The puppeteer for the afternoon's event was Marion Doucette, from the Huron County Public Library. (David Emslie photo) A LETTER FROM DORIS Marina proposal comes under, fire By Doris Hunter BAYFIELD - Quite a meeting on Saturday when, Bayfield citizens turned out in force, to protest the further development of the river east of the bridge, to accommodate 100 small craft. No one mentioned the inevitable traffic congestion on the highway, with the propos- ed parking lot needing exit for the cars. The number of people who endeavoured to make themselves heard on that recalcitrant microphone were certainly a cross section of our community from Margaret McLeod Fawcette and Veronica Sturgeon who surely represent the early families of town, to sum- mer residents, and those of us who brave the winters and manage to survive without the tourists. One person has waxed poetic and in- trusted this gem to me. Oh Dear, oh dear, is it right To ruin Bayfield in the night? So galleons from a foreign strand Can dock and stay where once was sand? To build a jetty strong and firm And excavate our tree -lined berms Where once our fishermen could roam And dry their nets on racks that moan? And what the reason, shady schemer, To eradicate the little beaver? My children's loss - they'll never see Just how the beaver fells a tree. Tourist promoters, should try to unders- tand that travellers are looking for Cana- dians, their interest, their flora and fauna. Our house guest this weekend was a teenager from Woodstock, England. She had seen the sights in Toronto, Niagara Falls, etc. etc. but what excited her most, was a canoe trip on the Ausable through the Pinery. Beavers and heron were what she will remember, when the CN Tower is forgotten. Just a few years ago a paddle up the Bayfield could have shown her such sights. Dorothy Sangster, the journalist who wrote such an interesting article about our Bayfield; for the periodical Ontario Living, was a guest of the Albion management this weekend. Her husband, Sydney Katz, who also is very well known in the literary field, accompanied her. Autumn weddings have been very popular for many years. Mildred and George Fellows, who have summered here for so many years, celebrated their 50th anniver- sary on Sunday.

Lilian and Harold have fitted right into community living and become dear to the many folks who ktiow them. Congratulations to both couples, well known to us all. Serena Chilton and Bob Snell have chosen a September wedding date too and we hope they will celebrate their 50th in 2037 in good health and happiness together. Serena was guest of honor at a kitchen and bedroom shower, given by Leigh Anne Tamen, with her sister Lisa and mother Rose at their home. There were 25 guests in- cluding' relatives and friends from her childhood, a most happy evening. On September 3, at 7:30 p.m. in St. An- drew's Church Parlours, a miscellaneous community shower has been arranged, to which everyone is invited. Always a problem at showers is what to give which will be suitable for the couple's life style. If you have a similar difficulty, there will be a money tree at the door, the donor's name can be listed and the bride will be able to choose a gift for herself, a most practical modern custom. Further information may be obtained by calling Deb Johnston after 5:30 p.m. The number to dial is 565-2101. Many families have had very special visits together this summer. The children of the late Sylvanus Cann, who served in World War I, and lived to a ripe old age were together at the home of his daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. George Stevenson RR 1. Here for the fair weekend with them, were daughter Barb Baxter, he- two children David and Kevin from Guelph, their granddaughter Laurie Stevenson and friend Jaye Wright also from Guelph, grandson Jeff Stevenson from Toronto; Mrs. Stevenson's brother Bruce Cann of Ex- eter and her niece Pearl with her husband Ray Bower from Arthur. They participated in fair events. Kevin came fourth in the junior parade, Pearl Bower fourth in the bag tying contest and Mrs. Stevenson, taking top points in the bak- ing section, winning two free dinners at the Bayfield Village Inn for the third time. Sylvanus would have been proud of his fami- ly. He always turned out for parades they tell me. Barbara and Fred Erb, revelled in having the first of the fourth generation in their family to be initiated into the joy of Bayfield summer. Margaret Direkson Liedtke, who was named for her two great grandmothers, is the first child of the Erb's daughter Leslie and her husband J. Hugh Liedtke Jr. who live in Denver, Colorado. Barbara and her sister, Pat Cantrick, are nieces of Fanny and Lilian Morely who came to Bayfield first travelling by steam- ship from Detroit to Goderich, then to Bayfield by stage. Their family has sum- mered here ever since and take a keen in- terest in village affairs, a warm welcome to their newest member. St. Andrew's Church has new members, welcomed by transfer from other churches. Mrs. Jim MacRae, Joanne Telford and Mrs. Doug Wallis. On August 29, the 3M group of St. An- drew's organized a successful pork barbecue in Stanley Township Park with 56 participants who enjoyed the salads and desserts, pleasant company and a beautiful sunset over the lake. Puppet show, smashing success By Helen Owen BAYFIELD - On August 25 more than 30 people, children and adults enjoyed a per- formance given by Marian Doucette. Gob- ble It Up was the theme of the presentation, and one by one Ms. Doucette introduced her audience to her cast of puppets. What a variety and what fun to listen to the stories and watch those puppets tuck into sand- wiches and spaghetti. Especially popular was the story of the old woman who swallowed a fly, and as she pro- ceeded with her extraordinary diet, the children joined in echoing the familiar lines. In conclusion each child, and some adults, tried their hands at origami. With just a lit- tle help even the youngest managed the folds and produced a pink pig, something to take home as well as a picture to color. It was a successful program and one en- joyed by the children who gave it their un- divided attention. Diners' club is growing By Helen Owen BAYFIELD - The second Senior Diners' Club offered an excellent meal at the com- munity centre on August 27. Everyone seemed to enjoy the roast beef and apple crumble which formed the main part of the menu. Some newcolucrs were welcomed and it is hoped that others will take advantage of this service. Not only is the food excellent, serv- ed 'just like home' as someone said, but also there is an air of friendliness and an oppor- tunity to meet and talk to others in a sociable atmosphere. From now on the meal will be served regularly on Thursday at 12:30 a.m. in the community centre, but organizers do need to know in advance the names of those who plan to come as this helps in planning the catering - so please let us 'know by mid-day on Mondays. As Helen Owen will be on holidays please call Ruby Fitzsimons at 565-2605 in order to •EXCAVATING • TRENCHING of drains, water 8. hydro Tines Licensed to Install •SEPTIC SYSTEMS •LANDSCAPING •STUMP REMOVAL •DRIVEWAY INSTALLATION •TOP SOIL SAND & GRAVEL • DEMOLITION & HAULING John Chapman 565-2563 Hwy. 21 South 8A1/FIELD make your reservation.

Junior Baseball News This week it was the turn of the Cheese Nook Squirts to play in the tournament at Benmiller. They acquitted themselves well in the first game when they defeated Blyth with a score of 9-5. Then on Saturday morn- ing they were matched against Hullett, and despite their valiant efforts, the game went to their opponents who scored 13 to the Squirts 7. Next Friday the teams will hold their end of season party. At this point thanks are due to Wendy Hessel who has coordinated the programs, and to Cathie Fisher and Mary Pounder whose coaching has produced such good results.
