Stakes Planted Off Lake Huron's
Shore, `Port Of Plan To 'Save Beach
' (By our. Bayfield correspondent) Association voted to have this
Preliminarysteps to, build up a
beach belowPioneer Park and
adjacent. lakefront properties
were commenced last week.
Zf you wonder about the stakes
driven into the lake eight feet
apart, about 20 feet from shore,
in a line with the bank from the
pier, extending southbelow the
' 1Vfetcalf property—they are what
are known as creepers.
The- waves wash the sand in
and the creepers break the" force
of the water So that the sand and
gravel gradually builds up. The
other stakes set in from them at
various spots, which at a casual
glance remind one of the setting
of pond nets, are called stoppers.
They prevent certain currents
washing the sand and gravel out
again.
Directors of the Pioneer Park
scheme put into operation after
H. -II. Ormond and 'Miss Jessie
Metcalf investigated the project
at Bright's Grove late this sum-
mer. They were quite convinced
that it was better than a groyne
which the Association had con-
templated building in an effort to
prevent erosion below the park.
The work is • being done under
the direction of J. H. McLellan,.
Wyoming, who initiated, the
Scheme at Bright's Grove.
When 'the first row of stakes
has done its work, another will -
be added farther out. ' The last
row, to hold' what has been built
up, will be of oak piling. Mr, Mc-
Lellan hopes to have the ,work
completed before winter. Adjacent
lakefront property owners are be-
ing asked to join in the project
of making a permanent wide
beach to prevent erosion,

(By our Bayfield correspondent)
On Tuesday of last week
when Fred Turner was Work-
ing in the garden at "West -
wind", he looked down to see
a horning ;pigeon lying ex-
hausted at his' feet. Its leg
bands read 616 Buffalo, and
A476. •
Mr. Turner thought that
the bird had been buffeted' by
high winds. IIe took it home
and put it in the hen house,
Ieaving wheat and corn for, it
to eat. On Wednesday, he
opened the windows. The
pigeon flew • outside and
around a bit but returned to
the shelter of the hen house.
On Thursday morning his
son Grant suggested that he
take the pigeon outside in his
hands. Mr. Turner did o. It
seemed a bit' cross atfirst,
pecked at him a bit, and then
as he held it up, it spread -its
wings and took off in a
straight line south.
Had Mr. Turner thought
that if was strong enough to
continue its flight, he would
have put his name and ad-
dress under one of the leg
bands.
