BAYFIELD 13tJaLE
Guides host open house for 75
A big night in Guiding in
Bayfield took place at the
Open House on October 22nd,
1981, in the Anglican Parish
Hall. 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. Five Brownies

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. On a more

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. Call the Ener$ave
Heatline toll-free for your copy.
Call toll free 1.800.267.9563.
Ottawa/Hull residents call 995.1801.
2. Ask friends or neighbours to
recommend a contractor.
3. 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.
