They made their home in Stratford. Mr. and Mrs. Kelly have two children, Kitty, 14, and Jim, 13 years. But nursing beckoned again to Mrs. Kelly in 1947 when, for six months, she substituted for a supervisor at Parkwood Hospital, London, and having had a taste of it once more, she continued to do private duty on her return home. Mrs. Kelly plans a tray service for patients, since, as she explain- ed, many people are on diets, and DRIVE IN TODAY and prove it to yourself that our new AUTOMATIC CAR WASH will get your car cleaner, besides adding a protective Wax coating.

J6. pfla Ja.. alba AIL. .1.1. it made it more simple. Thum, this home which was built by the late Dr. Richard Stanbury in 1878 for both a res.).- deuce and surgery, will once again be a place for the treatment .of human ills, though as ahome rather than a consulting office. If the old house could talk what tales it could tell of joy and sorrow in those olden days. Dr. Stanbury bought the site September 16, 1874, from the Hon7 curable Malcolm Cameron, Goole- rich, who had purchased Bayfield, With the exception of certain lots which had already been sold, from Baron de Tuyll, October 16, 1861, At that time Dr. Stanbury lived in. a house on Louisa Street (now owned by Fred Telford). It is said that when Dr. Milian Woods built his fine new brick house on Main Street East (now the residence of his granddaughter, Mrs. J. E. Howard), that Dr. Stanbury could hardly wait to get his built. And in site and arch- itectural splendor he out-did Dr. Woods in design, The Stanbury residence was built with two bay windows at either side facing Clan Gregor Square, the one on the corner of Howard Street rising to a turret. The brick work was done by Matthew Twenrtyman and sons, Thomas' and Joseph, local artisans. Once when Dr, Stanbury ran for councillor, one Henry Wain- wright, a master in the use of satire, used his pen. in bitter at- tacks against him in the press. EXcitement ran high in the village. Dr. Stanbury's two sons had a pet goat, They hitched it to a sleigh with placards on either side: "Vote for Stanbury". Soon they gathered an enthusiastic fol- lowing. When the count revealed that Dr. Stanbury had been a success- ful candidate, Mre. Stanbury broadcast an invitation to an open house. A light was placed in every window, even in the attic. Perhaps the latter was a mis- take since "by word o' mouth" we learned that mischievous boys got up into the attic. There they dis- covered balls of carpet rags all sewn ready for the weaver which the good lady of the house had stored for safe-keeping. In their exuberance, they sent the balls rolling down the stairs and around the house which was crowded, un- winding as they went. For the most part, though, the guests ap- preciated their hostesses' gener- osity and spent the evening in singing and dancing. Dr. and Mrs. Stanbury had four children, the late Dr. John Stan- bury, Toronto; the late Judge J. G. Stanbury, Lincoln County (for- merly of Exeter); Reta, who died at the family home about 1903, and Flossie, Mrs. Robert Stelck, now residing in Edmonton. They were always sympathetic to young folk and every New Year's there was a party at the Stanbury home. Mrs. Stanbury, prior to ner marriage was Miss Jane Eliza. Stuart, daughter, of the Reverend James Stuart, a minister of the Auld Kirk. She came to Bayfield as governess to, the daughters of the Reverend H. Gibson. It was inevitable that strong cultural and religious influence in the village emanated from her home. And here also, many Presbyterian soc- ials were held as well as women's gatherings. One lad of those days, long since gone to his reward, told the writer that on an occasion of a church social, they knew there'd be plenty of cakes in the pantry. So they hung around dut- side. The pantry window was open. In the dark they could see what they thought was a white cake. One lad reached his arm in to grab it gathered the cream off a pan of milk! (In those days nearly every household' had its own dairy). "Dr. Dick" as he' was known to his friends, had a great sense of humor. He was one of those rare characters' who possessed the abil- ity to laugh at, himself. In the garden grew a pear tree which bore luscious fruit. And as frequently happens' in life, the vil- lage bays forgot the Stanbury's kindness and when the fruit was about ripe, raids were made' on the tree. One night Mrs. Stanbury con- ceived the idea of having her hus- band recline on a lounge near the kitchen window. She put out the light and when the boys arrived, he' was to rush out and nab them. The boys came alright, but the doctor called out to his wife: "Lizzie, the boys are at your pears," And sa he gave them plenty of time to make a hasty exit, before he arrived on the scene. Good Will Club Hears Talk By Mrs. F. Fingland The February meeting of the Good Will Club of Wesley-Willis United Church was held at the home of Mrs. M. Shearing on Tuesday evening, February 14. The president, Mrs. G. Manning was in charge. The meeting op- ened by singing "Onward Christ- ian Soldiers" accompanied by Mrs. W. VanEgmond on her accordian.

