He Urged for more ,following of Peter's 0441P le and reiter- ated a famous quotatien, "he who failp to pay tribute to his past, prejudices his future." Rev, Fr, $enffh, of the Grand Bend arid Forest Rc ehurch, also paid tribute tp the pioneer cpllector and said he, had twee ed a great deal from the service in regard to the history of the area, He said the fact that Rev. Carriere had been, French, had brought many Catholics into the Presbyterian church in the early life of the community and this was probably why such French names as Devine and Des Jardine and others in the resort did not belong to his congregation. Jim Dalton, fprmer reeve of the yillage, thanked every- one who took part on behalf of Peter. When Mr. Hoffman called on the owner for a few words, he was told to "let well enough alone."

Holley made some re- marks,noting Mrs. Eisenbach was noted in the community for her dedication. "She did so much for so many," he stated simply. "She forgot about herself in self-giving and helping every- one she possibly could," the former area cleric explained, and noted she had a great and wonderful example and stimulus for her husband and the entire community. He said her influence on Mr. Eisenbach was great in the past and still was in the present. Reeve Stewart Webb brought "thanks" on behalf of the re- sort to Peter for his valuable addition to Grand Bend for the enjoyment of the tourists and residents alike. "It will serve as a living monument to Peter," he stated, in noting the extensive chapel and museum started as a hobby about three or four years ago. Described as a close friend of Peter's, Elmer D. Bell, Q.C., Exeter, noted the chapel was a "great tribute" and the owner of Guelph.

AVAILABLE Peter reported to The T-A that the chapel would be part of the museum and would be open for inspection. It will also be available for any type of service—from baptisms to fun- erals—in the religious line. Some of the interesting his- tory of the chapel furnishings are as follows: The pulpit was taken from the Lamon Church south of Parkhill, the date of that church being erected was 1874; the Bible on the pulpit was supplied by Rev. Grant and was dated 1880; the organ was made in 1888 and came from Elgin Rad- er, Dashwood, having been passed along through his family; one of the clocks came from the church attended by Peter on the 14th concession of Hay and was donated by the Zurich EUB, while the other was donated by the Grand Bend United Church and was from the former Pres- byterian church which was loca- ted on the same property as the Mary-Ellen Memorial Chapel. The pulpit chair was the one used by Rev. Carriere; pictures of Christ and the Last Supper were supplied from the Louis Weber home, Zurich; a painting from the Shipka church in mem- ory of the late Milton Rats, NEED INFLUENCE Rev. Wattarn, le dedicating the window in the memory of Mrs. Mary Tetreau, who Was born near Oakwood in 1877, said the event came about because she had left her influence on her community and also on her son-in-law. Rev. Wattara explained everyone leaves an influence and is commissioned to let his life shine before men. "We are not a self-contained unit, but we rub shoulders with the world," he stated before asking the visitors to contem- plate what type of influence they were making. Mrs. Tetreau was the former Mary Devine and had two sons and one daughter. Peter's mother, Mrs. Ellen Eisenbach, was born in Devon, England, and came to Canadaat the age of eight and settled near Zurich. In 1886 she married the late George Eisenbach and they had two daughters and five sons before she died at the age of 33. She was born in 1864, Rev. Farrell noted in paying tribute to her life. The window in memory of the two ladies is situated at the front entrance. A window at the west side was dedicated to Rev. Carriere and his wife. The remarks were made by Rev. A. M. Grant, London, and Mrs. Marguerite (Carriere) Bell, Toronto, un- veiled the memorial. Rev. Grant, who followed Rev. Carriere in the Grand Bend charge at the time of church union in 1925, noted that the former Presbyterian minister was a descendant of the Vikings and graduated from McGill Col- lege in 1882. He followed two other minis- ters who had difficulty at the Grand Bend charge due to the fact many in the congregation spoke French. He married the daughter of a Hayfield area cleric and they had four sons and one daughter. Rev. Carriere died at the age of 75 after serving at Grand Bend for 42 years, preaching the final morning service at the Presbyterian church before it was torn down to make way for the new edifice.

