MILVENA ERICKSON TELLS YOU...
ALL ABOUT BAYFIELD
INTERESTING HAPPENINGS IN ONTARIO'S PRETTIEST VILLAGE
The basement of St. Andrews
United Church was beautifully
decorated with red candles and
a glittering Christmas tree for
the annual Christmas dinner for
the Bayfield Senior Citizens.
Forty-six members were present
and we regretted our two other
members, Mr. and Mrs. Andy
MacFarland were unable to at-
tend.
Special guests were Rev.
George and Mrs. Youmatoff,
Rev. James and Mrs. Reddoch
and Mrs. Pearl Cummings of
Clinton.
Grace was sung and everyone
enjoyed a wonderful buffet turk-
ey dinner served from a long
beautifully decorated centre
table. Dainty favours on the
small dining tables were made
by Milvena Erickson, for which
we thank her for her very nice
way of saying good wishes to our
Club.
While the ladies were clear-
ing the tables our president Clair
Merner welcomed all present
and expressed our thanks to the
ladies of the church who had
served the dinner.
We were all glad to see Clair
looking so well and happy foll-
owing his recent surgery.
The president asked Mr. Red-
doch for a short talk about the
Christmas season and he replied
with a short reading by Tom
Dooley entitled "Could you
spare five minutes." These five
minutes to be spent thinking
of the true meaning of Christmas
away from the Commercial and
fun loving aspects of it.
Two old favourites, Jingle
Bells and White Christmas were
sung by the group; then Mr.
Youmatoff was asked to give
a few minutes talk on Christmas.
He chose as his topic "The Love
of the Christmas Tree," and
mentioned while in the Congo
with the Armed Forces, his
station had fashioned a Christ-
mas tree from bamboo and palm
trees. It had delighted the black
children who had never before
seen one; and was a touch of
home for the Armed Forces and
their families.
Christmas carols were sung
and cards were played to end
a very happy evening. Prize
winners were Mrs. Mary Clark
and Mrs. Dorothy Merrier; George
Clark and Fred Mote; lone hands,
Mrs. Percy Weston.
Mr. and Mrs. Ray Schell were
honoured guests at a dinner
party on Saturday evening, Dec-
ember 1, at the Ponderosa
Steak House in London. It was
a very special occasion for the
Schell's who were celebrating
their fifty-ninth wedding anniv-
ersary.
Following their marriage in
Regina, Saskatchewan in 1914,
the couple resided in Toronto
and Tillsonburg. Mr. Schell
was employed by the Tri -Coun-
ty Credit Union until his retire-
ment in December 1969 when
they took up residence in
Bayfield.
The couple have five daught-
ers; Effie (Mrs. Al Freeman)
Woodstock; Janet (Mrs. Norm
Talbot) Bayfield; Phyllis (Mrs.
Ken Talbot, Parkhill;) Irene,
(Mrs. C. Jull), Burford and
Evelyn of Ayer's Cliff, Quebec,
also 26 grandchildren and 25
great- grandchildren.
Mr. and Mrs. Schell are
members of Bayfield Baptist
Church, and Mr. Schell is a
member of the Deacon's Board.
Fourteen family members
which included, Mr. and Mrs.
Ken Talbot, Parkhill; Mr. and
Mrs. Norm Talbot, Bayfield;
Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Talbot,
Deanna and Marshal, St. Thom-
as; Mr. and Mrs. Doug Talbot
and Mr. and Mrs. Les Talbot,
all of Bayfield, attended the
celebration. A lovely anniver-
sary cake was presented to the
couple and Mr. Schell gave his
wife a beautiful red rosebud
corsage.
Congratulations are extended
to this very lovely couple, with
the wish for many more happy
years together .
