The LACAC has planned just such an in- teresting excursion for their first Geographical and Historical Treasure Hunt. Thanksgiving weekend find out what you know about our local History and the coun- tryside around us. The way it works, is to take a carload of friends to the Bayfield Fairgrounds at 9 am, pay the $10 entrance fee, and receive a map of the course and an assortment of questions you can only answer by driving to the source of information. An example might be ( but isn't) when did Baron De Tuyll purchase the land where Bayfield is located now? You would want to go to Clan Gregor Square and find the answer on the Heritage Plaque so recently erected on the square at the instigation of the LACAC. The persons who have the most correct answers will be the winners of the very at- tractive prizes which have been donated by people who care about what the LACAC is doing to maintain our beautiful village in a style which compliments the fine old • buildings we have inherited. The Little Inn, and the Country Store as well as the Albion Hotel have give very at- tractive gifts for the Treasure. Don't miss this new venture by the LACAC, which is a village appointed committee, receiving tuncls for their expenses. Anyone may join the rally, Bayfielders or not, just for the fun of it. The Recreation Committee is also ap- pointed by the Village Council. They endeavor to offer different activities to engage your leisure time. Suggestions are welcome of course. Mr. Graham will pass them on to the proper person. The Pottery ('lub which has been very popular for several years has commenced again this week. Mrs. George Chapman is the one to call if you wish to join. Last year a china painting group was formed which proved to be an absorbing art to learn. This year' classes will cornmence October 20 from 9 to 12 and a second class from 1 to 4. On Thursday, October 22 from 1-4 the instructor Lesley Zobol will start the eight week course. The cost is $30 and you should call Barbara Lawson at 565-2765 for information. There is a Euchre Club in Bayfield too. They have been playing cards together for many years. Often there are eight or nine tables at the game. It will start the fall season, Wednesday evening October 4 at 8 pm, in the Municipal Building of course. Ladies are customarily invited to bring a lunch, but of course no gentleman bringing sandwiches would be discouraged. New players are cordially invited to join the group. Helen Lindsey can give you more details should you wish to call her. The Bayfield Pre -School is a really fine in- stitution in Bayfield. Our small types seem to be more charming each year. The Pre - School is an excellent place for them to learn how to socialize, a first step towards becoming a civilized person. The story hour on Tuesday at the library is another ex- cellent experience for our little children. Best of all is story time at home, where Mother or Daddy reads aloud from a treasured book. Our library has a nice selec- tion of children's books, but it is very impor- tant for each child to possess books of their own, which can be read again and again. Now the Pre -School Mothers are sponsor- ing a showing and sale of quality books of- fered by the firm calling itself Pig (ales. These books are fun as well as being educa- tional and they are sold at affordable prices. There will be a consultant on hand to help you make your choice. It is a splendid way to buy Christmas presents. Grandmothers take note. There will, at the same time be a demonstration of Tupperware products, Christmas specials and a small gift for those attending. The date is October 17 from 10:30 am to 2:30 pm at the Municipal Building and Skating, gardening, storytelling are available the Pre -School group should have a small profit from the two exhibits. Personally I have always given a book as a present to new babies, the start of a library of their own. After that article in the London Free Press last week one would think our village was falling apart with discord. On the con- trary, things are going well in our town, it is just the flag in Clan Gregor Square which is now all tattered and torn. The winds of Autumn undoubtedly are the cause and not militant villagers. All kinds of good wishes for Patti Rau, the popular proprietor of Images Hair Dressing salon, She has just become engaged to Stephan Parr and they are planning to be married next September. He is a very lucky man. Our deepest sympathy to Kay Renner and her family in the loss of her daughter Karin Geminhardt. Hayfield's long time friends Lois and Don Lance are also having to bear the loss of a beloved child. Their son Christopher died as the result of an accident with a gun. The Lance's address is 302 S. Blair Ave., Royal Oak, Mich., 48067. Don't forget the Garden Club's fall auc- tion, Monday October 13, at 8 pm. Everybody welcome. Rae Fraser would like you to make your reservation now, for the Historical Society's annual fall bus tour on October 26. Lots of room.

Lions, Lioness pick new. officers By Helen Owen BAYFIELD - The September meeting of the Bayfield Lions marked the beginning of another year for the club who have, as usual, been very busy throughout the summer. Much work and effort went into the popular bingo sessions and the pancake breakfasts. It is also interesting to note that the paper pick-up has increased by almost 50 percent over last year. Picking up the papers on the first Saturday of each month is hard work, but it is gratifying when the response is so good and is another way in which to help the club pursue their objectives. And, of course, the Lions were much in evidence at the fair with their float and rides.
