(By our Bayfield correspondent) Mrs. Andrew Toma got a start one 'evening last week ib Bailey Park wheaushe saw a small black and white aminal coming along a path towards her. She was about t1 beat, a hasty retreat to her cottage when something in the 'anim- al's movement attracted her attention and she paused to take another look. What she had thought at first glance was a skunk, turned out to be a black squirrel with a pure white tail. Perhaps we'll be having albino squirrels next. Mrs. Toma • also relates that racoons have been opening their garbage can. They are very careful to take the 1rd off and set it down quietly be- side the can. Neither Mrs. Toma nor her husband have ever heard the 'coons opening the containers, but they've taken to wiring the top on now. And so far 'Mr. and Mrs. 'Coon have not discover- ed how to undo the wire.

We immediately thought of a horse race which we had watched from the grandstand at the Bayfield Fall Fair, (yes, there was a grand- stand in those far off days). And we proceeded to describe it on paper. We sat near the front so Were one of the first to receiye the papers after they .had been mark- ed. Our eyes bulged. 72 per cent! We really must be improving! Then we opened the paper and saw written -across the first para- graph: "One whole paragraph without a leading verb," and oth- er red pencil marks down the sheets. Just then Miss ... Mac- Dougall returned to her desk and said: "Miss Woods was the only one in the class who wrote on the subject which I had in mind" and then proceeded with her criticism. And so the conceit was taken out of us. It had been the topic which had gained our higher -than -aver- age percentage in this subject! But all in all we feel that the credit for the honour accorded us goes to many persons: to the late Miss Mabel R. Clark, beloved Editor of the Clinton News - Record, who, about 30 years ago, asked us to be correspondent for Bayfield, gave us some timely in- struction, and arranged with the late F. A. Edwards to help us get started; to the many friends in this 'community and those at a distance who so kindly help us each week by giving us personals and items of interest; to our mother who gives us ,such loving nursing care, answers the tele- phone, puts up with our humours, encourages, and even prods our pen into action; and to the Clin- ton News -Record for printing our ramblings even though they some- times go off the beaten track of reporting. We do make mistakes, but gentle reader, we hope that you will overlook the occasional error, and continue to help us write ac- curately the news from home for those at a distance. If you have guests, take a trip, attend any function out of town or know of any item of interest in the community, please give us a ring on the telephone or drop us a line. We have been told that we were a bit psychic but we do not find that News comes to us through the air!
