BAYFIELD
Dr. Fowler of Toledo, Ont., was in
the village one day recently viewing
the situation with the possibilityof
locating here. Citizens of the vill-
age hope that he decides to take up
the practice here.
Mrs. Chas. Widcombe was the vic-
tim of a painful accident last Tues-
day. As she hurried into the pantry
with a saucepan in her hand, she.
tripped over the corner of a basket
of vegetables which was on the floor
and fell headlong. In the fall the
saucepan flew up and hit her face
and she fell on it, the edge cutting
into her nose which was badly lacer-
ated. One lence of her glasses was
smashed and her face and one knee
very badly bruised. Miss M. Stirling
gave first aid in the absence of a
physician.
Not So Sad Off
. .
Those citizens who had their rad-
ios tuned in to CFRB, Toronto, on
Saturday morning last, learned, thr-
ough Jim Hunter, the talking report-
er of The Evening Telegram, that
the little village of Bayfield which
had been eat off from the rest of the
world for two months, now had aai
outlet since the snowplow Lad open-
ecl. the road' from Goderich. A Bay -
field correspondent wasn't aware of
the fact that Goderich was "the rest.
of the world." The Provincial snow-
plow had cleared the road to Bruce -
field some ten days previous to the
occasion to which Jim Hunter refer-
red. Before that sleighs and snowcar
managed to traverse the extremely
bad roads to Brucefield, and the cit-
izens of Bayfield were only without
mail for one day.
