Bishop Appleyard Visits Trinity Dedicates Snowden Bell in Belfry (hayfield Correspondent) The ,Rt. Rev. H. F. G. Apple- yiard, MC, DD, Bishop of Geor- gian Bay paid his first visit to Trinity Church, Bayfield, an November 19. He celebrated Holy Communion at eight o'- clock assisted by the rector and Canon H. M. Lang -Ford, Wat- erloo. Breakfast was served in, the parish hall to 27 by members of Trinity Church Guild. The tables were done in white linen with low bowls of yellow 'mums, Bishop Appleyard asked the blessing. Seated at the head table, on 'either side of his Lordship were the rector, the Rev. FJ. J, B. Harrison and Canon H. M. Lang Ford and the wardens. while members of the board's of management of the three churches, St, James, Middleton; St. John's, Varna and Trinity, Bayfiekl were .at the side tables. On behalf of the members of Trinity Guild, the president, Mrs. Percy Weston, presented Bishop Appleyard with a plate bearing the picture of Trinity Church as a mexnenho of this occasion, Later, he looked in on the Sunday School Session which he had also requested to at- tend. For the Confirmation serv`Ce at 11 o'clock, the Reverend Canon H. M. Lang -Ford, Wat- erloo, acted as bishop's chap- lain and carried his pastoral staff.. The Rev. Canon H. M. Lang - Ford read the first lesson and Rev. 4. J. B. Harrison, the sec- ond lesson. Those receiving the apostolic rite of laying on of hands, were Janice Marie Merner, Lin- da May Gemeinhardt, Terence Derek Fitzsimons, Garfield Merton 3/Terrier. Bishop Appleyard expressed his pleasure in finding such a beautiful little church and par- ish hail here. He based his re- marks on St. Paul's Epistle to the Galatians 6:13 "1 bear in my pbodi, the marks of Christ Jesus". In padd'ressing the can- didates in particular and the congregation in general, he st- ressed that having confirmed the promises made for theirs at their baptism they were just commencing the Christi -an life; that they must keep on studying and serving so that OUR HAPPY POILHOPIIER BY "TED" RYDER ours �ii3OSOPHEIQ P situs THE REASON TALK IS CHEAP IS, BECAUSE THE SUPPLY IS ALWAYS GREATER THAN THE DEMAND./ FF NE T T LEVISiON ' • .V.— RADIO ALES SERVICE 11U0.9320 CLiNTO the marks of Christ Jesus would be reflected in: their deeds, ,and their increase in matters spiritual would be felt. The choir sang "The Lord's Prayer" during the offertory with Mrs. E. A. Featherstone at the organ. Mrs, R. MacVean (Captain) First Company Bayfield Girl Guides presented Guides Shirl- ey Pierson and Sandra Middle- ton to the Bishop who congrat- ulated the 'girls upon having won their Religion and Life Ecnblems and he pinned them on :their uniforms. Bishop Appleyard his chap- lain and the rector proceeded to the vestibule. The Bishop dedicated the bell recently in- stalled in a small belfry topped by the cross on the vestibule. The Rector rang it for the first time with three peals. The inscription on the brass plaque read: "To the Glory of God and in Loving Memory of his parents, the Snowden bell is placed here by the rector, E1. 3. B. Harrison A.D. 1961". Bishop Appleyard welcomed the candidates for confirmation and presented them with their certificates and prayers before the closing prayers and Re- cessional. Frei k Falconer was intro-. diced by chairman Ross For- rest, RR 2, Kipper, as •a vet- eran councillor who had been with the township for a 'fang tie and was iholairLg up his end of the job very well. Mil. Falconer .noted that be bad ser- ved for seven years, since join- ing council when he was 31 years old, and be expressed his pleasure at working under Warden Forsyth, Mr. Falconer reviewed cost of fire protection — at the rate of $125 a year retain, ing fee, plus $7$ torr each fire, and Clinton at $200 a year, plus $75 the first hour and $50 the second hour on each call, The decision ' to meet Clinton's terrna had been in answer to a delegation of ratepayers, who requested Clinton Fire Depart- ment protection, "The assessment in that end of the township is high," re- ported Mr. Falconer, "including a trailer camp which brings in about $500 a year. I don't see how the 1962 council can re- fuse them fire protection from Clinton." •Mf1. Falconer said the loss of sheep killed by clogs was three times as high as the average year, and the first time he could remember that -the dog tax did not cover losses. In August the