President Jim Garrett -called order to a good cross section of taxpayers who are interested in the welfare of Bayfield. Reeve Ed Oddleifson gave a most comprehensive report on every aspect of the council's activities for Bayfield. Highlights covered: The fact, that the village mill -rate did not increase but the county and school rate did by 12, an one mill respectively; the village has no debts whatsoever and is operating within the budget; all presently used roads will be paved soon; senior citizens' housing, drainage, the official village plan, policing and the land fill site were covered and all appear to be fairly trouble free. - Stray dogs, the ' annual problem, were discussed and the London Humane Society spending one -day each week picking up dogs not tied up by their owners. "Busiest harbour on Lake Huron" is the way our harbour . was described. Docking facilities for 230 boats is available with : additional 40 to 50 docks being readied for use. Erosion reared its head for quite a discussion as to the best approach for control, which is a very expensive proposition. One item of special interest was the village survey defining the roads and lanes. No im- mediate changes are an- ticipated, and best of all news, there will be no increase in the taxes to cover the - cost of this , survey. Three subdivisions arebeing negotiated, readied and developed. They will ensure the growth of the village in a fashion as envisaged by tax- payers. A swimming pool by- law will be in effect by next summer. The Agricultural Grounds are being developed by the Lions Club. To date, both soccer and baseball are played there and rumour has it that tennis courts- are next on the agenda. • Information to be received from Hamilton will- be a guideline to the preservation of buildings with historical significance.

United Church was - delighted with the dispy - of milts and interesting and in- formative nformative talk given. by Mrs. Dort Lance. • Nis. Lance has been collecting and studying antique textiles and quilts for many years. She brought, over thirty quilts from her home in Troy, Michigan, and used these to 'illustrate her fascinating talk entitled "The Garden ofEden". She showed how the early settlers used their scraps of material to make beautiful quilts, many of them with a religious theme worked into the design. For example, one pattern used by the settlers waste-. called the "Cross and Crown", another "The Star of. Bethlehem". Even the pr i nitive "Log Cabin" pattern made out of very- old scraps of cloth always had a little patch of red in it -- signifying the hearth as the centre of home and family life. She explained that piecing a quilt was a skill that the early settlers learned when they were very young girls -- perhaps starting at the age of three. She had old catalogues on display - with prices for the inner layer of cotton as .low as 29' cents for an entire quilt. To add to Mrs. Lance's display, many Bayfield residents brought quilts from • their own homes. Mrs.. Margaret Mayman brought a very old one made by her grandmother. - Mrs. Vivian Morton brought a coverlet that had been used in her family as early as 1820 This had a very intricate design in the quilting to make the pattern. This contrasted with a modern one made by Mrs. Jessie Blair where again the quilting made the pattern. Other lovely guilts sorne very old some very ntew, were brought in by Mrs. • Grace Duggan, Mrs. Doris Hunter. "Mrs. Lulu Scotchmer, Mrs. Mary Weston, Mrs. Darns Westlake and Mrs. Mildred Merrill. • In all, there was a breathtaking exhibit of 57 quilts. The committee in charge of this 'meeting consisted of Mrs-; Betty Burch. Mrs. JessieBlair, Mrs. Jean Bell and Mrs, Vivian Morton. The entire proceeds from the silver collection are to be used - for St. Andrew's Church activities. Mrs. Vivian Morton thanked Mrs. Lance for her splendid talk and asked her to accept the beautiful flower 'arrangement which Miss Doreen McKenzie had made for this occasion. The Old Town Hall was completely full and everyone caught Mrs. Lance's en- thusiasm as she talked about the quilts. The beatitiful quilts covered all the wall spaces, the stage and the gallery front board and everyone had the opportunity to walk around and closely inspect these treasures. We would like to again say thank -you to Mrs. Lance for all the time And effort she so graciously gave to us and for the many interesting glimpses into the past she so ably described as she talked about her quilts. During the refreshment period the guests were able to talk with Mrs. Lance and get a closer look at her long dress and jacket which she made for this meeting out of log cabin patterned cotton, and to admire the perfect match of the roses that Mrs. Mildred Merrill had made into a corsage for the guest speaker.
