sports activity in the Fair Ground.
It is interesting that heritage sponsorship

Ministry!
The Woodstock team was batting and it
was interesting to note that the Huddy fami-
ly was represented by three generations,
grandfather Sid, father Roy and his son
Troy. Despite Bayfield's attempts to thwart
thein efforts, the match went to Woodstock
who scored 104.

ecumenical service will be held in, Pioneer
Park at 8 p.m. This lovely event, first held
as part of Canada's 100th birthday at the
suggestion of Mr. Beck, the United Church
minister at that time, is one occasion when .
we can show our thankfulness together for
the blessing of living in this beautiful,
village, or indeed visiting here. The park
itself is a perfect example of the good things
we enjoy, its existence solely due to the
generosity of those people, who joined the
association to preserve this last piece of free
lakeside for the enjoyment of all who come.

tournament at Benmiller on August 17. This
will end the season, except for the party. A
date has yet to be spt.
Hope it's not too late to offer birthday
greetings to Jack McLaren from his friends
and admirers in Bayfield. We are indebted
to him for many things, best known perhaps
is the skill and artistry he has used in
immortalizing many of our now altered or
moved old buildings which made up the
streetscape of yesteryear.
We remember too . how graciously he
accepted the invitation of Elva Metcalf to
appear at our Centennial Happening in the
Square. A real trouper, he sang the World
War I songs made famous by the Dumbells,
when he was a member of their troupe. The
audience loved him.
A gift to us also was his acting as a judge
at our Children's Art Show in the town hall.
He looked for talent and imaginations-ather
making an award by a set of board of
education rules. _
His interviewer did not mention his witty
book "Lets All Hate Toronto" published in
1956 by Kingswood House. It is a romp
through Toronto history profusely
illustrated with splendid cartoons. There is
a centerfold entitled "Doing King" which
shows the fashionable and not so of the
populace parading on King Street the one
time place to see and be seen.
One wishes he would come and draw our
Main Street these days as the long and the,
short, the wide and the thin "do','
Street, Bayfield. • ' ,
Many happy returns, Sir, we do not forget
your kindness..A note to the wise, if you are
lucky enough to spot a copy of 'Lets All Hate
Toronto" do not hesitate, buy it, it is a real
collector's item.
Meeting successful
' By Doris Hunter •
BAYFIELD - The . Pioneer Park
Association held a highly successful annual
meeting on August 10 and for once the
weather was'gracious•to them.
The retiring president, George Fellows,

improving the various activities in which
the club is involved were. given by Torrie
McKenzie convenor of the rummage sale,
Professor ' Walter Thompson, who has
arranged the entertainment for the season
and also from the committee on the park's
main concern, the erosion. Neil Mustard will
head a committee for further study and.
work on the program.

lots, . bequested to the Pioneer Parks, from
the village, and in answer to a request from
the Association a permanent plaque will be
mounted on the site to the effect, The Jowett
Lands deeded to the village by Pioneer
Park.
Councillor Jim Quick is arranging this
with help from the Marina Committee.
It was decided on legal advice that the
Peters' claim to their encroachment on
Pioneer Parks had no validity and a letter
will be sent each year to.them to assert that
they are trespassing and should vacate park
property.
A motion was passed for the park to be
closed to the public for one day in each year
to show that the property is privately owned
by. the Association. Many people have a
misconception on this point.
It in fact has never been public• property
