ena was the Pioneer
*Park Rummage. Sale.
• Whe.n -the temporary
plywood. • doors were
opened at 8 pm, an
avalanche of prospective
purchasers poured in and
the annual bonanza was
under way. It is, in fact,
one of the major social
events . of the Bayfield
summer season!
The volunteer workers
had been busy all day
arranging their displays
as the wares piled up -
everything from the new
and shiny to the old and
decrepit. For a month,
the Association members
under the convener, Mrs.
Rosemary Crosthwaite
had been meeting to work
out the details. The
smooth operation on the
final day- justified 'their
efforts. Publicity con-
veners were Mr. and Mrs.
Sanchez and Mrs. Regan.
- The --crowd whLeh-turned-
up
eh-tu-r-ned-up was evidence of their
thoroughness.
Good humour prevailed
throughout the evening.
The clown circulated as
usual. The occasional
balloon burst to startle
those- nearby. Friends
stopped to chat as they
met. At the, plants and"
flowers table, the blooms
purchased for a .Sunday_ -
service were inad-
vertently sold to
somebody else. The
saleslady said "Don't
worry. . Come over
tomorrow and I'll cut.
another bouquet for the
church". Book sales were
the highest ever. Does
this relate ,to the high
price of gas?
At the receipt of sales,
Marie Watson, Pioneer
-'ark Treasurer, assisted
by•:E nie Hovey and -Len
Apedaile reported that
$1,600 was realized. The
Park Board is most
gratefuI to the donors of
the goods which made the
sale a success once again.
The proceeds will
enable the Park Board to
extend the gabions which
are building an ever -
widening beach below the
Park, to prevent erosion
above the primary
purpose. The reclaimed
beach' below is an added
benefit, Morgan Smith
says he counted 70 people
down there one • day
recently.
As I joined the villagers
strolling in the Park on
Sunday evening, I
thought of other, • hap-
penings there over the
years, many of them
recalledby the,historical
display in the Lances'
window last week. In 1953
there was a command
performance of
"Bayfield-o,n-the-
Bayfield:', to rival the
Shakespearean Festival
in the Park courtesy of
the Lions' Club, shown by
Al Galbraith was on
display. That year the
convener of the rummage
sale was Mrs. R.G.
Hunter. The Lambton
Youth Theatre Group has
put on shows there for
several years. There
have been band concerts,
children's art shows and
`paint -ins' sponsored by
the Park Board. There
have been ecumenical
church services -in the
park for many years on

if it were high noon.
There was a loud hissing

followed shortly by an

Baptism hel.dat
Baptist church
By Janet Talbot
At the Bayfield Baptist
Church Sunday evening,
two Christians were led
through the waters of
Baptism by the Pastor,
Rev. Les Shiel, in a
simple but very reverent
service. Mrs. Cathi
Cullen , sang the very
appropriate solo "I don't
know about tomorrow"
which ends with "I know
who holds my hand".
In his message the
pastor emphasized that
when a born again
Christian obeys God in
the ordinance of baptism'
he does know who holds
his hand. In the Bible
passage, Acts chapter 8,
verses 26 to 40 an angel
told Philip to go and he
obeyed willingly no
questions asked.
The Ethiopian, the man
Philip had been sent to
help, asked "What hin-
ders me to be baptised?"
and Philip- told him, he
must believe that Jesus
Christ is the Saviour of
the world.
So that Ethiopian was
baptised right there. To-
day there . is no dif-
ference. Same question
with still the same an-
swer.
The pastor closed his
message asking the
congregation "Where are
you to -night?" Each must
make a choice, each must
ask what will I do with
Jesus for 'one day each,
heart will be asking What
will 'Christ do with me,
Receive Christ as Saviour
to -day. Repent and be
--baptized.
