After the minutes of the pre­ vious meeting had been read and' approved; Mrs. F. A. Clift, president of the Bayfield Lib­ rary Association read!, the fol­ lowing: ‘ “Mr. Reeve and members of the council. Our-delegation rep­ resents the 'BoaYd of the Bay- field Library. .Association. Our purpose in coming before you this evening is to request your councir'to consider the estab­ lishment of a ■ Bayfield Public Library Board (to consist of the Reeve and three other members appointed by council). -We wish you .to know that our present nine “member Board is in favor of this actiori and voted at a recent meeting to hand over to the village all the assets of the present Lib­ rary Association to be admin- - istered By a new Bayfield Pub­ lic Library Board, which * we ask you to set up.‘ “This evening we should like to explain why we are ap­ proaching your council, and we are prepared to discuss it at length, and in detail. “If you agree to our proposal it will 'be. necessary for us to call a special, meeting-,of our association to 'obtain approval of our board’s proposed'action. Then we should supply you- with the necessary .form,-by­ law, Which after being, passed by you would establish a Bay- field Public Library Board. “You are- all aware, of course, that a Public Libraities. Act 1966, was passed' by. the Pro­ vincial Legislature last June as Bill 155. This new Act comes into force January 1, 1967. Ac-,' cording to this Act the Library Association will be dissolved onj that date and, their 'assets and liabilities become the property of the Midwestern Library System. By transferring our assets to a Bayfield Public Library Board such assets would re­ main under village control. Moreover Section 50'of the'new Act says: ‘Every library board shall operate arid maintain a library as a branch in each local municipality that operated a public library prior to the date upon which that munici­ pality became part of the County library system". This action would appear to guaran­ tee a library in Bayfield if we, are a public library prior to the new Act going into force, and if the county library sys­ tem is voted in by County Council. If the county library system is not voted in for next year, then as a public library we would be able- to carry on much as before tinder -the Hur­ on County Co-operative Lib­ rary. “To save-time in our pre­ sentation and to provide the in­ formation you need to make your decision I should like ’ to call on Mrs. Robert -Scotchmer, c-ur secretary, and Mrs. G. N. Rivers; treasurer, to -present figures on (a) membership and circulation; (b) our assets; (c) our financial statement for 1965.” Mrs. R. Scotchmer then gave the library statistics for 1965. Subscribers 254, books on shelves 3,000, circulation 4,600 The treasurers report given by Mrs. Rivers showed a bal­ ance carried1 forward at Jan­ uary 1, 1965, $429.92; member­ ships, $163.75; fines and paper backs $13.04; grants, $174.18; donations, $127.00; interest $13.66; miscellaneous, $33.73. Disbursiments:; bolok and sup­ plies,' $143.37; janitor and cleaning, $28.50; hydro, $24.28; fuel, $29.23; repairs to building, $41.81; heater and installing, $106,92; storm windows, $20,531 miscellaneous, $2.00. Leaving a balance carried over to 1966 of $558.64. In conclusion, Mrs. Clift said1: “The Board is almost of one mind in' favour of this Municipality ■ voting for the County Library System. How­ ever, we should like to defer firm-opinion untilr our Associ- •atdpn has considered the mat­ ter’ perhaps, next month, as a special meeting.” In answer to questions by council it was disclosed that the gross assets , of the Bayfield Library Association are about $5,000 and liabilities, nil. The Reeve who is a member of the County Library Committee of County Council said that if the County Library System is voted in by Huron County Council it appears that taxpayers will no longer pay membership fees but instead all taxpayers, will probably be subject to a mini-1 mum'increase of % mill in the’1 county rate. He added that he felt that-borrowers would gain substantially in the quality and choice of books available throughout the county. Councillor Sturgeon ‘asked for information regarding the terms of the lease of the land on which athe Library stands. He was told that .the lea'se is valid and paid for until 1974, with an option on ah extension for-a further ten years. Council passed a' resolution stating that ' 'Bayfield Village Council assures, the Bayfield Library Association that if- the Association formally requests the Council to set up a Bayfiefcl Public Library Board and transfers to the village, thd as­ sets of the Bayfield Library As­ sociation, this- council will pas's the necessary by-law to effect iit”. Other Business In. other business, Council heard that an offer has been made . to remove dbad wood from Clan Gregor Park. An in­ spection of roads js to be made by Councillor M. Merner with regard to the winter works prop­ gram. Council authorized the purchase of a wreath for Re­ membrance Day Service., Councillor E. Oddleifson re­ ported that eight four-foot, two-tube, fluorescent street lights have been ordered and should be installed within two or three weeks. They will be in­ stalled from Clan Gregor Park to Bayfield Terrace, Other street lights are to be installed on Dow Street, Delevan Street, and one on the south pier to replace one which Tom Castle is presently supplying. '• ' There was some discussion on the recent community ef fort concerning the cleaning up of the north pier. Mrs'. L. R. Maloney said that she had been asked to speak on behalf of a group of ladies who Wished to proivdie some form of activity for their children in the,spring, summer and fall. A project in mind was roller skat-' ing. To raise fundls for this and any other young people’s pro­ jects, the group,would request free Use of the1 village hall for card parties etc. — Council noted that there is a by-law prohibiting the free use of the hall ibut that they were in fa-' your of additional youth activit­ ies and would! return the fee paid, .as a donation. fo Ruscombe on Sunday, .after spending .the weekend at their' cottage. t Mr. and MrSr W, P.arker, were in Toronto for the week- end. ■ Mr, and Mrs, Cliff Stewart and.

