In some types of soil the freezing temperatures create enough suction to draw water from the unfrozen ground below forming ice len- ses in the soil and causing even larger heaves in the pavement surface. • Conversely, thawing of the pavement from the surface downward releases water into the road base and because of the frozen ground below, this water is trapped. The ac- cumulated water together with the looser state of the soil and road base material as a result of heaving, weakens the pavement structure con- siderably. As a result, the ability of the .. • Land Use Confere.nce—,The program committee especially urge all rural and urban people with an interest in planning and land use to attend.

Over the past few decades, as pavements have been rebuilt, they have been strengthened to allow the maximum per- missible axle loads on a year- round basis. However, also during this period, the size and weight of commercial vehicles have increased at a very rapid rate, and permissible axle loads have risen to their present value of 20,000 lbs. Some of the less-travelled roads have not been rebuilt to the newer standard and they must be protected from undue damage during the Spring thaw period by the imposition of the half load restriction. r • CANADA'S *%•,..

During 1972 evangelistic ser. ices were started in the provincial park of Point Farms, successful Daily Vacation Bible School was held, and the congregation participated in the Evangelism Thrust discussion groups.

The church council decided against having a baptism Sunday once a month and is still waiting for a supplement to our hymns.

A committee will look into what we as church could do in this field. The chairman expressed ap- preciation to all those members who made it possible to carry on as church in 1972. Many members are actively engaged in the work of the church. This readiness and dedication is much appreciated. He also thanked the congregation for a present he and his wife received. This gift and thought fullness showed a wonderful spirit on the part of the congregation. There was thankfulness in the hearts of all for the many blessings our Lord bestowed upon us in the past and gave us in that meeting. The chairman closed the meeting in prayer and thanks to God. COMP-ACT YOUR CONCERN Consumers' Association of Canada reminds Canadians that because of the recent elec- tions, the proposed Com- petition Act, Bill C-256, has been deferred by the federal government for future con- sideration. This bill is designed to strengthen legislation to prorhote competition. It sets up a Competitive Practices Tribunal to review proposed mergers or other changes in producer relationships and to suggest arrangements that will ensure any cost reductions and product improvements being passed on to the consumer. Bill C-256, if passed, will benefit all Canadians. But it will never be passed if it is not placed before the House. CAC suggests writing to your federal Member of Parliament.

St, Matthew's United Methodist Church in Lubbock, Texas, and Indian Hills United Methodist Church, Overland Park, Kansas, -have come to grips with the central idea of what a church member is, bet.- ter than anyone else this columnist has yet seen. Both of these congregations list their pastor's name , as the pastor, and then add, "Ministers: Each church mem- ber", Members ARE the church, you know, I don't mean they "ought to be", I mean they are, There are some who come to a church because of who the pastor is, but more come OTTAWA - A new post office is to be built in Bayfield, under a $29,970 contract awarded to a Seaforth firm, Public Works Minister ,J.E. Dube announced last week. Smithe Construction submitted the lowest of three tenders, The highest bid was $32,395. This project comes under the federal government's Special Employment Plan, The post office is to be a one- storey wood-frame building, measuring 29 by 29 feet, to be constructed on a concrete slab on grade with, I• concrete block foundation. It will be heated by oil-fired forced air and have air conditioning. The ceiling and walls will be of painted drywall and the floors of vinyl asbestos tile. The post office will have a brick exterior finish. Ad- ditional facilities to be included are a parking area and flagpole.

By Ret). Gene Miller because of some member they know and like. And, there are some who leave a church because of what the pastor does or does not do or say. But, there are more' who leave it because they got angry At some member. A bishop 'of a leading denomination, speaking at Oklahoma City University, told his hearers, "We have been taught that a pastor is sent to serve the congregation. This is not true," he added, "A pastor is sent to serve the Lord, ,Jesus Christ, He ministers to the congregation, as ,they minister to each other and to him, But he serves his Lord." is to be completed in May 1973, Plans and specifications were prepared by the federal Depart- ment of Public Works. The project manager is R,J. Ivens of the department's regional office in Toronto, His thesis was not that, therefore, the pastor was to simply limit his witness to the approval of his people, but to proclaim what he thought to be the Word of the Lord in the midst of the congregation, He had no other standard of proficiency in his trade than whether he was true to what God wanted said and done, regardless of the willingness of society to hear and obey, A word coming into more and more frequent use in church circles is "enabler". It reflects the pastor's role as the one whose leadership and devotion to truth and quality of life will "enable" the congregation to minister to each other. He does not "do something to or for" the mem- bers. He leads them, Gone , hopefully, is the day when a pastor must insult people by inviting them to their own church, or insult their maturity by soft-peddling the hard claim of the Cross, or in- fer lack of devotion by trying to entertain them, or play word games with human life. It's time clergymen posted the sign, "If you're 'shopping for a church', this one is not for sale." ••••••••••••,....s. GRAPEFRUIT IDA F FoR 99c With the harsh winter weather conditions and the heavy volume of truck traffic on Ontario's road network, it is necessary each year during the Spring break-up period for the ministry of transportation and communications and the municipal road authorities to restrict vehicle loads on certain roads. In southern Ontario this situation occurs during the months of March and April and extends over a three-month period from March through May in Northern parts of the Province. During this period, loaded axle weights of commercial vehicles using roads designated for half-load restrictions are limited to 10,000 lbs. on each axle, which is half of the maximum axle load permitted during the rest of the year. In 1971 changes were made to the Highway Traffic Act to place the restriction on in- dividual axles rather than on the gross load on the vehicle, thereby permitting reasonable pay loads providing the vehicle has' sufflici•ent wheels •i-to distribute the load and still keep within a safe level. In the past few years, the number of roads affected by the half load restriction has been reduced considerably and most of the main long distance high- ways and freeways are free of the restriction. Local weather and road con- ditions determine the length of time the restriction will be in effect and authorities try to keep this to a minimum within these considerations. Half load restrictions are necessary because winter tern- WELCOME FARMERS FARMERS WHERE: THE LEGION HALL SEAFORTH WHEN: MONDAY MARCH 12th 1:30P .m. WHY?
