S -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 19, 1 Y 1 L Helen Owen send ®oras Hinter Club h, s highest filen Owen Despite changes in lie weather and recent outbreak of influenza in the village, there was a good turn out for the annual general meeting of the Bayfield Garden Club. Retiring President, Jack Willock, welcomed the members, and secretary, Esther Wright gave a report on the year's activities. Highlights included the for- mation of a youth group, a donation of $11;,1 to the Fair Board, progress with the tree replacement program and Mara Street project, and beautification of the village with attractively planted and maintained flower beds and tubs. The treasurer reported a lance in hand of $200.07, a very creditable achievement in view of the ambitious and successful programs of the various committees. It was r..rticularly gratifying to note that membership had increased to 153 - the highest per capita rate of any group rio em m Ontario. The president then paid tribute to the secretary, treasurer and board of direc- tors, as well as the workers on various committees who had done so much to develop and consolidate the objec- tives of the club- Referring to the tubs and flower beds, Mr. Willock thanked those responsible, not only for the initiation processes, but for the regular maintenance. In particular, he said, thanks were due to Herb Beatty, Harold Beakhust, John Marks, Harvey McDougall, Kay Reid and the Rev. and Mrs. George Youmatoff. Mr. Willock also thanked Doris Hunter and Dora War- wick for their work on the Garden Walk, which he said, now seemed to be establish- ed as an annual event. Ap- preciation was also in order for Dorothy Hovey and her group who continued with work on the Mara Street, Wild Flower Sanctuary. On behalf of the membership, EVERY SIX MPIS.

For publicity coverage thanks were offered to Jessie Blair, Joyce Seaman, Mrs. Hunter and Helen Owen. Commenting on the Youth Program, under the leader- ship of Rosemary Crosthwaite, it was en- couraging to learn that the group now held monthly meetings; had taken first prize for their float at the Fair and were responsible for tulips planted in the Main Street triangle. Members were requested to come up with suggestions and assistance in the develop- ment of future programs. Considerable progress had been made with the replace- ment tree planting program for Clan Gregor Square. In this connection Mr. Wilcock made particular reference to the unstinting help and co- operation which the club had received from Rick Penhale, the road superintendent. Mrs. Hunter then took over the chair, and the slate of Of- ficers for 1983 was presented and accepted as follows: Brucefield honor Mrs. ; y bs het Scott The Brucefield IOOF held a euchre party on Frill y evening.

In the absence of the new president, Mr. Beakhust took over the meeting, and called the executive's first meeting for 27th January, when appointments would be made to fill vacancies on the various committees. He was sorry, he said that Mr. Beat- ty was not present, but look- ed forward.to learning of his plans when he returned to Bayfield. Finally he en- dorsed the remarks made by previous speakers regarding the club and its activities, and the meeting was ad- journed. Refreshments were served by Mrs. Youmatoff and Mrs. Beakhust.

