Clinton News-Record, 1984-09-26, Page 10jli.:.ii ligCORD,. `R • I Dk" SDYY,N 1984 I3ciyfieId Bag inter activities underway By Dona Hunter You've all heard it, "what on -earth do you do in the winter"? Here are a few of the answers. Girls 12 years and older may join the new 4-H club, which is ginning on Oc- tober 1 at 7:30 pm. Dawn ong has invited the girls to her home fo this inaugural gathering and Pat Brandon is working with her to make this an inters g group. The name Fitness Fare sugges many activities as well as aerobics and J e Fonda exer- cises. The Ever Young Society will commence the fall season, on Thursday, September 27, with a pot luck supper in the Municipal Building, 6 pm is the hour and be assured of a warm welcome if you are new to the group. Senior Citizens, they have achieved many things, other than sociability. One recalls the fine job they did at renovating the Town Hall a few years ago. The Municipal Building has been enhanced by heavy drapes in the main meeting room, an influence from the school room iafluenee, which still persists. Playing cards has been a pleasureable ac- tivity back to ancient days and euchre has been very popular since early days in Huron. The Bayfield Euchre Club has made a change of dates for this year. The first round will be played October 10 at 9 pm the second for the month October 24 in the Municipal Building. Euchre can be pretty exciting so refreshments are in order and ladies are requested to bring either sand- wiches or cookies. Curlers are invited to phone Paul Gosse at 565-2833, Bob Rogers at 565-2746 or Matty Francis at 565-2451 for information or to sign up for the season. During October there will be a free curling school to give beginners a chance. There is to be junior curling as well so don't delay. Fair finishes in the black The Bayfield Agricultural Society met on September 18 in the Municipal Building, at which time the recent Fall Fair was discuss- ed. The treasurer's report showed that the Fair had been financially successful despite the rising costs of operating and the sum of the prize cheques which have been mailed out. The various committees reported many new exhibitors this year and suggestions were studied to improve next year's fair. Again the need for more members was stressed. The Society has been fortunate to have acquired some new members who were active in the fair just past and are in- terested in continuing their work. The Annual Meeting and Conference of District no. 8 of the O.A.A.S. will be held in Exeter on November 6, starting with a pot- luck supper at 7 pm followed by the business meeting. A number of Bayfield members are planning to attend. Rick Penhale offered some trees to the society for planting in the grounds and this offer was gladly accepted. They will be planted inside the gates along the east side of the grounds. The Society's annual meeting was set as November 22 in the Municipal Building with pot -luck supper at 6:30 pm. Members are asked to attend and would-be members will be welcome. Round and about By, Doris Hunter It is arthritis month and Dawna Westlake and Joyce Chilton have organized a Bluebird Society with the aim to present educational material and for sociability for those suffering from this painful disease. It is no respector of persons, hitting people of all ages. Meetings will be held at the Albion Hotel, the next one Tuesday, Oct. Qat 2 pm. Some of us enjoy shopping and the stores are full of bargains as Thanksgiving draws near and more of them will close. The Flea Market though somewhat smaller has still some bargains. Fascinating old German Beer Bottles were at Mrs. George Bell's stall on Saturday: • The Pope'svisit brought forth many in- teresting'statements on religion and one of these was the statistic of 75 per cent of Cana- dians being church goers. Bayfield certainly would show, such an average as the cars out- side the Roman Catholic Church, the Presbyterian, Baptist and United and Anglican Church, attest. The Anglican Church will be celebrating Harvest Thanksgiving this Sunday, September 30. This is one of the ancient customs of the church, pre -dating the popular holiday of feasting, corning up on Oc- tober 8. The United Church will be hold a Sunday School Rally Day at which the Rev. Burton Crowe will be the preacher. Mr. Murray will be taking the service at Zion Church in Cen- tralia.. IIuliettproteets wildlife By Doris Hunter Dorothy Hovey, the Garden Club's im- aginative program convenor came up with another most interesting evening when members accepted the invitation of Mrs. Norma Hazlitt president of the Goderich Horticultural Society, to share with them the meeting at which Douglas Puffer, of- ficer at the Hullett Wildlife Conservation Area was the speaker. Nine clubs of the district attended with Bayfield well represented with 32 members present. The talk was most informative and very attractively presented. The Canadian Wildlife Federation lends real support in funds as well as interest to the Ministry of Natural Resources under whose jurisdiction. the area is preserved. The wildlife obviously is thriving in this habitat so cleverly managed to encourage natural breeding. Overly enthusiastic perhaps are the muskrate, who have jumped their populationfrom 600 to 1200 this year: Those elegant birds the blue heron is really a predator as it kills just for the exer- cise, there are approximately 350 of them now in Hullett. They have had no better luck with • bluebirds than we had in Bayfield and can report only one nesting. If you can hardly believe your eyes as a flight of white swans soars overhead. They are for real and rest in the Conservation Area during migration. Round About It is still visiting time in Bayfield and the Rev. and Mrs. Douglas Pitts have been en- joying their guests, the Rev. Allan B. Cheales and his wife Etta, old friends hav- ing served in the Diocese of Rupert's Land where Douglas and Elizabeth were in the same Diocese and residents in Minneapolis. Arlene and Jan Kok have with them Arlene's parents Mr. and Mrs. Tom Smith from Merthyr, South Wales and her aunt Mrs. Gwyne and H. Davis of Glyneath. Arlene will haye to pronounce these musical Welsh names for us. They have enjoyed meeting Doris ' `Reddoch whose former home, Liverpool is so close to the Welsh border. It is Mrs. Davies first visit to Canada and like most people from Britain she is finding the distances hard to believe. Carson Fawcett was buried on Monday, September 24. He had been ill for some time with cancer. The village extends its .sym- pathy to his widow Margaret McLeod Fawcett and their children.

Martha Daubner, a cottage owner, and Cecil Abra, a contractor hired to move the Daubner cottage, attended the meeting re- questing assistance with the poor drainage on the Hamilton Street property. Mr. Abra said both Mrs. Daubner and a neighbour, H.F. Stolch have been .experienc- ing . water problems during the last two years coinciding with the development of the neighbouring Ducharme subdivision. The contractor installed a basement for Mr. Stolch about eight years ago and the water problems have existed only recently. He said the water table is now only six in- ches below the surface soil and does not have an outlet for running off. "The weeping tile is running in reverse," he said. Mr. Abra said the solution is to get per- mission to extend the Ducharme catch basin system to remove excess water. Reeve Dave Johnston said the village will direct engineer B.M. Ross to investigate the problem. Both long term and short term solutions will be outlined and then costs ex- amined, said the reeve. Doris Reddock of Catherine Street sent a letter to council explaining a drainage pro- blem which started during the spring thaw of this year. A spring developed in her lot and although it had been filled in it reoccur- red during rains. Council directed Mr. Penhale•to solve the problem while the weather permitted.
