BAYFIELD—Under- the aus
pices of its recreation. commit
tee, chaired by Menton Merner,
Bayfield plans to improve ■ its
arena by adding washrooms,
dressing rooms, and a large
committee .room complete with
stage; increase the skating area
and even 'have a modest kitchen
to provide for community
lions;
A heated area behind
will provide spectators'
much needed comfort during,
winter events.
Roller Skating
In recent months the roll
arena committee has been most
active and has provided over
100 pairs of roller skates from
size 1 to 11, and a refreshment
booth. It has also purchased a
record player\to provide music.
A hearty and happy crowd
turns out to enjoy the new
Sport of roller skating at the
arena each Weekend/
In addition to the facilities
planned, the recreational dom-
mittieo is puridhasihg a nhiw tee-
making machine and '1st is hoped
that bynext Winter natural ice
will no' longer be needed here.
Funds Drive
It is proposed to raise $15,000
solely by public subscription, to
defray the entire cost, includ
ing purchase of the “icenmak-.
er.” Volunteer labour by men
of all trades and an anticipated
grant will contribute greatly in
keeping costs down to a level
which would otherwise appear
impossibly high/
All contributions for the pro
ject will be tax. deductible for
personal income tax returns; of-
. facial receipts will be. issued in
with" every instance as soon as the
registered number '’idf the pro
ject is received from the De
partment of National Revenue,
Ottawa. ' i .
The, fund, raising' campaign
is under way and the objective
func-
glass
is expected to be reached at an
early , date.
A’ large “thermometer” will
be erected in Clan Gregor
Square to keep everyone in
formed as the fund swells. It
is1 also intended that ah arch
itect's sketch of the completed
arena shall be prominently dis
played on Main Street.
All donations should be made
payable to Bayfield Community

During, a discussion concern
ing the erection of posts 'around
the park, councillor Jack Stur
geon pointed out that they would
only keep out cars and that 'the
'Picnicking area would still be.
traversed by ponies 'and motor
cycles. It was generally agreed
that the best way of determin
ing the feeling of the residents
would be to start digging holes
and erecting poles. The poles
Which are already on hand are
to be cut into six-foot lengths
and the “oar-\fence” Will then
be started.
Councilor. Menton Merner
asked council to consider what
accrue to all since it would im
prove existing drainage. He ex
pressed the views that a con
siderable advantage would
corue to all since it would im
prove septic tank efficiency by
getting rid of s.urface water 'and
Would also reduce the danger
of pollution of shallow welis.

Reeve. Frank .McFadden, in

Community Centre Arena is to
be assumed Wholly by Rayfield
at the request of Stanley Town-
Ship Who 'at present hold the

L will consist. of at least three

■ I age ratepayers. It was resolved
: “that the Bayfield Community

and receiving'funds for the' de
frayment of costs incurred ' in
building an addition, to the

Councillor Merner, • Chairman
of the Recreation Committee,
said that deficit financing would
not be considered; hie reported
that although. the official fund-
raising campaign has not yet
been started, over $800 has al
ready been received. He said
that, as a result, footings tor.
the addition to the arena have
already been poured and block-

nesday, May 3.
“As soon as the nelw addition
has1 a roof and ground floor it
will be possible to move to the

and added that the entire pro
ject will proceed to stages as
and when funds are available.
Reeve McFadden said that
since the arena addition Will
also serve as a civic auditorium
it will qualify for departmental
