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 • St. Andrew's United Church Hwy. 21, Bayfield 563-2854 R,' John F Hoek',tio M D' Orynnnt Molly Co.

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.

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? 0019 89 ALBERT STREET CLINTON PETRO CANADA OPEN - HOURS INCLUDING SELF—SERVE GAS BAR 3 VARIETIES FLAKY PASTRIES (PKG. 6 - 340 G.)

(Shelley McPhee Haist photo) 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.

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- DOG CATCHER required for the Village of Bayfield Duties and remuneration to be arranged with the Clerk. Patrick M.

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.
