This has beenchildrenra week. in Bayfield,
The weather cooperated on July 4 when
casual passers-by were sco ewhat surprils-
ed to see the Mad Hatter, Alice in
iionderland, the good Fairy and Mary Pop-
pins surrounded by children in Pioneer
Park.
The childre wearing an amazing variety
of .: ncy hat lined up to write their names
oh a 'macron which is to be placed in the
Turn of the Century Time Capsule - a special
record for posterity of Bayfield's Bicenten-
,nial celebrations! Carefully and with much
concentration each little guest wrote a
name, and for those too small to do so
mothers and brothers and sisters did so on
their behalf. •
Having achieved this the next thing was to ,
enjoy the -wonderful food. -All that was need-
ed was to pick. up a plate and have a good ap-
petite. Cooked meats, rolls and butter,
cheese and crackers as well as lots of fresh
vegetables made up the first course, and
there was plenty for seconds.
On the next table glasses of ice cold
lemonade were dispensed, and here too was
the piece de resistance, the Mad Hatter's
birthday cake. And what a cake, the main
portion decorated with characters from the
story sitting at a table enim/inR their tea!
ry characters come to life
There was lots for everyone; and to see the
little guests sitting under the shade of the
trees enjoying, their picnic was a sight to he
remembered, captured by many a camera.
Meanwhile it was time to judge the hats -
it was a difficult task, they Were all so good.
Original, unique, pretty, humorous; and in-
genious, it was difficult to make a selection..
Real flowers, buttons and bows, decorated
pie plates, paper bags and newspapers, bon-
• nets and baseball hats, big hats, small hats,
flat hats, tall hats -. what an imaginative
selection.
The, next item on the program was a
delightful puppet show provided by Marian
Doucette of Goderich, and the children (and
the. adults); sat entranced- in the afternoon
sunshine. Finally Mother Goose distributed
the prizes - assisted by the Mad Hatter and
Mary Poppins. Lots and lots of prizes, and
just to -make it all complete the children all
collected a little prize - something for
everyone - before they left.
Eric Earl was to have been the Mad Hat-
ter, but unfortunately he had been admitted
to hospital. However, the children did not
forget him, and signed a huge 'Get Well
Card' which was taken in to him.
Everyone agreed that the party was a
great success, and this was due t� the
tremendous support and hard work which
went into the preparations as well as the
generosity of others who provided cash,
goods and prizes.

Norman tells me he saw a television
program about this find. It's reputed to be
the richest gold deposit in the world ,at
present -and expected to improve the value
of our dollar dramatically when production
gets underway. People in Marathon say the
area is crazy with building activity. If you
need a motel near there, it's wise to look
early.

• CLINTON
By Helen Owen
The Community Centre was a busy place
on Saturday when some 22 children
gathered to take part in the Music Camp
specially arranged for them by the visiting
Tapestry Singers.
Once everyone had been introduced,
Wayne Strongman, the musical director,
soon had all the children listening attentive-
ly as he explained what they were going to
do. The next thing was learning how to do it,
and it was apparent that they were intrigued
and quick to learn the songs, the actions and
the placing arrangements. By lunch time
wonderful progress had been made, and
after a quick snack of lemonade and
cookies, the children took a break.
In the afternoon they practiced what they
had learned and this time were joined by the
Test of the Chautauqua Company. 'It was
amazing the way in which the children
blended with. the professionals, and as at the
children's party on July 4, the comment was
now made • 'how well behaved the children
are".
By the end of .the session it was obvious
that the camp was a great success and the.
children were ready and eager to take part
in the 'real performance' of - dominion
Chautauqua on Sunday afternoon. This ven-
ture was in keeping with the traditions of the
original Chautauqua shows.
After so much work the children enjoyed
cake and lemonade and had great fun with a
final game of musical chairs with the per-
formers. • •
It was interesting to note that one or two
mothers who stayed to watch as well as
those making plans for the evening burst out
into spontaneous applause at the final
rehearsal.
The children taking part were: Marty and
Lori Whetstone, Nicholas Asher, Sarah
Laudenbach, Kelley Krupa, Carolyne Scot-
chmer, Jerry and Cheryl Alexander, Jodi
and Jackie Fisher, Kyrstie and Shane
Pounder, Jenny Turner, Tara and Tyler •
Hessel, Samantha Scott, Eric and Chantal
Lecompte, Sarah and Frank Bauer and
Jamie and Audrey Dollery.
Cabaret
The Community Centre was transformed
• on Saturday night for the special presenta-
tion of the Tapestry Singers. Separate tables
had been arranged around the room each
with a pretty table decoration.!:, and
candlelight. Crackers and cheese were set
out and a welcoming glass of wine handed to
the audience as they arrived.
For the next hour and a half the per-
formers- enthralled their audience with a
wonderful selection of songs, many evoking
memories. of the war years, others with par-
ticular significance as far as Canadian com-
posers and librettist were concerned. .
As always the Tapestry Singers perform-
ed with professional skill, spontaneity and
great warmth. Whether they sang as in-
dividuals, in groups or altogether every
number had something special to commend
it and the program -included • romance,
poignancy and humor.
At the end of the evening responding to a
standing ovation, they returned,. and for an
