Clinton News-Record, 1984-02-01, Page 12Ci Bonus concert in 1130,Yfield By Helen Owen In spite of the weather there was a good turn out for the 'Bonus' concert sponsored by the Bayfield Lioness on Jan. 23. The program, `Sound and Image,' was unusual in that it provided an interestin combination of visual ,and aural en- tertainment. The seyen participants presented musical pieces dating back to the 17th century, and prefaced each item with informative detail concerning the in- strument, style, occasion and composer. Two interludes of slide presentations with appropriate musical backgrounds ,added another dimension, especially as the subject matter was well matched, and the pictures of such excellence. Individually - the performers each demonstrated their own techniques, talents and backgrounds, so that each item on the program offered a different type of en- tertainment. n- t rt ' t Lynn Tr-emain and Bob Enns songs ranging from musical frits, as well as Adam's 'Holy City'. Unfortunately, Dawn Crabe, had injured her wrist and therefore her part in the concert had to be curdled. Nevertheless, lalthough unable to perform on flute and piccolo, she did play the recorder for the series of Baroque Miniatures. Special mention must be made of the slide presentation. the work off Bob Tremain (Curator of the Lambton Heritage: Museum), and Terry Crabe, a Naturalist from Pinery Park. The first series showed winter with some unusual and intriguing camera angles which blended well with the Huron Carol and Greensleeves. Next came the voice of the late Stan Rogers singing Men Must Work illustrated by a collection of genuine pictures of the fishermen and the hazards of their occupation.

Accompanied by appropriate musical reap, Bell tills historical society about ancestors„ By Helen Owen Ngarly 40 supporter turned out on Jan. 23 for the annual general meeting of the Bayfield Historical Society. President, Ed Oddleifson welcomed them, and then in- troduced the annual reports of the officers and committee chairmen, some of whom were unable to be present in person. The first part of the business being concluded, Mrs. Elva Metcalf introduced Mrs. Jean Bell, a well known Bayfield resident. Her presentation was particularly ap- propriate for a local historical society meeting as she traced the history of her own ancestors, the Switzer family, which dated back to 1709!

Their orderly lifestyle apparently did not endear them to the' local population and so. they moved on once again seeking .to establish themselves in North America. The Switzer family, from whom Mrs. Bell is descended multiplied and spread and she has amassed much material relative to other branches, whose descendants in turn, have found their way to her door in order to authenticate their own researches. Referring to her own grandfather she amplified the material with personal recollections of his lifestyle and strong religious practices. She exemplified the strong community atmosphere of those days when social welfare was accepted as part of one's personal responsibility, and quoted the case of a young man suffering from tuberculosis who was taken in and cared for by her grandmother. A holiday visiting around Huron County, by horse and buggy, was a memory which Mrs. Bell recalled as a highlight of her childhood. At one period too, her own father was the Reeve of Bayfield.
