What kind of man
rescues cats
in distress?
Rescuing pussycats from tall hydro poles is
not a job we train our linemen to do. Yet it's
a task they handle surprisingly often .. and
with remarkable agility and derring-do.
Their real service to the community lies in their skill in
working with the lines and transformers that carry
electricity to your home, office or business. Day or night,
in all kinds of weather, our line maintenance staff,are on
the job to ensure that you always have a constant supply
of low cost electrical power.
However, take one anxious parent, a tearful youngster
and one distressed pussycat huddled on the crossarm,
and our linemen do the neighbourly thing .... happily
reuniting purring puss and smiling owner.
Friendliness is an essential part of our day's work,

to the polls
To cast their ballots to

T'was a beautiful day, on the

possible, for the children in the

plans for raising the funds
necessary to pay for all this,

WATERFRONT YARNS
"HEARD IN THE LEE
OF THE LONGBOAT"
The Sea Scouts have been
busy cleaning up the north
beach area, in preparation for
the haul-out of pleasure craft
this coming weekend. The beach
is all cleaned of debris and has
been bulldozed flat.
The Rangers will be running a
coffee-wagon the day of the
haul -out to bring coffee,
sandwiches etc. to the workers
and boat owners and anyone
who is on hand. The Sea Scouts
and Rangers will also assist -in
cleaning up the boats after they
are hauled-out.
THAT—
Last week, the pleasure craft
were all nestled snugly side by
side in the harbour with their
masts stretched majestically
skyward. Today as we look at
the same boats; the masts have
all been dismantled and by the
weekend only a few craft will be
left lying in the water.
It is a lonely, empty feeling,
for we know it is the finale to a
busy season of boating, and
possibly the last We'll see of our
harbour friends until the season
opens again in the spring,
THAT—
The Club house, artistically
decorated in hallowe'en motif,
complete with a witch who sat
at the top of the stairs glowering
down at everyone, was the
setting for a most enjoyable
Hallowe'en costume party, held
on Oct. 23 for members of
Bayfield Yacht Club and their
families.
Following a parade, the
costumes were judged, Dean
Curtis, London, dressed as
Liberate' was judged the best
costume. Best comic prize went
to Joan Curtis, London, as a cat.
Under 12 years of age were as
follows: Gary Beck, London,
best disguise; Master Russell,
Stratford, best camouflage
(tree); Edward Bullen, Bayfield,
best boy comic (girl); Debbie
Webster, Exeter, best girl comic
(rabbit).
Cards and games were played
and a sumptuous pot-luck
supper was enjoyed by everyone.

Schwenck Gilbert
Not so with Captain Ed
Siddall, commercial fisherman.
He had a whale of a crew as he
brought his fishing tug "Andav
H" into the harbour with boxes
of nets loaded with perch on
Sunday last.
His crew had pulled a couple
of gangs of nets and had no
room left in the tug to lift the
rest, so they had to come to port
and recruit men from the village
to help pick out the fish.
About 3 o'clock in the
afternoon they headed out into
the lake again and pulled
another gang; and this too
loaded the boat,
By 10 p.m. the fish were all
picked out, but still hours of
work to be done packing the fish'
in ice and weighing each box for
export.
It was approximate that 40 to
50 hundred pounds of fish came
off the Siddall tug, and still nets
left in the lake they hadn't been
able to lift,
Never, for a good many yearS
has there been a lift of fish such
as this come into Bayfield
Harbour; and it has been
rumoured that "Davey Jones"
surely must -have opened up his
locker!!
THAT--
"Captain Crunch" of
Woodstock was seen at the
harbour on Sunday.

EXPECTING?
When the ballots were
counted some were happy and
gay
Others looked sad as though
they'd lost their way
Next election they vowed
they'd be- out in numbers
To try and elect one of their
brothers.
I think enough said of the
election day
We all had our chance to vote
democratically,
The candidates all can't be
victorious
But for the ones elected, they
must feel gloriobs.
So the Provincial election has
come and gone
And as the old saying goes;
the best man won
We hope and we pray our
P.M. will do
The best for Ontario, and for
me and you.
