It was a joy to the rector and wardens to greet so many friends from other Bayfield Churches as well as their own parishioners. The procession, led by altar girl Victoria Smith, carrying the Processional Cross, followed by the two wardens Alice Brandon and Charles Machen bearing the Warden's Wands, in case the congregation proved unruly, as old custom dictates. Then the Rector Aubrey Bell, Archdeacon William Graham, from Owen Sound and finally the Bishop, Morse Robinson in full episcopal regalia, his cope and mitre were white with gold embroideries and of course he was car- rying his Shepherd's Staff. Very moving, very beautiful, showing how well a small church can follow tradition with dignity. Tribute was paid at the reception to the generosity of the donors of the stained glass window, portrayed the baptism of the young Christ, by John the Baptist. Harold Beakhust was given most heartfelt thanks by Warden Charles for the constant supervision and early proposals for the design of the new narthex and offices. A token gift was presented at this time. Bishop Robinson was making a farewell visit to the Church, as her Bishop and the congregation was most grateful to have him as Celebrant on this most happy occasion. An expression of their affection for him was the gift of an original drawing of the church, with the new Pollock memorial narthex in place. The drawing by Alec Durnford, was given by our talented local artist for this purpose. The memorials included, the narthex, be- queathed to the church by Evelen Johnston, the window in the new Baptistry by Flory and Ed Oddleifson, the offices from the be- quest of the late Rev. Canon Paull and a tree in his memory, the gift of a number of his friends. Barbara Young, student minister at Knox Presbyterian Church, reports an influx of summer visitors at their morning service. She hopes it will continue. Adrienne Chan, the granddaughter of Cor- rine Chan, the organist, is their very young soloist. Also present was the teen choir from Elmwood Presbyterian Church London, who performed three musical selections. Easy to tell when there's a party going on in town, by the line up of cars by the house. There was a very happy one at the Clarks, THE CLOTHES LINE "Summer Fashions at Affordable Prices" MAIN ST., BAYFIELD 565-2745 Proprietor: Rob Cluff Next door to Harry's Restaurant when all five of their children, with their wives, and their sons and daughters and even one small great granddaughter, brought a feast to celebrate the 53rd wed- ding anniversary of Bill and Jean. Lovely weather allowed the fainly to move out onto the lawn to enjoy good memories together. Lots of cars too at the Harold Brandon's as all six of the daughters of the late Chris Parker were together there for a buffet sup- per in honor of the two sisters from the west, Louise Preber, and Thelma Bye with her husband Arnold, who are visiting their fami- ly from Naicom, Saskatchewan. There were 35 on hand to enjoy the reunion and the sup- per served on the lawn. Bless the benign weather again. The Parkers are a legendary family in Bayfield, among the earliest settlers here, helped to found Trinity Anglican Church. Luckily nobody wants to say gossip things about them, there are surely a lot of Parker relatives in town, be they Scotts, Brandons, Weston, just to name a few. This is the time when we have our out of town grandchildren with us. Doris Reddoch is looking expecially nappy as she has her son and family with her. Douglas and Elizabeth Pitts have two of their children with families staying with them. Currently at niy house, Troy and Patience and offspr- ing Candide and Tiny Tim have taken possession. If you meet them away from home remember where they live for the summer. Greater love hath no grandmother than to take in her families Siamese cats. I can feel my wings sprouting. ' What are we doing for fun this weekend? All going to the famous United church beef barbecue, July 4th with our guests (no cats 1. Dinner for adults, lots of homemade pies, costs $4.50 for children under 10, $3.50. Then firewords, set off from the pier by the Optimists and firefighters, and Sunday morning - breakfast with the Lions either before or after church, at the community centre. Hurrah, no cooking this weekend, and lots of sociability. Don't forget the Pioneer Park Rummage Sale coming up next. Cliff Freeman will pick up your donations. What a wonderful auction sale on Satur- day. Clair and Dorothy Merner have been convenors for many years as their beautiful possessions clearly showed. It was good to talk to Clair about where things came from, and to admire the mamoth jobs Ede and Grant Turner did in sorting and packing that lifetime's accumulation of goods. Thinking of treasures, we all know what beautiful estate Sarah and Richard Dick, have had for sale at the Village Guild over the years. We have discovered that one of their sources has been Drake Antiques in Toronto, and the owners, Mr. and Mrs. Munn will be exhibiting at the Bayfield Anti- ques Fair. Just one of the 34 dealers who will be there on August 7, 8 and 9. Tickets for the preview will soon be available.

STOLEN * FRESH OR FROZEN LYLE'S OWN quarh::rpound beef burgers "New" old lights up... By Helen Owen . BAYFIELD "When the lights come up again..." - remember that song and how it echoed the nostalgia experienced during years of black -out? In Bayfield this week the words had a different connotation, for the "new" old lights went up on Main Street. In May, 1985 the Minutes of the Bayfield Ratepayers' Association record that the chairman of the LACAC, Charles Rogers, presented the committee's report which in- cluded that a recommendation should be made to village council that consideration should be given to the refurbishing of the 1927 street lights which might then be placed in the designated area on Main Street. Sixty four people attended the ratepayers' meeting and when this proposal was put to the vote, only six opposed it. John Crosthwaite is noted as having offered 10 such lights for the accomplishments of such a project. The lights were subsequently refurbished, Hydro consulted and council's approval ob- tained, so that it came about on June 25 that the work was completed. As a footnote, it is interesting to read in the recently published History of the Village of Bayfield, that lighting of the village streets played a big part in local affairs. In fact, in 1927 what was considered an ex- ceedingly high cost for operating a hydro system led to the disincorporation of the village at that time. B eld is proud of its heritage and the lights 1low in place are not pseudo 'olde world` but the genuine thing, as will be recalled by many local residents. To some, no doubt, this action will be seen as a retrograde step, while others will ap- plaud it as a commendable achievement - and, of course, there are always those who will be totally indifferent. bions' News The Lions' news bulletin for June ex- presses thanks and appreciation for the diligent leadership of Lion President, John Siert.sema and Lioness, Marg Lince. May has certainly' been a busy month for the Lions with the start of the bingo sessions, which thanks to Lion Phil Gemeinhardt's endeavours now offer patrons the comfort of air conditioning. The Bayfield Club also at- tended the 18th twinning meeting hell at Fort Sanilac, and representatives were also present at the lone advisory meeting in Exeter.
