Consensus of the majority was, "This may be a difficult procedure but they are presently using Grand Bend services, so they should be treated as Grant Bend residents. Land is also needed for future expansion. Many suggested acquiring land to the east along Highway 81. The people in op- position to annexation said Oak- wood and Southcott Pines are exclusive subdivisions that would be ruined if they became part of Grand Bend. Of the general public queried, 60 percent said no to annexation. Almost all from Southcott Pines did not want the villageto gain the rest of their subdivison. "As far as they are concerned, they are not part of the village now. Other people felt the village should first run what they have now before they think of ex- panding." The other 40 percent said Grand Bend should annex as soon as possible. It would improve the tax base. In response to the question, "How would you like Grand Bend to grow?" commercial repliers said Grand Bend should promote the one asset they have — tourism. Many felt a retirement area was a good alternative but did not want the community to become solely a residential area. About one-third of the residential owners went for a combination of a year-round commercial tourist resort and a residential home area. On the question of multi-unit and high density development, most of the commercial people showed a negative concern because this is a tourist village and people were trying to get away from the city. At the most only 3-4 storey walk-up apart- ments that had strict design standards would be acceptable. The residential sector was definitely against this type of development. Some people who said "no" to apartments felt It serves me right! I should have known better. Last Monday I stopped smoking — Wednesday I got pnuemonia ! Oh, it wasn't a sudden thing — my giving up smoking that is. It all started about a month ago when the "little general" walked in just as I was performing my respiratory ablutions all over the office wall. It was still early, I was on my second coffee and sixth cigarette and was still a little groggy, but I was sure he winked when he asked if I was going upstairs to see the movie, "Bloody early for nature study" I mumbled but being new on the staff and not one to create a fuss, I decided to go along with the crowd. Turned out it was a film by the Canadian Cancer Society about cancer, particularly lung cancer. At the end of the film, the nurse used a machine to demonstrate the amount of tar in a cigarette. "Joe (the machine) doesn't have his cigarettes today, can anyone give him one?" she asked. After a five second lull I looked up and saw she was still without a cigarette. Turning to the other T- A employeek assembled, I sud- denly realized they were all staring at me. They were all non- smokers, except two cowards who had left their cigarettes at their desks. townhouse development would be acceptable if strictly controlled. They all felt it should be in a specified area of the village. On the size of lots for Toning, between 5,000 and 7,000 square feet was thought to be an adequate size, With sewage coming there was no need for large lots and therefore more sites would be available in the village. The permanent commercial tended to select larger lots (10,000 to 15,000 square feet for minimum lot size. On the subject of land use, the only real trend that arose was the need for year round recreation space and facilities, Residential persons suggested there was little activity for people over the age of 50 saying it was all for the younger crowd and tourists. "Why sure," I said, laughing nervously, trying not to cough. Joe took the cigarette and reduced it to ash in about a minute and left an, ugly black circle on a silver dollar sized filter the nurse had placed near Joe's gizzard. "This is what's left on your lungs each time you smoke," said the nurse. That was all I could take! I burst from the room, coughing frantically, and lit up just in time, After all, the movie had been about a half hour long and I didn't think it would be appropriate somehow. But when that guy Joe lit one up, it was the last straw. "That's okay," I said when got back to my desk, "I know smokers are more krone to cancer but it won't happen to me." I'd beaten off their devious tactics with .simple logic. But they must have been really tricky. Maybe even used subliminal seduction Stuff (didn't notice any ice cubes) because for the next few weeks I started noticing what smoking was doing to me. Actually I didn't took too bad except for the nicotine stains on my fingers. And I didn't smell too bad, except to a non-smoker. But I sure did act funny! One night when I ran out of Regarding cottage develop, ment requiring the same stan- dards as residential, almost all agreed they should be the same. everyone said if someone was going to build a cottage in Grand Bend, he must follow the stan- dard of permanent residential development, This is one way to ensure good quality buildings. On the question of the proposed marina and waterfront development by Southcott Pines, general concensus of the com- mercial people was that it would be good development that would help Grand Bend but most said they would never live there, They all agreed with the concept but were concerned with the present design to cut off River Road. More than half of the residential replies were against the marina.Thelpeople closest to it were the ones in strong oppostion, Again, the closing of River Road was a major negative feature. Asked about the serious problems in Grand Bend, themost evident reply was parking. People along River Road said on weekends they couldn't get out of their own driveways. Lack of land for future ex- pansion was a major concern. Presently any new development has to go outside the village limits and therefore Grand Bend receives no tax base. As might be expected, Lake Huron with its beach was most often mentioned as a prime asset of Grand Bend. It was suggested by many that the beach be kept in tip top shape: Results of the questionnaire were presented to council Tuesday night,by Dave Slade who is employed by the village this summer as a planning student and is assisting in preparation of US No. 1 ORANGES Bradford Large Stalk CELERY Poshwood sports feature wrestling Strength and stamina was the name of the game in Dashwood Saturday when the annual Priedsbtirg Days arm wrestling contests were held. Murray Park of Kirkton winner in the 171 to 200 pound class emerged as the overall champion with a win over 141 to 170 pound Winner Fleyd Westlake, Westlake was at a bit of a disadvantage in the overall championship bout as he was forced to go three minutes and 45 seconds in a semi-final match against over 200 champ Doug Weigand. John Becker who succumbed to the eventual champion in a playoff round was the up to 140 pounds winner defeating Ron Miller in the final. Floyd Westlake beat Paul Truemner in his division final, Murray Parke took Lawrence Becker in the 171 to 200 pounds and in over 200 pounds Doug Weigand defeated Robert Miller. Only two entries were received in the ladies division and Julie Webb took the title with a win over her cousin Doris Wragg. Last year's tug-of-war champions from Thorndale were back and they successfully defended their title with a two straight pull victory over Mt. Carmel, Glenn Webb of the Friedsburg Days committee presented the trophy for the second time to Thorndale captain Gordon Craig.

On a visit to a swimming pool I was out of breath going through the foot bath. An attempt at a long distance swim was out of the question. I almost' died from lack of breath while others weren't even puffing. But the clincher came at a party, Picture me standing — nonchalantly • against the wall, three lovely young ladies eagerly grasping each word I was saying on some profound topic.' All of a sudden I was going to cough. With ladies in front and one each side of me, I had no choice but to turn to the wall on Which I had been resting, I was horrified to see it was a mirror as t gagged and coughed for breath, turned slightly blue and almost burst a blood vessel in my forehead. The ladies all looked rather ill, grimaced and walked off. Left there alone and crushed, I decided "That's it, no more cigarettes." And now I hardly cough at all, Ilereat home in bed, delerious with fever and covered with quilts even though it's 96 degrees, I'm glad I gave up smoking, for the Sake of my health.
