Bride -elect Honoured Miss Betty Lou Larson enter- tained about 25 women and girls on Tuesday evening at the home of her aunt, Mrs. E. A. Featherston, in honour of Miss Janet MacLeod, a bride -elect of next week. Court whist was enjoyed during the evening. Mrs. Lloyd Scotchmer Johnny moved recently from the apartment which they have oc- cupied at the home place to the farm farther south on the Bn- son Line which they purchased about 'a year ago. Thus, the prop- erty has come ;into the possession of the great-grandson of the man who pioneered it. Robert Delgaty, a Scottish im- migrant settled on Lot 15 East, Bronson Line, about 100 years ago. In 1862 he built the fine brick residence which still stands to -day. After his death, it came into the possession of his son, James Del- athy, who in turn sold it to Sam. Tractor Bought Its no sooner said than done -at least that is what it appears to bel Actually, the Village Fathers had ordered a Ford Tractor equip- ped with a hydraulic lift, one ut- ility blade for grading, one for snowploughing, and a side mower before we voiced the feeling of a good many Bayfielders in this col-' unm two weeks ago, that some such equipment should be purch- ased, but delivery has not yet been made. And we've learned that over future years they plan to -buy more equipment, gradually, to take care of village needs—if they are retained in office. This is a move in the right direction and we feel that the citizens should be far-sighted enough to back up the present progressive Trustee Board one hundred per- cent. - At times in the past we've been so short-sighted that we couldn't see over .our own noses! We recall attending a meeting in the Town Hall some twenty odd years ago when two representat- ives of the Blue Water Highway Association were present to ap- peal for the sum of fifty dollars to advertise our village in the pamphlet which they proposed to issue to tourist agencies and tourists describing the Blue Wat- er route. It Was talked down, One man opined that a sign up at Mc- Ewen's corner would do more good and cost less than half that amount. The result: thousands of tourists pass through Bayfield_ every year and never know of our village except as a dot on the road map. Several times during the years we've heard of the odd vacation- ers who weren't in such a hurry to get to the. end of the' route and back, being curious enough to follow the down -town arrow. And in each case they were amazed to find such a beautiful little spot on the cliffs of Lake Huron. Some rented a cottage or stayed at an hotel for a few days. Having once discovered the place they invariab- ly returned. Perhaps it was due to this mis- taken idea of thrift so many years ago, or perhaps the opportunity was again turned down at a more recent date, we know not which, but at any rate on a coloured film, "The Land of the Blue Water", shown at Pioneer Park some two years ago, there was not one view of Bayfield—not even one of the river which travellers in Palestine inform us resembles the River Jordan. This is an edu- cational film which, apart from being used for advertising the beauties of the Blue Water High- way and the highlights of muni- cipalities and summer resorts along the route, is shown in schools all over our country. What a pity that Bayfield is not on it! (Perhaps we could still have a few shots taken and inserted in the film—better still, perhaps, a whole film on Bayfield.) But now that there is a move- ment afoot to arouse us out of our lethargy, lets play "Follow the Leader" and once more lay claim to the 50 -year-old slogan, of Bayfield—"The Prettiest Vil- lage in Ontario." At that time the cows kept the streets closely cropped and the cost was no more than the misfortune of persons who had their feet ,"cut" when they stepped into cow flaps in the dark, or the odd villager whose cabbage patch was raided by a bossy who understood the intric- acy of opening gates. But times have changed and now we must patidy. At 411 costs letus to Balour rsnede and March 25 with the president in the chair. The meeting opened with the Lord's Prayer followed by the secretary's 's and treasurer's s r c - pits o and the roll call. This month the ladies are giving $10 to the Easter Seal Fund, and. $10 to the Red Cross Society. A party isplanned for Easter Week.
