He suggested in humorous vein that if Beyfield and Hur- on County were 'asked' to haul down the Union Jack they might declare ledeppeclence of Canada and set up their own commonwealth with the historic name of Huronia. 13ruce. County and even Grey might join! ,And he•Pictured Mrs, -George Hopson, of United Empire Loyalist stock, leading a revolt against Ottawa and- challeng- ing The Honourable Judy LaMarsh., Our loyalties here 'are strong! Huron seceding over a • hew Canadian flag is highly improbable, btit not impossible! • Other disturbances ,equally as minor are blowing themselves up into national revolts all over 'the world, And why should this part of Canada be any exception? As far as changing the flag goes, Lucy' as seen no design kit which typified Canada more than the Canadian Ensign, Thousand's ,of Canadians have fought and died for Canada under that "old bit of bunting", the Union Jack. Why should- it`t it 'be Included in cur flag since Britain gave us our etart— and Queen Elizabeth II of England 'is also Queen pf Canada.? And What is more representative of the provinces of our country 'than the Canadian Coat of Arms? It seems to Lucy that the movement for a new Canadian flag, other than the Canadian Epsign, is "IVfucli ado about nothing". If she had a flagpole she'd fly 'the Union Jack, arlYWayl Lucy finds her 'thoughts have been side tracked to the flag question instead of confining them to "Hayfield". In 1955 whereShe was in OttaWa at the CWNA (Ontario Division) convention, 'a group of newepapermen were com- menting on her coverage in the .Clinton News-Record, "I try to keep Bayfield on the map, so to speak," she stated, "Yes, you and Arthur Ford!" remarked the publisher of the Exeter Times-Advocate, Mr. Ford has come 'to our fair village for years and he has a great affection for it. His writings' do not always please all the citizens. Neither do Lucy's rainblings! That would be impossible. It's a great honour to have Hayfield mentioned in such. a widely 'read column as Mr. Ford's. He has given Hayfield his "favourite summer resort" widespread-publicity for Which we as a village should be most grateful. Judging from the past, and looking to /the future, should not we be helping ourselves 'by advertising Hayfield as one. of the beauty spots in Canada? (Remember it pays to adver- tise.) Recently, when Lucy was in Victoria Hospital, chatting in 'the Sun room, she was often asked: "Where are you from?" "Hayfield," she'd reply. Sometimes the information elicited such comments as: "Oh yes, that is Arthur Ford's. town!" "Arthur Ford'has a summer place , there," etc. She was really shocked by the number of persons living in London who had no idea. where Hayfield was situated. "Oh, ye's," one wouldreply, "I've heard the name." Or, "I've read about it in Mr. Ford's articles, but where is it?" Lucy was forced to ask: "Do you know where Goderich is situated?" Some did and some didn't, but. everyone knew Grand' Bend. And so she would give directions from it. Several persons said: "I must have passed through the' place!" . Then Lucy would enquire if he or she remembered a bridge over a pretty river valley with a 'glimpse of Lake Huron—invariably the person did. But the greatest shock came when, at least two people, life-long residents of London, had never even heard of Bay- field—the most premising port on the East shore of Lake Huron in pioneer days—and it only 50 nines away ! ! ! Perhaps the reason for this 'go'es back to the fact that the Village Fathers have never seen fit to advertise their pretty village. Lucy recalls 'being asked, many years ago, to attend a meeting of council members, business people and persons interested in the. advancement 'of the village, with represen- tatives of the Bluewater Highway Association. She was really disappointed that 'the majority of council were against spending $50 to have Hayfield advertised' in the publicity pamphlet handed out to tourists at the Blue Water Bridge. Not being noted in it, neither was "Hayfield in the film advertising of that Association done in.later years. One council member stated then: "Put a sign up at McEwen's corner or south of it, and it'll bring far more to the village than the Blue Water Highway Association publicity. And it Won't cost 'any more than a quarter of that sum!" It was short-sighted, of course. People travel so quickly, they think of it 'as just another "stop" sign and ignore the name. Or if they notice it, rarely do ,strangers step to investi- gate. Comparisons are odious, but may Lucy point out that Grand Bend has never missed an opportunity to advertise or male conditions attractive for its summer population. • It's high time 'those elected 'to office did . something in the matter of attracting tourists instead, of going along haphazardly, 'depending 'on "word o' mouth" or the curiosity of some readers of the London Free Press to discover for themselves the village in which Arthur R. Ford relaxes- in the summer, and which he enjoys so much.
