Mr. Ferguson who is an apiarist will also have some of his goods on hand. The committee are also hopeful of getting someone to display and sell cheese. A bake sale is also slated for the afternoon.

"Super -Sewers" was the name we chose. During the meeting we discussed how to alter patterns and our leaders demonstrated how to pin patterns on and how to cut them out correctly. We ended with the 4-H Motto. Trinity Anglican Mothering Sunday was ob- Albion Hotel owners request Iiquor vote Mary, Floyd and Wayne Diemert, owners of the Albion Hotel were present at the council meeting on Tuesday evening and requested council to call a vote to change the Albion status from a dining lounge to a lounge. Council will contact the Liquor Control Board for their direction. Lloyd Hern of Exeter, Bob Webster, Varna, and Ivan McClymont, County Master of Varna, approached council on behalf of the South Huron Loyal Orange Lodge association and asked that they be permitted to hold the annual Orange Walk to commemorate the' Battle of the Boyne, in Bayfield on Saturday, July 9. Council unanimously approved their request; also approved was a request for some members of the Bayfield Fire Department to attend a week's Fire School in Goderich from April 4 to 8. Learned that Bayfield council members are invited to dinner and to attend County Council sessions on Friday, October 28, also an invitation to attend a Conservation Slide Tour '77 at Ausable-Bayfield Authority Headquarters in Exeter on Thursday, March 31; also learned that the Authority will have students available for beach clean-up, painting stairs to beach, picnic table construction, etc. In other business council sent a message of congratulations to Miss Bertie Marks, a daughter of the late Tudor Marks, who was born one hundred years ago in Bayfield on March 19, 1877. Miss Marks is presently residing in Santa Barbara, California; passed a resolution to purchase a King -Seagrave pumper; ap- proved a grant of $50 to Bayfield Agricultural Society; $800 to Bayfield Volunteer Fire Department; $25 to the Huron Ploughmen's Association; $25 to the Mentally Retarded Association of Goderich; learned that the insurance coverage for the village updated for 1977 will cost $1,946; received the final subsidy payment of $8,723.14; learned that the village portion through equalized assessment owing to the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority is $1,947.00; ,decided not to endorse a request for approval of a resolution from the city of Nanticoke to petition the Provincial Lottery to assist in costs of the extra financial burden due to winter storms. On Monday, March 21, council again met in regular session and approved a temporary solution to the removal of water off Mr. Dave Johnston Sr. property at John and Cameron Streets; received a letter from Rhea Potter in respect to the Crest design competition held early in 1976. Mrs. Potter and Bud Sturgeon's submissions had won the three prizes offered; however, nothing had been done with them and just recently a design appeared on the village envelopes that in no way resembled the winning entries. Mrs. Potter felt that it was an insult to the integrity of the judges and a great deal of motley had been wasted in sponsoring the contest. The reeve took . ex- ception to the remarks and said as far as he was concerned the village could wait two years for a Crest. Clerk Gordon Graham refused to read Mr. Sturgeon's letter and he called it "in- sulting". Council learned that the Court of Appeals of assessments will be held in Goderich on Monday, April 4, and were shocked to learn that the assessment for the County Board of Education is increased again byabout $13,000. Bayfield's assessment is now over $80,000 to the Board of Education; learned that the total gross revenue from the dockage at the Bayfield Marina was $2,927 for the 1976 boating season; learned that the Clerk will be out of his office the week of April 4. served in Trinity Anglican Church on Sunday morning and through the generosity of four men of the Church, the women all had a fresh daffodil pinned to their lapels.
