Bayfield Bugle
Over 100 attend the village's
.Remembrance Day service
By Helen Owen
BAYFIELD - The rain which had been
falling on November 8 eased for awhile
when over 100 people congregated on Clan
Gregor Square for the Remembrance Day
Service at which Branch Chaplain, Rev.
George Youmatoff officiated.
Parade Marshall, Joe 'Mayman, escorted
the veterans who marched from St. An-
drew's United Church and took up their
places in front of the Cenotaph. Led by the
Rev. Youmatoff, the congregation sang.
Following the prayer corrunemorating the
dead, the Roll of Honour for 1914-1918 and
1939-1945 was read by Ernie Hovey. Next
came the prayer for peace and then the
placing of the wreaths as follows: for the
Province of Ontario - E. W. Oddleifson; for
the Village of Bayfield, Reeve David
Johnston; the Royal Canadian Legion, Mer-
ton Merner; Bayfield Lioness, Kathleen
Siertsema; Bayfield Lions, John Siertsema,;
Bayfield Optimists, Morris Scott; Trinity
Anglican Church, Margaret Chapman; St.
Andrew's United Church, Rev. Gordon
Kurtz; Bayfield Baptist Church, Robert
Speir; Knox Presbyterian Church, Ed Kel-
ly; Guides and Brownies, Kim Scrimgeour
and Jannake Vorsteveld; for the Scouts,
Cubs and Beavers, Jacob Stauttener; and
Murray Jesson for Dorothy and Murray in
memory of their respective fathers.
All was quiet on the Square as the poig-
nant notes of the Last Post echoed through
the stillness. Then followed the silence, a
brief moment, which must have recalled so
many memories for many of those present.
In contrast the Reveille issued a fresh
challenge to the silent listeners.
The service concluded with the moving
words of the poem by Laurence Binyon,
"They shall grow not old We will
remember them."
And today, more so than ever it is impor-
tant that we should do so.
As Rev. Youmatoff said, "We are not here
to glorify war, but to remember those whose

sacrifices were made for us."
This small community of Bayfield
remembered them, fathers, grandfathers,
uncles, cousins and sons.
Yet, there are so many places where con-
flict persists in today's world, Afghanistan,
South Africa, the Middle East, just to men-
tion three, all of which also saw bitter and
despera(;e fighting back in the reign of
Queen Victoria. Living together peacefully
remains a lesson which history still has to
teach, and each generation needs to study
that lesson carefully if the future is to be
preserved.
Seniors' News
This past week saw the first of the Diners'
Club luncheons in Hayfield's hotels. The Lit-
tle Inn was the host on November 5 and
welcomed 44 guests. It was a good beginning
with everyone enjoying a beautifully served
meal. Organizers would like to say thank
you to the proprietors and staff who made
this first venture such an enjoyable
occasion.
On November 12, they move to the Cap-
tain's Cove for which they received a
number of bookings immediately. Please
remember, they do need to know before
noon on Mondays - call 565-2956 or 565-2605.
In addition, they are now going ahead with
the delivery program which is scheduled for

