The Enterprising Seniors met at the Com-
munity Centre in Holmesville with John
Semple, in the chair. Jean Lobb played the
piano for the opening and Frank 'Yeo
presentedthe treasurers report. ,
A discussion was held on the bus trip for
June 21 to Milton and a trip to Tricks, De -
in his dealings withthe owners of plants and
trees. They often call him in great distress.
His lecture on pests and diseases was, ac-
companied with graphic illustrations on
screen of their disastrous effects on plants
and trees. He observed that although
several of them do no permanent damage
they result in the unsightly appearance of
the plant or tree- affected. We saw the
results of aphids, scale insects, (the juniper
scale looks -like little fried eggs), leaf hop-
pers, spider mites, leaf miners, tent cater-
pillars, saw flies, beetles etc:
In the question period Dr. Rice told us that
sugar maples can live asiongas350-yearsin--
the Bush. They are very delicate trees and
'fall apart' when removed from their native
habitat and subjected to human injuries.
Birch trees are short lived perhaps 30 years.
He is convinced that elms will survive the
Dutch elm scourge.
Alec McAlister thanked Dr. Rice for this
informative address. Stewart Oakes has
taken on responsibility for the cairn. It was
announced that the Hensall Horticultural
Society invites us to their meeting on April
30 in the United Church at 8 p.m., that Dr.
Clayton Switzer will speak in' Seaforth on
May 4Jhat the Bi -centennial tree -planting

ty flowering crabs will be planted on
Howard St. The annual plant auction will
take place on May 14. Jean Oakes and Leda

The most dramatic change occurred .at
the Pizza Palace, because it happened
literally overnight. For months Harry Mac- '
Donald worked hard behind closed doors.
He told me last fall that he had visited
Niagara -on -the -Lake and other historic
places like Cape Cod, in the New England
States; the reason is now evident! Suddenly
his rather nondescript place of business
was transformed. Words fail me to describe
the Cinderella -like magic change there.
Congratulations Harry! The new signs are
beautiful.
Down the street the remodelled Red
Pump Restaurant demonstrates Harry
Israel's excellent taste. His flair for the
elegant has always pleased, as one strolled
by on a summer evening and sensed the
romantic aura of dinner by candlelight
within. This picture will remain as a happy
Bayfield memory.
He has complied, as suggested in the
Heritage District Plan to conserve the basic
architectural original L -shape form of his
building . and -1.31 _ storey- height_ He—has —
preserved the large chestnut tree at the en-
trance and replaced the decaying picket
fence with another.
Last November Huron County members
of the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario
(ACO) went to Port Hope (another historic
Great Lakes port) for the 50th Anniversary
meeting of the ACO. One seminar on 'suc-
cessful infill' was' led by a panel of ar-
chitects from Toronto, Niagara -on -the -
Lake, and Goderich (Chris Borgal). The
guest speaker was a Buffalo architect 'lo#r

• more acceptable solution.
What has this to do with our village? Well
Our first example of `infill' hastaken,foim.at
The Little Inn. The restored wagon- op
front is true to the original. After a doubt
was expressed that such a `boomtome:trent
ever existed, I showed its picture to native
residents John Lindsay, Harry Baker and
Ethel Poth who remember it vividly.
The barn Like second storey door was for
lumber -delivery for the wagons built on the
main floor below. Ethel used to stop Wafter
school; to watch the workers there,. and th- n
next door atthe blacksmith shop. It's a fan-
eiful and eye-catching restoration. The tin-
aginative treatment of the space between it
and the Little Inn is the kind of `infill' we
heard discussed at Port Hope.
Rumor has it that the Walnut Inn will also
undergo a facelift - a major one - before'
