The other night � was busy gorging . myf
perch dinner down at the'Albion when a few familiar
faces popped into the dining r'ootnw
Being seated at the table next f was able to pick up
on the conversation and "listen up" long enough to
hear an amusing anecdote about Bayfield past.
1t seems that this young lady (a few years .back) was
inclined to go awin/ming off the pier with a group of_
her girlfriends. Now this is innocent: enough, but it
came to pass, at that same time there was a certain
contingent of local boys that xnade,k the river their
home during the summer months.
This group wasled by a young lad that went bythe
nickname of "Wiener" and they were prone to
misplacing the girls" clothing when they chanced upon
it, .From: this point the details were sketchy, but the
story . provoked a raucous round.- of laughter topped
only by the guffaws when she said, "Don't you dare
print this in the.pap,er."
Since I knew who this "Wiener" character was, I
'kept the• story filed in the back of my mind. It so
happened that I came upon another of these culprits at
the "Buckeye" celebration the next night -in Zurich,
When I happened to mention the incident the _ reat
roar of laug ter in • icate • is con irmation. Unfor-
tunately his wife was sitting next so his details were
kind of sketchy also, but one of these days I'm going to
getto the bottom of it.
That being that, I ' unearthed another piece of
historical trivia at a local function on Saturday night.
I was approached by a chap who said "You were
asking what happened to SS No. 8 in your column the
other Week?". Nodding my assent he continued to say,
"I know where it is!" Intrigued and caught up hook,
line and sinker I was,bound to listen further.
As this particular tale goes it seems that a large
stone bearing the letters SS. No. 8 used to stand on the
front of the old " public school. The old school was
closed in 1955 and torn down in 1956 so I really can't
say I remember this "artifact" because my
own school days didn't start until 1957. However, it's a
sure bet to say that almost everyone that ever at-
tended class in the old building (Which was erected in
1862) should remember it since they had to walk by it
every day for years.
Now, when the building was torn down some of the
timbers and 65,000 old bricks were hauled to Goderich
and built into a house. But the question her is "what
happened to the marker stone?"
Well we boarded his truck and took off and reaching
our destination! there she..,.w.as..hig_as_life.__S.orthe.,was.-
right all along. SS No. 8 is still in Bayfield and it only
takes two minutes to get there!
Our last paragraph this week is about as dismal as
the weather and .could be entitled "Who Killed Cock
Robin?". -..
Last Friday evening two idiots, in a -car were
proceeding along a village street. The car halted in
front of a house and .with the people watching out their
front window, the two took it upon themselves to
produce a gun and shoot a robin on the front lawn.
Laughing like hyenas, they then continued their tour
of the town presu-mably searching for more victims. If
this is any indication of their mental aptitude, (and
their identity is known) they need not"`returfi to
Bayfield for their -weekend flings.
So we don't leave you on a downer this week I'll ask
the following question. "If Jimmy Reid,saved the seed
,then who cuts the grass on Walton's Mountain?

means "My God my God,
why hast Thou forsaken
me?" was read by Philip
Du Boulay. The second

include the "Word",
Today thou shalt be with
me in Paradise."

barrassment this may
have caused.

much time ,giving our
