Zurich won 8-2.(Bud Sturgeon photo) HAYFIELD by Bud Sturgeon and Helen Owen BUS Council winds up term by Heleti Owen The Village Council met on November 3. Mr. Asch approached council with a proposal regarding the installation of a culvert on his property. Council agreed to inspect the site and "give an opinion before the end of the 'month. Councillor Pemberton informed council that -a re -deployment of the nursing staff meant that the November session of the Bayfield Clinic was being postponed until December. Correspondence • received included an appeal from the Ontario Humane Society. This outlined the work in- volved in- dealing with unwanted and abandoned dogs and cats. Apart from efforts to increase public awareness of the responsibilities of ownership, the Society also carried a heavy financial burden in ' connection with surgical sterilization procedures. New methods were being researched by the Society covering- fertility control and Council agreed to contribute the sum of $15 to -wards- this type 'of research. Support was' requested for the continuation of the Community Services Program related to Neighborhood Improvement Plans. The federal government had indicated that such projects should be removed from provincial control and in fact, might well be one of the programs to be cut in the near future. However, before making any decision the Clerk was asked to obtain more detail. The Clerk advised ---council _-that the outstanding balance of $1,000 had now been received from the Ontario Heritage Fund. Anglican u church news The Reverend Bennett officiated at the Com- munion and Mattins at Trinity Anglican Church on Sunday, followed by Holy Communion at St. James in Middleton. Then in the afternoon he baptised Sally Rae, the Infant daughter of Andrew and Veronica Sturgeon. Next week the board of management will be meeting in the Parish Hall and on Thursday the ACW ladies will hold their monthly meeting at the home of Mrs. Lilian Beakhust - and to bring y. with them a copy of a favourite recipe. Following the Cenotaph Service in Clan Gregor Park on Sunday, November 9, Cubs, Scouts, Brownies and Guides will parade to St. Andrew's Church. The accompanying letter. stated that it was hoped council would work towards the completion of the Heritage Plan, as well as make particular ef- forts to encourage public interest and education. Additional copies of the Bayfield plan requested by the business people had not been received to date and a reminder was. to be sent to the ministry of culture and recreation. Applications to fill the vacancies of Clerk - Treasurer and Road Superintendent were still coming in, and will be reviewed at a special meeting of council so that recommendations could be made to the incoming council who would be responsible for making the fikial'eleti+h... A complaint had been received regarding Long Hill driving hazards. It • was recommended that this matter should be referred to the incoming council for a , decision since it might involve the passing of a new bylaw. John Siertsema reported • to council on- the - affairs of the. Community. Centre Board. There had been increasing use of the facilities, which, although they had involved some initial additional ex- penditure, were proving very popular. The Lions and Lioness continued to provide the Arena with unfailing financial support. Council had an op- portunity to ask questions regarding the ad- `ministrat.ive arrangements and replying to these Mr, Siertsema expressed the satisfaction of the board with the work of the manager who had un- dertaken these' respon- sibilities. 4At the conclusion of the -meeting, Mr. George Fellows, the in -coming Reeve, said that awareness of the enor- mous contributions to village affairs made by the present Reeve and Clerk were much ap- preciated. On behalf of his fellow Councillors he hoped that guidance regarding take-over procedures would be made available to them. He was assured that appropriate information as well as the co- operation of the present Clerk and Reeve would be fully extended to assist them in their future tasks. A busy place Always one of the businest places in the village, it seemed even more so last week, when the librarian Mrs. Maud Weston was collecting figures of attendances and telephone enquiries, in connection with a survey being carried out by the Huron County Library. Commenting on the good-'rculation which the library enjoys, Mrs. Weston had recorded 1,600 books circulated during the month of October. But the other facilities available are obviously much appreciated., such as the popular Story Hour session on Tuesday mornings. Last week, in- particular, with a Hallowe'en theme, 23 children arrived for a story - and another 20 mother ' • . • . .

Bayfield Historical Society had a wonderful opportunity to learn something of con tennporary history on Monday, October 28 when Miss Barbara Holt, a Red Cross nurse i elated something about her recent work in Thailand. Introduced by Dr. Shepherd, who had known her all her life, his thumb -nail sketch of her career gave an indication of • her training and travels. Her latest adventure came about as a result of volunteering for overseas . service with the Red Cross. When the call came. Miss Holt found herself with. only a few days in which to settle all her own affairs and prepare to leave for Thailand. She described her arrival in Geneva, where with teams from Den- mark, Finland, Sweden, Germany, France and two Canadians, two days were allowed for briefing - and then they were off to Bangkok. From there they travelled by road to the first of the refugee camps at Sa Kaeo, and here for two weeks they began to learn something about the tasks ahead. No uniforms were equired ' in thiss env' onment where limited laundry facilities and he high temperature reduced personal needs to the minimum. White: cottoti shirts and jeans became the uniform of the camp workers. Describing her first id pressions of the camp, Miss dolt told of the swarms of under- nourished' children and the young mothers en- deavouring to breast feed their infants. These were the top priority groups. Families were ac- commodated in small plastic houses in which the camp workers were obliged to crawl on hands and knees to obtain ad- mittance. Com- munication was through interpreters, but in spite of these difficulties, Miss Holt never be impressed by the courtesyhad and hospitalityfailedto of the refugee families who survived with tremendous courage. After the initial period, the groups of workers moved on to Khaoidang, where they found themselves within 15 kiiometr s of the border - and the fighting. However, they were not concerned with military casualties but with the establishment of a refugee camp in so-called `de -militarized' zone. In this area the refugees came from all over - Cam.bodia, Laotia, Vietnam and b.aigon. Organization' Was the priority and in no time at all Miss Holts 'found herself unloading trucks, master charge 1K I.l(11411 G10 t, Wtt nIll . buses, and stretcher's, gruelling work in inadequate conditions. Supplies of food were available and this had to be distributed,as well as the setting up :of a dispensary to deal with immediate needs. • After a while, it was possible to open an emergency department, and: here, under the most primitive conditions, some hundred cases were dealt with. However, during the time that Miss Holt was there the camp enlarged until some one hundred and ten thousand people were being ac- commodated in this tent city. To meet the needs, three medical, one pediatric, one obstetric arid one `1'13 ward were established. Later\ a German team supplied a first class, well equipped operating theatre together with a pre- operative and post- operative ward. Autoclaves, X ray and laboratory facilities were added and enabled the teams of doctors and nurses to extend their professional skills. An out-patient department was established to deal with a 'variety of tropical diseases and the ever present problem of malnutrition. No medical treatment had been available to most of these people during the past five years, other than the witch doctor's treat - MEN`S-BOYS'-LADIES'-GIRLS' AND BABIES' WEAR -YARN GOODS - FABRICS -SEWING MACHINE -GROCERIES *Men's Wear *Children's Wear *LadiEs' Wear *Infants' Wear *Rubber Boots *Shoes meats Miss Holt could not help but become aware of the dreadful plight of the refugees who, she said, were not encouraged to Move out to other countries, particularly as the • population of Thailand, some seven million in 1970, had now been reduced to half that. During the question period, the audience learned that Miss Holt and her fellow workers' had eaten local food, worked long hours • and learned to cope without sophisticated drugs, equipment and dressings. Although initially she had gone for three months; this, period was extended for a further six weeks and there was no doubt that should a further opportunity occur, Miss Holt would not hesitate to accept. She had found that the insoluble problems of the refugee 14AGE 11 communities in no. way diminishopl the en- thusiasmi f'. the workers,. some of who mhad screed in similar circumstances in many other troubled. areas.
