Unfortunately a prolonged meeting of County Council prevented the reeve from attending. Despite the weather some two dozen people made the effort to come out and enjoy a friendly exchange with their councillors,- clerk -treasurer and road superintendent. On display, and creating much interest, were some projects of the school children. These included brochures, from some of which the Canada Company might have picked up a few points, as they had been designed for the purpose of attracting new settlers to the Huron Tract. These exarnples elicited many complimentary remarks on lay -out, design, originality .and informative material. Also on display were a series of letters, some addressed to the Warden of Huron County, and others to Councillor Owen. The former were mostly concerned with the Mill Road, obviously a sore point with children travelling to -and from school. The Bayfield Children dealt almost exclusively with their observations on.thework being carried out on the beach at Pioneer Park. This, is not a Dear Mrs. Owens; project of the Village Council, but a project Is the Bayfield Council sure that the pro - which has been undertaken by the Pioneer blem of erosion at Pioneer Park is at the Park Association, and is in fact funded by break water? Could the cause of erosion not that organization with the primary objec- be from the stream that is running Dear Mrs. Owen . I don't think the cement cylinders on or in Pioneer Park are a good solution to the ero- sion problem. Being a teenager and knowing how many people tan and swim on the beach I think you have stareted Bayfield rolling on a downhill level. The cottagers will arrive in spring and summer, go down to Pioneer Park and see the cement. You can't go swimming there and even -if you did you would not be able to get past them. The erosion willpull away the sand from around them all summer and justput it back. Then once again to be pulled outwith the lake. By the time the cylinders are covered peo- ple won't want to go down there anyway. There is nothing youcan do about it now that I know. But don't do any more along the beach. Because you won't be making any friends for the town. Thanks for taking my opinion seriously. Chanda Chilton. underground. Does the Council plan on putting these concrete cylinders along the whole beach? From living in Bayfield for the past two years I know that all of the cottagers and tourists go down to the beach to get a good tan and cool off. What are people going to. think when they go down to Pioneer Park to go swiinining and see all of these. concrete cylinders at break water. • Jennifer Murray local erosion work Dear Mrs. Owen, I•am writing because I think the erosion is a problem the whole town is involved in.

Where will we flay to get a tan? Where will young people walk in the moonlight? SAVE OUR BEACH! ! ! I have lived in Bayfield all but one year we moved but came back, the beach is where all five of us children in our family learned to swan and build sand castles! Dear Mrs. Owen; What is the point of putting big stone ce- ment things at the beach below Pioneer Park. Brig. Smith's house and the two house beside it need it the most. Especially the bit gray house I used to live there and it lost three feet of land every spring. The new owners are spending $100,000 to fix it. Thank you for reading this.

For some such weather is stimulating, a chance to snowmobile or indulge in cross country skiing. However, for others challenging the elements has meant clearing the highways, fighting fires, repairing damage, ensuring supplies and rescuing the stranded, tasks handled with determination essential in overcoming the discomforts, distress and danger. Maintaining news coverage under such wild conditions may also prove hazar- dous and uncomfortable! But what about the average householder no longer a member of the work force, or unable to get to work? The onset of severe winter conditions can also be a revealing ex- perience. Isolation, even for a short period may, initially, produce a state of euphoria. Here is 'a chance to sleep in, no need to get dressed, no hurry to meet deadlines, a pause in momentum. Insulated against the routine demands of every day existence now is the opportunity to catch up on all those magazines and books, answer those outstanding letters, listen to music and radio programs. And what warmth and romance is evoked thumbing through old travel brochures and planning a holiday for next year, bathed in sunshine and the sparkling waters so invitingly illustrated in the leaflets. Then it becomes necessary to venture out- side to shovel some of the snow threatening to seal off the doors, and feed the birds. Deprived of their normal sources ' of sustenance by the thickly encrusted snow they quickly locate the replenished trays. Crimson, blue, grey, brown and black, hungrily devouring the seed, they provide a study of bird life far superior to any wild life TV program complete with dazzling white background and snow laden trees. However, prolonged isolation is something to which the majority of us are unaccustomed, and the mood changes. Lit- tle anxieties nibble at the edge of con- sciousness. Suppose one becomes ill? What if the power fails - no. heat, no light, no telephone! Is there sufficient wood for the fire: where are the spare candles? Are there enough? How will the supplies of bread and milk hold out? When were the prescriptions last renewed? Then, at this point of rising concern, the telephone's familiar ring, the voice of a friend, a run down on the news (for at this time four days have elapsed since the last time a regular trip to the Post Office provid- ed such an exchange), the driveway will be Turn to page 11 • New Ritz deck st be reniove.d Clerk Treasurer Pat Graham, one of those benefiting from the raise, 'said the village has a problem in that the surrounding municipalities are paying their employees ' more than Bayfieldcan afford for its employees.

BAYFIELD - After several months of .con- sideration, Bayfield village council decided at the Jan: 21 meeting .to .deny permission for an .encroachment onto village lands re- quested by businessman Roger Pemberton.

Bayfield council has a policy of not allow- ing encroachments on the main street for commercial gain. • After the matter was referred to the local Architectural Conservation Advisory Com- mittee (I.ACAC), council delayed a decision until the last meeting. . Personnel receive raise - Council decided to grant village personnel a six per cent raise for the coming year. The village has four employees affected by the decision.