cost was $1,050, just because the farmers re- quested this price, the evaluat- or agreed to it and the majority of council passed it. "This does not convince me those sheep were worth that money. Dr. M, Stapleton was paid for 11 ewes valued at $40 each and three Iambs at $25 each, with no proof the ewes were registered. Allister Broad - foot was paid for four ewes at $40 each and 15 lambs at $25. I don't know bow you could get $25 for lambs when the top price is $21 in Toronto, nor do I know how the d'ogs could pick out all top lambs," said Mr. Falconer. Mr. Falconer did not favour raising dog tax one dollar a dog, "because this would only solve one problem: the money end of it. With 300 dogs in the township, why penalize all owners? Raising the tax one dollar won't get the man with two doss to tell the assessor he has fwd. Only solution is to use tags, and destroy dogs found without tags." Mr. Falconer did not believe there should have been any ar- gument over the reeveship, 'be- cause Tuckersmith needed both line and Mr. Thompson. This way one of them will be out and there will be two new councillors. Victor Lee reported 'briefly noting that more weed spray- ing was needed, but taxes had to be kept down. Elgin Thomson hoped for the day when the township had two graders to fight snow. He said there were eight loans for tile drainage, plus four more ap- plications. There has been $22,- 100 loaned since plan was be- gun in 1956. The Township gets only a small amount of tax money, An TOWNSHIP OF HULLETT We thank the ratepayers of Hullett Township , for an acclamation in our respective offices for the year 1962. ' We also welcome the opportunity to serve the best interests of the ratepayers for the ensuing year, and take this occasion of wishing all of you the compliments of the season for 1962, TOM LEiPER -- Reeve HUGH FLYNN -- Councillor JIM McEWING — Councillor CLARE ViNCENT --- Councillor DON BUCHANAN— Councillor grof rdrom:' Aluminum or Wooden Replace worn out storm windows now.

HIS 2*9514 KING STREET` CLINTON assessment of $5,100 brings the township only $72 out of a tot- al of $342. He was undecided whether to run, although he had bean sure he would stand for reevet However, he didn't want to be "out" with anybody. Arthur Varley reported on 7,700 cattle sprayed. He urged people to pay taxes early and take advantage of discounts of- fered. Mr. Varley explained the road program, and how ro»eY was apportioned. "It will be rough getting along without Ivan," said Mr. Varley, "He is a clever municipal officer, who knows and remembers the work." Ervin Sillery (named by.Mer- vyn Falconer and W. D. Wil- ms) hoped he would not lose all hisfriends by standing for council. He was willing .to go ,half way with anyone, .but be- lieved reason and good judge- ment must be used. Ross Forrest reported that the inspector of public schools had asked them to consider central school for the township. Mr. Forrest hoped that since the present build'irigs were in good shape, they would be able to operate them for another ten years at least. Vice-chairman Cleave Coom- bs reported on iinprovemenpts: two new heating systems in SS 1 and SS 4; a bus trip to Niagara; painting of SS 1 and SS 10; painting basements in SS 4 and SS 9; enlarging ,and fencing school grounds at SS 9 and SS 8 and adding 26 new desks at SS 7. Bob Gemmill and Clair Han- ey are 'the other members of theboard, with Vern Alder - dice added (named by Ernest Whitehouse and Wilmer Broad - foot). Jack Patrick (named by Wilmer Broadfoot and Charles Eyre) decided not to qualify. George Falconer, the town- ship representative on the CDOI Board reported that it was harder work for the older members, when new ones were added to the board; the new vocational school section would increase the work. He suggest- ed that $5 per meeting was not really enough: trustees should get the same fee as councillors. J. C. McIntosh reported for the Seaforth District High School Board, saying they sh- ould be glad that the Clinton board was willing to take on a thing the size of the new vo- cational wind. He called it a great change in educational op- portunity and very important. "Actually," said Mr. McIntosh, "this may cut costs because the schools may need fewer teach- ers in present schools." There was no report from South Huron District High School board, nor from the Seaforth Hospital Board.
