(And that reminds minds us of an
cident in our ',childhood.A small
city boy stood in awe and wonder
as our -mother -milked the cow.
'Is that where you get your
milk?" he asked, On being in-
formed that it was, he stated that
they got theirs from the milkman.
Our parent tried to explain that
it came from the cow in the be-
ginning but he was adamant:
"Ours comes from the milkman!"
Later, we learned from his mother
thatabsolutely d to drink

h
t
any more milk in Bayfield 'use
beta
it came from a cow instead of the
milkman) .
And then in the "good old days"
man and beast were rugged and
with teams of horses the roads
were broken for supplies, or man
walked in case' of an emergency.
Today everything is mechanized
and after last week's experience'
most ratepayers in Bayfield feel
that it is ltigh time the Village
Fathers purchased a good tractor
to which a be
attached in winter toh keepdour
streets' passable, and a mower in
summer to keep the weeds cut. In
the long run it might not 'cost
any more than it does now in
theft wnship linesoandi'nconcessions
l
have been done.
It isn't so many years ago that
.sidewalks in Bayfield were plough-
ed out quite effectively with a
woodenplough weighted with
stones and drawn by a horse. And
if this method-. is no longer avail-
able, then we should certanily
have mechanical facilities at hand;,
and not have our citizens wading
through snow up to their waists
in spots. Its enough to cause heart
failure!
The following are some of the
ways in which the storm upset
the even tenor of lite in Bayfield:
Thomas Poston, we regret to
report is ill in bed and required
the doctor's attention which was
not available until Saturday.
• Miss A. M. Stirling planned to
go to Pbrt Elgin the middle of
the week owing to the fact that
her brother-in-law, Hugh Mc-
Laren, was to undergo surgery in
Owen Sound General and Marine
Hospital but was not able to leave
until Saturday.

service was to have been held in,
Trinity Church but owing to the
drifts this was impossible. How-
ever, it was not cancelled. Twelve
women gathered at the home of
Mrs. R. H. F. Gairdner and held
the service. It was under , the
leadership of Mrs, Gairdner, Mrs.
C. W. Brown and Miss A. M. Stir-
ling (substituting for Mrs. G.
Westlake Who was unable to get
out), Mrs. C. W. Brown presided,
at the piano, and prayers were of-
fered by Mrs. B. Menerey,
W. Towett, and Mrs. R. J. Larson.
Mrs. E. Carew -Jones gave a

On Saturday, Stuart Sturgeon,'
who had a few days leave of ob-
sence from Westminster Hospital,
London, and gone on Friday with
his wife, to their home in Preston,
arrived with Mrs. Sturgeon, his
brother Gerald and Russel Noyes
to spend the weekend. Being un-
able to walk,- Stuart wag taken
from Main Street to the home of
his parents, Mr, ,and Mrs. E. J.
Sturgeon, on a tractor, by Donnie
on Sunday after having spent a
week with her sister-in-law, Mrs,
J. Ciuff. They accompanied Mr.
and Mrs. F. J. Arkell who motor-
ed to London with their on Ken,
who was home for the week.
Little . Miss Ellen Lindsay, dau-
ghter of Mr. and Mrs. John Lind-
say, and Master Lloyd Francis,
son of Mr, and Mrs. Reginald
Francis, who each underwent ton-
silectomy operations in Clinton
Public Hospital on Tuesday re-
turned to their respective, homes
on Wednesday to. recuperate.
Perhaps owing to the condition
of the roads, the play, "Mama's'
Baby Boy.," presented edb

hall, Bayfield, was not well at-
tended. It was under the auspices
of the Bayfield Agricultural So-
ciety and those - who were not

of entertainment in the very fine
playing, of all in this group.
' Trinity Church Guild
The regular meeting of Trinity
Church Guild was held at the
home of Mrs. R. J. Larson on
Tuesday evening with an attend-
ance of 12. The, president, Mrs.
Lloyd Scotehiiier, conducted the
opening exercises; Mrs,' William
Parker gave the secretary's re-
port and Mrs. A. M. Bassett the
statement of the treasurer, The
evening was spent in piecing a
quilt.
Following the closing prayers
Mrs. Larson served , refreshments.
Carl Pughes and friend; of Royal
Oak, Mich., were at the family
cottage on Sunday.
And Mrs. Douglas Gemeinhardt
who underwent surgery in Alex-
andra and Marine Hospital, Gode-
rich, the first of last week, could-
n't come home at the end of the
week as the road to their house
was blocked with snow.
But after all, Bayfield wasn't
hit so badly as some spots! We
did have hydro,, telephone and mail
service. The milkman delivered on
Main Street only. The bakers and
butchers did their best. But those
residents who for reason -of age or
infirmity didn't feel up to bucking
the drifts, depended on kind
neighbours or did without. And
then Old Sol came out on Sunday
and Monday, and it was cheering
to see those drifts sinking. March
isn't over yet—but Spring is just
around the corner!