WOODS) "Black Squirrel" Teaches A Lesson In Safety and Resourcefulness There is a crash program of advertising-the new Ontario traffic rule of stopping, either meeting or' following a school bus wihen the lights are flashing.’ One hears it frequently over radio. Since there are so many school buses being driven around the country now, it probably is needed as a safety, measure for school children even if it does slow traffic. . Lucy recalls a railroad warning sign which read “Stop, Look and Listen”,. .She .was reminded’of.it last week by a.,-i most industrious black squirrel which is engaged in storing ' up walnuts for the winter'— and- incidentally planting the ■ bank on Bayfield Terrace with the same. •His activities first came-to “Mr.’s” attention when he suddenly dropped down off the bam roof near him. Black Squirrel dropped a<large nut in fright and scrambled up onto ■ the, roof again. “Mr.” cracked the walnut (thereby staining his' hands) and enjoyed a plump green kernel. Lucy iand (her spouse were interested to know where Black Squirrel was obtaining the nuts, so “Mr;” did some , . sleuthing. Up across the ridge of the bam the little black, 'animal went, 'then from limb to limb on the maple trees on ■ Earl Martin’s property until it came to a walnut tree on the northwest corner of the. lot. , . - . . It.butts the Charles Bell property and one would sup­ pose that the squirrel would take the more direct route. However, it -could be that the fox terrier “Mister”,'when visiting at the Bell home, has, given chase. , At any rate Black Squirrel follows a program of Safety 'First. He carries his lharvest by the barn route to the tall cedar hedge and diown the -east border. ” 'Sometimes, if there is no one about, he’ll go down the driveway. But when he leaves the protection of the hedge, he always sits up and listens. Likewise, when he.gets to the (gate or the end of the picket fence, 'he always sits up, looks first one way and then -the other, before crossing the road. •His mother must have’'trained him well! On Saturday afternoon, Lucy was sitting over by the east border observing the weeds. A friend joined her and they were chatting when Lucy looked up, and there was Black Squirrel sitting up under the pine tree, a few feet , inside the fence, sizing up the situation. There were two human beings monopolizing ihis runway! When he saw that he was being watched, he sauntered down the flower bed to the driveway and went via lit to his chosen route over the 'barn and through the trees. It would/be impossible to keep track of all the walnuts. Black Squirrel has carried that way. Apparently he is the only squirrel which travels' that -route. As Lucy sat there enjoying the balmy September day, she was surprised to see a sleek grey squirrel up in a spruce tree. She had not observed him in the garden, proper, this year, so no doubt he travels a route to', the east. - / ... Even cobs of com in the bird feeding station held no lure for either Grey or Black'Squirrel. Instead of spending , their time frivolously on the present with no thought of putting a bit by for the morrow, they work hard like the pioneers, to reap a harvest for the lean months .ahead. No socially-minded government will help them out in times of shortage! Perhaps if citizens depended more on their own-re­ sources and less on government grants “from cradle to the grave”, our country would not' be headed for inflation as it seems to be at present.
