second look at plan
(by Milvena Erickson)
A special meeting of Bayfield
council was held Thursday
evening November 29, to go ov-
er certain aspects of the Offic-
ial Plan. They heard a request
from Huron Pines Realty, Mr.
and Mrs. Stotesbury-Leeson;
Arnold Makins, Frank McFadden,
Reg York and Mr. and Mrs.
Robert Turner to re -zone their
properties from residential to
Highway commercial.
The council also drew up a
by-law for establishing a system
for the collection, removal and
disposal of garbage in the vill-
age. They also set Saturday,
December 15, at 2 p.m., for
a public meeting in the old Tows
hall to go over the Official Plan
for the village.
At the regular meeting of
council on Monday evening,
December 3, Dick Peever app-
roached Council with a request
that Blue Anchor be allowed to
erect a wail of broken cement
pieces along the north side of
the Bayfield River to stop erosion,
Council agreed to contact their
solicitor for legal advice on the
When is a turnip not a turnip?
When it's a rutabaga, say food
specialists at the Ontario Food
Council, Ministry of Agriculture
and Food. They explain that the
change caste as the final step
in the overall quality improve-
ment of the vegetable.
For many years in Ontario,
the Swede turnip was planted
and grew well. Ilowever, the
color was not evenly distributed
and the flavor was inconsistent.
After years of research, the
Laurentian variety a strain with
a milder, sweeter flavor and fin-
er texture --was developed.
Then, the Rutabaga Council,
the promotional arm of the
turnip industry, agreed that a
name change should be part of
the flavor change. Bence the
name rutabaga.
Rutabaga is a versatile veget-
able. Try it raw as snack stix;
use it with your favorite dip;
grate it raw into pancake batter,
French fry it; mash it; niix it
with potato, or use as a substit-
ute for potatoes,
matter. Mr. Peever also asked
for a decision on two proposed
marine enterprise for the north
side of the Bayfield River and
was advised that no committ-
ment would be made by council
until ownership of the Bayfield
River Flats had been resolved.
A letter was read from the
Ministry of Health, Dr. Richard
Potter, regarding low cost dent-
ure service through the Ontario
Dental Association. A letter was
also read from the Ministry of
industry and Tourism regarding
the energy question with suggest-
ions in respect to energy waste.
Council agreed to support the
policy set down for the conserv-
ation of energy, and agreed not
to use Municipal Christmas street
lighting decorations until the
week prior to Christmas.
As requested by council, the
reeve contacted the Department
of Public Works while in London
regarding the deteriorating cond-
ition of the South Pier and rep-
orted their representative would
be lathe district in the near
future to inspect the pier. The
reeve also informed council that
he had declared himself as a
candidate for County Warden
for 197.1.
Council passed a resolution to
request the lluron County Board
of Education to set the date of
payment for school taxes on
June 30 and December 15, for
1974, for the Village of Bayfield,
also passed a by-law for establ-
ishing a system for the collect-
ion, removal and disposal of
waste in the Village of Bayfield.
In other business, council
instructed the clerk to write a
second letter to Mrs. C. Lynn
on Hill Terrace to remove the
two concrete urns in front of her
property as they constitute a
public .traffic hazard; also to
write to the Liquor Control
Board for a reply as to what
they found fiont their survey fol-
lowing a request for a liquor
store, and to inquire regarding
a combination store. They also

Grant for Bayfield senior citizen
The Bayfield Senior Citizens'
Club learned last Tuesday that
they have received a $6, '725
New horizons grant from the
Federal government to start a
drop -in -centre in the Village.
Clair Merner, president of the
Club, said Tuesday night that
the money will be used to up-
date the wood heating system in
the old Town hall in the Village
enabling the Village's senior
citizens to have a place to play
cards, shuffleboard and stake
crafts.
Metrics
co •i
Teachers from Stephen Cent-
ral School, McCurdy School,
Exeter Public School, Clinton
School, t'shorne School, Huron
Centennial School stet at
Stephen Central School to learn
about the metric system. The
professional development day
workshop was led by Robert
S*eplienson, program consult-
ant in mathematics fot the Min-
istry of Education. Mr. Steph-
enson was asisted by Miss
Nancy Claus, Miss Eileen Camp-
bell, Ken Cooper and Jirn Mc-
Callum, resource teachers for
the Middlesex County Board of
Education.
The teachers found their met-
ric height and weight, made
colourful metric sticks, estimat-
ed the weights of common house-
hold materials, took metric
temperatures, and generally dis-
cogered the ease with which one
could convert to metric thinking.
Little known metric facts were
discovered: Lois Ottewell was
179 centimetres tall. Bob
Laye's temperature was 37 deg-
rees Celsius (normal). Glenda
Wagner wore a 19 centimeter
shoe. Larry Black weighted nearl,
105 kilograms. John Siertsema
drive 40 kilometres to get from
his horse to Stephen School.
Bill Millson can plow 1.5 hect-
ares per hour with his 5 furrow
.10 centimetre bottom plow.
Tlie•one ltundred and twenty
teachers devoured 33 kilograms
of donuts and drank 80 litres of
coffee. -

Azoles s col
inter
For several weeks of color to
combat winter gloom look to
the azalea with its white, pink
lavender or red blooms and
contrasting dark green foliage.
If purchased in full bloom
from a florist, azaleas will
flower for several weeks in an
east window, at a temperature
between 60 and 65 degrees at
night and 70 to 75 degrees dur-
ing the day. Azaleas need to be
watered daily and the humidity
should be above 4010. Always
remove any excess water from
the saucer or pan under the pot.
It's also a good idea to stand
the plant in water for a half
an hour once a weeks.
When the blooms have gone,
the plant may be carried over
to the next growing season if it
is repotted in a mixture contain-'
ing mostly acid peat and a little
soil, but no alkaline sand. In
the spring, after the danger of
frost is over, put the plant still
in the pot, into an acid soil or
peat outdoors.
With proper care, your winter
azalea should live to bloom a
second winter.
"We're going to use this mon-
ey as well to put in inside toil-
ets." Mr. Merner said,
The 45 member club also
hopes to install a floor shuffle-
board and buy a piano and a
sewing coaching, but Mr. Mern-
er said he didn't know how far
the stoney would go.
The New horizons program
was set up last year by the Fed-
eral government and is run by
the department of health and
welfare. The program gives
specific aid to senior citizens
groups and each project must
be planned and carried out by a
group of ten or more senior
citizens who take responsibility
for the project.
Mr. Merner said that the
gaup had been given permission
tft use the old town hall by the
Bayfield Council and he said
they would not interfere with the
Bayfield Bluebird Society who
received a similar grant of
$5, 000 last October to build
Bluebird boxes.
The Bluebird Society will
use the basement of the building
and the senior citizens will
use the main floor.
Another grant was awarded to
the Brussels Lawn Bowling Club
to help establish a lawn bowling
club for senior citizens in that
area.
