They presently pay $10 a month for the Seaforth accommodation. However, Reeve Elgin Thomp- son pointed out the decision was not based on the monetary aspect.

"We have had a fine bunch of people here," Jackson indi- cated, "and we're quite satis- fied". He said alewives are still being washed ashore, but they're being buried as quickly as they come in. It was his hope that the tiny fish would soon come to an end. If you were born in 1901 You should make application for your Old Age Security pension six months before your 67th birthday.

While crowds may be down, he noted that more families were returning to Grand Bend as some of the undesirable elements have been scared away by the efficient police work and the heavy fines handed out for liquor charges and rowdyism. "We've got a nice, peaceful resort here now," he said, "and we intend to keep it that way". The reeve said it was a pleas- ure to see more families back in the resort enjoying their holi- days. Some businessmen claimed business would be harmed by the police crackdown and the stiff fines, but he said the experience to date 'has proven them wrong.

Chairman Ted Wright indic- ated there was no thought of asking the Ontario Provincial Police to police the town. "We intend to maintain our own local force," he said. Wright indicated council hoped to get a policeman with some experience, and until such time as one can be hired, they will employ the local auxiliary police. Wright was also asked to check into the situation regarding the fire brigade now that three mem- bers will be working out of town. The thought was expressed that too many members working away from town could leave the brig- ade without sufficient men to fight a fire. The matter will be discussed with the fire brigade.

Square dancers from through- out the district are expected to compete for the $70 in cash prizes offered in this event. The evening will be concluded with an old tyme dance in the arena. Lions member Jim Paisley, has been named chairman for the event, indicated that it is being sponsored to boost minor sports activities in the community. The fact the three clubs aren't planning it as major fund raising event is evidenced from the ad- mission price only $1.00 per family. Local square dancers are ex- pected to present displays on Main St. during the afternoon fes- tivities and it was suggested a giant grand march will be staged from downtown to the arena to get the show there going.

These are the times a Cascade 40 can really win you over. It provides all the hot water you need to suds up a strawberry-specked party dress, its chocolate-checked owner, and the pile of party paraphernalia you'll be left with.
