Lucky Boy?
Don Bell.
Doesn't Know
(By our Bayfield correspondent)
Don Bell doesn't know
whether he is lucky or not.
-One day recently he was wait-
ing outside the barn for his
pony to finish feeding before
he went for a ride, A stone
had become lodged in his shoe
and he sat clown to extricate
it.
He could hardly believe his
eyes there, shining on the
ground in front of him, was a
wedding ring! It was clean
and looked as if it were new.
There was no mud around the
forget-me-nots engraced on it,
so Don concludes that jt
hadn't been there very long.
Now the questions which are
puzzling the Bell family are:
To whom does it belong? And
how did it come to be lost
beside their barn?

Lions Club Well Known To Bayheld
Youngsters, Impromptu Essay Shows
(By our Bay/101d correspondent) were splendid. There were several
statements in similar vein to the
following quotations: "The Lions
Club has done so many things for
us we should appreciate it";
"There are some people who don't
realize what good the Lions Club
is; I don't believe we could get
along without it."
Among the papers submitted by
the pupils, the teacher was sur-
prised to find that one boy in
Grade 7 had the original idea of
writing it in a .kind of verse in-
stead of prose. It rens as follows:
Members of the Bayfield Lions
Club should be quite '-encouraged
To continue their good work since,
evidently, it is appreciated by the
coming generation in the village.
Recently, the school teacher, de-
siring a spontaneous, free expres-
sion, assigned a composition to
Grades 7 and 8 on the subject,
"The Bayfield Lions Club." No
forewarning was given and it was
written in school within a limited
time.
The compositions in general
The Bayfie d Lions Club •
The Bayfield Lions Club is the very best in the land,
As President John Scotchmer leads it with n stroke of his hand.
Secretary Reg Francis tries with all his might
To put down everything he is supposed to write.
Treasurer Les Elliott looks after the money with care,
And not a penny slips away without his being aware.
They have signs -up as you come into town,
So that you will always know your way around,
•
It tells you where the meetings are held,
At the Ritz Hotel and here's how its spelled,
II-0-T-E-L—where the meals are swell.
They are held every second ,Tuesday at seven o'clock,
And that's when the town begins to rock.
For this town they have done quite a bit, •
As giving supports to a prippled girl and making her fit.
They have' put life preservers along the beach to make it safe,
Which can't even be washed away by a tidal wave.
They have also put up containers to keep the beach clean,,
So that not the tiniest paper can ever be seen.
They have built an arena for use to skate in,
Even thqugh the ice is sometimes thin.
The summer carnival is quite an affair, ,
And all the fears around are usually there,
On Christmas Eve they take baskets to sick ones shut-in,
And then before leavjng sing a parting hymn.. s
They have helped out people in every other need,
And in charity giving always take the lead,
In the future' they., hope. to become
The finest club evet was known."

4,858 persons were treated for
cancer in 1953 as compared with
2,734 ten years earlier. This is an
irxrease of 77 per cent. Each year
more people are applying for
treatment with cancer.in its early
sages when chances for a cure is
much greater. s _

Cancer Society figures show
that 37 per cent -of all cancer
deaths in females under the age
of 75 years are due to cancers in
sites where they are readily acces-
sible and respond 'to treatment,
Earlydetection and adequate
treatment can prevent many of
these deaths.

