolly Town
Crier ringing his bell, adorning it.
The post office was, and is the source of
news in the village. The postmaster became
a sort of father figure for us all. He cared, he
knew where people lived in a town without
street signs and you phoned him at his store
to relay messages to families here, without
telephones. Times change, and an attractive
new post office is now an addition to Main
Street. Postmaster Ken cares about us too
and it is a forum each morning, good news
and bad.
This morning for exa le, we heard that
the tumor Jessie Godbolt s been suffering

restgns
The sound of the alarm on .January 20 was
to the home of Kelso Fitzsimons. Coals and
ashes had been set outside on a wooden step
but nothing serious developed and the situa-
tion was soon in hand.
Perhaps it is appropriate to remind those
clearing out ashes that they should be set
right away outside and not on a deck or any
wooden structure.

Victoria Hospital London.
Are we going to surrender this centre of
small town life to bureaucracy? Already our.
Town Hall is silent. What next?
William the conqueror brought the Town
Crier to England, are we to revert to this?
Have you heard one in action? They have a
Crier in Chester, England, very pictures-
que, a crowd gathers, but few reaty listen to
what he has to say. Everyone knows it is the
word of mouth message that people hear.

Write irate letters to our member Murray
Cardiff, he's a good fellow, and cares about

Do it today folks, couldn't be more impor-
tant to our way of life in Bayfield.
Lots of speculation in town, as to who has
bought the Albion. We trust the story that
the Hilton chain had acquired it is
apochroful. The Albion has, had a colorful
past. The plagrl placed upon it by the
Bayfield Historical Society gives as much
information as possible with limited space,
but a few more memoirs such as Harry
Baker's would have a fine tale to tell.
Good to see plenty of activity around Jean
Campbell's home, as the family got things
ready for her return from hospital and a
period of recuperation with her daughter
Carol.
Bev Pounder is greatly relieved that the
operation her mother Greta Scotchmer had
last week, seems to have been successful, as
circulation is coming back into her foot.
Clara Wilson sounds quite chipper. after
her operation and the shock of coming home
to the news of her mother's death. She is
most appreciative of all the kindness ex-
tended to her, just a little too tired yet to
write all the thank you letters she wants to.
Reeve Dave Johnston is fine now. He slip-
ped on the floor at the store and so the am-
bulance was called.
Abby Champ, bride elect of James Arm-
strong, was honored Tuesday evening at a
bridal shower, held in the Church parlour of
St. Andrew's United Clfurch. Hostesses
were Debbie Penhale and Brenda
Armstrong.
The room was beautifully decorated in
red, pink and white and the guests were
amused by the reading given by Carol Pen -
hale, entitled "Levinsky Goes to the Wed-
ding". Wendy Johnston read the address to
the bride, who was assisted in opening the
gifts by her sister Mary Lea Champ, Debbie
ahgd Brenda and Abby replied with many
thanks for the lovely and varied gifts she
received. A delicious buffet lunch was
served.
Sunday afternoon the bride and groom
were entertained at the home of Doris
Hunter at a "Soup and Sherry'# party.
Guests enjoyed the music beautifully played
on the Pan Pipes, a most intriguing
instrument.
The Bayfield Lioness group consists of
community minded individuals who are to
be commended for their many ac-
complishments and for the countless hours
they devote to this community. We know
about many of their deeds but there is one
we were not aware of. Therefore, you can
imagine the surprise and pleasure of Bill
and, Marg Makins of Times and Places, as
they were the recipients of an award for the
"Best Christmas Decorated Business" in
the village.
They want to say a public thank you to the
Lioness not just for this award but for the
many things they do for this great village of
Bayfield.
P.S. We surely would be interested in
knowing who the culprits are who have such
a propensity and/or obsession with stealing
Christmas light bulbs. The Makins_ had to
replace over 60 of them. About 15 every
weekend, They nearly gave up but are hap-
py now that they didn't.
