FRE Mr. and Mrs. Leon Bedard of this highway returned to their home on Saturday last after at- tending the funeral of their grandson, Gerard Kochut, in Kitchener. They were accom- panied back by the deceased's parents, Dir. and Mrs. George Kochut. Mr. and Mrs. Greg Flemming and family, of Mount Carmel, were Sunday visitors with Mr, and Mrs. Fred Ducharme. Mr, and Mrs. Noel Laporte of this highway and Mrs, Adeline Denomme motored to London on Saturday last, the former visiting with their son in the Sacred Heart Seminary in Del- aware. Mrs. Tyrus Stansberry, of De- troit, and Mr. Cyril Ducharme, of Windsor, paid a short visit to their parents, Mr, and Mrs. F. Ducharme, on Monday, re- turning to their homes on Tues- day last. The past week -end many cot- tages were filled along the lake, it being the first time for many of them this year. Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Hart- man and family of the Goshen Line south and Mr. Gerald Hartman, of London, and Miss Reta Hogan, of Mount Carmel, were Sunday evening last vis- itors with Mr. and Mrs. F. Du- charme. There is still much grain seeding to be done, due to brok- en weather farm work is a bit behind. According to the old saying the freezing danger is over for this spring, that is if past signs prove favourable. We were told by the older people that when the bumble bees show up and search for blossoms and flowers to start their summer work the danger of frost is past. Well, of late there were many bees flying around so that should be a favourable point for all. Mr. and Mrs, Harry Deitrich and family of the Goshen Line were visitors with the Iatter's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Dolph D DUCHARME Sopha, on Sunday last. Veteran Fish Salesman. In our last article we men- tioned the early years concern- ing the veteran fish salesman, Mr. Sopha, During his venture when still a young man and of many hard- ships, he had to contend with especially during the winters, filled roads with snow making the going hard and for that the uncertainty of being rewarded for his work. We also com- mented on Lucy, the little bay mare, hooked to a sleigh and many times wading deep in snow on the road and laneways to reach his customers. He as- sured us at times the going was disappointing, but he was given courage by his customers to carry on, That was during the depres- sion years, Like all enterprises as the time passed on changes took place during those 50 years or so gone by, and he had to adjust himself to them all, Therefore when the faith- ful Lucy was then well ad- vanced in years and had given service for almost 20 years, and not able to go further, Mr. Sopha then had to make other plans to contine his work. Sometime during the year of 1945, Mr. Sopha bought a 1929 model A Ford which gave him service for almost 20 years going through all kinds of snow and heavy roads when many other cars dared not be 00 the roadways or highways. Mr Sopha disposed of the old Lizzie just recently, and that with re- gret, but her days of service were completed. The veteran fish peddler, who is past the middle way of his 65th year, we believe, may be making plans for retirement in the not too distant future, from where Mr. and Mrs, Sopha will enjoy a quiet home life, bring- ' ing back memories of many past incidents during his over 50 years on the road.

Bayfield Sr S Committee Discuss (Continued from Page 1) Reasons For Objection The ladies cited several rea- sons for Bayfield's strong ob- jection to the threatened clos- ing of their school. They said the school was only ten years old and that Iand had been pur- chased to provide room for fu- ture expansion. This was a di- rective from the department of education, they said, .and a de- benture debt still remained on the school. The also stressed their dislike of the probability that Bayfield children would have to be trans- ported by bus for 12 miles. Mrs. Poth said she was not certain the larger educational unit; were such a great im- provement. She noted that the trend seemed to be back to smaller schools where more in- dividual attention could be given. "Surely you are not suggest- ing, Mrs. Poth," said Burrows, "that larger schools are not ef- fective." "No. If our town is large you have to have a large school," she answered. "In a village the size of Bayfield, I still believe a 4 -room school would provide adequate edu- cat ion." Transient Population The representatives told Bur- rows that the drop in school population in Bayfield from 91 students in June, 1955, to 68 at the present time, was due to a transient population. "At that time we had a great many RCAF people in Bayfield," said Mrs, Poth. "You could say the camp is almost sleeping now.., "Isn't it likely that this will continue?" asked Burrows. "People ... good people .. have indicated they will move in if we have a school," she said. All the ladies agreed that if Bayfield was deprived of a school, it could "kill" the vil- lage's chances to grow. "We still feel the larger school is the best," said Bur- rows.

In Summary "Let me say that this is only the beginning as far as we are concerned," said Mrs. Poth. `I don't think you realize the depth of feeling on the part of people. People feel that we are being pushed around. People come to us - . . we don't go to them. I just can't put it into words it is deeper than you think." "You must still have influ- ence," she continued, "I know that Toronto has a lot to say and the inspectors have a lot to say. You have influence. And I would strongly advise you, for our own sake, not to allows this to continue or per- sist." 0 Church Notes Carmel Presbyterian Splendid congregations at- tended anniversary services in Carmel Presbyterian Church on Sunday last and listened with pleasure to Rev.

The last two weeks have pretty well taken care of the banquets by the different teams and leagues and the bowlers are now resting up for the open- ing of the lanes and the new season, come early fall. Golfing News Bayview golf course is be- coming a popular week -end golfing spot. The managers, Ernie and Elda Laidlaw, are there on week -ends, with the club house open. They are new at the golf management and have been travelling to dif- ferent courses picking up new ideas that they plan on using at Bayview. They hope to form a league and request anyone who knows how golf leagues operate to give them a hand at setting one up at Bayview. The fairways have dried up quite a bit and between the work of the o w n e r, Gordie Smith, and greenskeeper, Mike Corriveau, the greens and fair- ways are in good shape. This newspaper hopes to have the top scores shot each week for publication in the near fu- ture, and request the golfers to turn in their good scores to the Laidlaws each week.

Ice Campaign The hard-working members of the Zurich MAA are almost ready to launch the Artificial Ice Campaign. The MAA mem- bers have been meeting regu- larly and have most of the de- tails for the campaign ironed out. Chairman of the MAA, Doug O'Brien, told us that a rough survey had been made of the potential users of artificial ice. The results shocked us. There are over 800 youths in the area who would come under the (Continued on page eight) JESUS CHRIST 15 LORD! "It is impossible but that stumblings should come, but woe to him through whom they come," Obscene and pornographic literature destroys the souls and personalities of youth, Whoever prints obscene literature is responsible to God for the effect on the youth that the literature and pictures have. Those who sell obscene literature share in the guilt with! those who print it. Older youth who make it available to younger ones are also guilty. "Well for him if a millstone were hanged about his neck and he were thrown into the sea rather than he should stumble one of these little ones."