°thing We' Can Do?
(By our Bayfleld Correspondent)
In the Globe and Mail, Wednesday, March 23, Underthe
column 'Person to Person", a, letter, written by a mother of five
children was published. It was typical of dozens received' by'
Lotta DeinPsey each week. The following excerpts are from iti
My husband and I HS -felted to CBC midweek news round -up.
Wednesday evening and were appalled ,at the casual attitude of -
the broadcaster from Washingt9n ,on the hideous and all -to -close
subject' of atomic radiation activity."
,"One feels that human life in the 20th century shonld have
left cave -dwelling far behind, but we seem to have come full
circle now."
is really astonishing that the friends 1 have talked to, with
few exceptions, have a totally negative attitude towards being.
•blown up—or perhaps quietly radiated M their beds.
The rejoinder is invariably, Well, there's nothing we • can do
about it—we shall all be blown to bits anyway'."
Is there nothing we can do about it? ,Cannot we be prepared?
It's high time the Department of Education took into consideraticni
a ''cave" or shelter for children in approving plans for building
schools in this age! What better spot than a good reinforced
basement ender the school?
And while on the subject of a basement for the new 'achool,
we heard more comments from readers. A good basement
would only need an extra excavation of three feet and the extra.
Cost of labour and cement, it was pointed out to us. And that
Person, knew from experience that floors were warmer with a
basement than without. (We say a loud "Amen" to that. And
as for forced, air-conditioned heating, it definitely does not heat
. the floor. Our own experience has been that the theory of this
air, continually in motion, is perfect but that it does not work
out so well. It is difficult to force heat against a Wind. When
a strong nor'east or east wind is blowing, the room without a.
basement is cold.) '
Another reader told of the comfort of a basement in the
New Dundee School which was built M 1928. It was designed.
with a wide stairway to the basement. The pupils stored their
sports equipment—hockey sticks,bats, balls, etc.,—down there, ,
Their wet mitts, overshoes, clothing, etc.,, were hung down there
to dry. And on stormy or wet days, it proved to be a blessing..
The pupils could go down there to play under the supervision of-.
a teacher. Otherwise, they'd have had to sit quietly in their -
seats and read during recess as there was no recreation room, .
(That warm dry basement has since , been used for an extra,
classroom). What teacher is going to allow pupils to play
around and scuff expensive furniture and equipment in the class --
room?
Yes, despite the trend of fashion in school architecture to --
day, there is a very strong feeling in Bayfield that there should_
be a basement in the new schoel. It would repay itself many'
times, over the years, in comfort and convenience alone. The
trustees, at a later date, plan a people's meeting to give the.
ratepayers an opportunity to express their views on the subject..
The telephone rang! A voice said: 'What's all this about
building a two -roomed school in Bayfield? 'A two -roomed school!
A two -roomed school; is all I hear and read! "Isn't there going
to be a •teachers' room?"
Well, really, we. hadn't thought about it. We'd seen the.
pictures of two new schools the night of the meeting. They each:
had a teachers' room' so we just assumed that there would be one
in ours.
'I can tell you from experience that a teachers' room ts.
essential for good administration," the voice continued. "I've
taught in schools without and with a teachers' room. NO one
knows what it means to a teacher to -have a moment of privacy—
somewhere to take a parent or visitor who calls at the school; a
place to take a sick pupil; or to have a private talk with a
student, etc." And. by the time that the receiver was hung up,
we really pitied those who had taught in Bayfield over a century
without a teachers' room.
Reminiscing
And then we began thinking about our first years in the old
school. There was no basement then. The old . wood -burning'
furnace was set in a hole in the earth under the middle of the
school, It was reached by a trap door in front of the teacher's
desk (Mrs. James Ferguson was teacher then). The caretaker
, (Thomas Sanderson) filled the furnace before he left at nine o'clock
and came back at noon to stoke again. And on very cold days
the teacher disappeared down the trap door to throw in an extra
chunk or two. Or if it were cold upstairs, the principal sent
one of the senior boys down to add fuel to the fire.
And was the floor cold! In those days we didn't wear slacks.
or snowpants. We were encased in long woollen underwear over
bloomers, heavy black woollen stockings, high button or lace
shoes, overstockings and rubbers or overshoes. Over our serge
or other heavy woollen dresses, we wore what were known as
Dutch pinafores made of cotton print which kept in the body
heat. But from the floor the cold started to creep up and it
kept going until one's legs were numb to the knees.
Most of the girls stood around the hot air register at
recess—one couldn't stand on it! The hardwood fire made it a,
regular inferno, and on occasions even' the dome of the furnace
could be seen red hot,
Lucky was the girl who got there first and got her back up
against the hot air pipe to the upstairs room!
On stormy or wet days, some of the children played "pussy -
in -the -corner" in the cloak room or pushed each other around in
the hall. Sometimes the teacher had to come out and "settle"'
boys who started a fight in the porch.
Recess over, we went back to our seat to have the half -
thawed -out shins become colder and colder until the chills ran
up our back. That was one winter. Next year we coaxed to sit
on one of the original handmade, spindle -backed benches at the
extra desk by the hot air pipe. Even there, the floor wasn't
too warm!
