Princess Margaret Resolves To Do Her Duty On Monday, after three weeks of indecision, Princess Margaret Rose decided as she puts it, "entirely alone" to put duty before love for Group Captain Peter Townsend. Her• statement in a brief note to her people read in part: subject to my renouncing my rights of succession it might have been possible for me to contract a civil marriage. But mindful of the church's teaching that Christian marriage is indissoluble, and conscious of my duty to the Commonwealth, I have to put these considerations before . any others. I have reached this decision entirely alone, and in doing so I have been strengthened by the unfailing support and devotion of Group Captain Townsend. I am deeply grateful for the concern of all those who have constantly prayed for my happiness. Margaret. Hallowe'en Party Prize Winners; Sponsored By Bayfield.

"Life In Wales" Told To Trinity Club, Bayfield Mrs. W. S. Outerbridge spoke of "Housekeeping in Wales" at the Trinity Club meeting held at the home of Mrs. J, H. Cox on Tuesday evening. She described conditions during the two years that she spent in Cardiff.. She pointed out that Britain had had food rationing for a long time, and at that time It was still In effect. She told of the queues at the various little shops. In Cardiff, there were no super- markets, but many small shops. She touched on the exports of the country and of the television pro- grams. Now there are 'commer- cials, but previously there were very excellent programs without advertising. The British housewife puts more stress, on culture than in° the possession of various house- hold gadgets. Often in Cardiff, theatre productions were tried out and thus for about 50 cents one could' attend splendid plays which later canoe to New York. The lack of refrigeration and central heating is surprising to an American or a Canadian. Mrs. Outerbridge spoke of the beautiful churches and cathedrals and the beauty of Great Britain as a Whole. She is an excellent speak- er, interspersing the serious with bits of humour, and she made the scene very real to her listeners., The president, Mrs. Rosa Middle - ton, opened the devotional period based on the theme, "Friendship". Mrs. LeRoy Poth read the Scrip- ture. :Mrs: R. Fitzsimonsoffered prayer. During the business ses- sion plans were made for the an- nual .

Hovey, volunteered for church cleaning Mrs. R. Middleton . con - dueled two amusing contests— observation puzzle, 23 items on a table — and gum relay race, in which those teamed up wore gar- den gloves. The hostess served re- freshments to the 20 persons present.

Mr. and Mrs. Oddieifson plan to con- vert it into a summer residence. The store was built in 1901 "by the late James Fowlie who set his daughters, Frances and Ina (the late Mrs. J. Worsen) up in busi- ness. They operated a small groc- ery downstairs and ice-cream par- lor. upstairs, The ice-cream was the good old-fashioned kind made with hand -operated freezers, With the advent of the manufactured ice-cream being brought to the village, the Fowiies• stopped mak- ing aking it themselves and confined their business to groceries. Their store also housed the Bay field Public Library from 1922-48 during which time Mlss• Frances Fowlie was a most efficient lib- rarian, ably assisted by her sister, Miss Ethel Fowlie. Owing to the Ill -health, of Miss Ethel Fowlie, the store was closed two years ago. 0--- C.