especially designed for those unable to get
out, or who are unwell. Anyone wishing to
participate should contact Town and Coun-
try Homemakers 1-800-265-3039.
There are volunteers who are doing a
wonderful job in support of the programs,
but if there are any others who feel that they
could help, please call 565-2956, or Town and
Country Homemakers at the number listed
above. The more we have the less the
demands we have to make on the few.
A LETTER FROM DORIS
Bayfield firefighters
want your books, toys
By Doris Hunter
BAYFIELD - Our firefighters have
assumed an extra responsibility. They will
accumulate toys, donated by you and I, to be'
distributed throughout the county to those in
need of play things.
The toys and books etc. need not be in new
condition. The firefighters will take them to
the Bluewater Centre, where the boys there
will be taught how to refurbish them, and
make them attractive for the children.
It is a worth while exercise as not only will
the recipients enjoy their gifts, the young of-
fenders will be usefully employed and have
a share in Christmas giving.
Any of our firefighters will accept your
donations, or you can take them to the
firehall any Saturday at 1 p.in.
Make room in your child's toy box for the
gifts sure to appear December 25.
Freida and Roy Scotchmer had a quiet
60th'wedding anniversary as their son, Ken,
was in Goderich hospital. The day was a
happy one however, as friends dropped in to
wish them well, and there were cards, and
flowers and phone calls from their many
friends.
They were entertained at dinner by others
and enjoyed the Senior Citizens Diners' Club
at the Little Inn.
Mementos to treasure are the messages
from the queen, the prime minister, our
governor general and Murray Cardiff, our
member of Parliament.
Freida and Roy wish to thank most
sincerely those who remembered their very
special anniversary. They are thankful too,
that Ken is safely at home having had very
good care in Goderich.
Next Sunday, Nov. 15, St. Andrew's
Church in Bayfield will have a pulpit ex-
change with Hibbert United. Deborah
Hoekstra will preach from her father's
pulpit. Surely a heartwarming service for
the congregation who hold Mr. Hoekstra in
great affection.
Trinity Church held a special vestry
meeting on Sunday evening to appoint a peo-
ple's warden, with ('harles Machen having
moved to Toronto.
Robert Cluff was appointed with great
pleasure, by the congregation.
Bob grew up in our village in a strong
Anglican family. He had two uncles who
were wardens at 'Trinity, the late Alf Scot-
chmer and Fred Arkell.
His mother, Helen l ,ebeau, has held many
offices in the church, and his wife. Joan, has
been church treasurer for several years.
Their son, Rob, now away at college. served
as altar boy and dau„ l,tcr Tara has helped
in the Sunday school.
It is fitting for Bob to accept this respon-
sibility and the honor of acting as warden of
his church.
The Trinity Church Women are busy this
week, preparing for their annual Christmas
Bazaar, which takes place on Saturday,
starting at 2 p.m.
It is a time to enjoy meeting one another
over a cup of tea and a chance to buy attrac-
tive gifts, white elephants, a Christmas cook
book, a tape of Christmas music, and this
year there will be a fish pond for the
children, a table of recommended Christian
books and last but far from least, the ever
popular bake table. Yes, Maude Weston will
be baking one of her superb cakes and Edith
Smith is sure to bring some of her tasty
cocktail crunchies.
Gladys Malcolm is the president of the
association and will welcome each and
everyone of you. The gentlemen of town en-
joy the bazaar too. '
Bev and Jack Pounder have just returned
from one of their most interesting trips
among the many, they have enjoyed over
the years. This one took them to Korea,
Japan and China, a very different world
from ours.
Bev was especially interested in China.
The final meeting of the directors of
Pioneer Park for 1987 was held on Saturday.
President Dr. Bill Tillman presided.
Plans for programs which will appeal to
children are being developed as well as con-
certs to interest all ages.
The directors want the Park to be a vital
source of enjoyment for all residents and
vacationers. You will be kept informed as
definite dates are set.
The village can be proud of the Park. It
is unique in its concept and is to be con-
gratulated on moving with the times. This
year they have held a successful member-
ship campaign, an example for other
organizations in town.
Now what we must have is such an
organization to secure the use and enjoy-
ment of our community. Individuals, as well
as the Pottery Club, have offered to con-
tribute funds, all we need is a "spark plug"
to get things rolling.
Will Shakespeare said it and the Huron
Church News quotes it:
"Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose
the good we all might win by fearing to
attempt."
Good thing Lucy Diehl had the courage to
save that piece of land for the Pioneer Park.
Who will preserve our town hall as an
entity?

Optimist means involvement
By Helen Owen
BAYFIELD - In their November newslet-
ter, the Optimist Club of Bayfield has taken
a positive step by assigning all members to
serve on their various committees, and
thereby encourages total involvement in all
the projects which they undertake.
At their last business meeting the club
made two donations, one to the Pre -School
Group, $150 for the purchase of materials to
build portable book shelves, and another to
the Senior meals program of $100.
A Christmas Draw is in the offing - watch
out for members with tickets to sell and sup-
port this project, which in turn will help to
support a number of others.
The Halloween Dance was reported as be-
ing a success and a chance meeting with
some of the people Making their way to the
community centre on Saturday last in-
dicated that some very interesting costumes
had been devised for the occasion. The club
would like to thank all those who attended,
and those who helped to run this event.
Minor Hockey News
It's that time again and the Bayfield
Minor Hockey teams came out in good form
to start the season. Playing against Blyth,
the Novices emerged victorious winning
their game 3-2. Atoms also played against
Blyth and held the game to a draw - 3-3.
Ever Young Club Day Trip
On November 2, members of the Bayfield
Ever Young Club enjoyed a bus trip to
Brantford. The first stop was at Carr's
Tavern, Galt where everyone sat down to a
meal.
The party then proceeded to Brantford to
the Capitol Theatre. First on the program
was a presentation by Scott's of New York,
an explanation of the resort and some lively
entertainment.
Following the intermission an entirely dif-
ferent note was struck with the Hawaiian
Show. The program comprised some danc-

ing, powerful singing and colorful costumes
and concluded with an extract from their
Christmas series. The theatre was fuil with
some 700 people in the audience.
Next stop was the Lynden Park Mall
where the party was free to look around and
select somewhere to eat at their leisure
before the return to Bayfield.
Historical Society Happenings
Instead of their usual meeting at the end
of October, members of the Bayfield
Historical Society joined together for a bus
trip. The first stop was the Pine River
Cheese factory where they were welcomed
to the plant, shown a film depicting the pro-
cesses in cheese making and offered
samples before making a few purchases of
their own.
The next stop before lunch was the Reser-
vation outside Southampton where there
was an opportunity to view the magnificent
open air theatre which has been con-
structed. Situated in ideal surroundings
sheltered by trees with the Saugeen River in
the background, it was the perfect spot to
rest awhile before exploring the colorful
well -kept gardens.
Before leaving, the party visited the
church and were told of its history, and of
the people, their lives and occupations and
the ecumenical character of thechurch. The
mural behind the altar was the work of a
local artist and provided the perfect
background for the simple and yet imposing
cross constructed of birch trees in their
natural state.
Next stop was for lunch in Southampton
and then the party moved on to the Bruce
County Museum. Here they were weleomed
by the curator and invited to wander at
leisure to view the exhibits, which inciden-
tally included a display of dinosaurs on loan
from ROM. There was much of interest in-
cluding military memorabilia, costumes,
furnishings, industrial and commercial
artifacts.
