This contribution is much appreciated by the organizers as the setting up of the project necessitated expenditures for equipment, the major iters being sets of insulated trays for take out meals. Just a few minutes after, Brian Brandon, representing the Optimist Club added to the fund with a further donation of $100. Other groups in the village, the Lioness, the Ever Young Club, the Euchre Club and private in- dividuals have also made welcome contribu- tions as has the Goderich Rotary Club. The organization is grateful for this support especially as it has helped to clear debts to the Town and Country Homemakers who have proved such a tower of strength in en- couraging and assisting. The first of the hotel lunches will be at the Little Inn, 12:30 p.m. sharp 6h November 5, and the following week the Diners will meet at the Captains Cove. Please be sure to let organizers know before noon on Mondays, or preferably when you attend a luncheon, as they do need to know the numbers well beforehand — call Helen Owen 565-2956 or Ruby Fitzsimons 565-2605. Also let them know if you require transport. The next phase of the program is to pro- vide meals (delivered) on two other days a week during the winter months for those who are unable to get out, or who are sick. Again, please let them know if you are in- terested in this service so that they can go ahead with the organization as soon as possible. It was interesting to note at the public meeting in Clinton last week, 'One Stop Ac- cess', a program to support seniors and others in the community in connection with the pilot plan for Huron County, that Bayfield was mentioned as already having taken an initiative. Lions help others As a result of their fund raising efforts the hayfield Lions this week announced their contributions to various projects. Tcp of the bill was $1,000 for the Seniors' Support program which commenced in August. In' addition $f05 was given for a recdrd player for the pre-school group, a further $400 to the recreation committee towards the lighting of the ball diamond, $100 to Friendship House, $200 to Centres for the Deaf, $25 to the Lions Effective Speaking Contest, $100 to capital projects at Lake St. Joseph Camp for the Blind and $100 to Bayfield Story Hour. The list speaks for itself in revealing the interest taken by the club in all groups in the community and out- side who need financial support. Also note that once again the Lions are ac- cepting used eye glasses and hearing aids, and these may be left at the Bayfield Hard- ware Store. Once again the Trout Derby proved to be a tremendous success thanks to the members who did such a wonderful job planning and organizing the event. Winners of the draw prizes were: Rod and Reel - Bill Girvin, Stratford; Barbecue - O.B. Price, Stratford and Propane Camp Stove - John Linden, St. Marys. The profit was estimated at over $2,000 and Treasurer Gordon Graham also reported that a profit of over $6,700 was realized from the Bingo sessions run by the Lions and Lioness.

(Anne Chisholm photo) Gardeners to receive -spring flower bulbs The next meeting of the Garden Club, the last of . the year, will take place in the municipal building on November 9. Members are reminded that this is a social occasion and will take the form of a pot -luck supper, 6 p.m. or 6:30 p.m. and following the meal there be a slide show presented by members. It is the custom of the club to give a bonus to members and there has been a distribu- tion recently of narcissi bulbs, only one member has not been located, Carl Walker, and perhaps he would contact Kay Reid 565-2667 so that he can receive his bonus. Altogether some 900 bulbs were purchas- ed by the club and some -of these will be in evidence around the village in the spring as they will be used in the flower beds which the club maintains throughout the. spring and summer, and which receive so many compliments from visitors. 01 Trick free Halloween It was a fine night for trick or treat and in Bayfield the children were out on their rounds. At Clan Gregor Apartments, some 50 or more children dropped in to say hello and collect some goodies. There were fear- some looking characters, and a repeat visit from the hairy gorilla. Witches, wizards, brides, cowboys and girls, pirates, ghosts, space men, masked fellows with wicked looking swords, pussy cats and rabbits were just a few — and of course, much comment on exotic hair coloring, red, blue, green and sparkling. In some instances too, a lot of time and trouble had gone into make-up, which we were assured could be easily removed. Parents were also in evidence, escorting • their children or driving them from place to place, and towards the end of the evening it was evident by the bulky bags that a good many treats had been collected. One unfortunate occurence was the throw- ing of eggs from a car driving along Main Street, which broke a store window and damaged the display. • Health Clinic The Public Health Nurses will be in Bayfield on November 10 at the municipal building for the bi-monthly clinic, at 1:30 p.m. Regular attenders probably have a note of the date and there is no doubt that the foot care and advice available as well as blood pressure checks, are much appreciated. Recreation Draw Winner The winner of the October Draw run by the recreation committee was Joe Koene. Euchre Club When the euchre club niet on October 28 there were six tables out. Results of the games played were as follows: ladies' high - Grace McClinchey, ladies' low - Ilene Cleave, ladies' lone hands - Emma Cox, gents' high - Reg Wilson, gents' low - Jim Cox and gents' lone hands - Harvey Godbolt.

Horticultural Society plans annual November banquet CLINTON - The October meeting of the Horticultural Society was held at the Clinton Public School on October 28. Frank Van Altena welcomed the members, many of whom had arrived in good time to purchase the Horticultural Recipe Books. Plans were made for the annual banquet at the Anglican Church hall on November 25. Tickets may be purchased from Roberta Plumsteel any morning before November 15. The speaker of the evening was Rev. Lorenzo Ramirez of Blyth. The audience was keenly interested as he presented his slides and commentary of life in the Philippines. Only the wealthy have grass around their homes because the majority of people could not afford to keep it cut. Instead, the area around the dwellings is a mass of green plants and flowering shrubs. The country abounds in orchids of many kinds. Rice is grown in paddies on the terraced hillsides as well as in lower areas. They make use of the ocean tides to establish large fish farms. A typical meal would be rice, fish, sweet potatoes and fruit. Instead of milk the children drink juice of the sugar cane, pineapple or other tropical fruits. Most of the land is owned by the wealthy few who charge rent for everything the workers need to produce crops. Rev. Ramirez is an avid gardener and has mastered the art of growing orchids, many of which may be found in his home in Blyth. The appreciation of the group was ex- pressed by Kay Whitmore.