(George Chapman photo) Villagers looking forward to inn's open house By Doris Hunter "Morning lights the sky", a little earlier each day now, and the reassuring sound of Rick Penhale's snowplow at five a.m. is a good alarm clock. C.Y. Currelly, one of Ex- eter's more famous sons, and really the founder of the Royal Ontario Museum, writes in his fascinating book, "I brought the Ages Home" that in all probabili- ty, the manna from Heaven, was in fact a rare snowstorm in the desert. Fundamen- talists would argue this point, but the snowmobilers and cross country skiers cer- tainly regard it as such. They tell me The Little Inn can arrange the rental of ski equipment of their guests, Co surely an inducement for winter visitors. Villagers are looking for- ward to the Open House, at the new Bayfield Inn on Highway 21. The Pounder family is planning a very pleasant affair, more about it next week. One of the many kindly things the Grahams did for the village, when they operated their general store, was to arrange for flowers to go to funerals of local residents. Individuals gave a nominal sum towards this and a card with a list of names was sept to the mour- ning family. This fine custom has been revived and is being handled by Donalda Sturgeon with the approval of the management of the Nip and Tuck Variety store. A supple and pleasant way of expressing sympathy as a community. The Church Family of St. Andrew's United are to have a very enjoyable family skating party on Saturday evening January 22 from 8 to 10 p.m. The ice time at the Arena has been arranged by two anonymous members and there will be traditional hot chocolate and cookies afterwards in the church hall. This is an affair to which all ages in your filthily are invited to participate. What could be more fun and so near Robbie Burns day too, for a church named for Scotland's patron saint. The congregation too is looking forward to the an- nual winners' dinner to be held on February 15 at 6 p.m. in the church parlours. We're glad to report that John Lindsey should be home from his hospital stay this Thursday. The Bangkok flu can make its way back to whence it came, now that we have not only Canadian weather, but the return of our wandering prime minister. Rumour has it that the house of the Fowlie family, known recently as the Bayfield House, and one of the few frame houses built by what are called folk ar- chitects, remaining unspoiled in the village, will become an antiques and art store. It sounds very promis- ing. my teachers learn French in Bayfield Twenty-five French teachers from the elementary and secondary schools of Huron County spent January 15, in a day of French immersion at the home of Donald and Fllorence Keillor. The activity sponsored by the Department of Con- tinuing Education of the University of Western Ontario was a first for the University and a first for Bayfield. U.W.O. conducts "same•I's francais" sever.' times a year at Spencer Hall in London, but this was the first time such an event had taken -place off campus. The purpose off such a day is to allow people who have infrequent ops rtunities to speak French and who wish to improve their facility in that language to spend a day immersed in French culture and language. To act as "animateurs" and provide leadership, Western enlisted the help of M. Phil Charrette from the French Secondary School, L'Essor, at Windsor; Mme. Antoinette Monette, con- sultant in the French program and M. Pierre Monfils, a music teacher in the French program of the Separate School Board of Essex County. All three expressed pleasure at the reception they received and it was almost a homecoming for M. Charrette whose parents live at St. Joseph. The "samedi" began with a sing -song after which the group s'hided into three sections for the morning. One group read and lI scussed "Le Rempart", the weekly French newspaper published in Windsor; another engaged in discussion of current French-Cana/!'an culture; while the third played Euchre, in French! After a pot -luck lunch, the entire group went for a walk around Bayfield before spending the afternoon in their groups, rotating the morning's activities. To end the day, another sing -song was held and all went home feeling that the "same.' francais" had been a most worthwhile as well as an enjoyable experience.

His subject, illustrated by slides, will take the form of an informative presentation on Heritage Conservation Funds Programs. In view of the recent bylaw approved for parts of Main Street, Clan Gregor Square and Elgin to be designated as Heritage areas, the topic should be one of particular interest to Bayfield residents, and will provide an opportunity to learn the real facts based on Mr. Dilse's considerable ex- perience. His research dates back to 1977 when he published a paper on Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Com- mittee Activities in Ontario. Since that time he has work- ed exclusively on projects related to Heritage Con- servation. Apart from con- siderable research he has made valued contributions in collating material, pro- viding practical advice and professional knowledge to communities where the con- servation of heritage has become an important con- sideration. Apart from his academic qualifications, his ex- perience has grown with his involvement in the investiga- tion and preparation of ad- visory material for the City of Brantford Heritage Com- mittee and the City of Cam- bridge LACAC. His knowledge encom- passes, not only architec- tural aspects, but is reinforc- ed by his familiarity with provincial legal and finan- cial policies, and their im- plementation. Over the years his work has required close liaison with govern- ment departments at all levels, and currently he is Consultant to the Ontario Ministry of Culture and Citizenship. The Historical Society always welcomes guests to its meetings, and this excep- tional occasion offers a uni- que opportunity for village residents to ask questions and seek clnrifficatiolr oto matters of concern to the village and its future. Euchre club begins season The Bayfield Euchre Club started the 19`I season with 26 players.
