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'. By Helen Owen 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- .% LETTER FROM DORIS Dedication Lioness News 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 Last week the recreation committee an- nounced a new program for children. This program will run on Thursdays, 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. commencing July 6 through to August 21. The swimming program will commence on June 29. Registration for both programs took place on June 22 but if this was missed it is not too late and children can be registered with the clerk -treasurer at the municipal building - Play Day $12 per child, or $30 per family, and swimming $26 for the two weeks com- mencing June 29.

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 Turn to page 11 By Doris Hunter 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. _.aAYFIELo rOCOEMAND Jay and Cathy Fisher invite you to join us in our FOURTH BIG WEEK OF OUR GRAND OPENING Heritage Farms - 2 Titre round tub Assorted Flavours Premium VERY SPECIAL ICE CREAM Reg. 3.99 NEAL 8's hotdog or hamburg 9 buns .41 at aa.e.00d * o r% Martin's fruit 69 drinks op 4509 ,.¢ Rod Mco Dm Math 'Owl 1 Schneiders wieners 511 Crud.

(Shelley McPhee Haist photo) 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."
