known as Clinton. Dr. Dunlop, bet-
ter known. as, "Tiger" Dunlop, of
Goderich, was colonel of the regi-
ment. At that time th'e London
Tread from ,Clintan to. Brucefield
had been chcrpped out, but not
cleared as the logs were lying
where they, had fallen. %
Bayfleld's first school teacher
was Edward Templeton, whose
father was an early settler ,on the
Huron Road, now kneels as, High-
way No. 8. He also had the die-,
tinction of being the. first teacher
in„ the whole: Township of Stanley.
The school was a log building er-
ected on the river bank in '1836.
The early settlers, or perhaps Baron
de Foile, must have been education
minded, as this •witis' very early in
the history of the little settlement
to have a sehool. The first log
house was only erected in 1833. Be-
fore his death in 1836, the Baron
had set aside or given •to the set-
tlement two of his lots "for school
purposes," ,end the settlers built
the school of cedar logs. This
school was later altered and im-
proved, then turned into a resi-
dence, as we learn that in 1879 It
was being used as a residence by
Henry McCann. '--

Cemmonien,tion wan very slow in
those days and1 it yr,AF* -1830, before
the lan• was purchased by the
Baron whose wish it was that river
and town should bear the name: of
the engineer who returned to Eng-
land after selecting the land and,
as far as is known, never again
visited the site of the proposed
town.
Baron de Folio next selected E.
C. Taylor, an early settler and one
of the first merchants in ,Goderiels,
to act es his agent in Canada and,
the recently purchased land )wsts
surveyed into town lots in 1832.
But it Was 1533 before a mall
clearing was made on, the south
side cif- the river -and aslegehouse
erected. In this, a mans named
ISlley ran a bonding house for the
Baron's men who, were employed
in cutting, timber for the proposed
town.
It *as not until 1534 that a sec-
ond, building was erected in Bay-
fieldnand it was used as a store.
It was awned by the absentee land-
lord, Baron de Foile, and was man-
aged by a John,Morgn. However,
the spring'of 1335 witnessed a min-
iature building boom in Bayfield
when log buildings, were erected by
W. W. Connor.
Founder Dies
Unfortunately, Baron, de Foile
was never privileged to see the
town of his dreams as he died sud-
denly in 1836, shortly after con-
tracts for public buildinghad been
let to William Gray, a well known
contractor of Guelph at that time.
The baron's death delayed develop-
ment and for some time the timber
which had been cut for the build-
ings was left lying on the river
bank.
The' market square in BZayfield
had been chopped out in 1835, but
at the time of the baron's death,
nearest clearings were at Goderich
and Grand, Bend. Eastward, there

First Sermon Preached
To a Rev. Mr. CObper, an Angli-
can minister,. who settled on • the
London Road near Clinton, goes
the honor of preaching the lirst
sermon in the little settlement
which he visited twice a month,
preaching always in the home of
William Wellington Connor, who
'later became the first ream of the
village.
The first whit'S child born in Bay-
field, or indeed in the whole Town-
ship of Stanley, was John, a son of
John Boulton,, who grew to mans
hood in the village and then," be-
came a resident of Petrolia.
By a special act of Parliament,
Bayfield became an incorporated
village January 10, 1876. The first
councillors were John Esson, John
Keys, J. C. McIntosh, Andrew Rut-
ledge. with W. W. Connor as reeve.
John A. Rutledge was appointed
clerk and James Thompson treas-
urer. The aeseSsor was Frederick
Wood, while John Wilson acted
as tax collector' and Robert Baxter
was the first village constable.
Although Bayfield has never
achieved •the greatness of which
Baron de Foile dreamed, time has
dealt kindly with it in many ways.
No railroad touches it, no factory
chimneys mar its skyline. It IS a
thoroughly :charming summer re-
sort and its scenery is unexcelled
anywhere on the lake.

