We will endeavour to settle
down to putting a column
together after spending the past
three weeks holidaying and
travelling, Part of our holiday
was spent in Watrous, Saskat-
chewan, where we attended
Walter's parents' Golden Wed-
ding Anniversary celebrations
on Sat, Aug. 10.
Our son and his wife, Rob
and Sheryl Irwin accompanied
us on our trip along with our
three young ones, Andrew,
Luanne and Lydia, who also
took part in their grandparents
anniversary as junior atten-
dants for the Renewal of Vows
Service in Our Redeemer's
Lutheran Church, Watrous,
Sask. This was followed by a
family dinner for 43 in the
Church parlors and an open
reception and dance in the
Royal Canadian Legion Hall in
the evening,
One of the highlights of the
celebration was the reunion of
Mrs. Erickson's,(senior) sisters
and brothers who had not been
together for more than 45
years. More than 100 relatives
attended from all over the
Canadian West as well as the
U.S.A.
While in Watrous we also
called Mrs. Will Allin, the for-
mer Flossie Atwood of
Bayfield, Her relatives and
friends will be pleased to hear
, she is feeling well and still very
interested in her old home
town. We asked her if she had
any messages to send back to
Bayfield and she said "Yes, tell
all my relatives and friends to
get on out here to Watrous to
visit me."
For those who are interested
in the grain crops in the West,
we noticed that they did not
look all that good. The grain is
very short, not more than a foot
high, and the yield very poor in
most sections; hence the straw
will be at a premium this fall.
If our western farmers com-
plain this season, we feel they
have a legitimate beef. There
has been so much rain in the
west that the sloughs are full to
overflowing. The mud hens are
'in abupdance, and one wester-
f4,ner told us they are absolutely
no good for eating, and de not
fly, all summer. They fly into
the sloughs in the spring and
moult and when one slough
dries up they walk to the next
one, In the fall they have their
feathers back and fly away,
Whether• this is a true story or
not, the westerner surely soun-
ded convincing.
In Towner, North Dakota, we
met a gentleman, his wife and
daughter Nancy. This gen-
tleman has a newspaper
around Ottawa, is a member of
the C.C.N.A., and knows Bob
Shrier, Sorry Bob but we can-
not remember his name.

We have heard of old tires,
car bodies, rubber boots and
even fish being found in farm
ponds; but on Sunday evening
while family and friends of Mr.
and Mrs. Gary Potter near
Holmesville were enjoying a
corn roast and when they
decided to take a' swim they
discovered a safe in their farm
pond. The OPP investigated
and called Glen Price with his
wrecker to retrieve the safe,
Upon bringing it to the surface,
they discovered the bottom had
been blown out. At time of
writing, the OPP were still in-
vestigating the find,
There was an attendance of
30 at the annual meeting of the
Bayfield Area Bluebird Society
held on Monday August 19,
Philip Du Boulay outlined
the progress in bringing the
bluebirds back to the area.
There were no nestings in 1970
and in 1974 there were 39
nestings with 161 eggs and 82
young fledged. Mr. Du Bouley
had visual aids to acquaint the
group with the 1974 results,
Maps of the county showing
bluebird trails of boxes with
coloured pins marking the ac-
tual nesting sites. The road
from Bayfield to Varna had the
best production.
The young people of the
Sweep program built and erec-
ted 100 boxes in Stanley town-
ship last year. Dan Wilson
working with the Ausable-
Bayfield Conservation
Authority directed the work
and arranged for the checking
of the boxes this year.
With the aid of a grant
provided under the New
Hotizons ,progratn.„ a4oup of
retirees last winter Wilt 350
nesting boxes. The ,,Bayfield
council provided space in the
Old Town Hall for the project.
Mr. Reg York was in charge of
the work. Plans are under way
for building more boxes this
fall and winter.
Nesting losses have been
heavy. The only two nestings in
Hayfield village were lost to
cats. Future boxes near homes
will be raised on metal stakes.
Squirrels and coons. probably
can be blamed for the removal
of some young birds from nests.
A number of eggs proved infer-
tile. However the increase in
young birds flown is en-
courging.
Harvey MacDougal, chairing
the annual meeting, said he felt
they should make some changes
in the placing of boxes for next
year. The plan is to concentrate,
new boxes around this year's
successful nestings and placing
more boxes on farms, especially
where there are young people
who would be interested in
maintaining and checking the
boxes.
Tourists and visitors to the
area have found the bluebirds
of great interest. Mr. Johnston,
