Southcott said in his letter of • g FREE TICKETS ‘, 111: AT ALL GRAND BEND CHAMBER OF LC'. g 4' COMMERCE 't• g g STORES as a% el% a% a% =NI wdzi tt:t I7:2fd Wtti December 11 that he had received no written reply to his previous letter, but he did receive verbal assurance from the reeve (Bob Sharen) that council would attempt to notify the firm when such matters arose. "In relation to press reports in local newspapers of December 9, that assurance has not been met," he continued. He was remarking on the discussion held with residents of Green Acres on Southcott Pines planned development of the Sherwood property, The former newspaper editor said that while he had told council that Southcott Pines were prepared to discuss the Sherwood marina proposal in every detail, he felt it was premature until they learned from the senior governments whether the marina proposal is acceptable. "The obvious point was that council would be foolish to waste its time—or anyone else's time for that matter—in reviewing the proposal when the project itself may not be possible. Surely this is a responsible and sincere position for any reasonable person to take". He went on to say that "it appears not only incredible but virtually dishonest to read comments that suggested thatour firm not only did not respond to council's request, but further, that our response was not mentioned during the discussions on the proposal": His letter continued: "I also must suggest, in fairness, that council's action has been grossly unfair to the residents of Green Acres in that you have deliberately or inadvertently misrepresented our presentation to you. If you review the correspondence, you should find that I forwarded, out of courtesy to you, a copy of our application to the various senior govern- meets to determine if the proposal made by our architect Was acceptable, You appear to have interpreted our submission 'as a firm intention on our part to December 16, 1976 Resort people busy The Christmas Ecumenical meeting was held Thursday night at the Church of God with around 60 in attendance. President, Mrs. Deanna McGregor presided. During the worship service all repeated in unison, "Unto us a child is born" and Mrs. Myrtle Tetreau- led in prayer. Mrs. Marian Steckle sang "Ring the Bells" accOmpdnied on piano by Mrs. Campbell. Joanne and Mary Jane McLinchey from Greenway Anglican Church sang "How Great Thou Art." Mrs. Philip Walker provided two numbers in song from the Catholic church entitled "Rise up Shepherd and follow" and "Lo how a rose e're blooming." Mrs. Marie McKinnon from the United Church sang two solos accompanied by her guitar "What child is this?" to the tune of Greensleeves and "Jesus is born." All enjoyed singing carols and Mrs. Janet Desjardine took the topic "Love does not count the loss" in three parts "Isn't this wonderful?" "Isn't He won- derful?" and "Isn't it won- derful?" Scripture reading was from Psalm 139, 0 Lord thou has searched me, based on John 3-16. Mrs. Desjardine also gave the story behind the painting of the "Praying Hands." All members and guests joined hands in a circle and meeting closed with lunch served in the S.S. rooms. Young people meet The Young People's teen age group met last Sunday in the S.S. rooms of the United Church with 12 attending. The worship service centred on a Christmas theme , was given by Janet Allister. The group decided to go out Christmas carolling on December 19. During the program time they divided into groups and discussed drugs. A singsong of Christmas carols was enjoyed and the social time was spent in a game supplied by Shelly Meecham. Grand Bend girl marries Deborah Diane, daughter of Mr., & Mrs. Jim Love, was married Friday at 4 p.m. at proceed. Such is definitely not the case, as the material you have on record will show.

Crispy Critters The Grand Bend Crispy Crit- ters 4-H club, combined their sixth and seventh meetings together, held Thursday night at Mrs. Allan Walpers. Meeting 6 roll call was "My, two free choice cereal recipes from member pamphlet,"and meeting 7 roll call was "The label of a cereal product and discuss 2 points of information that it gives you. Mount label in record book." Next meeting is planned for working relationship in regard to development of the Sherwood property, than we are in fact with council. As indisputable evidence of this, I enclose a copy of the questionnaire we prepared some time ago for delivery to each and every resident of Green Acres, Please note that the date is November 23, 1976. The reason these were not delivered, and the process of close consultation started, must be obvious to you: council's original misin- terpretation of our correspon- dence created an unfortunate climate in which to discuss the question rationally.

IN THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS "We are still most anxious to deal directy with the residents of Green Acres on this question if and when, to put it bluntly, council shows some .evidence of approaching this possible development in a manner that exhibits some element of responsibility and sensitivity and, most of all, with some common sense. "if we may say so, you are. charged with the responsibility of governing as wisely as you can a growing community with a tremendous amount of potential. • As one property owner in your municipality, we must appeal to you to accept and discharge that responsibility in a manner that will be beneficial to all residents and property owners.
