Received By
Our Bayfield .
Correspondent
Our Bayfileld correspondent.
Mrs. Audrey Bellcharnber, gets
both ia scolding and camplli-
ments' from a village summer
resident from the Detroit area..
She prefers to think of the two
tetters printed -here as fan mail.
We have intentionally left out
the. letter 'Writer’s name' and
address. The place referred to
is Grosse Point, not Gross Point
as in the tetters.,
. . -
Bayfield, Ontario.
July 15, 1966.
Mrs. Audrey Bellchamber,
c/o Post Office,
. Bayfield, Ontario.
Dear Madam:
You are’an excellent news-
. papei' reporter.
But, what is getting me is
When a Polack, 'he or She, ar
rives into our Village Visiting
their friend no .matter whalt
city or town of Michigan they
come from, you are always us-
. ing the Gross Point name for
a big honour to them.
You must* realize that .Gross
Point is not a restricted! area
since the aristocratic million
aires moved out of it into an
other town of their own class.
Art' one time their own City
officials employees could not af
ford to make their homes a-
mong them, let alone the small
fry.
To-day, Gross Point is just
another suburban of the Met-
■ ropolitan City of Detroit with
no Strict restrictions.
Madam, in the first place our
Village of Bayfield could not
accommodate the former aris
tocrats of Gross Point as We
have not the proper facilities
like hotels, docks; and beach
-far theiir kind. So don’t let our
selves pretend that we are ibilg?
No ■ wonder, this broken dbwn
Don Juian (my class) fits
fectly into our village.
Yours truly,
DON JUAN• # * ■
, Bayfield, Ontario.
JUly 19,1966:
Mrs. Audrey Bedchamber,
>■ Dear Madfam:
I am1 sorry that I did not ’ex
plain in my last tetter to you
why we do not have the proper
facilities ’to accommodate in our
Village the former aristocrates
of GrOSs Point, Michigan.
First, our hotels do not have
an elevator for their second-
floor sleeping rooms. The Bar
ons are too heavy fropi bating
rich foods So tit is impossible for
Uheirri to use -the stairway; their
heairlt is ‘too weak. No wondier
they do not last too long.
Second, about our do citing fa
cilities, our Bayfield River is
either too narrow or the water
is • not deep enough for their
yachts, who took niore Jake the
Cunard Dine ship named Queen
Elizalbeth,
Tliitd, regarding our stoney
beach, their feet are too tender
as they do not do too much
walking, their Cadillacs picks
them1 -up -at the door and also
drops them to their destibiation
door and they are wearing pad
ded pigskin shoes. Also, our
sidewalks ate "not the golf-
course type for Smoothness; at
' toast they are hot like Don
Juan (my) fodL who did Wot
know as a youngster what shoes
were; for until later years; no
wonder they are tough) even
the glass has trouble to pene
trate, and the cohditioh at the
present time of the Bayfield
Beach suits him fine.
Sincerely,
DOK JUAN

200 Canadian paintings, ’the
magnificent hewn-log home that
houses them and the surround
ing property were donated to
the Province of Ontario ,last
November by Robert and Signe
McMidhael, Kleinburg is eight
een miles northwest of Toronto..
Assembling 'the collection has
been a labour. of. 'love ..for the
young couple* (Mr. McMichael
is a 44-year-old advertising ex
ecutive) and as unpaid curators of the ooilectian they will con-'
tinue to occupy the small suite
above the new Wing.
In the 12 years since they,
first began construction of Tap
awingo, the couple have played
host ito tens- of thousands of
visitors anxious to view the
collection, many of them young
sters from Toronto area schools.
In an open air ceremony at
tended by nearly 500 persons,
The paintings were given to the Province of
Ontario last November by Robert and Signe Mc
Michael.
Mr. Roberts expressed the deep
gratitude of the government
and" the people' of Ontario for
the generosity of the Mc
Michaels.
Following . the ceremonies,
guests were taken cin a tour of
the home and colieption.
The collection and home are
open to the public from 1:00
to 5:00 p.m. Sundays. Children
under 12 are. admitted only on
pre-arranged weekday school
tours.
The collection, in, addition to
the more than 200 paintings
and sketches by Canada’s best-
known artists, contains many
artifacts and homey Items ' of
historic and cultural interest.
The McMichael assemblage
of paintings is the most com
prehensive collection hanging
permanently anywhere, includ
ing even the National Gallery
in Ottawa. And a noteworthy
feature IS that these paintings
hang lin a home setting, aS' in
tended by .their originators, and
that they- consist of an exclus
ively Canadian pioneer art form
with no other styles to disturb
the theme.
Part of the McMichael col
lection is made up of gifts from
Canadian art lovers. And now
that it is government-owned it
is hoped that other public-
spirited Canadians wilil con
tribute additional pieces, not
only to increase the collection
but to give them a permanent,
home.
Molded Salads,
Party Delight
Molded salads are favorite
guests at party buffets, Shim
mering with sparkling gelatin
or creamy with Lullt-dn dress
ings, ’the molded salads cap ‘be
made well ahead of the. party.'
The festive delights can be
shaped in- tall handsome molds,
rjngs, loaves -or individual con
tainers -and require . little last
minute attention.
• Don’t be afraid of unmolding
your molded salad. Creamy gel
atin salads are easily molded
When • the mold has first been
brushed ’ with , salad dressing,
For clear gelatin sdlads, 'brush
molds first With oil.' To Unmolid,'
unloosen .the mold by running
the tip pf a table knife around1
the edge. Quickly dip mold1 al
most to the rim in warm water.
Place a serving dish on top of
mold,' 'hold tight -and invert
quickly.
The knack is easy, The

