October is on the wane, the signs of the
Zodiac of Libra and Scorpio have had under
their influence a goodly number of Bayfield
citizens. A few who celebrate their bir-
thdays at this time are Pearl Hutchings,
Elva Metcalf, Ernest Hovey, Jean Bell,
Doris Hunter and Grove Shepherd.
Then June is not the only month for wed-
dings. Lorraine and Jim Fisher were mar-
ried 40 years ago in Waterloo. Their son and
daughter-in-law Carol, entertained in their
honour on Sunday, when friends from Kit-
chener, Waterloo, Exeter, Goderich and
many front Bayfield called to wish them all
happiness in the future. Sharon Sinnamon,
Norma Gosse and Mary Yates, a Goderich
friend assisted the hosts in seeing that all
were served with the festive refreshments
Carol had prepared. Later a family dinner
anniversary celebrations
was enjoyed to complete that life begins at
40111 wedding anniversaries.
Helen and Gilbert Latimer have their an-
niversary, the eighth on October 23 and
small Wendy is not the only one, but all of us
wish them many happy and prosperous
years ahead.
Colonel Dave and Helen Battye, had a
Christmas wedding, but remembering last
winter's snow, the family surprised them
completely with a surprise party to mark
their 25th anniversary. Thinking George
and Phyllis Heard were having them out for
a game of bridge, they walked into a family
party complete with appropriate silver
gifts, good friends and all good wishes,
Helen and Dave rnet while both were .sta-
tioned at the Radar School, and their wed-
ding reception was at the splendid old home
Helen's grandfather had owned, now
demolished with only a pile of bricks to re-
mind us of the good years when John and
Jean Lindsey were the owners. Twenty-five
is an excellent beginning, be happy. They
have two children Blair who lives inOttawa,
and Rene a student at Guelph University.
Helen is the daughter of Jessie Blair and
the _ late Bob Blair. Her two sisters,
bridesmaids at their wedding were here for
the occasion, Ethel from Toronto and Bren-
da from Dundas. More good wishes from the
villagers all.
Visiting Mildred and Ross Merrill this
week -end were the Reverend Alun and
Gillian Thomas 'with small Maria growing
apace. They are happy in Sundridge, enjoy-
ing their work and community. They called
at the Fisher wedding party and so met
many friends and parishioners of their days
with us as minister of St. Andrew's United
Church.
Safety needed at hazardous Highway 21
By James Friel "I'm left with the terrible idea that so-

munication (MTC) asking for a cross walk
across Highway 21 from Main Street to the
mall on the east side. The discussion took
place at the regular council meeting Oct. 15.
A senior citizen of the village, John
Marks, complained that he had almost been
hit by a car while crossing the highway after
repeatedly checking the road.
Members of council agreed the in-
tersection is hazardous and decided to re-
quest some kind of control for the crossing
from MTC.
Council has received many complaints
about the intersection and the danger in
crossing and have forwarded these concerns
to the ministry in the past. Members were
concerned that a serious accident will have
to occur before MTC rectifies the situation.
Hydro plan adopted
Council decided to purchase four high
pressuredights and locate them according to
the plan suggested by Ontario Hydro.
The lights will be placed on Stark, George,
Blair and Taflourd Streets.
Council also discussed the street lighting
plan for the business area.
Reeve Dave Johnston suggested placing
one of the new lights in the downtown,
district about a week before the ratepayers'
spring meeting, to allow the group input into
the street light decision.
Councillor Lloyd Huffman was against the
idea and said council is empowered by the
citizens. of Bayfield to make the decision.
The decision should be made now and
crossing
without input from the ratepayers' associa-
tion, he said.
Reeve Johnston replied that to determine
the type of lighting best suited to the Main
Street he hoped to "assemble as much infor-
mation as possible."
Purchase investigated
Village lawyer Paul Ross was asked to do
preliminary work to establish the viability
of the Harbour Lights Developments Ltd. of-
fer of a parcel of land east of Highway 21 on,
the Bayfield River.
The preliminaries include investigating
the village's zoning bylaw and contacting
the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authori-
ty to discover how the property could be
developed.
The parcel of land was offered to council
in a letter read at the Oct. 1 meeting. The
company estimated the land to be worth
$225,000.
