The high winds last week blew over a large tree on Tayll
Street in Bayfield, and it fell across a car owned by K.C.
It takes work
to make the
park beautiful
Although all through the
summer Pioneer Park is a
much appreciated beauty
spot of which the village can
be duly proud, perhaps it is
not always realized that it
does involve its executive in
many responsibilities with
regard to maintenance and
administration.
This year, under the
guidance of the president,
Prof. Walter Thompson, a
number of younger people
have greatly assisted in the
activities of the park. This is
encouraging. They are the
ideal people to participate,
not only for the present, but
more importantly, in
planning forthe future.
Residents may have
noticed that the entrance to
the park has been blocked off
for the winter, the reason
being that in previous years,
when it has been left open,
damage has been caused to
the road and grass by cars
which have become stuck in
the mud. Drainage con-
struction is needed from the
entrance over the bank, and
it is hoped that this will be
achieved next year.
The past year has been
notable in that thele has
been a considerable
reduction in vandalism of the
park and beach, as well as in
the amount of litter left
around. This results in a
diminution of work for the
members who help with the
upkeep, as well as in ex-
penditure
apenditure deployed -for this
purpose. It is to be hoped
that this is an indication that
we are . gaining a more
responsible group of citizens.
The new assessment
notices for the park property
have just been received. The
market value of the Tuyll
Street property is shown as
$40,000, and of the lands on
the south bank of the river as
$7,000.
The main revenues for the
upkeep of the park come
from the annual rummage
sale, which has the support
of at least 100 workers, and
many more who donate
items for sale. Nevertheless,
the numbers who attend the
annual meeting are quite
small, and these remarks
are written to note some
current developments.
The major expenditures
for the past several years
have been on the restoration
of the beach below the park.
There are several lots here
that are below the water.
With the work that has been
carried out on the groynes,
these are \ being exposed
more each year. From
having no beach five years
ago there is now, one°of the
best beaches in the village.
The prime necessity for
increasing the beach is to
prevent the loss of land on
the bluff, which is respon-
sible for the slumping on the
top of the bank. The Pioneer
Park Association is grateful
for a Wintario grant which,
over .the past three years,
has paid for one third of the
cost of.the groynes.
On December 15th, the
official opening of the
Bayfield Laboratories of the
Federal Hydrographic
Surveys is being celebrated,
with several members of the
Historical Society attending.
It is encouraging that we
have been assured by the
Director General of this
establishment that he will

LACAC gets ready to stmt a new year
Members of ,the Bayfield
L.A.C.A.C. committee met
on December 6th, to discuss
their future plans and outline
policies. At this early stage it
is difficult for them to do
more than review events to
date. However, some of the
members have been busy
covering meetings in the
area and presented reports
which, provided much useful
information.
On November 7th
representatives were in
Cambridge where they had
an opportunity to see an
interesting audio-visual
presentation of historic
buildings in Huron County.
During the morning session
which covered heritage
legislation, Heather
Broadbent, first vice-
president of the Ontario
Historical Society spoke
about the designation of
individual buildings. Her
talk was followed by one
given by Pamela Craig,
architectural conservation
officer for the ministry of
culture -and recreation, who
dealt with conservation
districts.
Joy Rayner, planner for
the city of Cambridge, who
acts as liaison between the
city planning department
and the city, provided en
account of the public per-
spective; whilst the private
perspective was presented
by Peter J. Stokes, the
restoration architect from
Niagara on the Lake. As
some may recall, Mr. Stokes
has spoken in Bayfield.
It is interesting to note that
this particular meeting had
been sponsored by the
Association of Municipalities
of Ontario, an encouraging
indication of the increasing
involvement. It was
arranged for municipal
politicians and members of
their staff, as well as
representatives of
L.A.C.A.C. committees, the
theme being to develop a
better understanding bet-
ween all concerned.
Gary Davidson, .Director
of Planning for the County of
Huron made the closing
remarks.
The annual meeting of the
Architectural Conservancy
of Ontario was held on the
same day at Dundurn Castle,
and attended by Mrs. Peg
Willock.
An important document
for careful study by
L.A.C.A.C. Committees
'Guidelines for the
Designation of Buildings'
was recommended as a
must, and the Bayfield group
have now acquired a copy.
A close -call
A somewhat amusing but
serious incident occurred
last week in front of the
municipal building which

