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 Perfect shops for a perfect village and open the very thing we need in this near to perfect town. Our churches had visiting , clergy this week as both Mr. Murray and Mr. Bell were on their traditionaPpost Christmas holiday.

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.

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 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.