The idea of name-changing*
has been' kicking around ■ hos
pital board meetings for several
years. It came into prominence
again When the board ordered
a new ambulance and someone
asked Ihow the lettering would
appear on the new vehicle —
the current name just Wouldn’t
fit.
Charles (Chuck) Birubacher
of Gold Line Conversions, St.

not to have the lettering placed
on ’the vehicle his firm is pre

John Britnell said the title re

“It Isn’t as simple as just
changing a name,” said Mr.
Britnell. "There could be legal
problems.”
He said the hospital could
lose bequests if 'the name was
changed. “This issue ’ might be
coming up before the end of the
year,” he said.

A meeting of Blyth Agricul

Owing to the fact the village
owns the grounds of the recte-
atibnal;centre, and fhie Agricul

Who will compete with all other
queens chosen in District ' 8.
Only stipulation to date is t^at
the contestant must have reach
ed her 16th birthday.
It was also decided to hold

struct. a concrete floor in the
booth.
Robert Marshall offered . to
paint the booth before the re
union lilf the society will supply
the paint, carried.
A refreshment cooler is also
being, purchased by the society.

I pests. Crickets, sowbugs, milli-
pedes,• and strawberry root
Weevils spend a considerable
part of the colder months in
and under the protection' of
Stumps, stones, fenceposts, and
other suitable hiding' places. Sb
late in the summer (these in

"Very few of these occasional
invaders Will cause any d'amage
to food, fabrics,' or people, but
they are unwanted guests”,,
states Ontario Department of
Agriculture and Food Provin
cial Entomologist Professor H.
W. Goble, Guelph, "Crickets are
an exception, however, since
they damage fabrics;
‘'Similar control methods ap
ply for all of these occasional
invaders”, Professor Goble ad
vises. “By caulking cracks
tightly, pests Will probably be
kept out-of the house, ibut spec
ial Stripping around, door sills
and windows may be necessary.
Check under the eaves for any
cracks, especially in one-storey
.houses. Many develop in decay
ing organic matter. If Sowbugs
and millipedes are a problem,
then leaves, wood, etc, should
be removed from window wells
and from. shrubs or flowers near
the "house. Residual (tong-last-
ing) 'insecticide, either as a dust
or spray, will act as a barrier
if it’s applied' around the prem
ises.- Check the label first
though. Many insecticides kill
plants, too.” •
'.Inside the house, Professor
Goble recommends using a va
cuum cleaner to trap success
ful invaders. Household aerosol
sprays, the type that spray
from a pushbutton can, will
kill the insects the spray hits.
Pyrethrum, piperonyl butoxide,
and methoxychlor' are compar
atively safe sprays to uisie^ but
homemakers should remember
that these have short-lasting
effects. Residual sprays of 5%
DDT or 2% chlordane are es
pecially valuable applied along
the baseboard, on window
frames, and door sills. These
can be applied With a garden
sprayer or paint brush. If child
ren Will be coming in contact
with the treated1 surface, how
ever, methoxychlor should be
used instead of DDT or chlor
dane.
