Rector holds firstservice
By Doris Hunter
Trinity Church Bayfield welcomed their
new Rector, the Reverend Aubrey Bell on '
Sunday.
He quickly won the hearts of his congrega-
tion as he led them through the service, in-
toning the chants, with his beautiful voice
and instead of a traditional sermon, he took
as his text, "Go ye unto all the world" and
then proceeded to give a very warm account
of his journey through life and many parts of
the world.
The Reverend Aubrey has five •children,..
two boys and three girls, all grown and on
their own now, and is fortunate to have as
his wife of three years Hilda, (nee Robin-
son) who is quite a person' herself, a
graduate from Wycliffe College, Toronto, a
linguist, speaking three languages, a former
missionary and a'keen advocate of Scottish
Dancing and cross country skiing. Their two
cockatiels, Matthew and Matilda round out
the family.
The Rector was born in Vermillion, Alber-
ta, the son of a country doctor and
subsequently .Alloyed to Victoria, B.C. He
has held the rank of Major in the militia,
having only recently retired as chaplain of
the ,lst Hussars of London, Ont.
After university, where he played soccer,
as well as studying, he became a banker and
was posted' to the southern hemisphere, ser-
ving in Guyana, Port of Spain and Bogota,
Columbia. Becoming disenchanted with
business morality, and having held the post
of most offices of the church Including that
of lay reader, as he put it, "The Hound of
Heaven", was after him and he returned to .,
Victoria, acquired a degree in Theology and
became a priest.
His first charge was in Squamish, B.C., a
lumber town which is often in the news with
labour problems and massive floods. Here
he was able to establish a Social Services
Centre, then resigned; Coming " to the
diocese of Huron, he became Rector of the
three point parish of Thedford. He was.ap-
pointed to the church camp committee and
is proud of having pushed through the pro-
gram of proper sewage equipment which
cost a lot of money, but prevented the
department of health from closing the camp
down, which would certainly have been a
tremendous loss to the Diocese.
He has been serving in Leamington before
coming to the parish of Trinity and St:
James'. They were most sorry to see him
go. Two. of. the Leamington parishioners
were in church here on Sunday.
Rev. Bell has been very active in Masonic
Orders and is presently Grand Chaplain of
the Grand Chapter of Ontario andwas also
Grand Chaplain of the Royal Arch Masons,
Grand Lodge of B.C. and the Yukon. Hilda
has recently become a member of the
Eastern Star.
This busy man is not allowing his mind to
lie fallow so he has enrolled for a master's
degree at the University of Windsor.
His strong beliefs for the church include
the importance of preparation for marriage,
for parents bringing their children for bap-
tism, and teaching any mature ' person
wishing to be baptized. He wishes to main-
tain a program of parish visiting and to find
and give friendship and a stress 'on lay
involvements.
Mr. Harry Baker spoke for the church in
welcoming Mr. Bell and his wife when he
said how thankful we are to have two such
vital people in the church and the com-
munities of Bayfield and Middleton.
Welcome indeed.
New Rector leads prayer
By Blanche Deeves
MIDDLETON - Morning Prayer was held
in St. James' Middleton Anglican Church
Sunday morning at 11:15 with our new Rec-
tor in charge Rev. Aubrey Bell. The rector
spoke to the children asking each their
names, and asking them where do they go to -
be warm. They answered home and he told''
them they should always be warm in church
also. A children's hymn was sung and the '
children went to their classes. Rev. Bell, in
the place of sermon, told of his life and how
he entered the ministry. James Storey and
Roy Wise received the offering.
Following the service everyone gathered
in the church hall, where Bell, Steenstra
welcomed everyone and the Rector said the
blessing. Everyone enjoyed lunch and a
social time was had. Those present were

The supervisor supported a recent sugges-
tion to build the works department structure
as an addition to the municipal office. The
use of the municipal land as. a site for con-
struction of the building would save money,
said Mr. Penhale. If any problems arose
concerning the location of the septic bed, the
proposed structure could be angled away
from that area.
Council was receptive to the supervisor's
suggestion. Reeve Dave Johnston said an
artist's drawing, of the building could be
commissioned to give interested citizens an
idea of the addition.
Reeve Johnston asked whether the con-,
struction could be done in stages. A com-
an

financially easier completion schedule for

Although the machinery bays and the ad-
dit onail work area to be .designated for

heated, Mr. Penhale agreed:with the
i> Y stepapproach..
The other equipment would improve effi-
olency. Although Some of the work is hired
out; that requiring a loader tractor for ex-
ample, time would be saved in day to day
operations.
The report also covered construction and
maintenance of village projects. The
greatest problem is a result of the present
-storm sewers. A storm sewer plan is cur-
rently being drawn up by the village's
engineer but until it can be implemented
road resurfacing should be delayed, said
Mr, Penhale.
Crack sealing, a method to prevent frost
break up of roads, should be used until roads
can be resurfaced, he said. Huron County
does a considerable amount of crack sealing
and the county engineer can include village
needs in the county tender, lowering costs
by'a substantial margin.
Street lighting will be the topic
By James Friel
BAYFIELD - A decision on the street
lighting of the downtown core has been put
on the agenda of a planning committee
meeting tentatively scheduled for early Oc-
tober. This measure followed discussion of
various proposals for core lighting and the
introduction of the subject in a report from
works department supervisor RicrPenhale
at Bayfield council's September 17 meeting.
Mr. Penhale advised that comparing
costs, the high pressure sodium lights sug-
gested by Ontario Hydro are better than the
incandescent lights favoured by the Local
Architectural Conservation Advisory Com-
mittee (LACAC). The committee recently
passed a resolution recommending council
stay with the present incandescent lights.
The works superintendent said both hydro
and maintenance costs would diminish
significantly with the more efficient, lower
wattage lights and reduced bulb replace-
ment. He said he has changed hundreds of
the incandescent bulbs during his four year
tenure and only two of the mercury vapour
variety.
Reeve Dave Johnston noted costs for the
sodium style streetlights will increase by 10
per cent in the new year making an im-
mediate decision necessary.
Pioneer Park lots

The lots, deeded to the association many
years ago, are in the Bayfield River and
Lake Huron. The federal government, the
legislative body responsible for navigable
waters, refuses to do work in the river until
the deeding confusion is settled.
Life Ring stolen
Council members were angered by the
news that the life ring installed at the
marina by the municipality had been stolen.
The preserver had just recently replaced
the previous ring which had also been
stolen.
"We can't maintain this against constant
theft," said Reeve Johnston. Council was
disturbed by the fact the $76 ring may be
needed to save a life.
