Steve regrets that each runner, is given only one kilometre to run in this Cross Canada Race to Calgary. He entered because he realized it was unlikely that he would ever compete in the Olympics and by doing this, he could feel a part of this great event where Canada plays host to the top athletes of the world. Bayfield will remember with pride, that one of our young men is carrying the torch on January 3, 1988. Hurrah for Steve Lightfoot. The fire alarm strikes fear into every heart, except when we hear that reassuring blast on Saturday at 1 p.m. It says, loud and clear that everything is in working order and our firefighters are making sure of it. This week, it was for Maude Weston, whose daughter Cathy Sauve, in answer to her mother's call saying how ill she was, discovered her unconscious on her bed. Rus- ty Brandon was quickly on the scene, called the firefighters, who are now well trained and equipped for resuscitation, while Cathy had the ambulance there in time to take her mother to the old Victoria Hospital in London. Immediate surgery by Dr. Barr relieved the blood clot that had moved from the left side of the neck to her head thus saving our Maude from a horrible situation. She is feeling fine now, hopes to be home on Saturday. We trust they won't let her come back too soon. A crew from Channel 10 was in Bayfield, to take pictures at the Little Inn and the Al- bion. These old Inns are among those writ- ten about in the book just released called Tavern in The Town by Margaret McBurney and Mary Byers. The authorshad been here of course, to do research on the two Inns and were really impressed with so much of the authentic old buildings in daily use. The original cherry bar at the Albion will have a modern adaptation of something traditional in pubs, as John and Kim are in- stalling draft beer next week. Wonder if they have ever seen Pub trays? I have two, not for sale. They have little sort of troughs at each corner, to let the suds run off, the dealer told me when I bought the first one, in Batte, England a number of years ago. We have had another funeral in town. May Atkinson was buried next to her husband, Dr. John Atkinson of Detroit and Bayfield. We all knew him as Jack of course. The Atkinson family belong to one of our legendary Clans, famous for the talented craftsmanship of the brothers Casey, Gem and Jack and the fearless exploits of the children, Patricia, Stewart and Marion, who had such fun summering each year with their grandparents. We have missed their mother, May who loved our town and knew us all. It was she who gave the chimes at Trinity Anglican Church, in memory of her husband. Her children, Mrs. Norman Cooper and Stewart, have homes in Bayfield and their sister Marion Pence now lives in Baltimore, Maryland. She had five grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. It is sad to lose one of our long time village family, but we know that their descendants will always be returning to Bayfield. Once again the weekend will find our churches bustling with activity. The UCW at St. Andrew's is holding a Christmas bazaar and tea, in the church hall on November 28 from 2 to 4 p.m. We can be assured of some fine home baking, craft articles and everybody's favourite, the White Elephant Table. Will someone discover a real treasure, among the donations? See you there. The Anglicans are looking forward to a day long visit from their new area Bishop, known to us since his boyhood as Bishop William's son Bob Townshend. Bishop Bob will be taking the Confirma- tion Service at St. James Middleton at 11 a.m., so Mattins will not be said at 9:30 a.m. at Trinity, Holy Communion at 8 and Even- song at 7:30 p.m. All parishioners and friends will want to attend the 11 a.m. service at St. James. The ladies of that church most cordially invite you to remain, and meet the Bishop at which time they will be serving refreshments. Then at 4 p.m. the Rev. and Mrs. Bell will hold open house in his honor. Here again there will be an opportunity to talk with him about matters that may concern you. November 30 is St. Andrew's Day and it has been the pleasant custom of the Trinity ACW to attend a Communion service and then enjoy a pot -luck luncheon in the parish hall. The Trinity Church Women are follow- ing this tradition. The service will com- mence at 11 a.m. They are pleased to have the Rev. Wm. Hoekstra as speaker at the luncheon and have invited the ladies of his church to at- tend as well as those from the sister church of St. James, Middleton. Verna Lobb plays at service By Blanche Deeves HOLMESVILLE - Worship service at Holmesville United Church was held on November 22 with Rev. James Bechtel of- ficiating. Verna Lobb played the organ. Rev. Bechtel spoke to the children before going to classes.

(Anne Chisholm photo) Jeff McGregor gets shut -out BAYFIELD - Bayfield Novice team play- ing against Blyth last week resulted in triumph with a score of 10-0, and a shutout for goalie Jeff McGregor. Eric Le Compte was responsible for four goals, Jamie Dollery for three, and Adam Reder, Jackie Fisher and David Scott each scored one goal. Assists went to Jackie Fisher, Josh McKee and Nick Asher. The Atoms played against Huron Park and they too were winners defeating their opponents by 5-1. Four goals were scored in the first, two by David Rathwell and one by Shane Pounder, then in the second Sam Gundy and David Rathwell took the score to five, and in the third Richy Dobson scored the goal for Huron Park. As their opponents were short handed, Jeff McGregor played in goal for them. Seniors' News Last week the Bayfield Village Inn hosted the Diners' Club luncheon and 38 par- ticipants sat down to enjoy a meal with two volunteers, Wyn Graham and Helen Owen helping out with the service. This week the group will move to the fourth restaurant participating in the pro- gram, the Albion Hotel. It is stressed that they do have to know the exact numbers by noon on Mondays and it's a good idea to con- firm with Ruby or Helen before you leave after lunch. As mentioned last week, the delivery ser- vice has run into difficulties because so few have indicated an interest. It will be ap- preciated that the cost of the food, the employment of a cook and the rental for a Ministry of Health approved kitchen makes the project uneconomical unless the ameni- ty is fully used. Consequently, and very regretfully, the program has had to be discontinued for the time being. Those con- cerned have been notified. It is hoped that the program may be able to resume after Christmas, so watch this column for an oil - date. Say.... MERRY CHRISTMAS to your family and 'all' your friends with ease this year!
