(dews -Record photo) Historical Society hear about Styles in the village The speaker at the .Bayfield Historical Society meeting on Monday night was 'Mrs. Doris Hunter, a long-time summer resident of Bayfield. More recently, upon retirement of Dr. Rob • Hunter, the ,couple moved fromToronto to make the village their permanent home. Doris was introduced by Lois .Lance, who stressed the valuable contribution she had made to the social life of the -village over the years. Her subject was "architectural styles .within the Village"; The photography used to illustrate her story was the work of Ernie Hovey. The projectionist was Lorne Bamford and the combined .effort pointed up the fact that Bayfield is indeed rich in - ar- chitectural history. • Doris recalled with a few nostalgic references, the history of the period during which each house was built, from the very old Marks house on Tuyll Street, built of brick and later covered with stucco - an example of pic- turesque eclecticism - Players present outdoor theatre The Prodigal Players is a group which is travelling throughout Ontario this summer as it tris to re -capture the spirit of the medieval troupes that travelled from community to community performing out -doors on a mobile stage, or "pageant wagon" as they were called. Their program states "We are convinced °that drama is an exciting and effective vehicle for both church worship and christian education. It is with this motivation that we bring you the Prodigal Players." It was a very chilly evening as the troupe put on their show with an audience of well over 100 in Pioneer Park on Wednesday evening last week. Children were quiet and obvsiously enjoyed the pantomim,e... with which the prosram began, but the beautiful evening became so cold Round about the village Mr. and Mrs. Harry Baker were visited 1 y Mr. James Pollock of Brandon and Mr. and Mrs. Wat , Webster._ of Clinton on'Sunday. The Rev. and Mrs. James Reddoch have returned . from visiting their son, Dr. Alton and his wife Mary in Whitehorse in the Yukon. While in Whitehorse, they took a thousand mile trip on the "Top of The World Highway'.' . which • is the furthest -north Canadian highway travelling east and west in Canada. They Ieddochs were away for six weeks. during which they motored to Calgary to visit 'their younger son Graham and his wife Betty. Before flying to Whitehorse they travelled by motor -van to Jasper ;and Banff and attended the t Calgary , :Turn topage 11 after the sunset that the audience gradually thinned, as children became tired and adults were 'frozen' out. This is the troupe's first year and they have ac- cepted about 50 of the 70 invitations received including one from Bayfield. All the plays and most of the music are original with the com- pany, and the only money collected is the con- tributions• made at each show. The idea and the effort are to be com- mended. The young actors showed talent as did the singing minstrel. Village, churches co- operated in the presen- tation. Since there is no lighting in the Park, the Rev. W. Bennett was busy arranging for a hook-up the day before. St. Andrews United ;Church Women provided dinner for the players.: and the true country Gothic house with its, beautiful silvered siding where Albert—Woods lives, to the newer homes of Mr. and. Mrs. Ross Merrill and Mr. and Mrs. Doug Ball. • - An interesting contrast -was that of the charming 1890 frame home of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Fitzsimons, with the new modernistic home of their son Terry, built by Mr. and Mrs. Norm Rivers some years ago. The speaker suggested taking closer looks at churches. She pointed' out special features of Trinity Anglican - a century and. a quarter old and St., Andrews United. "Look at it more closely. It's got everything". Her ac- count 'of how the village became blessed with five churches led to the -~comment "There was no neglect of souls in Bayfield." This was a first-rate paper, skilfully prepared with very apt comments on the styles : of the 40 Bayfield buildings por- trayed by word and picture. When I com- mented that there were a couple of places I did not recognize, Doris replied that one objective of the exercise had been to make us all scrutinize buildings more carefully than heretofore. It is to be hoped that the Historical Society will find ways and means to preserve this valuable documentary of the village's valuable ar- chitectural assets. Words alone or pictures alone would fail to convey the impression which only the combination of both can achieve. The .final act of the Bayfield Archve•s Association upon dissolution was a Visit on Wednesday last week to the Wellington County Museum and Archives • building between Elora and Fergus. It was established five years agon a fine old aban- doned building,ut formerly. the County Home and it is now part of a building complex which houses a new library building. It is owned and operated by the County and is ob- viously . a well-planned and smoothly -running operation. The Archives quarters are in the basement, and the archivist, Cindy Clow, described the cataloguing system, which is very complicated, involving several sets of cards for as many files on a single ,object, . such as a photograph. The system assures quick location of an object.
