Historical Society thanks Lances By Doris Hunter The Historical Society held a very nostalgic meeting on September 24. The Rev. Douglas Pitts, vice-president of the organization presided in his own congenial style calling for the various interesting reports, including that of the archivist, Miss Dorothy Cox who has done such a professional job at the Archives Room. Mrs. Lois Lance then presented a number of fascinating documents to the Club and read some amusing notes from them. Mrs. Lance has been most- generous and meticulous in dispersing the many historical papers, she and her husband have owned and the town. oes her a real debt of thanks for having preserved these letters and other memorabilia and now seeing that they go to family members or the proper society. It was a fitting introduction for Brigadier Clift to give the meeting a brief summary of the speakers background and accomplishments. Mrs. Ethel Poth, a founding member of the Huron •County Historical Society and until recently their archivist is hardly a stranger to Bayfield. Her wealth of knowledge of the town and its people goes back through personal memories to stories of her family who were early 'settlers in the community. She had assembled a remarkable selection from the vast number of slides she has collected, which Rae Fraser, program convenor, showed for her, while her running commentary brought lots of appreciative remarks from the crowd. Dr. Grove Shepherd, who is always first with the thank yous, was certainly speaking for all the members, when he offered sincere thanks on their behalf. A social cup of tea is always a pleasant finale to these meetings and this time sisters, Jessie Blair and Jean Lindsey were hostesses. The Historical Society's wandering President Miss Kay Reid has returned from her journey to Britain with Councilor Helen Owen . and both civic minded ladies are looking very fit after 28 interest packed days in what we used to call the Old Country.
