Crediton East residents host festive visitors Intervarsity chapter photo by Bagley Thomas J. Troyan, BA., LL.B. BARRISTER 8. SOLICITOR is pleased to announce the opening of his BRANCH OFFICE for the practise of law Ontario Street, Grand Bend (next to S'haren Realty) PHONE 234-2474 Opening Dec. 22, 1975 Reeve Sharon says council community relations good There is a "group mind" meeting at the Village Inn Retreat Centre Grand Bend until next Thursday. The group mind calls itself the "Intervarsity Christian Fellowship" (ICF). About 80 ICF chapter leaders from 40 university campuses across Canada make up the gathering at the Retreat Centre. The ICF believes its purpose is to "bring disciples to Christ by training people to understand the claim Christ has on everyone's The chapter leaders at the "retreat" are attempting to develop that theme by discussing ways and means of improving ICF's internal Organization, That means they want to im- prove communication between chapters — there are in total 15,000 ICF believers in Canada — they call themselves a "para- church" — and they want to gather more disciples into the ICF fold. "We don't want to twist arms, but we want to make people face the implications and cost of being Christians in a secular world," says Tony Tyndale, 49, from the ICF national offices in Toronto, who leads the "group think" at the Retreat. Tyndale says the ICF started in 1928 when Dr. Howard Guinness (of the beer making family) toured Canadian university campuses asking students to heed the call. same as I did." Pam studies fine art and graphic design at York. Ann McRae, in her first year of Law at Windsor university, says she came to see what the Bible really says in early high school That happened because of study sessions that took place at Camp Mini-Yo-We, a church camp, She joined Intervarsity because "Christians need to study to understand Christ's ex- pectations." She says the people she met who belonged to ICF seemed to have a purpose in -their lives. "God's purpose isn't in the direction man is running around in," she adds, "1 entered Law because the door was open — if you have the money and the time, you do it, God is guiding those things," she explains, Ann McRae has been an ICF member five years. According to Tyndale, 700 highschools make up part of the 1CF's 15,000 student mem- bership. Miss Joliffe says the organization is funded by the members. Many of the students donate part of their summer earnings to finance costs — "just what they want to contribute", she explains. "We also ask various congregations to contribute," she says. "We are inter- denominatonal; it's a great way to meet the kids."

FUNERAL HOME 370 WILLIAM ST. 235-1220 EXETER We've always encouraged our son to show initiative, so both my husband and myself were quite pleased when he told us that, he had joined as sales club for a greeting card firm. He was supposed to show their Christmas Card line on a personal basis and to be paid a 40% cash commissionor a prize of his own choice from their prize catalogue. He chose a racing car set from the latter and was promised faithfully that he would receive it in time for Christmas. Well in spite of a letter and two long distance phone calls in which they said his prize had been mailed, our son still remains a very disillusioned and disappointed 12-year old. He did everything he was supposed to do and I think that this is a very poor way for a firm to show their ap- preciation. We realize that it's not long after Christmas, but he's been eagerly awaiting this prize now for over three weeks, and when this is a daily ritual at the post office this can seem like an eternity to a 12-year old. The sales club mailed your son's prize to him two days before they received his letter asking where his racing set was. They thought his letter crossed with their package to him, so they didn't reply. When we told them he didn't receive his prize, they checked with the post office. The post office couldn't find it, so the club has mailed your son another car racing set. SEE US FIRST FOR ALL YOUR SPORTING NEEDS 411 MAIN ST. EXETER 1.1&K , . SPORT 41111P .411.

"After the war in 19531 decided to hitchhike home to England, I crossed the ocean and toured Canada. That was when I met Wilber Sutherland, the General Director of Intervarsity". Having dined and talked with Sutherland, Tyndale returned to his regiment in England and became an executive officer, Within a very 'short time, however,he says he felt a call to return to Canada. "Then one day out of the blue a letter came from Wilber asking me to come back to Canada and work with Inter- varsity. God put us together." Tyndale is not the only Inter- varsity member who believes joining the group was "a miracle". Two of the student organizers of the group session at the retreat, Pam Joliffe, 21, York University, and Ann McRae, 22, Windsor University, also believe they were directed to ICF by "divine forces", Pam became a Christian after spending a year at Carleton. "I began to question the whole thing, whether Christ was a hoax. Then a series of "coincidences" happened. My room-mate said she was praying for me. I came to accept it was God trying to get through to me. Then I went to York and joined Intervarsity to find other students who felt the Jacque England.

