By Helen Owen
Plans for Loeal Government Week in
Bayffeld include display in the windows of
the Archives Room and an invitation from
the Reeve and your village councillors to
ilomeOt with them informally for coffee and
cookies on Thursday evening Jan. 17:
between 7 and 8 p.m.
It is also hoped that Bayfield school
children will provide a display of their inter-
pretation of local government.
Loyal Government Week merits a ionic
back, and in Bayfield it is recorded that
under a special Act of legislation Bayfield
was incorporated as a village (1767 acres)
on Jan. 10, 1876 with a population of 700.
Prior to that it had been administered by
Stanley Township whose first council
meeting was held in 1836. Both the reeve and
clerk to: the council were well known
citizens, Mr. D.H. Ritchie and Mr. W.W.
Connor. It was Connor who served as clerk
and subsequently became the first reeve of
Bayfield on its incorporation.
In 1927 the demands for Hydro and the
prohibitive cost caused the village tp
become disincorporated, and it then became
a police village until 1965. At that time due
the initiative of Brig. F.A. Clift the village

Our churches had visiting , clergy this
week as both Mr. Murray and Mr. Bell were
on their traditionaPpost Christmas holiday.
Mr. Les Greenwood of Parkhill took the
services at St. Andrew's United, while Mr.
George Anderson officiated at Trinity
Anglican.
The annual meeting at St. Andrew's is
called for Jan. 22 at 8 p.m. in the church,
while the vestry meeting of Trinity Anglican
will be held in the Parish Hall, January 28.
Officers of the various organizations of both
churches should be hard at work, writing
the annual reports required for the suc -
cessful operation of any organization, be it
church or state.

have returned after an extended motor trip
through 'the United States, visiting their
family in Chicago, North Dakota and South

Bayfielders are naturally just a little
smug, after all, we chose to live in this pic-
turesque town with its pure air, beautiful
sunsets and kindly people, couldn't be better
that's a surety.
However, we now have several empty
stores and new ones nearing completion on
the Main Street. The question is, what would
we like to see established in these proper-
ties.
The L.A.C.A.C. has worked very hard to
maintain the historic aspects of the Main
Street and our business people really
endeavour not to duplicate each others mer-
chandise, but what would we the consumers
like to have in town?
We used to have an excellent variety store
in the building now being renovated by Mr.
Israel, to which he is moving his Red Pump
Gift Shop. There you could buy alD manner
of trivial seeming items, not now available
in town although the Village Market, the
NIP and Tuck and The Cheese Nook do
endeavour to have a number of such -items
in stock.

the council was made up of Brig. Clift as

and Phyllis Maloney as clerk treasurer.
John Lindsay was the road superintendent,
Lloyd Makins issessor and building in-

The first woman to serve on council was
Mrs. Milvena Erickson but she was not the
last and Mrs. Gwen Pemberton and Mrs.
Barbara Sturgeon have followed in her
footsteps. The present council also has a
woman member, Mrs. Helen Owen.
