Orr of $ , president of the Perth Historical 'Suety; ealled at- tention to ythe Bay x14 Cen- tennial in 1976; and t of the vmious surveys of the older Bayfield buildings and of the Provincial Bill 196, which helps municipalities delay destruction of historic buildings for limited time. ;She then called on Ethel Poth for a brief account of the early" days of Remitter. Mrs. Path told of .the first settlers and the business they conducted. ,This information came from the notes of Mr. J.N. McLaren who retired to that - -community some years ago. The first cabin 'was built by Michael Fisher in 1831 who, five years later, had a stone house erected. It is still standing. Benjamin Miller was one of the first settlers and," since the bridge over the Maitland River was near his property it was called the Ben Miller Bridge, Later the two names were put together to make Benmiller. As with all early villages, the community was almost self- sufficient, elfsufficient, having a carpenter, a tailor, blaEksmiths, hotels, stores, mills; a lime -kiln. and other necessities of that- day. The area was suitable for fruit growing so many of the fauns had an orchard which added to their food supply. Mr. Jim Layfor of Detroit and Bayfield was then in- troduced-.. ' He setup both a movie projector, (with- sound track) and a slide projector. In keeping with the president's report on the architectural survey, he showed• the film, "Architecture in Canada." produced for the Department of External Affairs with .Barbara Lambert:as commentator. The bea :ttifu1 old architecture of Ottawa and other cities was shown and contrasted with the modern functional design. This was a most interesting and informative film: VILLAGE S Dr. and Mrs. J.T. Leong of Independence, Missouri, and nephews Russell; Kelly and Randy of Honolulu. Hawaiian Islands, visited with Mr. and Mrs. LeRoy Poth and Mr. and Mrs- Lloyd Makins from Wednesday to Monday. This was a particularly enjoyable reunion as in 1964 Dr. Leong had attended the Makins and the Poth's at the Hospital in Gallup, New Mexico after an automobile accident. He and Mrs. Leong had been most hospitable and kind while the car was being repaired so that the Poths and Makins could continue on to California: Mics. Lucy Desjardine, Detroit.

These slides were outstanding in tijeir cla ;city and Mrs. Layfor added to cheat with het' commentary. There were fascinating scenes -forst of the exterior as it appeared at that time and of the old door, and then °tthe bales of wool and of the machinery in operation. Swiss and German dyes were used and the wool was put through three times to get uniform colour. Next the carding machines were shown with the wool passing through, - them and the spinning machines with their many bobbins. Mr. Gledhill was seen holding a completed bobbin, forty of which were used for a blanket It was interesting to see the finished product gradually 'taking shape. After the blankets had been washed, they were dried upstairs. Many other parts of the mill were shown and then, as a fitting conclusion, Mr. Gledhill was seen sitting at his table which served for so many purposes. Next came slides of the buildings as it is today - a quiet retreat where people can live in beautiful surroundings or just go to dine. The exterior and the original artesian well, still flowing, were seen then the lounge with tables, and lamps made from parts of the old machinery, and in the bedroom 9- any items built with bits and pieces from the Machines that had served faithfully for so many years. Thus, the past is preserved for the future. Dr. Shepherd ably thanked all who had contributed toward the programme and especially Mr, and Mrs. Layfor who had shared their unique set of slides with those present. Refreshments provided by Mrs. Gift and her committee were enjoyed, along with a closer inspection of the blankets and pictures on display, and the usual pleasant chatting and visiting, OCiAL NOTES part of all Clintbnians to make it a real homecoming celebration.
