RATES INCREASE Harvey Taylor, prucefleld, reported that auto rates for CIA policyholders had been raised 4 percent this year, but noted that other companies had increased their rates as much as 15 percent, This was due, he said, to the loss ratio which in JanearY was well over 70 per- cent, meaning that of every dol, lar taken in, '70c was paid out in claime. The Brucefield man explained that operating cost alone re- quired 34 of every dollar, in- dicating the reason why the pre, mium had to be raised, --Engel photo MRS.

MacLaren pointed out his position at the meeting of South Huron District High School Board when he told them he felt Grand Bend would sup- port the addition to the school, only to find out from a member of the press that the village had not supported the addition. He scolded clerk Murray Des- Jardins for not passing along to him the decision of council, in time that he would be pro- perly informed before the board meeting. Reeve Stewart Webb stated that the village had not "turned down" the addition. -- Continued from front page Mayor Simmons explained this appeared to be the average annual cost of pools in the area. The figure was challenged by both Wooden and Boyle, who pointed out that costs of life- gua r d s and instruction have been met by Kinsmen and by the town in previous years. The mayor indicated he wasn't sure just what the $1,500 included. The figure was approved, but Wooden requested a separate accounting of the pool operation at year's end. The $1,500 increase for the community centre operation raises the budget from $2,000 to $3,500. The mayor said the $2,000 was not needed for op- erating expenses but repairs are required to the arena roof, which has been leaking since the sagging arches were raised. Increased wage s and the town's new pension program were among the reasons for the $400 increase in the rec- reation budget. The requisition was for $4,200, compared to last year's $3,800.

Mrs. Colley herself received $100. This she generously shared with the other employees of the Lucan store. Mrs. Jack Evers of Granton won the second prize which was a camera. It was an exciting half hour in the Lucan IGA store as cameras flashed catching Mrs. Steacy in all kinds of positions from dragging a 100-pound bag of flour to stripping the meat counter.

Councillor Ian Coles is on a business trip for his food whole- sale business in the Maritime Provinces, A request was received from the harbors and rivers branch, Department of Public Works, for an explanation of a heap of earth which had been noted just north of the north pier, Feb- ruary 11. The dep't was con- cerned that the earth might be carried out into the lake if it were allowed to remain until the ice had gone out. Councillors chuckled a little at this, and one of them com- mented, "He was looking the wrong direction. Should have been looking south and wonder- ing about the pile of earth between the piers." The earth was the heap of sand taken out when the village made a test well near the water's edge to discover the amount of water available from this source.

One is the church as a structure, as an or- ganization. "As the Father hath sent me, so have I sent you." The RC church takes those words of Christ literally, he said, and therefore "it has a structure of authority pope, bishop, priest. "We have firm doctrine here, neither does the church contemplate c h a n g in g it." The other concept of the church, also valid, is the Church as the people of God coming to- gether under the Spirit of God. The people in whom the Spirit moves is the church. Men in whom the Spirit of God dwells are part of the people of God. The audience listened in rapt attention to the account of the church loosing its doors, barred for hundreds of years, to recognize the sons and daugh- ters of the church on the other side. 'Any shred of doubt as to the full implications of the speaker's words were dispelled as he quoted from the book of Revelation: "And I saw a mul- titude which no man could num- ber, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stand before the throne and the lamb." The bishop was introduced by Rev. J. E. Kelly, Mt. Carmel, and appreciation was expressed by Rev. S. E. Lewis, pastor of the host church.
