this occasion and Hugh Pearson from the
Botanical Gardens in Hamilton will address
the members on home hybridization.
Health Clinic
Just a reminder for the regular attenders
that the health clinic will be on March 10 for
their bi-monthly visit. Attendance has
multiplied since the clinic started and there
is no doubt that the services are much
appreciated.
Recreation Committee News
When the recreation committee met on
February 23 the lucky winner of the monthly
draw was Bob McGraw.
Response to the setting up of a quilting
group was encouraging and to date 12
registrations have been received. It was
also reported that the recreation hockey
league had made a donation of $150 for
figure skating.
The date fixed for the official opening of
the ball diamond is July 4. Any further con-
tributions towards the ,flights will be
appreciated.
4-H Club Happenings
The third meeting of the Bayfield 4-H Club
was held on February 23 at 7:30 p.m. This
meeting was about decision making based
on the different standards, goals, values and
resources which each individual has. One
exercise asked each member what they
would do with $700.
The members were also asked "'what
values and resources affect their choice of
friends. Since no two people have the same
values or resources these answers varied
greatly.
Cindy Scott, who reports the 4-H news,
says that the group now has 10 members,
and consequently such subjects as the one
discussed at this meeting are very
stimulating and thought provoking.
Off To Tokyo
During the past week V -era Gregg of Clan
Q
Gregor Apartments has had to say farewell,
at least for the time being, to her son.
Michael Gregg, an artist noted for his work
on Miller and OV beer, has been named
senior art director of McCann-Erickson's
Tokyo office and is en route for Tokyo via
Australia. Once arrived he will be Working
on Nestle and Northwest Orient Airlines.
This is certainly a wonderful opportunity for
Michael since his employers are recognized
as the second best international advertising
agency.
He will be familiar to many Bayfield
residents when he came to the village in 1974
with his parents George and Vera. It was at
that time that he constructed a store in
Brucefield and brought it to Main Street
where it is now the premises of Focus. The
particularly attractive window came from
Vanastra. For the subsequent two years he
ran the store as an Art Gallery.
Born in England, Michael graduated from
Goderich High School after the family came
to Canada, and then studied journalism at
Conestoga following this up with a two year
arts course in Toronto. His success in the
field of advertising has now brought him
this opportunity to work in the Far East
where he will be pursuing his career for the
next three years.
Reeve Stirling speaks to historical society
By Helen Owen
HAYFIELD - The February ineeting of
the Hayfield Historical Society took place at
the Bayfield Village Inn on February 23.
Fortified with lunch the members settled
down to learn something of the history of a
pioneer family, when Grant Stirling, Reeve
of Goderich Township was the speaker.
He began by stating that research in-
dicated that the name Stirling had been
traced back to 1136 and recurred again and
again throughout Scottish history. It was not
only the name of a shire, but also a castle,
the home at one time of Scottish Kings.
although Reeve Stirling said that he had not
established any connection with the royal
line - not surprising since some 67 different
spellings were in existence. However, en-
tries relative to his family were discovered
in the parish .records in Forfarshire, and
dated back to 1791.
The first members came to Canada rima
1833 and this 'uncle William' settled east of
Porter's Hill. Travelling in wagons with
their respective families other members
came to Goderich. The hardships which
they endured and overcame were attribute
to their tenancity of purpose.
Among these early settlers was Alex Stirl-
ing, Grant's great grandfather who cleared
25 acres and was noted as having one cow,
six sheep, seven hogs and two horses. Of his
family of five children 'black Bill' married
twice and produced a family of 10, the

youngest of which became Grant's father.
He was an innovative man and introduced
electricity to his farm in 1916. The following
year he bought his first tractor, and six
years later the family home became one of
the very few to boast a bathroom.
Two other interests were fruit production
and horses, and he was noted for his entries
of plums and apples in fairs all around the
area, as well as at the Royal Winter Fair.
However, his interest was not confined to
farming exclusively as demonstrated by the
fact that -for 40 years he was a trustee of the
school in Goderich Township, 18 years as

A LETTER
FROM DORIS
Say a prayer
on March 6
By Doris Hunter
BAYFIELD - Friday, March 6 is the day
when people all over the world will be say-
ing prayers, to make our planet a better
place in which to live. Each of our local
churches will be presented at Trinity
Anglican and it is certainly not a ladies only
occasion.
One always wonders what happens to the
collection at any of these general functions.
The committee in charge for the various
districts gathers ata luncheon to vote on the
allocation of funds, and it is cheering to
note, that none of the money goes towards
this. Each delegate pays her own way!
Back to church on Saturday. This time to
watch free TV shows! They say you'll never
be the same after this experience. Things
one might not realize we are watching are
graphically presented and their effect on
children and adults explained.
No Decay Here
The old hymn, is dismal says "Change
and decay in all around we see" but in
Bayfield there's change all right, but decay,
no.
The conversion of Turnbull's Marine into
an up-to-date grocery complex should be
open for business May 1.
Jay and Cathie Fisher, with Jack
Pounder, have elected to become a member
.of the Foodland Chain of Grocery Stores.
They will have a full line of groceries, re-
taining the reputation Foodland has for ex-
cellent quality meats and fresh vegetables
and fruits. There will be a coffee shop, serv-
ing doughnuts and muffins. baked daily in
the store. Their suppliers are Lumsden
Brothers of Burlington, a very old and
respected firm.
Jay is sure that their prices can be on a
competitive scale with other chains.
Foodland Outlets are all owner operated.
They also are sure that parking for 30 cars
will not present a problem.
Honeymooners Return
Mr. and Mrs. James Armstrong returned
to their home farm on Monday. Their honey-
moon in Venezuela insured a start on a light
of marital bliss.
Margaret and George Chapman who cer-
tainly love to travel, tossed a coin to see
whether Mexico or Cuba would be their
destination this time. George won the toss so
they spent 10 days in Cuba. His comments
are rather cryptic. No need to go to Russia if
you've been to Cuba!
Erma and Rae Fraser are home, but Er-
ma is not feeling well at all. Surely our good
Canadian doctors will be able to help.
Speech Experience
Jody Fisher, aged 10 years, distinguished
herself, at the public speaking contest held
at the Clinton Legion Hall recently.
Although this was her first experience as a
public speaker, she came first with her
topic, "A girl playing hockey". There were
six schools represented, .Jody for Huron
Centennial School_ Congratulations.
Our friend Paul Gosse has received an
honor. He has been chosen to' represent
Eastern Ontario, at the 60th anniversary of
the Liquor Control Board of Ontario.
Anyone out there remember prohibition''
An innocent in those days, 1 thought when
people said they'd gone down to the river, it
was to buy fish or rent a canoe!
Kathleen Siertsema will be hostess for
Unit 2 of the UCW when they meet on March
11 at 8 p.m.
The Bible Study group will gather at the
home of Joe and Marg Mayman at 8 p.m.
this Thursday.
Ash Wednesday comes on March 4 and
Anglicans good or had should be in church
for the service at 10 a.m.
Lent used to mean 40 clays of giving up
something. Today it means doing something
extra.
If you need an excuse to give up smoking,
sweets or whatever, okay, but how about
getting on the bandwagon with the church of
your choice or one or more of the organiza-
tions in town, who do so much for the
village.
