"THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE"
Editor's Corner
By Bob Burton
Starting a newspaper, even a small one, is
not a one man or a two man operation.
(In our case a one man and one woman
operation.) It is a community affair. That
is why we are pleased to see people like
Esther Makins, Elva Metcalf, Milvena.Erickson,
Ed Strachan and others who wrote up and
brought in news articles that are of
interest to many in Bayfield and area.
So if something is happening that is good
and worthwhile, write it up and bring it
in. Both we and our readers appreciate it.
This paper is for the residents of Bayfield
and its surrounding farm community. So take
it upon yourself to make it just that.
Another thing about being in the middle of
news even in a small community is the
opportunity one gets to meet so many peo-
ple. ,_Byand larse the •eople we have met
so far in of
both kind and supportive.
Putting out a weekly newspaper is not a
piece of cake. It is hard work. It is
expensive. The Post is going to remain
free to the reader. In order to gener-
ate needed capital, The Post is going to
sell "Honorary Subscriptions" to readers who
may want to support the paper in a tangible
and concrete way. The cost of an "Honorary
Subscription" is $10.00.
At Christmas The Post will recognize its
honorary subscribers by publishing their
names (with permission) on a special page
dedicated to them.
SUPPORT OUR ADVERTISERS. We couldn't
exist without them. Tell them you saw
their ad in The Post.
HONORARY SUBSCRIPTIONS to The Bayfield Post
are p10,00. If you are able, back up your
support for The Post with an Honorary
Subscription. You may WANT us, but we NEED
you.

Anwar Sadat
DEATH OF A PEACEMAKER
The forces of terrorism and insanity have
struck again. The victim, Anwar Sadat,
the President of Egypt.
lorld barbarism has reached the point where
men of peace die and 1 he'perpetrators of
violence live.
To say that the assassination of Anwar
Sadat shocks the sensibilities of what is
left of the civilized world is to say the
obvious. The deathof this great man is
nothing short of catastrophic.
Sadat was courageous. He stood alone against
the entire Arab world, because he believed in
Sadat was compassionate. He alone responded
to the dying Shah of Iran when he gave him
a country where he could die in peace. He
did so not because he was the Shah, but
because he was a dying brother.
4ha.t will happen to the stability in the
I'+fiddle past is anyone'sguess. Now that the
chief architect cf peace is gone the ele-
ments of terror and power -seeking can romp
at will. The man of peace is dead. Perhaps
peace died with him. Time will tell.
