As The World Wags On
Bayfield Keeping
In Step With Times
By ARTHUR R. FORD
London Free Press Editor Emeritus A life devoted to nursing and
a career distinguished by the
gratitude of her literally
thousands of patients was
brought to a close by the death
early July 20 of Miss Maud
Sterling at her home here. She
would have been 88 this No-
vember.
Miss Sterling was born in
1877 on a farm near Goderich,
one of a large family of child-
ren. After receiving her prof-
essional training at Toronto,
she was stationed with Canad-
ian troops in Greece during
World War I. Her outstanding
work in that theatre was re-
cognized later on her arrival
in England when she was re-
ceived in audience by His Ma-
jesty King George V from
whom she received a citation
for her work.

she took up an administrative
post at the Owen Sound hos-
pital. In 1929 Miss Sterling
returned to Bayfield at which
time she ceased to practise
nursing professionally, although
she was often called upon to
use her valuable training in
Bayfield.
As long as health permitted
she was an active and ardent
worker for St. Andrew's Unit-
ed Church, superintendent of
the Sunday School and active
in the W.M.S.
The funeral was to be held
Wednesday afternoon from the
United Church here.

Hayfield: — Every summer
when I return to Hayfield I am
fearful that my favorite sum-
mer resort will have succumb-
ed to all the raucous, noise-
making modern devices that
have ruined most of our On-
tario lake resorts. However, I
can assure our readers that
ft/field is still Hayfield_ It is
the same quiet, peaceful village
with the same maze-like series
of streets made for wandering
lovers, with their huge trees
and foliage a little greener, and
the old-fashioned flowers a lit-
tle brighter, than any place
else. The chief excitement at
Bayfield is still the morning
gathering at the post office for
the mail and the view in the
evening from Pioneer Park of
the glorious sunsets. The air
and atmosphere of Hayfield has
not changed.
• * •
Let no one think, though,
that Hayfield is not in step
with modern progress. Like the
whole world today, Bayfield is
on the march. Hayfield may
not lead a movement for Hur-
on County to succeed from
Canada and establish a new
Commonwealth, as a protest
against the proposed new flag,
as was earlier threatened. The
Canadian Red Engisn, though,
is flying proudly every day in
Clan Gregor Park and over the
monument of the sons of Hay-
field who fell in the two world
wars. The monument was re-
cently restore dand rededicated

As "Centennial Park"
On July 21st the Agricultur-
al Society of Hayfield passed a
resolution to change the name
of the Agricultural Grounds,
perhaps better known as the
fair grounds, to "Centennial
Park." The resolution passed
was part of the Centennial

ber of artists from the Hensall-
Exeter area taking part in this
festival.
The paintings themselves
ranged in price from $3.00 to
$500.00. Several art fanciers
took advantage of this tremen-
dous display to purchase one or
two for their own collection.
Martha Rathburn, president
of the Art Club. noted that
this year's exhibition was def-
initely more colorful than last
year's.
While it is estimated that
more than 2,000 people toured
the Art Mart, only 974 regis-
tered.
This past weekend, three ships of the Royal
Canadian Navy docked in Goderich harbour. The
HMCS Porte St. Jean, HMCS Porte St. Louis,

day evening, 100 new trainees joined their ships
for the two-week program. Also in port over the
weekend was the government ship Relay. It and its
twin the Porte Dauphine are presently engaged in
a marine study of the Great Lakes.
