SALE ENLIVENS
SAYFIELD SUMMER
By Arthur R. Ford in the London
Flee Pt.s.
One of the events of the sunznrer.
at Bayfield is a rummage sale. In
the days when Bayfield had a golf
course, there was an annual sale, ex-
cept it was'called, a white elephant
sale then—this sounded more stylish
for golf., The white elephant sale re-
venue was used to help finance the
golf club. However, the golf . club
has folded up and returned to a pas-
ture field.
Golf was started k number of
years ago by some enthusiastic sum-
mer cottager's, who felt that it was
a dull day they could -not have..a
round of golf. But golf simply does
not fit in with the lazy and somno-
lent atmosphere df''Bayfield. The
golfers from playing daily fell off
to a game a week, then they played
down to an afternoon tea at the
EVERYBODY'S
Busnvrss
by
Many men use too much ner-
vous energy in their jobs. As
a result, their work suffers
both in quality aad quantity.
And they feel completely ex-
hausted at the end of the day.
The most important rem-
edy for this trouble is to avoid
undue rush and strain.
Smooth efficiency should be
the objective in all jobs.
If you work with your
hands, don't be a banger,
slammer and yanker.'Use
only the energy each opera-
tion requires. If your job is
non -manual, try to remain re-
laxed as you work.
Emotional stresses, too,
create nervous tension. Try to
sidestep arguments, needless
worry and resentment.
Remember — "an ounce of
brain is worth a pound of
strain." So relax! Concen-
trate on improving your skill
and working methods. You'll
do more and better work!
No one can relax completely
if he is worried about his
family's financial future.df
That is why millions of Can-
aans own life insurance. It
is the most dependable way to
provide for the family's needs
under any and all circum -
lances.

brought sufficient revenue to pay as a1'ummage sale. There was
r
d tl 'r cottages or gos- traditional Hades, but no one seem-
twhe elephant t rummage sales time.It was a social affair
for a groundsman. And so the am- nearly $300 for the park. What w
bitions of Bayfield to be in line with left over was gathered up and stored
modern summer resorts failed, and for a rummage sale next year,
cows are rambling over the fair-
ways and daises are growing on the
greens. Golf and Bayfield just ' do
not synchronize.
However, it would hardly be Bay-'
.field without a rummage sale. It has
been turned to a new purpose.
. There is only one spot in Bayfield
overlooking the lake, where the
farmers and the weekend visitors
can park, hold a picnic and watch
the glories of the sunset. It was
I owned by private individuals. One
day some of the lovers of Bayfield
woke up tothe fact that this valua-
ble lake property might be sold and
Bayfield would lose one of its
charms: An agitation was started to
have the Hayfield • Council buy the
site, but the hard-headed councilors
spending
nof
value p
failed to see the
the taxpayers money on such an airy
and foolish proposition. Why a place
to look at the sunset? They are
Clan
there
1 se on sunsets. Was t
ba
Gregor Park to have a picnic, even
if the lake is not in sight. And so
there was formed' the Bayfield Pion-
eer's Park Association.
A friendly lawyer, who holidays
in Bayfield, as his contribution, ,ob-
tained. a charter .without a fee.
Money'was borrowed and the park
purchased. To meet the debt and
keep up the park costs money and
this is not easy to raise in Bayfield.
And so as a source of revenue the
association took over the old white
le Kant and continued the rum-
59
e p
mage sale.
All the attics were searched for
forgotten and discarded relics of
earlier days and old clothes were
put on sale at the rummage sale m
the Town hall, Cards were sent in
the wintertime to cottagers not to
forget the rummage sale. London
and Detroit summer visitors brought
things from home. Detroiters were
responsible for some men's suits,
which were a little out of date but
had not been caught by the moths.
These suits at $10, each sold fast to
the villagers, and were to be seen in
all their glory at the twelfth of July
parade the Monday following the
sale.
When the doors of the Town hall
were opened sharp at seven o'clock,
the crowd flocking in found well
known summer residents as well as
a number of villagers, in charge of
the booths. A London business man
had been commandeered as cashier,
A Toronto professor was in charge
of the men's clothing booth, and
proved an alert and efficient sales-
man. He wondered whether he had
missed his calling.
There was everything that you
could imagine at the rummage sale.
The piece de resistance was a suit
of red woolen underwear—some-
thing I imagined had disappeared
with the Civil War. It should have
been purchased for the Museum of
the University of Western Ontario,
but it attracted the romantic eye of
a cold-blooded villager and went for
fifty cents. There were women's
dresses. They did not have the "New
Look," but they were smart and ser-
viceable for a few years. There were
shirts, there were pants—some of
them a little smelly. And what a
collection of hats—some of them
must have dated back to the Victor-
ian era. However, next fall and
winter when the summer visitors
have disappeared there will be a lot
of grand new millinery in the church
choirs.
Not all the purchases were made
by the villagers. The summer visit-
ors were on hand to secure needed

LONG DISTANCE lines are busier than ever and
the number of calls is still increasing.
Though some calls are delayed, most are
put through "while you hold the line". We
are adding more cables and switchboards just
as fast as possible to make Long Distance
service even speedier.
These additions, plus unseen technical im-
provements, are part of our continuing
program to provide the best telephone service
at the lowest possible cost.
