(Paul Rudan photo) A LETTER FROM DORIS Santa to make Christmas rounds By Doris. Hunter Santa Claus will be out on the streets, come Christmas Eve, by special invitation of the Lions Club. Charlie Scotchmer will be driving him about town to call on the shut- ins and the elderly, with a Christmas gift to leave with them. This very pleasant custom has been a Lions Club personal outreach for over 35 years. Just one of the many fine gifts to the community this club has been able to do since it was formed in 1957, with a mandate to devote themselves to the service of their community. There are five of the original members, still active in the organization, Jack and Charles Scotchmer, Ken Brandon, Ernie Hovey and Lloyd Makins. They can look back over the years at a list of im- provements and achievements so numerous it is impossible to record them all. Outstan- ding among them is their leadership and fund raising for the building of two arenas. The first one with a lot of volunteer labor. Mert Merner, virtually lived on the site. Lorna used to say "they talk about golf widows, I'm an arena widow." They did it with super parades to the fairgrounds, where there were games of chance, pony rides, bingo and even a merry- go-round, handmade by the late Russell Kerr. Bingo and the collection of your carefully, sailed waste paper are now their chief sources of income and for many years now they have enjoyed the help of their sister organization, the Lioness, who deserve an eulogy in their own right. The latest event was the Turkey Bingo, which was very well attended and lots of fun. The list of winners is published elsewhere in the paper. Fire Alarm Goes Off The fire alarm this week, was for the Russell Flowers' property. That fine barn of theirs was lost. It is a miracle that the two houses did not go too, as the wild winds that day were ideal for spreading sparks and flame. Minutes were lost, so crucial at such a time, as only the fourth call from Rose Tamen got through to the red phones in each fire fighters' home. Three different people had tried to get through. How vital our telephone system is. Christmas Baby There's a Christmas baby in the Burt family. Joyce and Bud are grandparents for the first time, as Danny has arrived, the son of their daughter Diane and her husband Ken Lamb, in St. Catharines. Look for another set of doting grandparents. I am reminded of the little boy who went to Sunday School for the first time. When his mother asked him who was there, he said "A lot of kids and Jesus' grandmother. "However did you knowat, was the next question, and the reply. She had to be, all she could talk about was Him." More babies make news, as Jenna Shirley, the daughter of Shirley and Fred Schilbe was baptized at Trinity Anglican Church, by the Rector, the Rev. Aubrey Bell. Aunts and uncles were there as well as cousins and small brother and sister. Jake was so charmed by the Christmas Creche in the Baptistry he thought he could take the cow home.! All four grandparents were beaming as this beautiful child was welcom- ed into the Christian faith. They are Earl and Frances Schilbe and church warden Alice and Joe Brandon. The Brandons now have 10 grandchildren and very obviously dote on every one of them. On Christmas Day, Colleen and Wayne Hopkins will bring& their baby daughter, Megan Colleen to be baptized in Colleen's family church. They have come from Sur- rey, B.C. to spend Christmas with their parents, Lorna and Mert Merner. Melanie, Michelle and Matthew, have come with their parents and the Merner's daughter, Dawn, and their son Lorne and his wife Barb and family will be home for Christmas from London. 'I'll be home for Christmas," is in the hearts of many this year. Debbie and Rob Siertsema, will be here from Toronto and Ottawa, Karen and Carl Humphries will be with their mothers Ruby Fitzsimons and June Humphries. Bob Rogers home with Louise and Bob and his sisters. Rob Cluff is coming too, for Christmas with Joan and Bob and Tara. The Joe Brandons are expecting Gary, Patti, Mark, Cerenia and Colleen, their son and his Lions Turkey Bingo results BAYFIELD - On December 14, the Lions Club here held their annual turkey bingo.

Some beautiful parties this week, open house at the new facility of the Little Inn. Gayle and Pat really know how to present a festive occasion. Gorgeous food, a beautiful Christmas tree and a tour of the most at- tractive and imaginative building. There is a spacious and comfortable lounge, with balconies surrounding it from which are the adjoining bedrooms, each with ultra modern baths, and an inviting sitting room, very tastefully furnished, even fireplaces. We can all be proud of the Little Inn and the party was great fun. 40th Anniversary Party Sarah and Richard Dick were completely surprized, when they arrived at Carol and Tom Penhale's home, to find about 40 of their clone; 'friends gathered together to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary. The staff of the Village Guild all shared in the preparation of the bountiful feast provid- ed and it was down from the deep affection of those who have worked for the Dicks, now and over the years. Guests were there from London, Goderich and Hensall as well as many from Bayfield. Sarah and Richard were quite overcome with the joyous occasion and were most pro- fuse in their thanks to each and every one in- volved. Sarah says they have been 40 wonderful years and they certainly are pro- of that love can last forever. Most important, everyone should go to church over Christmas, if you are visiting in town or haven't yet affiliated yourself with one of the two churches open for Christmas.
