WEDNESDAY NIGHT
St. Columban and Walton
Start From Scratch ,
Monday Night.
• -St. Columban and Walton' battled
to a "one -all tie in the opening game
of the . Huron Football League finals
at SL Coiuniban Wednesday night,
before nearly 1,000 soccer fans. The
next game will be •played in Walton
Monday night, "and since total goals
count the rivals start from scratch.
The game was • another thrilling,
closely contested and, hard -checking
affair, with: a' brief fistieuff• display
cropping up in the second half, when.
LeoRyan of the Saints was penaliz-
ed for charging, and, while' he was off
Walton knotted the count, with""Bob'
Bennett caging •the pigskin,
With about 20 minutes gone in• the
first half,. Wilf McQuaid scored for
the. Irish, and when Leo Ryan receiv-
ed his penalty with about ten min-
utes gone'in the second half, Bennett
tied• it up. • .
St. Columban, as in previous games,
dribbled too:much when within scor-
ing range, thereby nullifying some
nice efforts, and on two. occasions•
shots hit the 'goal post. ' Walton fired
from Longer range and most of their
drives were right on the target.

Women clutched 0,0 skirts and

publicly pprtray their concern,
attempted to keep their eyes
turned in every direection when a'
swarm- of -bees took control "of,
Main Street Thursday afternoon..
After a series of passes at traf-
fic on the street, the swarm set-
tled on a chimney above the Cyr..
A. Whitney store. At press time
the bees had settled down and
appeared from thestreet as d
solid mat, which almost com-
pletely covered the chimney top.
Mr. Whitney, however, was un-
able to settle down. He was
busy seeking some hardy • apiarist
who would climb onto the roof'
and entice the swarm into a hive.
Clare Reith„ Seaforth
apiarist, did the job and the
swarm is now safely in a hive.'

• Our holidays are over and we are
-!back at our desk. We dpent our holi-
vlays at our favorite summer resort,
Ea-yfield. We had heard of changes in
Bayrfield—the formation of a Lions
Club, which sounded, ominous, a new
highway brridrge and 'earioud 'busine'ss
alterations. Was Bayfield becoming
snoderhiized? ' Vitas- the charm Of ,Bay-

We can .assure our readers that
Bayfield is still ,Bayfield The wan-
,dering streets laid out a hundred
• years ago for a big city still have the
name ,gravel or grassy sidewalks.
They are still shaded by magnificent
elms, •maples• and chestnuts which
gnust;lave been planted by the pio-
neers of a century ago, The gardens
are bright with roses, lilies, daisies
and 'delphinium; the lawns are, as
green and fresh as ever. There are
still no hot dog stands and only one
'juke box and it is seldom that any-
,,,vne is daring enough to play it. The
41•ance ball only operates twice a
week and ft is so far across the rlv-
+er, hidden in a grove, that its distant
music only adds to the atmosphere of

The ,most popular spot in the Sea -
forth distriet during the past week is
the Seaforth Lions Park, if attend.
ance at the park can be taken as an
indication. Total attendance, since
the beginning of the present heat
wave a •week ago will set a new re-
cord, it is believed: From early in
the morning until late at night, the
park and, pool have been crowded.
with people from miles around, all
anxious to enjoy the cool breezes
and pleasant surroundings of the
Lions Park. •
The crowds have presented a prob-
lem to the pavilion staff, who despite
greatly increased supplies of ice
cream and pop, have hard to hang out
the 'sold out' sign on•'olore than one
occasion. ,
On Wednesday, in addition to the
many individual groups at the park,
two large buses containing nearly 100
Clinton children, spent the afternoon
at the park. The Clinton Lions Club

Who knows your prowess understands
That mud or snapping turtles cute,-
Or

That. either, of these did straighten
your hook,
But a beauty of a speckled trout
'Which unluckily Yob just didn't get
out,
After him you'd played with cunning
hand
When the book it bent just when
you'd land. '
How oft from many a whirling pool

BAYFIELD GROUP TO
DEVELOP PARK
Seek 'To Preserve Area Ad-
jacent To Sunset Point •
On Bay-field•Terrace.
Recently a charter has been grant-
ed Iso . ,in organization in Bayfield
whose first objective 'is to purchase
and develop tis a park that parcel. of
land adjacent to the Sunset Point on'
Bayfield Terrace. As, a tribute to our
forefathers who cleared the 'lanil and
established a settlement here, it ,will
be' known as Pioneer Park: •
When the land at'•the mouth of the
Bayfield RI ser was purchased by
Baron de Tuyll more than, a century
ago, he made a design for a town
which would be „spaciously planned,
v,•ith broad shady avenues 'as in some
of ttie European cities with which he
was familiar. ' The first log house in
Bayfield ways erected to accomrtho-
date••the men employed by the baron
to lay out his new city in the new
world. This first builda,g was locat-
ed at the northeast cornei1 of the land
to be preserved as' a park. Many of
,the -: oldeF • ci•tizens today- •remsmber
the .two -stores- building, owned for so
many years by the late John Fergu-
son. ,One may still see the depres-
sion which was the cellar of the "Old.
Riley boarding house" for de Tuyl1's
men, • It is fitting that this 'historic
site in .Bayfieid should .be'marked.
In the ant•uhin of 1944 a petition to
Stanley Townsheip was circulated urg-
ing tilt- purchase of this land for a
park. The village trustees were in
favor of the project, but it was not
comr5leted before the end..ot' the yea}'.

Some months Ago when it was seen
that: a deficit would,result from the

with the problem of either raising

municipal assistance; The . problem
was brought,to the attention of those
"Municipal., councils the residents of
which use Scott Memorial 'Hospital
facilities with a. proposal that •if a
grant based) on a schedule which had
been worked, out by'the hospital' audi•.
tors was given, no extra charge would
be niade .on the residents of the run-,

total number •)f patient days during.
-the first six months of the year in
'relation to the estinh•ate.d., deficit.
We '.were forced with raising addi-

of the board explained, and under
the system we have introduced it can
be spread over an entire municipality
in which case the cost to any one,
taxpayer in a year •will, be but a few.
cents, or it can be, left to, those •citi-
zeas unfortunate enough to require
hospitalization to pay., an additional .
$1.00 a day : over and above What al-
ready may the an expensive sickness.,
However, the decision rests with the
municipal ' epuncils.
Mr. Scott pointed out that the way•
is still' open for any municipal coun-
cil to change its mind and' provide
for. a grant. If this is done,. rebates
iii any additional charge. >
'agai:nst residents of such munieipah-
.ties will be given.