ACW celebrates St. Andrew's Day
Monday, November 30th
was St. Andrew's Day, and
thelad ies of Trinity Anglican
Church marked the occasion
with the Celebration of Holy
Communion by the Rev.
Wm. Bennett, assisted by the
Rev. Douglas Pitts.
In his address the Rev.
Bennett dwelt on the life of
the saint with particular
emphasis on the fact that he
was a man whose dedication
to the work of Christ was the
predominating factor of his
life. As such he was one of
the earliest examples in the
Christian church of a man
who stressed the positive
aspects of Christianity and
the total involvement of such
a doctrine.
Following the service the
ladies entertained the clergy

Parish to a magnificent pot-

Hall, for which the Rev.
George Youmatoff thanked
them on behalf of their
guests.
No official business was
conducted at this meeting
but a series of slides was
shown. Issued by the
Leprosy Mission, they
portrayed leper patients,
their environment and the
work to alleviate their
suffering in Irian Jaya and
Papua New Guinea. The first
pictures showed the ravages
of: the disease, which affects
some 20,000,000 people of
whom about only a fifth
receive treatment. Despite
the fact that a cure is now
available incidence of the
disease is still on the in-
crease. In the accompanying
commentary it was stated
that the reason for this was
because of the remoteness
and isolation of the areas in
which the disease prevails,
together with superstition
and ignorance. Dr. Stanley
Browne, Medical Consultant
to the Leprosy Missions was
quoted as saying: "If
existing knowledge was
conscientiously and per-
sistently applied the disease
could be controlled in this
generation and eradicated in
the next."
The slides portrayed the
appalling conditions en-
countered by the members of
a Mobile Clinic Team. In one
instance the patient had been
discovered lying helpless in
a dilapidated shack, covered
in ulcers and unable to fend

Vacant positions filled
despite poor response
On Thursday December 3,
the Bayfield Recreation
Committee held an open
public meeting for the pur-
pose of receiving nomina-
tions for the 1982 committee.
Public response . to the
meeting; which had been
advertised, was very poor
but two new vacancies were
filled.
Winnie Darnborough, Mat-
ty Francis, Allun Thomas,
and Lloyd Huffman of this
year's committee all ac-
cepted their nominations for
another term, while Steve
Shanahan and Joan Cluff
will replace Ron Whetstone
and Bill Talbot who are step-
ping down. Because there
were only six nominees,
elections were not
necessary.
Although these are the six
public representatives, other
members include council
reps. John Chapman, Reg
Wilson, and George Fellows,
Lions' rep. Jerry Johnson
and agricultural society rep.
Frank McFadden.
The committee has been
successful the past year in
setting up lines of . com-
munication between council
and the committee, as well
as setting up rules and
bylaws concerning recrea-
tional use in Bayfield.
The next meeting is
scheduled for Thursday
night (Dec. 10). The new
committee will take over
January 1,1982.

may serve as a lesson to
some and a reminder to
others.
The whole thing started
when a local. Bayfield resi-
dent brought his two young
children out of the municipal
building. Upon putting the
two year old in the back seat
on one side he then preceded
to walk around the car to put
the other child in, only to find
the door locked. When he
returned to the other side he
then found it too had been
locked by the amused child.
Further complicating the
situation was the fact that
the keys were left in the igni-
tion.
The child, being too small,
was unable to lift the lock or
even roll down the window,
but the window being down
ever so slightly made it
possible to use the old
'Detroit coat hanger' method
to raise the latch.
Probably nothing would
ever develop from such in-
cidents but young parents
should realize that when
you're gone to get help that
child is alone so you can let
your own imagination finish
the story from there.
Bridge scores
There were four tables out
when the group met on
December 2nd. High score
went to Ethel Knight (her
first high) - 6350. Beryl Hogg
was second with 6100, and
low was Jessie Blair with
2000.
There are alreadyover 100
L.A.C.A.C. committees
operating throughout
Ontario, a positive sin of the
widening interest and
serious concern with regard
to conservation, Con-
sequently it has been seen fit
to organize a conference
specifically for these
committees and this will be
held from May 27th - 30th,
1962 at Sheridan College,
Oakville.
Members who attended the
meeting were Reeve George
Fellows, Councillor Gwen
Pemberton, Mrs. Peg
Willock, Mr. Alex Shevchuk
and Mrs. Arlene Kok. Mr.
David Johnston was not
available.
A resume of the meeting is
being presented to Bayfield
Village Council at the next
meeting.
