To add to the variety there will also be a film showing something of the history of fall fairs. Door prizes will be presented, and of course, refreshment will be available in the form of coffee and cookies. It certainly sounds like a very enterprising and enter- taining project.

(Rod Hilts photo) How others saw us $y Gweu'Pemliertom __,. _-- _-- -- Last October the Architectural Con- servancy of Ontario (ACO) celebrated its 50th anniversary with a two -days bus tour which was described by Owen Jones in the ACO periodical "The Acorn" that took in an area from Toronto to Bayfield. (Day 1) end- ed as follows: "Thence south on Highway 21 to Bayfield. We crossed the bridge Over the Bayfield River turned off the highway to. the right and suddenly came upon the Bayfield Green and Main Street. Bayfield is one of only three town sites in the Canada Company's lands in Southern Ontario which was laid out according to a plan, the others being Goderich and Guelph. In Bayfield the streets all lead up to the green or park although it never became the city which had been visualized. Our bus rolled up to the delightful "Little Inn with its restored first and second floor balconies. Four of us were fortunate to be staying there for the night and the others put up at the Albion Inn down the street, an even more historic hostelry. After inspecting our accommodation we all ambled up and down themain street in the clamp chilly air laden with leaf smoke. The gift and antique shops were all closed as the summer tourists had long since. departed: We left the main street and started towards the lake, 'passing a number of 'boarded -up cottages as well as • some with.cars parked outside and lights on within, suggesting year round weekend retreats. We • reached our sunset lookout with the typical wooden' staircase going down the steep bank. Waves were pounding on the sand' beach below. The sky was dramatic and the lake looked wide, bleak andcold. In the gathering dusk we struggled back through leaf smoke to our respective inns. Some of us enjoyed a pre -dinner glass in the, parlour at khe Little Inn with a fire go- ing in the fireplace and the new bar adjoin- ing. We all assembled in thediningroom for a well chosen and • hearty dinner by candlelight. • Retiring early to 'sort out the' impressions of a long, delightful day, we looked forward to an early start on Sunday morning." council okays work on Mara street entrance By Wendy Somerville A decision to improve the lower entrance on Mara Street in Bayfield was moved by Councillor James Quick and seconded by Councillor Reg Wilson at village council. The entrance would consist of a rail fence and would give access to pedestrians rather than motor vehicles. The fence would in- clude a bar that would be moveable only by the road superintendent. It would have a nine foot clearance. +++ Clerk Pat Graham received permission from council for a new chair from Huron Business Machines Ltd. at a cost of $172.38. The chair will match the council chairs and will allow the ' one now being used by the clerk to be returned to council chambers. +++ As a result of a meeting in Exeter the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA) is offering for sale a number of maple and white pine trees to be planted for next fall. Clerk Graham said, "It might be suitable to wind up the village bicentennial celebrations with the planting of the trees." Speaking on behalf of the ABCA, Coun- cillor Lloyd Huffman said the committee are also in favor of a "little ceremony" for the tree planting. " Reeve Dave Johnston suggested council contact the Garden Club to ask their opinion of where the trees should be planted. He said that in the meanwhile they (council) can go ahead and place an order for the trees and decide where they should be planted later. Permits approved An application from Steve Shanahan to demolish a shed attached to his house was approved by council. Clerk Graham said Mr. Shanahan will be applying later on for a permit for a new building to replace the demolished one. Doctor A.C. Wallace and Mrs. Fisher's ap- plication to alter two bedrooms in a house was approved. The rooms will be converted int? office and examination rooms. Mr. and Mrs, George Chapman's applica- tion to remodel the front of their home and convert it into a .solar greenhouse was also approved. +++ Council has decided to advertise for a tender for the sale of a village tractor that is no longer in use. Road Superintendent Rick Penhale said that ,council should consider selling the trac- tor because, "it would' be better if we got rid of it so there could be some money in the pot, rather than paying for the storage of it." - "Ithink we should get rid of it while it's still running," commented Councillor Reg Wilson. The reeve suggested .the tractor be made available for viewing by the public. Reeve Johnston requested a report . be presented by Councillor Wilson and Road Superintendent Penhale regarding the resurfacing of village roads. The report will be presented at the May 28 council meeting. Oops, our mistake It was reported in last week's Bayfield council report that Jack Pounder met with council as a representative of the village's Ratepayers Association. In actuality, Mr. Pounder appeared as a neighboring property owner before council BAYFIELD AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY Scottish Variety Night Friday, April 27th at 8 p.m. Moved to the Community Centre Sponsored by Bayfield Agricultural Society to discuss the Addee McPhee minor variance.
