Bayfield H�storical Society
launches history book
ed his personal appreciation for, he said, we
now have a history of the village for future
generations to enjoy, and he thanked Al and
Sharon Brokenshire of A.B. Printers Zurich
for their co-operation.
Copies of the book were available for pur-
chase, and of course, it was possible to have
them autographed on the spot. Another in-
teresting item on display were the
Historical Society's Hasti-Notes. They
marked another event for the Society as
they had been designed by Mrs. Oddleifson
using old pictures of the village. The idea
was to raise funds to provide suitable street
signs and these too, she had designed. It was
unfortunate that these very attractive
markers were stolen.
Among the many, many visitors who
came to compliment the Society on their-,
achievement were Mr. and Mrs. Murray
Cardiff, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Riddell and
Reeve David Johnston.
Throughout the afternoon refreshing
punch and cookies were served by in-
defatigable society members, Peg Willock
and Doris Morrison.
Anyone wishing to obtain copies of the
history book may do so at the library, and
for Bayfield lovers it is certainly a 'must'.

BAYFIELD - The garden of the home of
Ed Oddleifson was a busy place on June 20.
In fact, it was a very special occasion for the
village as it marked the launching of the
recently completed history of the communi-
ty covering the period 1876 to 1985.
Doris Hunter, President of the Bayfield
Historical Society the organization which
had undertaken this project, was on hand to
greet the guests and welcome them. The
Society, she said, had been formed in 1965
and throughout the years had made every
endeavour to foster an interest in the history
of the village. She paid special tribute to
those who had been responsible for the work
• involved, Elva Metcalf, Dorothy Cox,
Milvena Erickson, Gwen Pemberton, Ethel
Poth and Ed Oddleifson.
Mr. Oddleifson began by thanking the
committee for all the time and effort they
had contributed and said he shared in the
pride which they felt with the completion
and publication of the book. He had, he said
received many complimentary remarks on
the contents and presentation and for
himself was delighted that the logo on the
front cover was that which had been design-
ed by his wife, Florrie. He also referred to
the special issue of the newspaper
celebrating the village Centennial in 1976 in
which Jim Fitzgerald, then editor, had pro-
vided such comprehensive coverage,
together with Ethel Poth, the late Vina
Parker and Milvena Erickson. He express-

A visit to the Geritol Follies proved both
highly entertaining as well as stimulating in
that the cast are youngsters with an age
range from 65 to 80 plus. However, the com-
pany presented such a lively and•fast mov-
ing program that their `maturity' seems ir-
relevant. Whether it was the choir, the
dancers or the skits, each section performed
with such verve and expertise.
The quality of the singing, the
choreography and costumes combined to
make this an exceptional production enrich-
ed by their renderings of old, familiar
favorites.
Play Day and Swimming

nounced a new program for children. This

late and children can be registered with the

There were 15 in the China painting
group; Lesley Zolob came down from
Goderich to teach a group of talented artists
how to do this Edwardian craft most
successfully.
The many guests enjoyed a delicious tea,
most attractively served, with such a quan-
tity and variety of fruit loaves, one could
hardly choose among them, Door prizes
were won by Margaret'McHolm, a hand -
painted china plate; Dorothy Cox a hand-
made cushion; Clara Wilson a pottery vase
and Doris Reddoch the lovely centrepiece.
The Historical Society enjoyed seeing so
many of their friends at the book launching
on Saturday. It was good to see Carol Fisher
there purchasing a book to celebrate the
19th anniversary of their marriage on June
22. Moira and Archie Couper arrived with
Jane Davidson. Jane, who bought their
house a year or so ago, was amazed to find a
sterling silver ring in one of her window
boxes. Recognizing it as one belonging to
Archie, she invited them to come to Bayfield
to claim it. Moira and Archie had renewed
their vows on the 25th anniversary of their
wedding and this was one of the two rings
they exchanged at the time.
The fire alarm sounded twice on Sunday,
reminding us of how fortunate we are to
have such a fine up-to-date force we have in
the Bayfield Firefighters.
They are constantly upgrading their
knowledge of new techniques available to

BAYFIELD - The event of this week will
be the Dedication Service at Trinity
Anglican Church on June 24 at 7:30 p.m. Rt.
Rev. Morse C. Robinson will be the
celebrant, when the new Narthex, is
dedicated "to the Glory of God and in
memory of Evelyn Johnston nee Pollock," a
member of one of our pioneer families. On
this occasion too, the new church office "to
the Glory of God and in memory of Canon
Frances Harold Paull," a much loved
former rector of the church will be officially
dedicated. A memorial tree, the gift of the
Hayfield Garden Club, will receive the
Bishop's blessing. It is also in Canon Paull's
memory.
The former entrance to the Church has
been transformed into a very attractive
baptistry, with the addition of a memorial
window, the gift of Flory and Ed Oddleifson.
A dedication service for this addition to the
church will take place. Friends are most
cordially invited to attend this event and to
join the congregation at the reception to be
held in the parish hall, following the service.
Sheena Denise Rogister is the first child to
be baptized in the new baptistry and she
really won the hearts of the congregation, as
she went through the ceremony with all the
poise in the world, though only 2'2 -years -
old. Sheena is the daughter of Kathy and
Chris Itogister.
Graduation exercises for the Grade 8
pupils of Huron Centennial School,
Hrucefield took place on June 22. John Bur-
ton was the recipient of the Ruth Hayman
Elliot Memorial Award. John is the 19th
Bayfield student to receive this prize, which
was presented by John Hayman, brother of
the late Mrs. Elliot.
Ruth had so endeared herself to the
villagers, the award was founded by the
gifts of her many friends at the time of her
untimely death.
Rae and Irma Fraser missed the book
launching on Saturday as Irma wanted to be
with her sister in Ottawa who underwent an
eye operation.
Coming back they were in Guelph for the
reunion of Rae's year at their 50th anniver-
sary. Old friends had a lot of catching up to
do.
The municipal building was the scene of a
very lovely exhibition of the highlights our
craft groups created this winter. A very
large crowd was in attendance, full of ad-
miration for the beautiful articles on
display.
The Recreation Committee sponsors the
three groups represented.
There were 10 enrolled in the pottery
course, which Margaret Chapman in-
augurated several years ago. It was very in-
teresting to observe the professional ar-
tistry now being shown in comparison to the
early effort of the group.
Mildred Merrill, an artist in many ways,
but particularly noted for her knowledge
and creativity in quilting, taught the class of
12, who certainly have become very
proficient.

OPP on patrol in Bayfield
BAYFIEI,D - Weekend partying in this
summer resort an annual problem. Local
citizens complain, saying that there is in-
adequate police patrols.
Bayfield Reeve Dave Johnston says he is
well aware of the partying on the beach and
he has met with representatives from the
Goderich OPP detachment to discuss the'
matter.
"Bayfield is not unique in these pro-
blems," he told council members at their
last meeting.
OPP are aware of the problem, however
manpower limitations prohibit any regular
patrols on public beaches.
Reeve Johnston said that the local OPP
detachment is working to provide more ser-
vice to outlying communities like Bayfield.
A police foot patrol on Bayfield's Main
Street has been proposed. As well the local
OPP force is being staffed by an additional
cruiser and three officers this summer.
The reeve further suggested that when
local citizens wish to complain about party-
ing or other occurances, they should do so
by calling the OPP, not village council
memPers.
"Call the OP15," he urged. "ViThen lyour
complaints are recorded it shows that police
protection is needed. It gives the local
detachment the proof they need that service
is needed."
