Rambiing With Lucy
(4,10yR, Wooals)
In a letter dated. .Octelaer .25, Mrs, Percy Lewis,
Byron Avenue, Ottawa writes;. "The weather has been most
beautiful and a lot nicer than we have had all summer.
"By the way, we have a flowering crab-apple tree in
front of our house and the Whole top Milne out in bloom
again and has been flowering for the last three weeks,
"I also pulled several strawberries from our patch and
the birds got the rest,
"I have my sunflower seed ready as there have been
grosbeaks around already,"
Two weep,. before this letter was written, sprigs of -
forsythia and bridal Wreath in bloom graced the table at
"The Hut." And a few days later two beautiful bouquets
of sumac, coloured maples, etc., were added to the center-
piece, There they were, Spring and Falls and one wondered
what was upsetting the seasons,
One notices that the wild raspberries are all in bloom
again and even an odd ripe berry is to be found. And there
were fresh green beans growing on the same plants to
supply the table at, "The Hut" from July 15 to October 31.
And still in Bayfield there has not been a killing frost.
"The last rose of summer" (drooping over a bud vase)
has been thrown out at "The Hut" for the third time! Who
knows, maybe a fourth one will yet develop! At least Lucy
is enjoying to the full, flowers and scenery. Perhaps even
nature is rushing the seasons, not knowing what the Spring
rains will bring — life or deathIll!
— Young folk worked very hard to turn over
the cement end benches on Clan Gregor Square at the
School Bus Stops, and also those at Pioneer Park; At the
latter, they also knocked the low pole railing at the top .
of the cliff down the bank. (Rather senseless since it was
put there for public protection — their own included.)
It might be a good idea if the parents dressed up,
went out and mingled with the 'teenagers next Hallowe'en
— if there is Such an• occasion,
The story of a pioneer merchant in Brucefield and
the way he protected .his property on Hallowe'en is of
interest;
The local boys were attempting to get a wagon up
on his roof. He went out in the dark and mingled with
them. Quite suddenly their enthusiasm for the prank van-
ished when a well-known voice with an unmistakable
Scottish burr said: "Arw-richt lads! I'll .gie ye a lift."
The lads vanished. The wagon was grounded.

(Bayfield Correspondent)
At the Bayfield Fall Fair
this year, there were two dis-
tinguished visitors, Mrs. Young,
Cochrane, the past president of
the Women's Section of Agri-
cultural Fairs for Ontario, and
the present president, Mrs. Jos-
eph Grummett, Seaforth. She
has between 14 and 16 fall
fairs to visit each autumn.
This was the first time Mrs.
Grummett had visited the Bay-
field Fall. Fair. She was quite
intrigued with the local exhib-
its and asked that next year
when advertising the event,
the directors use' the term—
"The Friendly Fair".
Exhibits which the president
of the Women's Section of Ag-
ricultural Fairs for Ontario
asked be taken to the Huron-
Perth District 8 meeting at
Listowel on Wednesday, Nov-
ember 1 were:
The display "Why I am proud
to be a Canadian" by senior
room of Bayfield Public School.
A collection of various des-
igns of painting on china by
Miss Eileen Hession.
"Woods in Spring", an oil
painting by Mrs. J. E. Howard
which won the Fair Acres sp-
ecial prize for art.
(Mrs, Howard had entered
this painting in an amateur
competition early in the year
and had the honour of having
it hung in the National Art
Gallery, Ottawa, for three
months.)
These were on display all day
Clinton Community Coneert
Band and the majorettes have
been officially entered in the
giant Santa Claus Parade in
London on Saturday, November
25 (only two weeks away).
This means extra practices,
and it is hoped every member
will turn out for practice and
the majorettes will make ap-
pearances in the new winter
uniforms, These are short roy-
al blue skirts, white sweaters
and royal blue bell-hop hats
trimmed with white. Let's get
the needles and thread flying,

no band practice the last week

More Engagements
Appearances in Blyth on No-
vember 11 and in Seaforth on
December 5, plus the concert
in CDCI auditorium on Sun-
day evening, December 17 are
still ahead. An interesting pro-
gram for the concert is planned
and we should like to see about
600 people there. This was the
number attending the sacred
at the sectional meeting in Lis-
towel.
Delegates from Bayfield Fall
Fair Board who attended were:
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Stirling,
Mrs. J. E. Howard and Mrs.
Robert Taylor
Each Fall Fair secretary was
asked to give a report on fin-
ances (Bayfield broke about
even); exhibits up or down,
(about same, two new exhibit-
ors) and the activities at each
fair. Robert Stirling, secretary-
treasurer reports that in the
whole district the gate attend-
ance was, down; the exhibits
were down and some were get-
ting into financial difficulties.
Mr. Stirling stated that the
day was most interesting and
well worth while for the dele-
gates.
F. A. Lashley of the Ontario
Department of Agriculture was
present.
The women and men broke
up into two groups. The pan-
el discussion for the women
was "How they judge". And
the'various groups of men dis-
cussed agricultural activities.
The question of prize money
being paid to professional show
men when there are very few
horses in use on the farms was
one item for discussion.
Robert Stirling also felt that
the meeting gave the delegates
a chance to see what others
are doing.

Tag Nite
A Tag Day or night on Nov-

to help raise bus fare to Lon-
don. With a large amount of
new equipment, etc., bought
recently by the band. the fund
is pretty low. Junior members
of the Band are doing as great
chore for the town, and we th-
ink they should be appreciated
more than they are, as well as
the adults in the band.
Appreciation is needed now
to send them to the London
Parade. I can think of no bet-
ter way (as is the trend to-
day) than donations for bus
fares. Any donations can be
sent to George Wonch, Clinton.

drive over the top, Mr. and