The hotel operator explain- ed he had strict rules in regard to conduct on his premises, and those who didn't wish to abide by them could get out. "And they know it," he em- phatically stated. He said the image given that most resort operators only took the youths' money and then kicked them out was entirely wrong. "We strive to give them quality service," he said, "but we don't tolerate any non- sense." While he noted he had noth- ing against young people, he said it was impossible to have an attitude of "grin and bear it" for some of their actions. "Grand Bend is no worse than any place else," he said in reply to the story's portrayal of the drinking and love making. "These people are here only for a weekend and they're not trained in Grand Bend," he stated, adding the conclusion that "they're apparently not trained at home either". No person's name was used in Allen's story, although some resort businesses were men- tioned by name. A large picture leading off the article showed a young man and woman in an embrace on the beach. While Allen had written the story before the Labour Day incident, it was reported prior to what the magazine termed his "intimate and candid re- port". — Continued from front page He said the facts were stated fairly, but went on to explain that it did not reflect the com- plete picture for the resort and its many respected cottage own- ers and adult visitors. "Just what the general public will think worries me," Mac- Laren stated in answer to whe- ther the story will have a bad effect on future business. Reeve Stewart Webb said he felt the writer had gone "over- board" in the article and had not given the entire true picture of the resort "in any way, shape or form". He said the adverse publicity was regrettable. Area youth dies — Continued from front page suffered minor injuries. Dr. E. A. McMaster, Grand Bend, was called to act as coroner in the absence of Dr. John Goddard, Hensall. He ordered Giifillan's body to be taken to Stratford for a post mortem and reported later that the youth died of a crushed chest which cut off his breath- ing. His body was removed from the car at 6:45 p.m. The Usborne intersection where the crash occurred was marked by "danger, go slow" signs from the direction both the truck and car had beenpro- ceeding. The signs had been erected earlier this summer by the township due to the poor visi- bility created by a corn field in the north-west corner. While several rows of the corn had been picked, visibility was still partially blocked. A rise also occurs on both roads on which the vehicles had been travelling. Investigating officer Is OPP Constable John Wright. He was assisted by Cpl. C. J. Mitchell. The car in which the Win- chelsea youth was riding was towed to the lot of the North End Supertest by Ron Caldwell, who had cut the other front post of the car to remove Gilfillan's body. Beside the car in the lot were the smashed cars of two Winchelsea area youths, Ray- mond Horne and William Ron- ald Coward, both of whom had been involved in accidents this summer. This made the third "three". Funeral service for Gilfillan was held from the Hopper- Hockey funeral home on Thanksgiving. He is survived by his par- ents, Mr. and Mrs. Colin Gil- fillan, Winchelsea; brother, William, Exeter; three sisters, Mrs. Jack (Jean) Maher, Lon- don; Mrs. H a r v e y (Donna) Smith, McGillivray Township; Barbara, at home. Burial was in Exeter ceme- tery and pallbearers included: Ronald Coward, Raymond Horn, Bruce Nairn, David Leavy, Mac McCurdy and Brian Herm Rev. Hugh Wilson officiated. FINDS FAULTS Ory Wassmann, a member of council and past president of the Grand Bend and Area Cham- ber of Commerce and a hotel owner, found several faults with the verbal picture painted by Allen. He found exception to the re- port that the resort fed the youths beer at one end of Main St. from a Brewer's warehouse with a 50-car parking lot, kept them primed with a liquor store farther down, and arrested them often before they got to their cottage with their supplies. "That's not a fair shake," he stated, "it's not the case at all". He said people were arrested only for breaking the law, and most of the visitors knew what the law was regarding alcohol. He also stated that the general indication that the hotels and other accommodation spot s were allowed to run wild was "not the case at all".
