About 75 guests welcomed the new District Commissioner, Sylvia Brady from Goderich, and Inter- national Guider, Donna Wood from Clinton. Two Rangers, Margie Wise and Sharon East enlightened us in a most delightful fashion with regard to their newly -formed group in Clinton, and an- swered questions of special interest to our Guides in the 15-17 year age group. The whale movement entered the Church Hall in single file, led by the Brownies with the Guides and Pathfinders bringing up the rear. Jack Wi iodk and Mrs. Doris Reddoch presented the girls with tulip bulbs as a 'thank -you' for their co-operation in keeping Bayfield beautiful, and came with the compliments of the Bayfield Garden Club . Mrs. Brady expressed her pleasure at being invited to last week's memorable occasion, and Mrs. Wood explained what International Guiding is all about. Each one of us, she said, guide, pathfinder, brownie or guider is part of a movement 800,000 strong representing 102 countries. The two ladies were then presented with gifts by Charlene Porter, a long-time Brownie leader. She also expressed ap- preciation for the op- portunity they had been given to share the guiding experiences of the speakers, and for the encouragement they offered to the three groups present on this oc- casion. Highlight of the evening was the ceremonial part of the proceedings. Three new (Guiders) Pathfinder Leaders were enrolled by Mrs. Joyce Chilton - Joan Cluff, Grace Dollery and Elaine Dunn.

Historians le President Kay Reid welcomed a 'full house' to the October 26th meeting of the Bayfield Historical Society held in the Municipal Building. She also an- nounced that a picture painted by Mrs. Doris McDougall had been presented to the Society, which would later be raffled in order toswell the Archives Fund. When the. time comes there will, no doubt be many wishing to participate in this opportunity to acquire this delightful picture. The speaker for the evening was Andy Cormack, Reeve of Paisley. In her introductory remarks, Mrs. Gwen Peleiherton referred to several previous encounters at conventions and seminars, when members of the historical society had been most impressed by all he had to say. At last it had been possible to arrange for him to come to Bayfield, and -by coin- cidence, his talk on the conservation of Paisley, was being given at a time when Bayfield itself was planning to become involved in Heritage Canada. Paying tribute to the work and enthusiasm of Mr. Cormack, whose family had lived in Paisley for four generations, Mrs. Pem- berton expressed the hope that his listeners enjoyed not only what he had to say and show them, but appreciated this very practical account of the successful Paisley project. Mr. Cormack gave his listeners a brief account of thehistory of Paisley, which had been founded in 1851, and incorporated in 1874. The following year, 1875, it was' decided that a Municipal Building was required, and that same building had been used ever since to conduct the business of the town, as well as for social occasions. However, inevitably the condition of the building deteriorated over the years and consequently its use was limited, only the Council room and the Clerk's office being servicable. However, the building did have unique qualities and eventually a L.A.C.A.C. committee was formed and became only the third group to receive funds from the Heritage Foun- dation. Mr. Cormack's remarks were illustrated by slides, ane of the earliest pictures of the building being one taken in 1910. A large part of the restoration work involved the basement, the floor of which had to be lowered, a major excavation task, not tomention new walls, reinforcement and a staircase. Much of this was achieved through two work out Paisley grants obtained through the department of Labour. The project also provided work for unemployed labour. In contrast, the series of pictures taken after the restoration work had been completed provided a wonderful example of ways in which the original building had been modernized without losing anything of its main characteristics. The beautiful, curved top win- dows enhanced the light interiors,and the well ap- pointed washrooms to comply with present day standards, emphasized the practical aspects of the work. Of particular interest was the auditorium where the original floor; restored and polished added a further dimension of light and space. In this room, too the original electric light fittings retain the atmosphere of an earlier day. Views of the outside of the building reveal its pic- turesque siting at the jun- , ction of two rivers. The wide door of the old library is also of interest, since apparently, this room was at one time used as a Fire Hall, and the doorway facilitated the prompt removal of the hose reels, once stored inside. Other slides - a series of before and after - clearly demonstrated the tremen- dous amount of work that had been undertaken to improve the image of Paisley. These included the old saw -mill, now a flourishing business noted for .its fine craft furniture; the old Fire Hall built on a , light -house design so that the hoses could be suspended from the top to dry, and the new arena - a fully paid-up project! Most impressive too, were the pictures of the main street, once without proper parking, sidewalks and pavements, with overhead, a tangle of Hydro wires. These latter have now all been put underground. The market place has been paved with interlocking bricks as havethe side -walks and designated parking places combine to create an entirely new image. Answering questions from the audience, Mr. Cormack explained that plans had been under way for the roadwork for which a grant had been obtained from the MTC. Once the work on the Town Hall had been com- pleted, he said that there had been an upsurge of support for the project which had been accomplished within two years. Questioned on property tax, he said that this was about equal with everybody else and that $43,000 of the sum required for the arena had come from the town. Questioned as to the architect responsible, Mr. Cormack said that Mr. Napier Simpson had un- dertaken this task with enthusiasm and vision. Reeve Fellows of Bayfield thanked the speaker and explained that the village weee at present in the process of establishing their own project through Heritage Canada. He felt that the slides had demon- strated very well what could be done, and this was en- couraging.

STARTING NOVEMBER 11981 CGSB-LISTED CONcTOkS�ARE REQUIRED FOR CHIP.' VO 19:0 t"► r�j�1 •i LOOK FOR THE CGSB SYMBOL BEFORE YOU HIRE AN INSULATION CONTRACTOR The vast majority of insulation firms are both capable and honest. But there have been cases of poor workmanship and even outright fraud. To help ensure good value for your insulation dollar, the Canadian General Standards Board has established a national certification program for residential insulation contractors. The contractors listed in the CGSB program certify to their clients that their quality of insulation workmanship meets the CGSB standard. Only those contractors listed in the CGSB certification program are authorized to use the CGSB symbol. USING A CONTRACTOR FOR CHIP? CGSB IS A MUST. CHIP (the Canadian Home Insulation Program) offers taxable grants of up to $500 to make your home better insulated and more airtight–if your house was built before January 1, 1961–whether you own or rent. After November 1, 1981, if you intend to apply for CHIP and have a contractor install the materials,, you must use a contractor who is listed with the CGSB program. You won't be eligible for a grant otherwise. If you prefer to do it yourself and use CHIP only to assist with buying materials, that's fine. But remember, you must install the materials before applying for a CHIP grant. CHOOSE YOUR CONTRACTOR CAREFULLY The new CGSB certification program will do much to reduce the problem of poor quality work by insulation contractors, hut don't stop there. You should further protect yourself in these way: I . Plan your home's energy savings by filling in the free Ener$ave 'Energy Analysis' questionnaire.

Verify the contractor's CGSB listing number with your CHIP office. Check the company's record with the Better Business Bureau or your provincial Consumer Affairs office. - 4. Watch out for high-pressure sales techniques. 5. Compare costs. Get three estimates in writing which locate and specify the size of the area to be insulated, give the type of materials to be used and list their RSI (or R) value. (RSI is the new metric rating for insulation). 6. Check your contractor for details such as CGSB listing number, the estimate of your home's existing RS1 (or R) value, the RSI (or R) value of insulation to be added, and the recommended RSI (or R) value for your area. 7. Monitor the job. If possible, stay home while the work is being done. Don't be shy about asking the contractor questions. 8. Never sign a blank or partly filled-in contract or CHIP application form. It takes planning and comparison shopping to find good value for your insulation dollar. But it's in your best interest to do it right from the start. Get in touch with your CHIP office in Toronto to find out whether your home is eligible and how to apply.