We had good response from the public at any public meetings that were held and this is very gratifying. Some of the projects un. dertaken were as follows: With the help of our local postmaster Mr. Gar Johnson, we were able to obtain an easement from the federal government to correct the long standing parking problem in front of the post of- fice. At the same time we repaired and repaved the parking area at the public school. A new drain was installed on Alberta Street at Lake Road to correct the problem of the old one being plugged solid. This area was asphalted as was an area of Lake Road immediately adjacent to it that was starting to break up. The main and north beaches received extensive cleanup and maintenance during this year's summer season, The district Fire Department acquired a new equipment van to facilitate their operaton. We now have one of the best equipped fire crews in the area. PUC crews finished installing the first phase of the streetlighting updating program. This is an ongoing program to ensure that we remain a well lighted municipality. With this program the cost will be born in small amounts on a pay as you go basis to avoid large increases in taxes or interest charges. Considerable time and effort was spent in changing the village dump to an acceptable Waste Management Site. Some new more modern office equipment was purchased. A road repair reserve fund was establshed for renewing the village roads after the in- stallation of the sanitary sewers, Hopefully this will eliminate the need for borrowing to do the necessary repairs and again prevent any appreciable tax increase to cover these expenses as they will have been prepaid. Grand Bend has a formally constituted recreation committee this year and with a year's ex- perience will have an opportunity to present some new programs. 1975 saw the approval of the proposed sewerage project by the OMB thereby passing the biggest hurdle. The'prdject is expected to be completed in November 1977. Our zoning by-law was found to be quite inadequate and we therefore undertook to update it with a new more comprehensive by-law. The draft copy will be available for perusal by the public at the end of January and the second public meeting that we promised to hold is scheduled for Friday April 23rd at 7:30 p.m. We decided that it would be better to delay the passage of the by-law until that time so that all residents would have the op- portunity to see the proposals and give their views. This would be difficult durieg the winter months, Our major disappointment was that even though monies were set aside and several properties looked at and even an offer made we were unable to acquire a new cemetery site, This we will carry forward to 1976 and try again as we desperately need a cemetery. Non council events that had great impact on the community were the Chamber of Com- merce's Buffalo Burger Days and the Wild Game Dinner. These two events were a unifying force for the community and special thanks are due to Bert Albertson, the executive of the Chamber and all those citizens who worked so EXAMPLE Ladies' Orlon BELTED CARDIGANS Large selection of colours Sites to 46 Reg. $21.00 January Sale Priced $11.95 hard to make these events the Success that they were. Also the Grand Bend Yacht Club's annual Canada Trust 100 race to Michigan and back is becoming more popular each year. This event is drawing yachtsmen from a wide area who are enjoying our hospitality. Plans for 1976 include: An official plan to follow the Zoning By-Law, A new storm drain for River Road. A new storm drain for Lake Road. Setting capital works priority for future years. Guest soloist Sunday morning at the United church was Mrs. Morley Desjardine, She sang, "Birthday of a ding," Rev, Harley Moore's sermon topic was "Good News". Mrs. Susie Devine returned home Wednesday from Strathroy Hospital and is staying at her daughter's home, Mrs, Elgin Adams. Mr. & Mrs. Clarke Kennedy spent a few days in Toronto last week and attended the per- formance of Handel's Messiah by the Toronto Mendelssohn choir, Their son Jim who is attending York University and their daughter Elizabeth who is teaching at Eagle River in Northern Ontario returned with their parents for Christmas holidays, Pre-Christmas dinner guests with Mr. & Mrs. Roy Morenz, Glenda and Tammy were Mr, & Mrs. John Corbett of Hensall, Last meeting for 4-H girls The Grand Bend Better Batter Bread Beaters, 4-H girls, held their final meeting for this club project, Tuesday evening at Mrs. Jack Smeeken's home. Nine girls attended with the two leaders. Roll call was an- swered by "Name a use for bread other than toast or sand- wiches." At this meeting the girls made Puffy Dutch Mini Cake, and pizza style sandwiches, which they sampled for lunch, The girls had received the covers for their record books, which they are to complete along with their recipe file. Achievement day will be January 24, at Stephen Central Sch000l.

This will be difficult as two thirds of our budget is County and School Board costs over which we have no direct control. We look forward to the new year with anticipation and high hopes but also a little dread when reading the economic forecasts.