When Roosters Stood Four
Feet High and Eggs Cost
Eight Cents for a Dozen
Gavin Green, Huron County's
noted historian from Goderich,
writes in the London Free
,Press of the days when roos-
ters 'stood four feet high and
milk cost five cents a quart
The article, repiet with Mr.
Green's homey humor, is re-
printed here.
•
I long for the .old pioneer days
when there were no ceiling prices
on our eats and drinks—not even
a board ceiling. in some of the
old log cabins.
You could buy a pound of por-
terhouse steak for 10 cents; with a
chunk of suet thrown in to help
fry it, and three pounds 01 round
steak for a quarter, with a couple
of pounds of liver thrown in for
dog and cat fodder. You could buy
a beef head for 10 cents, a shank
for 15 cents, pork chop at eight
cents per pound, and genuine pork
sausages at 10 cents per,pound; .a
-Pig's head 'cut- well back to -the
shoulders for 25 cents, four pigs'
hocks for 12 cents, lard at six
cents.' per pound; a quarter of lamb
for 50 cents, a five -pound chicken
for 25 cents—a real barnyard chick-
en that had hunted his. own living,
stolen his eats from the horses,
cows .and pigs, and roamed the
fields for bugs and grasshoppers,
and had put on flesh.
The crateded chicken of today is
not in it with the Shanghai rooster
of pioneer days. To eat a chunk of
the Shanghai would give you a
rooster tonic that would. make you
want to jump up on ,anstump and
crow, and then jump. down and
Strut around amongst the old hens
and pullets.
Somehow ,we've lost the way to
Peace,
No wonder there's reaction;
In every land there seems to be
Widespread dissatisfaction. '
It takes but two to start a quarrel,
Then more and more get in its'

And just a few dictators;

With fewer commentators.
dozen quart bottles, of ale were
yours for 90 cents. A quart of gin
cost only one dollar and you could
have a jolly night without paying
the Government any tax.
Eight Cents For Eggs
The old Shanghai rooster of pio-
neer days stood four feet high,
could eat out of a barrel, and
weighed 10 pounde. But, like the
old pioneer, he's\ gone to roost for
good.
Ducks 30 cent, geese 50 cents,
turkeys 50 to 7,5 cents. Eggs sold
at eight cents per dozen, butter
at 10 cents per pound. bread at five
cents per loaf, and potatoes at 25
cents per bag.
Turnips you got or nothing, as
they were not considered fodder
for human beings, and they were
not eaten by the pioneer unless he
had nothing else to eat.
So Much for the eats without any
ceiling; now for the thinks.
Milk was five cents per quart,
whisky $1 per gallon; an eight -gal-
lon keg of beer was $1.25, and one

er, hence the advantages are pot -
out for growers to plense give
attention te quality preduction and

•
The circular points out that a
consumer survey shows that buy-.
ers purchase fewer potatoes when
quality is poor. As a result, grow-
ers are warned thorough attention
snould be given to production of
potatoes which, will be white. in
color, re -early in texture and free
'frcim any sogginess or blackeeings
when cooked. All poor quality pias
toes should be graded out before
being offered -for sale, says the cir
cular, and an effective merchandis-
ing ,program adopted in order to
prevent a Further &vitae, in pota-
to production. Some factors of
direct influence to quality are var-
iety, maturity, soil fertility, bruis-
ing, temperature and grading. Very
practical advice is given under
each, of these headings: -
The circular emphasizes that it
fe only by cbnetant attention to
all factors that a genertal improve-
ment in quality of potatoes can be
obtained, The use of proper grow-
ing procedures plus sarefui culling
and quality tnaarketing, will in-
crease consumer demand and en-
sure higher net return to the
grower.
All potato growers would be meal
advised to secure a copy of this
circular. The material is of prac-
tical value and ehouldl- be very
helpful.
Plan "World Match"
The Country Dance
Then there was the old pioneer
country dance. All you had to do
to go to one of these old country
hoe-downs was to help pity the
fiddler by dropping into the hat
what was called the fiddler's
change, If you went to one of
these dances without a, girl part-
ner, you generally dropped five
cents into' the hat; if you had, a
girl partner, you generally -nut 10
cents, in; but if you were rushing
a girl strong, and engaged to her,
you generally showed off before
her by dropping 25 cents into the
fiddler's hat.
Eats and drinks were usually
furnished) by the hostess and
brought along by the girls.
The fiddler's jackpot usually ran
from $1.50 to $3.00. If the fiddler's
change was less than .,S1.50 he of-
ten put his fiddle in its box and
went home.
There was one old-time fiddler
who never went back on a $1.50
jackpot, David Healey was his
name, and he always, played "Sol-
dier's Joy" for a breakdown.
Then there wer some fiddlers
who would not play after tench;
when the fiddler's collection was
taken up, if the paCkpot was less
than $2.50.
But the larger the fiddler's
change, the better he played for
the balance of the night.

Credit Due
Great credit is due to the var-
ious forms of immunization for the
low incidence of some of the con-
tagious diseases which once were
epidemic in this country. Small-
pox, diphtheria and whooping
cough are all preventable diseases
and children may he rendered im-
mune to them by simple preventive
methods. In most ;communities,
such immunization is available free
of charge and no youfigster should
be without this protection. ,•
