Bennett over the years join in wishing him well in his new venture, but hope that from time to time he will return to Bayfield where he has been a resident for the past seven years. Percy answers fire call at his home By Helen Owen Where's the fire? That was the question asked by Percy Renner on October 26. Mr. Renner was returning to his home that evening when he noticed that the doors of the Fire Hall were open and the firemen were obviously out on a call. To his horror he discovered that his colleagues were at that moment at his own house answering a call from his wife! However, by the time he arrived everything was under control and the chimney fire, which had occurred during his absence had been dealt with promptly and efficiently. Commenting on the event, Mr. Renner said, "It does stress the fact that stoves should not be left unattended. In this case it was only two weeks ago that the chimney had been swept, by a professional chimney sweeper, and care was taken to ensure that the wood used on the stove was throughly dry. Even so, as had been demonstrated, these precautions were still not adequate, and the public should be aware of the risks they ran." Earlier in the week firemen were called out to deal with a fire caused by an electric motor at McLeod's. Bayfield Pottery Club Field Trip Last week members of the Bayfield Pottery Club met at the Albion Hotel to pick up the bus they had hired to take them on a field trip together with other pottery en- thusiasts from Goderich. First stop was Studio 3 in London where Susan De Clercq gave them a tour of her studio. This included an explanation of the steps and procedures which are taught there, as well as an opportunity to see the work of the students. Weaving and knitting are other crafts practiced at the studio on Albert Street, and examples of the potter's art are also offered for sale. �.a PAGE 10—CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESL)AY, NOVEMBER 2, 1983 IQ Q Several area clergymen attended a farewell luncheon for Rev.

The gext stop was on Rogers Road, south of Aylmer, where Mr. and Mrs. Clinnell welcomed the party to their studio. This is combined with the delightful Green Frog Tea Room. The visitors took advantage of this facility and enjoyed an excellent lunch, home -cooked and served on the pottery made in the studio. The day of the visit the pottery was busy producing tea pots, and so it was possible to actually watch the procedures and the methods employed. An interested participant in the outing was the young Brazilian girl, at present a guest of the Schilbe family. With a background of four years making pots in her own country, she found the demonstration fascinating. Mr. and Mrs. Clinnell reciprocated, and although language was a problem, the shared interest in pottery overcame this so that the young lady departed with the gift of two special tools presented to her by the Clinnells. Altogether it proved a most enjoyable outing as well as providing members of the group with a chance to observe the work of the potter from a different aspect and in another dimension. Scout Apple Day Bayfield Cubs and Scouts were busy on Oct. 29 when they went door to door and took up stations outside the stores selling apples, which had generously been provided for them by Doc Lindsay and Warner Payne. About a dozen boys took part, and in the afternoon some of them continued in Varna in the afternoon. The results of their efforts amounted to over $140. Once again they would like to thank all those who contributed and for the support given to their endeavour. Round and About Anyone in the vicinity of St. Andrew's United Church last Friday evening might have been surprised to see the strange company arriving there. But after all, it was a Hallowe'en costume party and some 26 people attended of all age groups. Ghoulish creatures of every kind participated in strange happenings, visited the room of horrors, enjoyed table games and apple bobbing. Luncheon was then served and the evening concluded with a short worship service. Mr. and Mrs. Brian Makins from Toronto spent the weekend with his parents in Bayfield. Mrs. John Sturgeon Sr. and Mrs. Evelyn Smith are very comfortably settled in the Clan Gregor Apartments. Mr. Albert Craig has moved into the former Elliot residence. The Kan Mackies are very busy fixing up the former Dresser residence for rental. may. zAggramegoovillV The masked dummy in the baby crib was part of the exhibits displayed at the Bayfield United Church's Hallowe'en party on Friday. The dummy was placed in the crib as a prop for the Haunted House. Web like loose strings hanging from the ceiling and skinless grapes were added attractions to make even the bravest shake in his boots.