There maladjusted adolescent girls are helped to find their way back into society. Mrs. VanBeenond played two ac- cordian solos which were very much enjoyed. Mrs. L. Ball expressed the thanks of the Club to Mrs. Shear- ing for her hospitality and to all who contributed to a successful evening. The contents of the.

Bond and their group. 0 MOTHER'S STUDY GROUP TO MEET NEXT TUESDAY, FEB, 28 The Mothers' Study Group of the Wesley-Willis United Church will meet next Tuesday, February 28, at the home of Mrs. H. C.

RATHBUN SPEAKS AT AUBURN SERVICE The World's Day of Prayer was. held in Knox Presbyterian Church, Auburn. Mrs. Les Rathbun, Clin- ton was guest speaker. Many lad- ies of the community attended this meeting. One of the writer's last Mem- ories of this kindly, aristocratic old lady (she was of the same lineal descent as Mary Queen of Scots) was• of her clad in a gown of the Victorian era, standing be- side her pear tree to guard it from the depredations of the school boys. They had been warned by the teacher not to steal Mrs'. Stamibury's pears. But despite this, after school, a group of them. slip- ped off down into the swamp and thought to get in the back way. But as we Passed by on our way home, we knew that they'd 'be fool- ed that day. The property was sold in 1318 to Archibald Galbraith. He died January' 16, 1016, and his nephew, William J, Stinson inherited it. Ile died March 15, 1034, but it re. trained in farrtily peseetsioe until the leellys purchased it. The old hquse is fall of men cries, and now it will house Many, perhaps, who live with their own memories, (By MISS LUCY WOODS) Th—ayfield Rest Hame—"a home within a hone"---is' about to fulfill a long4elt need here fora haven where elderly persons and con- valescente no longer able to carry on alone, can receive the eoineorts of home. How mane PeoPle in the years since the large Stinson house on the corner of clan Gregor Square and Howard Street West, has been advertised for sale, have looked at it and said, "Wouldn't it make a fine convalescent home?" And that is exactly what Mr, and Mrs, J, A. Kelly, Stratford, thought when they saw it, They came here to Vend a vacation at Lloyd's Cabins in the summer of 1953. They began to toy with the idea of purchasing it for such an opera- tion, But they had property in Stratford which had to be disposed of first, Finally on August 24, 1955, they completed the purchase and moved here. At once they began rehovating. About the first step was to cut down the beautiful old trumpet vine which covered the verandah and front of the house. (Doubt- less it had been planted just after the house had been built). The place took on a rather bare fore- lorn look * much like a woman whose beautiful tresses have been shorn. But with a bit of "titivat- ing", painting the doors, Rosewood pink and the window frames and sashes in white, etc., the old home appears quite rejuvenated. Mr. and Mrs. Kelly have been doing the work themselves as far as possible. A bathroom has been installed downstairs, a new oil furnace is now operating. The halls have been re-decorated in green. The large dining-room on the southwest side, and the large parlor on the southeast, have been done in pale pink and rose- wood. These are the two rooms which will accommodate up to three and four beds respectively. The high ceilings and spacious airy rooms throughout the building lend themselves admirably to the purpose for which it will be used. The tower room upstairs has been done in pink and blue, and soon the Kellys hope to have the other bedrooms finished.
