Rain Welcome The rain of the past Saturday was a Godaitend for already pas- tures were getting dry, Beans were at a stand still, as were oth• er hoe erops. The past few days have already made a change in the crops, and farmers can expect fav - able return. Comments The Bluewater highway No. 21 is receiving its last and final touch from Bayfield to St. Joseph, and when completed we boast to say it will perhaps be the most beautiful in the province. Nature has giv- en much to beautify this highway along Lake Huron, at some points less than 20 rods from the water. There is much to attract the motorist to the northern part, with modern homes and modern apliances to make life comfortable. In the fields farmers are equipped with latest farm power available to ease their work and make it profitable. There are also sceneries such as woodland well kept and clean. free from scrubs and dead falls, Also enroute are beautiful churches, schools, and public buildings for the welfare of the settlers. Summer resorts along the way, such as Bayfield ,attract atten- tion of the motorists. Bayfield came into being in 1828, and it's name was given by an English en- gineer named Bayfield. He came to Canada to select land and found a town, and decided that the spot was beautiful with its water stream as a dividing line. It is quite noticeable that all motorists travel slow along the highway, to take in all the scen- eries. Citizens are proud of this highway in the County of Huron, which ranks almost tops in the province of Ontario. Perhaps it was the expectations of this new highway that encour- aged so many people from all parts of the country to purchase land along the lake -front to build cottages on. The clear blue water from the lake is ideal for bathing, and the wide beach is ideal for relaxing in the sun. Let us wonder what our fore- fathers would say if they awoke from their slumber and apeared in our midst, to see the changes that have been made. We must not forget that out of virgin land and from their hard labour they made it possible for us to enjoy the corn- forts we have today. iittel.oltz-Hogan Roses, lilies and fern made a pretty setting on Saturday, July 11, when Cecilia Hogan, Mount Carmel, and Edward Mittelholtz.
