(David Emslie photo) A LETTER FROM DORIS An instant garden By Doris Hunter BAYFIELD - The Gammages waved a magic wand this week and an instant garden appeared on the lawn beside the Totality Shop. The geraniums are as spectacular as in other years.. George Chapman bought` some a few years ago and he decided to teach himself how to take shops of the fine plants he had. They're blooming in his solarium now, and will be all summer. The Garden Club was treated to a "how to" talk, from George recently. Books are on my mind as I turn off the TV in disgust, will cable bring us good PBS pro- grams? Marg and Ed Gale have a new book outlet at their service station and lunch room. They call it the Book Trader. You can take your well read copies in and trade them for others. Should work well, especially for paperbacks. Two dealers are bringing antiquarian books to the Bayfield Antiques Fair along with their other treasures. Alfred Mulligan is to be congratulated by us all as he celebrates his 90th birthday May 23 with his son Paul and grandson Kevin. His home was in Ottawa before coming to Bayfield. What memories he must have of remarkable changes in our country and the amenities we now enjoy. Kay Renner has been away in Toronto to' greet the new grandson her daughter Monica has presented her with. Harvey McDougall is back in hospital, we're sorry to report. Harvey is the man who organized that valiant effort to bring the blue birds back to our area. They were so lovely to see lighted on a fence rail when one came as a city child to holiday here. Graduations are the order of the day hap- py events, each university with a little dif- ferent form of program. Anneke Rogers received her B.A. at the 12Ist Convocation of Canesius College in Buffalo. There was an impressive mass the night before with the reception following, rather than the garden parties after the graduates receive their diplomas as is customary at Western and the University of Toronto. An honorary degree was awarded to a married couple, graduates of Canesius many years ago, for their lives as an exemplary Christian Cou- ple. Surely a tribute to happy marriages. The President of the College really gave a marvelous climax to his speech by singing quite beautifully, appropriate bars from the song in Cats memories and they finished with the melody on his trombone. Gail Grant, membership convenor for the Pioneer Park Association, sends this note: The new sign in Pioneer Park is an at- tempt to make the public aware of the ex- pensive work that is necessary in order to keep the tree itself intact rather than just Charles Rogers' photograph as a memory. A friend of the Park at the Bluewater Cen- tre generously donated his time and talent, for which the association is very grateful. Most of you will also have received a let- ter from the Pioneer Park Association urg- ing you to join the Association or to renew your membership. This is the first member- ship drive ever undertaken: after 40 years, expenses are mounting. The opportunity is there for everyone to help save both the tree and the lovely park. Teen club participates in sporting activities By Maureen Dunsmore VANASTRA Over the last few weeks the teen club here has been busy with a lot of sports. For two of their meetings they played games of baseball. Many of the teens arrived home with grass stained knees, something parents thought was over years ago. The last two meetings have been a game of football and a game of soccer. The club is trying to make plans for a trip to Canada's Wonderland. They will also begin discussions on more ways to raise money, and where to donate the funds raised. YARD SALE On June 20 the Vanastra Public School will be holding a yard sale. The money rais- ed from this event will go towards the pur- chase of computers for the school. Parents wishing to donate items can contact Debbie Sallows at 482-3524 or Bev Walsh at 482-3824.

By Helen Owen BAYFIELD - When the recreation com- mittee set up its bottle and can collection depot, perhaps it was not made clear that refunds on returns would be made on the same basis as when they are returned to Brewer's Retail, that is 10 cents on bottles and five cents on cans. The committee is not seeking this rebate as a donation, as their money will be derived from the collection for Brewer's Retail. It was felt that this misapprehension should be cleared up and it is hoped, that this will encourge people to return their bot- tles and cans to the committee depot at the Old Town Hall, which offers such an ameni- ty in the village. Garden Club News There was .a lively atmosphere when members of Bayfield Garden Club met -on May 11, and the table in the municipal building was covered with a wonderful variety of plants. It has now become customary for this meeting to take the form of an auction with the items donated, and the proceeds to the club. Word has certainly got around and the room was full. This time the auctioneers were two members of the club, Stuart Oakes and Percy Renner with Leda McAlister on hand to identify and provide information about the various species being offered. Bidding was brisk, and sometimes quite competitive and by the end of the session every plant had been sold. Satisfied customers loaded their cars with new ac- quisitions, bargains when prices were com- pared to those for similar items in current catalogues. It was certainly the most suc- cessful auction held to date with the pro- ceeds far exceeding those of any previous occasion. Historical Society Meeting The .next meeting of the Bayfield Historical Society will be held in the municipal building on May 25 at 8 p.m. On this occasion the speaker will be Catherine Kazsas, the artistic director from the theatre at Blyth. Since many Bayfield residents support and regularly attend the theatre there, this `back -stage' glimpse should prove of special interest, and will no doubt, enhance the enjoyment of future play -going. Sneaker Day Don't forget May 22 is Sneaker Day! The idea is to launch 'Canada's Fitweek' by en- courage everybody to wear their sneakers on this day. Sneakers come iri all sizes from those very tiny ones in which infants first discover how to walk to those used by athletes, those used for comfort, regular ex-'' Do you know By Donald Broadfoot BRUCEFIELD - The spring concert at Huron Centennial School played to full houses both evenings which many former teachers returned.

Styles and colors vary to meet every taste as well „ as fastenings from traditional laces to Velcro. Some, of course, might be called vintage models, which perhaps are not so fully ap- preciated by all members of the household' although dearly beloved by the wearer. But whatever the condition of your own special pair, why not make a point of giving them a good airing on May 22 so that you are walk- ing in step to celebrate Fitness week! Pancake Breakfast Starting at 9 a.m. to Bayfield Lions were busy on May 17, and with their usual exper- tise served liberal helpings of pancakes, sausages and maple syrup to a steady stream of customers. Washed down with coffee or orange juice the meal provided an excellent breakfast - or lunch if you came in later as the service continued until 1 p.m. The regulars were much in evidence en- joying the food and the company while newcomers added to the numbers and once again ensured a successful project. A donation will be made to Clinton Public Hospital from the proceeds. Well done, Lions - such an undertaking requires preparation, planning - and a lot of cleaning up! in this song? Tommy married Joyce, no one married me. And the class of all of us will be part of history. And the graduating classes have their dreams, But living life day to day is never what it seems, Things get complicated when you get past eighteen, But the graduating classes have their dreams.
