logs obtained from the bush on Mr. Anderson's farm. In this.

WELL, YESTERDAY MAY
have been the first day of sum-
mer, but it didn't feel very much
lake it! . Although the sun
shone brilliantly, the ` official
temperature reached oniv 68,
which is not very hot in any
man's country . , There also
was a breeze blowing . . A
year ago, it was 84 ..
C a s,
AND, TOO, IT WAS THE LONG -
est day of the year . . Just
think, from now on, the days
will be coming shorter again,
although, to date, summer weath-
er has been conspicuous by its
absence ,
*
THE TRITEST COMMENT WE
heard on the cool weather the
first of the week was; "Some-
body must have left the `frig
door open!" . . . An d that's
just about the way it felt
Officially, the record showed it
was only two . degrees above
freezing on Sunday ,
EARLY THIS MORNING, THE
area was visited by a real elec-
trical storm, accompanied by
buckets of rain, but the sun
emerged later . , The forecast
was for sunny skies and scattered
showers today, with temperatures
range from 45 to 70 . .

As far as we could figure,
the only man now doing busi-
ness on the main street then
and now was Harry Bartliff who
was listed as a grocer . C.
Hoare was recorded as a dealer
in music and pianos . Mind
you, there were a good many
firms listed whose successors are
still going strong . ,

fountain to the Town Hall yest-

an outlet, William Cook and

Mr. Cook recalls that these cob-

this point about half a century

OLD FASHIONED
BARN RAISING
WELL ATTENDED
Bob Thompson, a 72 -year-old
who scoffs at the idea he is get-
ting old, balanced expertly on a
foot -thick cross beam 20 feet up
in the framework of the barn,
and shouted encouragement to
the sweating crews beneath.
"Heave. Go. Heave. Go." The
men manning the pike poles took
up the chant of Alex Dennis,
Walton, as they heaved another
section of the stout framework
of John Anderson's batten into
place.
Nimble -footed Bob Thompson
applauded.
"Best Banged barn raising I've
been at for years," he exclaimed,
"and I've been going to 'em since
I was 12."
Old -Fashioned Bee
Bob's spirit was typical of the
55 men who flocked to the farm
of Mr. Anderson, two miles west
of Kippen, ro throw up the big
barn's framework in a scant five
hours in an old-fashioned "bee."
Shortly after noon, cars began
arriving at the Anderson farm
from all directions.
By one o'clock, the men were
lugging the first huge beams up
to the barn site, and manhandling
them into place. By six o'clock,
the last wooden peg had been
hammered home and the frame-
work was complete.
"We haven't seen anything like
this- in this district for years,"
said Mr..Anderson. "The boys
are really going at it"
Months of Planning
Though the actual barn -raising
was a matter of hours, months
of work and planning went into
preparation for this day.
"I've been working on it for
six months," said the owner.
He explained that trees from
his own bush had supplied the
timber for the new barn. It had
taken weeks to have the logs
sawn, notched and piled in prop-
er order in readiness for the
building "bee."

women having joined," Mrs.
Fingland stated. The support and
enthusiasm of these members,
the generosity of the business
folk and the help and :contribu-
tions of men, women and child-
ren of the district, have made
all these things possible.
"Much has been done but much
remains to be done. The needs
of the hospital are inexhaustible
and we must not weary of well
doing.
"The Aid so far this year has
raised only $447.57, so it has not
asked a great deal financially
from the public," Mrs. Fingland
pointed out, "It plans some fund-
raising events, for the fall as its
finances are exhausted; some $38
only will remain in the treasury
when all bills are paid.
"The generosity of the public
in the past has been great. The
Hospital Aid solicits that same
generosity for the future."

(By our Bayfield correspondent)
The first of four special `ser-
vices to mark the,100th anni-
versary of the forming of Trin-
ity Church Parish, Hayfield,
was held on 'Sunday mornnig,
June 18, at t 11 a.m. Actually,
this 'is the 101st anniversary
but the celebration, which was
planned • last year, was post-
poned owing to 'the Rector's
illness,
The service was conducted by '
the Rector, Rev. Laverne. Mor-
gan, and the special speaker was
the Dean of Huron, Rev. R. C.
Brown, St. Paul's Cathedral,
London.
It was a service so inspiring
that it will live long in the
memory of those' who were pres-
ent. One was carried back 100
years when the pioneers — men
and women of character and de-
termination, with a will to work
-gathered for Divine Worship In
the log school house -some walk-
ing from Varna and the Town
Line (boundary between Hay and
Stanley Townships).
Then one thought of the joy
which must have been theirs
when they assembled for the first
service after the little church fin-
ally was roofed and had windows
in it; and then down through
the years of all the other occas -
lees of rejoicing and thanksgiv-
ing, of vows spoken and pledges
given; of spiritual awakening and
dedication, and sadness, too, when
loved ones were laid to rest.
One felt the presence of all
those worshippers — Priests end
laity — whothrough the years
maintained Trinity and kept the
faith of their fathers, and now,
that they, the unseen, host, re-
joiced again on this occasion.
Owing to unfortunate circum-
stances the re -decorating has not
yet been completed and so chairs
were used to seat the congrega-
tion. A public address system
enabled those outside to take part
in the service.
Following morning prayer and
the hymn of Dedication, the
Church Wardens, J. E. Hovey and
Lloyd Scotulmlee proceeded' to
the front of the church. Mrs. R.
B. F. Gairdner read the offertory
sentences and Miss Mabel Hod-
gins the following list of mem-
orial gifts:
' 'Cathedral lighting fixtures, in
memory of Lloyd Clifford Arnott
Hodgins, given by his sisters,
Miss Mabel Hodgins, Toronto, and
Mite Cameron MacNeil, Cleve-
