Historical Society Last Meeting The Bayfield Historical Society held its last meeting for the year on November 23 and it was well attended. Introducing the speaker, the Hon. Murray Cardiff, MP, Rae Fraser said it was a pleasure to introduce a man who was not only a federal member of Parliament, but someone whose roots were in the area and also a farmer in Huron County. Mr. Cardiff began by recalling earlier connections with Bayfield and the dances held there, and complimented Harry Baker on his book which evoked memories of the village and its residents. He had, he said, just arrived back from Calgary and did not propose to deal with any controversial subjects as in fact, he would be handling question period in the House on the following day. However, with reference to Bayfield, he said he did understand the importance of preservation which would yet allow for growth and yet conserve the unique com- munity, its buildings and environment. From there on he talked with humor and perception of the experiences and knowledge he had obtained firsthand in the course of travels abroad. He spoke of In- donesia, the Philippines and of China. In the latter country he had been interested because in that vast population there were some 800,000,000 farmers whose methods and equipment were still of a primitive nature. He described his impressions of the Great Wall which he had visited, its primary purpose of keeping out invaders and the awesome aspects of its structure and longevity which had survived the deprada- tions of time. He touched on the history of the Forbidden City and the lavish life style which it had engendered. His most recent role as Parliamentary secretary had led to the trip to Calgary for a special event at Drumheller and an oppor- tunity to witness ceremonies, dancing and music of the native Indian population. In ad- dition he descril•ed the museum, a new pro- ject, and the dinosaur specimens displayed there. In his final remarks, Mr. Cardiff touched on the subjects of pollution, enterprise and the impressive influence of youth which he had encountered in the course of his travels, and he also related some amusing incidents where the utmost diplomacy was required COUNTRY BULK We Thank God Psalm III SUNFLOWER I SEEDS FOR BIRDS Block 50 Ib. bag i 1 399 • Striped 50 Ib bag Save 2.00 bag r � 499 • / 1 SANTA DARE JUGES 2 44' 100 g .00 Ib ITTED DATES I33' 100 g 1.50.. 1 SOFT PITTED DATES 44. 100 g • 00 Ib.

At the conclusion of his talk, Cardiff answered questions front the a r . : nee, and during the social half hour which followed, many of those present took the opportunity to have a personal word with their Federal Member of Parliament. Lions ClubNews It is interesting to note in the Lions' November newsletter that a project to which the Bayfield Lions made a donation three years ago has made considerable strides forward since that time. The history and progress of the Nyegeze Children's Orphanage in Mevangza, Tan- zania, was described atthe October meeting by Jan,Nyyssonen of Brantford. Her dedica- tion has helped to accomplish a good deal, so much so that now as vell as providing ac- commodation for 14 children, the building is to be extended to incorporate a pre -natal and child care clinic. Not only were Bayfield Lions the first Lions Club to support the program but they have subsequently v)ted a further $500 towards this work. A further link with the village will be maintained through Debbie, daughter of Lion Al Hughes, as she will be going to Africa in the New Year to help at the orphanage. One hundred dollars was also approved as a donation to the Huron County Christmas Bureau. A new member of the Club was welcomed, Clark Wilson, who has recently retired and come to live in the area with his wife, Dorothy. Optimist News Once again it's that time of year and hockey enthusiasts and supporters have an opportunity to watch the games, from the comfort of the community centre on Friday evenings where refreshments are served from 7 p.m. until midnight.

Recreation Draw The winner of the Recreation Committee November Draw Was Ede Turner. Agricultural Society Annual Meeting Members of the Agricultural Society recently enjoyed a potluck supper when the annual meeting was held in the municipal building in Bayfield. The meeting was chaired by President, Rick Penhale. Reports for the year were received and showed that the Society had a successful fair in 1987. However, with rising costs, Treasurer Gordon Graham presented a report which showed a very small bank balance with which to begin the coming year. He also pointed out to the members that without the generous donations from the Lions Club, concerned ,members, plus grants, the Society would not be able to hold a fair. It was noted that the Society greatly ap- preciates all the help which is received. During the business meeting the dates for the 19 fair were set for August 26 and 27. The president is to continue into 1988, and John Fisher was elected to serve as vice- president with Barry Cleave as second vice. Gordon Graham will remain as treasurer and Marilyn Durand as secretary. Ina Fisher is taking over as president of the homecraft section and the present board of directors remains the same. Plans are already in hand for the 1988 fair. This year the Bayfield Society was host to the annual meeting of District 8 Societies. Close to 200 delegates attended the supper and business meeting held in the Stanley Township Centre. Various methods were discussed by the different societies as to how the fairs could be improved to attract more exhibitors, etc. Minor Hockey News Two games were played against Hensall on November 25 and in their fourth game the Novices lost 6-2, with Jackie Fisher and Eric LeCompte scoring for Bayfield.
