He owned a family cottage, which is still in his family, on Old River Road, and he was very well known and respected in the community. Immediately, Bayfield was involved in the war. It wasn't a theoretical exercise amongst politicians, now it was personal! After World War I, many of the local men and women who had served, didn't return home to Bayfield. Job prospects were poor and the effects of the depression saw many families either drift to Western Canada, the US or to the cities. Declining catches had hurt the fishing industry and the lamprey eel also had a devastating effect. Serving the summer tourists was just about the only way to earn money unless you could find employment in Goderich or Clinton. The 1941 Census showed that the total population of Bayfield had dropped to about 321 people. Military recruitment was very different for World War 11. There were no local parades and no one was trying to raise a Huron County Regiment. There were no men drilling in Clan Gregor Square. This time, men just quietly left to sign up for the service of their choice. Before they were shipped overseas, men with local connections would often drift back to Bayfield on their last leave to say their goodbyes. Town Hall social gatherings would be quickly arranged. During one of these events, Privates Joe Wild and Keith Gemeinhardt, A.C. Bill Robinson and Stocker, Merton Merner, were called to the platform and our World War I heroine, Maud Stirling, made a speech praising their sense of duty and courage. Here's how the Clinton News -Record described another occasion in 1940: "Bayfield presented an almost "kaleidoscopal" scene on Saturday evening, when Bayfield citizens rallied to the special call and hurried to the Town Hall whose lights shone out over the snow, here and there from every direction one could see people marching single file through the drifts of snow. "The occasion was to honor three native sons of Bayfield, James Dewar who has enlisted in the Navy, James Sturgeon and Tom Castle of the Army, Mrs. Percy Weston's nephew, LAC Ernest Fulton from Bigger, Saskatchewan who is stationed at Clinton, was a guest and was called also onto the platform to receive a small gift. "The program was an informal one consisting of community songs accompanied by Mrs. James Ferguson, followed by dancing. The local orchestra was composed of Mrs. Jack Parker, Mrs. Harry Thomas, Miss Jake!ine Parker, Mrs. George Weston and Mr. Lindsay Smith. "Gifts of wool and a pen and pencil set were presented to the three by Mrs. Walter Westlake cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/week451ssue383/tabid/803/Default.aspx 7/10 6/13/2019 week 45 Issue 383 Local boy, Robert McLeod, and another sailor posing on the Helen MacLeod II in 1942.

Gairdner, read the following presentation address: 'Bayfield I always have declared has a loyalty all its own. Where else could you find a community that in a few short hours on the stormiest night of the year, could gather together at you have tonight."' Local women felt that they couldn't just sit idle while the boys were fighting. According to the Goderich Signal -Star in Dec. 1940, "There were 58 active knitters including some summer visitors who continued to work for the Bayfield unit after they had returned to the city. This group had already produced 744 knitted articles for the troops and 1,400 items that could be used as hospital supplies, as well as 178 articles for refugees." The war was far away and the residents of Bayfield were relatively poor but at each Town Hall event and fundraising dance, they were determined to make a contribution to the war effort.

Being able to experience the "most magical place on earth" through the eyes of a five year-old and two year-old was absolutely precious.

Our grandson's preferred attraction, although he'd probably tell you it was the "People Mover", was Buzz Lighyear's Space Ranger Spin, a shooting gallery style ride that allows riders to fire lasers from a cannon to defeat "Zurg". And why would he say his preferred ride was the "People Mover"? Because it takes riders through part of the Buzz Lightyear experience, of course! And what was little Miss Noelle's favorite ride? Well, she liked anything and everything boat like, however, she seemed to be the most excited first thing in the morning when we all climbed into the Tram that took us from the parking lot to the theme park of the day. She smiled and giggled. The wind blowing her gentle tangle of curls about her wee face with her hands resting securely on the thighs of those members of her family she chose to sit between. Upon reflection, maybe, just as it was for me, spending time with family was Noelle's most favorite part too. — Melody Jr IMG_1232 Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always Melody and Mickey welcome.
