hall? Does the newly formed BIA realize
that what is bringing so many visitors to our
doors, is the preservation of our Canadian
Village atmosphere and the feeling in the air
that our village is alive and progressive,
with a, good sense of preservation for what.
we hae inherited. Let us not remember
what might -have -been as being no -more.
Ratepayers take note.
Speaking of what might -have -been and
fortunately is not. The much loved plot of
land, owned by the Pioneer Park Associa-
tion came mighty close to becoming an
Honky-Tonk amusement park, sleaze per-
sonifed. Mrs. Ida Menary, knowing of this,
as it was her brother's estate being settled,
told Lucy Woods of this and Lucy had the
courage to acquire the land for a Park, a
triumph of imagination.
Surely we have citizens with foresight
still. Meanwhile the Sunsets can yet be seen
from this vantage point.
The steering committee of the 40th Annual
Rummage Sale for Pioneer Park met with
the convenor Ruth Brown.
The big event will be July 10 at the
Bayfield Arena. The highlight of the even-
ing will be the draw for 10 or 12 prizes from
outstanding local artists and crafts people.
Tickets are now available from any director
of Pioneer Park.
An innovation this year will be the in-
troduction of a 40-60 consignment table. The
park will keep 40 per cent of the sale price
and the owners 60 per cent.1'
Remember to save your good clean rum-
mage when doing your• spring cleaning.

Bayfield will be treated to one of the
customs of May Day Fetes, as the Morris
Dancers from London will here to dance for

Herb and Katharine Beatty are no sooner
back in town, when off they go again to join
in the celebration of Herb's mother's 90th
birthday; A family dinner party is planned,
even a son from Calgary will be there, a
joyous occasion surely.
Betty and Frank Burch had a family
celebration too, when their grandson, Frank
the third, was married in Bradford.
Isabel and Harry Mitchell were off to
Hamilton. Harry to sing with one of the
choirs he belongs to and Isabel to attend The
Rug Hooker's Convention in that city. We
can be sure there wouldn't be articles on
display to equal the artistry of the rugs that
Isabel has displayed.
The Hoveys were at a family birthday
party also. Ernie's brother Weldon reached
the big 80.
Weldy was a well known figure at the
Bayfield Dance Hall. Handsome like all the
Hoveys and a very smooth dancer. He lives
in London now.
How did it go, a tinker a taylor? How we
have a doctor and a lawyer in one household

Goderich. James is the son of Dr. Douglas
and Gail Grant who have summered here
for many years and now call Bayfield their
home. He has an office on East Street, just
above the Standard Trust Building in
Goderich and will be available for consulta-
tion in town by appointment. The Grants are
listed in the phone book. Our new lawyer has
both an MBA degree and one in law from the
University of Western Ontario, so he is well
qualified to give advice on legal matters.
Besides. he loves Bavfield and our Western
Ontario countryside.
