Bride Elect
Rambling With Lucy
(Lego g. woods) •
"The Cairn is finished! Have you seen it?" Asked Mrs.
Hopson.
Lucy hadn't!
"Drive her right UP pow," said she to Lucy's spouse,
Lucy found the result of the renovations Most impres-
sive, She gazed at it with awe. 1t had been a Cairn in
Chin Gregor Square, a memorial to Ba.yfielcl's fallen heroes.
Now this hallowed spot is artistically set apart in the
Square, by a three-foot walk around which is a Oahe fence
supported by iron posts, topped with maple leaves. Between
the walk and the Cairn it is landscaped with evergreens.
"What started this movement?" asked Lucy.
She learned that the local veterans had been talking
of doing something for several years but never got around
to it.
Mrs, George Hopson has been one of those who has
worked and kept flowers amend the Cairn 'over the years.
One night she went to a Bayfield Trustee Board meet-
ing. She asked the Trustees to do something in the matter
of renovating and keeping the public back off the flower
bed. She had their promise that something would be done.
Merton Merner suggested that a sketch of what might
be done should be made.
Trustee Ervine Pease, who is a draughtsman, drew up
a plan in colour, presenting a choice of row railings—picket
fence, iron, iron posts with chain, and stone,
Mrs. Hopson was shown the sketch and she took it
home to• show it to her husband.
Recently she'd consulted her horoscope and it said:
"Stop feeling sorry for yourself; get out and be active."
So this day she looked it up again. Her star was in the
ascendancy, "Do what you have in mind. You have friends,"
• So, with her ailing husband's blessing, she set out to
collect for the project, She tramped up and down the
streets and got what she describes as "a wonderful re-
sponse" from summer residents and villagers alike.
A small whirlwind of energy, Mrs. Hopson covered
the village in three days as a result of which she had
two sore feet. But she was the spark which started the
movement of which all who helped, either by wqrk or
contribution, may be proud. And she hovered over it
like a mother hen.
When the local veterans learned that her effort was'
meeting with such success, they met and decided to do
the work themselves , as had been done when the Cairn
was built, thus reliving the Village Trustees of respone
sibility for it.
The following committee was appointed to take charge:
Merton Merner (chairman), R. Roy Fitzsimons (secretary-
treasurer), F. E. McFadden and Malcom Toms, with Mrs,
G .Hopson, ex-officio.
They decided to use the chain fencing as being the
most practical, and to do as much of the work as possible
themselves.
After she'd turned the funds for work over to the
treasurer, Mrs. Hopson began thinking about all the land-
scaping on Ervine Pease' plan. So she started a tree
and bulb fund. •
Knox Presbyterian, St. Andrew's United, Trinity Angli-
can and Hayfield! Baptist Churches each paid for a Mount-
batten juniper which are planted in the four outside corners.
Others subscribed for four yew trees for the inner corner,
four Golden Phifer Junipers and 218 Pride of Haarlem
red tulips.
Mrs. LeRoy Poth took Mrs. Hopson to Port Burwell
for the nursery stock. It •was the day of the bad fog.
Visibility was very poor and they found themselves in Port
Stanley. But the fog cleared and after this trying - trip,
arrived home safely from Port Burwell.
That night the little trees were planted and watered
(by residents living on the Square), and Mrs. Hopson also
received help in planting the tulips.
But to go back to the Cairn. John Lindsay did the
excavating for the walk. Carson Fawcett and Mr. Heard
were employed to do the cement work and Melvin Davison
to renew the pointing in the Cairn.
A veteran donated the 12 maple leaves for the posts;
Merton Merner cut the posts from iron piping, did all
the welding in making the bases, setting the iron leaves
on top of lids for the posts and attaching the chains. Fred
Weston did the painting.
The bronze plaques were taken to Kitchener for re-
dipping by Merton Merner and R. Roy Fitzsimons, and
replaced. Alf. F. Scotchmer re-arranged the lighting.
Materials were purchased rocally. The chain came from
Toms Brothers Fishery.
The veterans held a work party at the Cairn on
Thanksgiving Day to clean up, dig the flower bed around
the Cairn and mound up and plant grass seed outside
the fence.
In less than two months a dream had become a reality.
It will be dedicated on Sunday, November 10 by the
Rev. D, 3. Lane, D.D., Chaplain of Clinton Branch 140 of
the Royal Canadian Legion.
The Clinton Legion, with pipe band and colour party
will parade to St. Andrew's United Church, Bayfield, for
the Remembrance Day service at 11:00 a.m. The Bay-
field Scouts, Cubs, Guides and Brownies' have been invited
to participate. The service will be in charge of the Rev.
A, G. Pease.
, At 12:15 p.m. a Memorial Service will be held at the
Cairn in charge of the ministerial association.

Brownie Hallowe'en
A costume party took the
place of the regular Brownie
meeting on October 30. A large
attendance of Brownies enjoyed
a grand march while the judges
who were Mrs. Greenaway and
Mrs. Reid, tried to choose four
winners.
This was particularly diffi-
cult as there were many very
fine costumes. A decision was
finally reached by the ladies
with the winners being: "Gran-
nie", Wendy St. Louis; "Indian
Maid", Christine Moody; "A
Knight", Barbara Thomson;
"Raggedy Anne", Nancy Balser,
This was 'followed by several
relay games with the climax
being a "twist contest". The
theme of this should have been
"I could have danced all night".
Winners were finally picked
and they were: Debbie Daum
and Nancy Naven.
After such strenuous action
a quiet "pow wow" circle was
formed and Brownies enjoyed a
quiet sing-song before lunch
was served. Guests and judges
were thanked for coming and
the evening closed with taps.
Congratulations are extended
