James Dun can to mark the 100tli anniverSary of his arrival in Stanley Township. The Rev. and Mrs. Tames Dun- can and seven children emigrated from Walkwortb, Northumberland, grigland, in 1854, to Lot 11, Bay- field Concession Road, • South, which he had purchased from Dr. Henry,, W. Cole. At that time there was a log house on the 'property. In later years the pres- ent brick house mid barns were erected by Mr. Duncan and his sons. Although the farm had been purchased for the sons, one by ope they left to take up chosen profes- sions. Eventually, the farm was sold to J. Richardsbn. The Rev, James Duncan came to this part to minister to the Free Kirk of Scotland, familiarly kndwn as the old brick church, which was situated on a portion of land on Lot 10, B;C.R,, north, given by James Falconer for a church and graveyard. (To -day only a few tombstones rising from myrtle - covered graves, Mark this sacred spot between Hayfield and Varna). Their children were: William, who married Miss Jane Wells, a neigh- bour's daughter. He tanght school in Hayfield, went to Missouri and later to California; Dr. John who married Miss Alice Lukes, (He was an ear, eye, nose and throat specialist in 'Toronto and was int- erested in foUnding the Women's College Hospital); Mary Ellen who did not marry; Anna, who became the wife of the Rev. John Ross, beloved Presbyterian clergyman of Brucefield,• who was known as "The man with the Book"; Dr. James, who married a Miss Ferg- uson, and practiced medicine in Chatham for many years; Rachael, who married A. M. Campbell, V.S., of the Bronson Line; Jane, who remained single; Georgiana, who died in infancy; and Edward, a lawyer in Toronto who passed away within recent years M his 91st year, survived by his wife, formerly Miss Loretta Flynn. The Rev. James Duncan labour- ed faithfully as pastor to this pioneer congregation until his re- tirement, about six months before his death in 1871. His widow died in 1875 and was laid to rest be- side her husband in the little cemetery beside the church. About the turn of the century, after the church had been closed, their sons had the remains of their loved ones moved to a plot, on perpetual upkeep, in Hayfield Cemetery, The idea of this family re -union was suggested by Mrs. Hugh Sneed, youngest daughter of Wil- liam Duncan and Jane Wells. The moving .spirit of the affair was Mrs. A. H. Grace, daughter of the Rev. John Ross and Anna Dun- can, who with her husband had served as a missionary in India. And to Lewis Duncan, QC, eld- est son of Dr. John Duncan, To- ronto, goes the credit for organiz- ing it so splendidly. A visit was made to the farm where the Duncan family had liv- ed and the Wells farm next door where Mrs. William Duncan had lived. They were made welcome to roam about and to climb up- stairs.

Pioneer Park Improvements Planned Review Year; Will Buy Benches (Ry OUT Bayfield correspondent) The .Annual Meeting of the Hay- field Pioneer Park Association was held at the home of Miss Lucy R. Woods on Friday evening, August 13. The secretary's report was given by James P. Ferguson and the auditor'S statement was read by Miss Jessie Metcalf. The receipts from the rummage sale this year amounted to $172. It was pointed out that with the exception of one night, the collections at Pioneer Park had been below last year, although the film rentals had been higher. In her remarks, president Miss Woods pointed out that part of a drainage scheme had been install- ed, but that the high water level still presented a problem in pre- vention of erosion at the base of the cliff. She referred to Thomas Pryde's appeal, on the floor of the Provincial legislature, for support of this small park, linanced thro- ugh the Association, as heartening. Miss Woods cited the instance of a stranger turning off the high- way to see what Hayfield was like, being so delighted with the dis- covery of "the field with seats by the lake" that he planned to re- turn here. It was decided to proceed with the levelling of the grounds. J. M. Stewart and H. H, Ormond were named to look over the property and make reccommendations. It was suggested that in an effort to prevent wave action at the base of the cliff, small groy- nes, if not too expensive, might be installed. John Rankin, H. EL Or- mond and Miss Jessie Metcalf were appointed to look into the matter. Appreciation of the great con- tribution to the park and com- munity spirit made by G. M. Gal- braith and Alan Galbraith M pro- jecting films and supplying music, and to Charles Scotchmer and his Committee of the Lions Club for projecting N. F. B. releases was voieed; also to Mrs. R. G, Hunter for taking charge of the Festival in 1953; to those who organized and all who helped with the rummage sale or in any way con- tributed to the Park project. The three retiring directors this year were Miss Jessie Metcalf, Mrs. C. W. Brown, and Charles Scotchmer. Miss Metcalf and 1VIrs. Brown were re-elected and Alf. Scotchmer, Jr. elected to the board for a term of three years. Other directors and officers are Charles Kanter, 1VIrs, W. M. Pur- ees, G. M. Galbraith, Miss Lucy R. Woods, president; J. M. Stew- art, vice-president; James P. Fer- guson, secretary; Miss J. L. -Met- calf, treasurer. The Hoard of Directors decided to order six more park benches. The Pioneer Park Association is a 'chartered non-profit organiz- ation formed to purchase and dev- elop Pioneer Park. All monies realized from benefits, donations and memberships are used to im- prove and keep this spot on Lake Huron open to the public.

In the 10 -week period, the average gain on crushed pellet feed ranged from one-fourth to nearly one-half pound per chic- ken greater than on mash.
