That was the comment of John Burke, general manager of the Exeter Kongskilde plant as delegates from the firm's plants in. leven Countries gathered this week for the annual meeting. After the tour of the Exeter plant on Monday, the meeting moved to London's Holiday Inn where grinding sessions were in store fOr the men while the ladies took the opportunity to get in some shopping and see the sights of the area as co-ordinated by Molly Burke. One of the major problems of the Kongskilde annual meeting is communications. With eleven nationalities involved, the meetings are conducted in English and translated to French and German and as Mr. Burke commentedto the T-A last week, he thought it was a little strange when the firm had difficulty getting a French translater, But all ended up fine as the meetings started with everyone having their choice of the three languages. • But what about after hours? At a barbeque and dance to Zurich's "Mozart's Melody Makers" on Tuesday night, there were a wide variety of foreign languages being spoken but when two people bumped into each other and found they couldn't understand one another, a smile and a M. M. Pennington Realtor, Parkhill, is pleased to an- nounce the appointment of Griffin Thomas, Grand Bend, to his real estate staff.

Chatting with Mr. Burke, I was pleased to hear that many of the delegates had commented on how friendly Canadians were com- pared to people in other lands. + + + Reeve Sharon caught 'what for' at Lambton county council last week for comments on the behaviour of some fellow councillors but is to be congratulated for sticking to his guns despite demands for a retraction made at a closed session, Wonder why council had to go into closed session? + + + At a recent Grand Bend and Area Chamber of Commerce »meeting "considerable" discussion took place about the Chamber assuming some losses on projects this summer, The `moped' draw scheme didn't work out as planned and cost the Chamber a few dollars while the kite-flying show set them back $700. Those complaining had been opposed to underwriting cost of the kite flying when it was proposed. I suppose if it had gone the other way and a profit had been realized, they wouldn't have refused the donations. A novel suggestion to 'end Grand Bend's parking problems emerged from a meeting of the village council Monday night. Councillor Harold Green suggested that the village should look at the possibility of taking over the entire area north and cast of the intersection of high- ways 21 and 01 and converting it to a municipal centre and parking area. Mr. Green said that while it may not be practical, the village should even investigate the possibility of taking over the property and building currently occupied by the Bank of Mon- -treat. ° Council agreed that the eventual answer to the parking problem would probably be some type of new building in the area which could also house the municipal offices, house village fire trucks and municipal works equipment. Reeve Sharon said that a temporary measure could be the acquistion of several small lots in Despite severe criticism and demands to retract his statements, Grand Bend Reeve Robert Sharen has defended charges he made that Lambton County council is not operating efficiently. At a meeting of Grand Bend Council three weeks ago, Mr. Sharen charged that only a few county councillors were doing any work and that some were coming back "looped" from the lunch break. When Lambton County council convened on Wednesday, many county councillors were noticeably upset at an article which appeared in the Sarnia Observer, a daily newspaper, Reeve Sharen was blasted by council at a closed portion of the session which was held at the conclusion of the regular business. He refused to withdraw his comments. The report in the Sarnia Observer, while basically fac- tual, was also "somewhat misleading" according to the Grand Bend reeve. The reeve said that his charges were originally that only about "seven or eight councillors" worked efficiently and that "several came back looped from lunch". The reeve said the publicity surrounding the charges ac- compliShed one thing as most of the councillors returned on time following the lunch break last week and none appeared to be "looped," the downtown area for parking but suggested that no solution would be found until the village had' some method of enforcing parking restrictions. He said a move to hire a bylaw en- forcement officer for the village was necessary and he hoped it could be done this winter, Council discussed various concepts of a building suggested for the Legion Hall area which could span the watercourse currently running across the property, While it was agreed that a culvert would not be suitable for the location, coun- cillor Simpson suggested piers With a cover would be acceptable to provincial officials. Councillor Green suggested that the area might also be suitable for pan integrated recreation complex. Councillor Robert Simpson and deputy-reeve Rollie Grenier were appointed to a committee to study parking along with Chamber of Commerce ap- pointees. Reeve Sharen said that the Lambton county council is often disparagingly referred to by many as "the warden's country club" and suggested that council was often inneffective. The reeve said he did not feel municipalities were getting value for tax money paid to the county. The Lambton county' restructuring study completed four years ago was given as an example of poor return by the reeve, He said it had been ob- vious since the outset of the study that it would be rejected by county council. "I'm afraid the same thing is going to happen to the Sarnia- Lambton area planning study," said Reeve Sharen. The study is costing $50,000 with funding of 80 percent coming froni the province. Lambton Warden Tom Needham was reported to be quite upset by the charges and Reeve Sharen admitted later that "Torn was mad as hell." The warden stated that there v,us little could be done about those who abuse the noon lunch- break. He said he had spoken to some members of county council but pointed out that 90 percent of the county councillors were not guilty of Reeve Sharen's charges. Prior to the lunchbreak at Wednesday's session, the Lambton Historical Society was about to address council seeking support for an updated history of the county when four county councillors walked out of the coned chambers. Warden Needham criticized the councillors later and said he hoped it would not happen again. Several times during the session Wednesday, at least one- quarter of council's 36 members were absent from their seats. when proposed projects will be presented for approval, The projects proposed will include a Christmas bazaar, spring fashion show, a supper at the end of the theatre season and the annual pre-season dance. Members will be notified by bulletin and announcements of upcoming events will be placed in the newspaper.
