INTERESTING HAPPENINGS IN ONTARIO'S PRETTIEST
Last Wednesday evening, som(
of the Lions Club executive,
several directors of the Fair
Board and members of Council
met in the Municipal Building.
The purpose of the meeting,
called by the Lions Club was to
discuss numerous aspects of uses
for the Agricultural Grounds.
The Lions have come up with
ideas for a project, and Mr.
Lloyd Westlake, spokesman for
the Lions Club stated that the
club wanted to do something
to benefit the Village and sur-
rounding townships. The propos-
al included a pony track, tenn-
is court, soccer and ball fields
and possibly in the long range,
a swimming pool.
The Agricultural Society own
this property, with the except-
ion of two village streets which
run through it and in order for
any permission to be granted
to the municipality for the leas-
ing of this property, the direct-
ors of the Fair Board must take
it before their people first.
Should approval be granted;
and the Council approve it (that
is the leasing of the grounds
for 20 years and assuming resp-
onsibility), then the Lions Club
would be able to proceed with
their project.
The October meeting of the
Trinity Church Ladies Guild

With winter fast approaching
thoughts of skating come to
mind; and getting ready to be
"on ice" as soon as it is avail-
able. There may be a delay
this year due to some difficult-
ies, but we hope they will be
straightened out soon so the rink
will be functioning sometime
in November. Meanwhile regis-
tration must be held so we can
make arrangements and sort
out our groups. For those who
missed registering last Saturday,

we are holding another regist-
ration this Saturday, October
20, at the arena from 10:30 to
12 noon. Also in conjunction
with registration we are having
a skate exchange and sale.
Anyone who has figure skates
in good condition may bring
them. Be sure to put a piece
of paper inside one of the boots
with your name, telephone
number, size of the skates and
asking price (in case you can't
find a pair to exchange).
Because of inquiries we are
going to try to form a group of
older skaters who want to skate
"just for fun" one night a week.
So if you are a young adult or
a young at heart adult or an in
between adult and would like to
participate in good healthy exer-
cise and even learn a few fund-
amentals of skating, call 565-
2145, and leave your name
and telephone number. If enougl
respond to form a reasonable
sized group, we'll call you as
soon as we are assured of the
night and the time.
There is a need for adults
who are interested in skating
to act as directors or executive
of the Figure Skating Club. All
you need is an honest -to -good-
ness lively interest in helping
to promote good skating for the
children. Many hands make light
work, so please consider our
plea even though you do not
have a child in the club.
Power was disrupted for nearly
two and a half hours on Satur-
day evening when a small torn-
ado ripped through the Village
of Bayfield, leaving behind it
an area of destruction. Hardest
hit was the Village Market,
which sustained considerable
damage when a limb from a
maple tree on Mrs. Gairdner's
property, fell on the roof of the
store, knocked out bricks and
cracked the side wall of the
building. A new European car
recently purchased by Mr. A.
Couper on Howard Street, West
had the front end badly damag-
ed when a huge limb from a
maple tree carne crashing down
on it. Next door at the home
of Norman F. Cooper, two
limbs off maple trees narrowly
missed their parked car; up-
rooted lilac bushes and splinter-
ed a wooden fence into kindling
wood.
As the tornado wended it's
way across Clan Gregor Square,
taking with it shingles from the
Cooper's roof and twisting off
several smaller limbs from
trees in the park, it went up
Keith Crescent and ripped the
tops off three lovely old beech
trees; circled around the corner
and completely demolished a
stately old beech tree narrowly
missing the new home of Mr.
and Mrs. Scott.
On Delevan Street, several
trees were uprooted and toppled
over into the neighbouring
yard of Mr. Renouf Johns, caus-
ing considerable damage to the
landscaping and shrubbery.
Along with shingles from a
barn roof, T.V. aerials twisted
and blown down; several smaller
trees and numerous branches
it seemed to blow itself out at
the east edge of the village.
Many residents were frightened;
and with no hydro, they really
didn't realize what was actually
happening. Everyone was out in
full force on Sunday to view
the damage and were grateful
that no one had lost their life
of their home.
Mr. and Mrs. Ray Robinson,
Scott and Randy, Goderich,
were with the lady's parents,
Mr, and Mrs. Bert Greer and
Patti, R. R. 3, Bayfield during
the weekend.
Mr. and Mrs. H. Gozzard,
London and Mr. and Mrs. A.F.
Sharon, Windsor were registered
guests at the Albion Hotel for'
the weekend.
