LETTER FROM UQRIS
Working together for a
By Doris Hunter
BAYFIELD - The 40 Pioneer Park Rwn-
inage Sale has passed into history. It was as
always, a smashing success. One young boy
was thrilled to buy all the Hardy Boys
books, a bonanza at 50 cents a piece. Two
would be characters, a little bit older, felt
really rakish wearing remarkable hats they
had acquired.
Another great event in Bayfield, the mak-
ing of a community life, people working
together for a cause - great fun. Watch for
movie nights a the park.
'l'here was a very important council
meeting on Monday night. The fate of the
town hall is in jeopardy and council is ask-
ing for advice. They need your opinion and
mine, since council has to serve all the peo-
ple of the village.
Really, however our, "quaint", heritage
designated district, just like an English
fishing village, or Niagara -on -the Lake
north, take your pick, would be nothing but a
farce without our town hall available to the
public as a town hall. There are ques-
tionaires at the clerk's office to be filled and
a letter with your views, addressed to coun-
cil is what each citizen has a responsibility
to send.
. Quaint" is very popular now a days.
Saturday found the village streets filred with
wonderful vintage cars, beautifully restored
and clipping along at a great rate. I thought
1 was seeing a ghost, when a Chev. Coupe
with yellow wire wheels blue, just like the
first car we owned 55 years ago sailed past.
Jack Reder said there is a new bi-monthly
publication now on the market all about old
autos. The first issue has just appeared. The
Reder's son-in-law is one of the two editors,
Murray Cutler and Murray McEwen. They
are calling it "Old Autos" and the address is
Bothwell NOP 1CO. We'll have to get Steve
Argyle interested again in this fascinating
hobby. They were autos, not cars.
Life certainly goes on, there is a popula-
tion explosive at Marie Fitzsimons! Her
pure bred German Shepherd has produced
IO pups, much to the delight of Vince and
Susie.
Jess Blair had all three daughters at home
this weekend, Ethel from Toronto, Brenda
from Hamilton and Helen and Brigadier
Dave Battye who are newly moved to St.
Catharines. Dave is starting a second
career, having completed the distinguished
military years he started in the Clinton
base, where he met our Helen.
Scotchmer days are fast approaching.
Two hundred and eighty have already pro-
mised to attend. One member of the clan is
great cause
the Rev. David Scotchmer, who is on
furlough from Guatemala, where he serves
the Presbyterian Church U.S. as a mis-
sionary. His home base is in Albany New
York and he will be preaching at St. An-
drew's United Church on July 26.
The Anglicans are baking this week.
Margaret Clift has organized a bake sale to
take place this Saturday in the Parish Hall.
Bake sale bring out true nobility of spirit, as
families watch the goodies, going forth for
someone else to eat. Everything sells very
quickly so be on time. It starts at 11 a.m.
Final plans for the Bayfield Antique Fair
are just about completed. We have two mar-
ried couples looking for overnight accom-
modation on the August 7 and 8. Phone Doris
Hunter if you can be of help. Paying guests
used to be very popular here. Mrs. Young's
pleasant bed and breakfast home, is booked'
a year in advance by the Antique Dealers
who come to the show.
Dogs, man's best friend, are not allowed
to run loose in Bayfield. Accompanying
them on a bicycle is not enough. Four very
overwrought Siamese cats were attacked
twice in one morning in their own donairs.
Dogs must be on a leash. ( The cats won. )
Our sympathy to the Gammages in the
loss of Bill's father.
Tradition .continues in Bayfield
By Helen Owen
I3AYFIELD - Perpetuating what has now
become a tradition, the Pioneer Park
Association held its 40th Rummage Sale in
the arena on .July 10.
The foregoing week was one of tremen-
dous activity collecting and sorting items
•donated for the big night, and then, sharp at
8 I)•m. the doors'were opened and the long
queue of eager purchasers crossed the
threshold. 'There were some 28 stalls offer-
ing a selection of items from treasures to
clothing, furniture, household goods, books,
toys and baking. The more experienced
buyers quickly identified the area of their
needs, whilst newcomers wandered around
uttering cries of delight when they
discovered the wonderful bargains, that
were available.
Attendance appeared to be well up to nor-
mal and a continuous stream of people add-"
cd to the first -comers: Although the final
figures were not available it was estimated
that the fund raised for the Park were on a
par with those of last year. The lucky win-
ners of the "Huron Treasurers Draw" were
picked during the course of the evening.
Pioneer Park is privately owned and
maintained for the benefit of the public and
it is the tenacity and effort of the member-
ship over the years that have preserved this
delightful site. Membership of the Associa-
tion is $5 per year, or life membership - $50.
New members are always welcome to take
out membership at any time.
This year's conveners were Ruth Brown
incl Anrie Tillman. Setting up this 'multi -
department store' for just one night re-
quires much hard work and organization,
especially during this very hot spell.
Grateful thanks are expressed to the
members, the co-opted assistants, the pick
up gang and the arena staff, as well as'to all
those members of the community and
general public who, once again,
demonstrated such whole hearted support.
Bayfield on TV
During the past week, Bayfield was
featured on a Channel 10 news item which
suggested 'controversy' in the village
because of the increased business activity
and influx of visitors during the summer
months. There is, of course, something to be
said on both sides for residents of many
years do find this period a little
overwhelming.
However, it is for a comparatively short
period and for the many visitors the trees,
the green sidewalks, the sparkling waters of
the lake must prove a wonderful relief from
the hustle and bustle of the city.
And 1 can't help thinking that a visit to
Bayfield must be one of the more enjoyable
assignments of the TV crew - did th y have
time for a meal and a swim, I wondbr?
Where She Left It
Despite some unnecessary vandalism
which occurs from time to time, it seems
that people are basically very honest. Last
weekend, the parents of one of the children
taking part in the sports left her bicycle
resting against a tree in Clan Gregor
Square, and forgetting all about it, walked
home. It was not until the following evening
that she recalled the bicycle, and hardly
daring to hope, walked hack to the square.
Much to her delight, there was the bicycle
just where she had left it, none the worse for
its night out.
And another story this week of a
remarkable piece of luck. Annie Johnston
set about the stripping and finishing of an
old settee. First of all it was necessary to
remove large quantities of horse hair, straw
and newspaper, all part of the stuffing. No
precious board of coins was revealed,
although it seemed that the tooth fairy had
dropped an odd tooth at some time!
The operation was carried out and the
miscellaneous contents dumped in two
white plastic bags which found their way to
the dump. Then it was that Anne found a dia-
mond missing from the ring she was wear-
ing, one that had belonged to her
grandmother.
It seemed like looking for a needle in the
haystack, but nevertheless Annie decided
that it might be worthwhile to retrieve the
bags and examine the contents - the effort
proved worthwhile.and the missing diamond
was found.
Baseball
Playing at Blyth this week the Mites not-
ched up their third _muccessive_.;with $a
score of 16-4.
The Squirts played in Gqderich but unfor-
tunately their game had to be abandoned
because of rain. However, they will be play-
ing in Bayfield on Wednesday next - come
along and show some support.
BAYr ILD

Once again, Bayfield's annual rummage sale was a huge success. Susie Wachhaus I left),
Carolyn Scotchmer and Anita VanderWouden were only three of the many people who
came out to get a bargain. The rummage sale is held each year to support Pioneer Park.
