A re quest was received from St. Dominies Parish and the town of Oakville to urge the province to prevent topless or bottomless waitresses, dancers and ^trippers. Councillor Harold Green said in response to the letter “Scrap that one right now,” and Councillor Bill Baird added “I agree.” When the laughter sub sided, Reeve Bob Sharen summed up council’s feelings by comparing topless waitresses to'televi sion. He says if you don’t like what’s on television you can turn it off; if you don’t like topless waitresses you don’t have to go see them. Rev. George Anderson dination to the ministry of the Church.

He said council will “have to walk slowly and touch all bases” with regards to the boundary realignment of the three municipalities. Sharen said he welcomed criticism of the proposal with the reeve saying it has divided and congealed the area at the same time. He said persons who had not shown an interest in what was going to happen to Grand Bend and vicinity had stepped forward and con tributed in a positive fashion. The annexation proceedings have cost $11,- 000 with the final bill ap proaching the $30,000 mark by the time Ontario Municipal Board hearings are held. “Its worth the price”, the reeve stated. Looking back, Sharen said he felt a mistake was made in the 195O’§ when the village was incorporated. While hind site is a wonderful thing, he said more land could have been allotted for the village’s future expan sion. On Bosanquet’s contention that it would suffer a severe financial hardship if the resort did expand into the township, Sharen said while Bosanquet would be losing 24 percent of its population it would also be losing a like percentage in terms of costs. Questioned about the possibilities of amalgamation rather than annexation, Sharen said amalgamation must be 50/50 BEANS WILL GROW Stephen Central School science fair showed the germination and growth of a white bean plant.

Talks with yacht club held in closed session By MARY BLEWETT Grand Bend council went behind the closed doors for an hour at Tuesday’s meeting to talk with delegates from the Yacht Club and the Cruising Club. Reeve Bob Sharon would not reveal what was discuss ed when the press and general public were sent from the chambers during the ‘in camera’ session. Sharon said that council agreed on the private meeting because they feared that the press would mis construe the touchy subject. “We’ve been burned before,” Sharon said. He ex plained that when this problem appeared in the press last time, it cost coun cil a lot in legal fees. The early part of the meeting was plagued by power failures and frequent groping for the candle in terrupted discussions. Jokes were made between council members about really being, in the dark now,' Problems with the sewer project dominated the meeting, It was decided that a letter would be sent to the ministry of environment to determine if costs to provide pumps for 21 different residences in low lying . areas of the village will be paid for with tax payers money or with sewer project funds. These buildings can not be served by gravity. A letter will be sent out with tax notices telling all people with vacant buildable lots that unless they state they don’t want a sewer hook-up, they will get one and be charged for it. Reeve Sharon suggested that because the sewer in stallation is going to be an exasperating problem, coun cil should find a way to make light of it. He propos ed that a lottery be run, hav ing villagers guess the date the sewers will be complete. Council decided to invite Bill Wagner of Hay Telephone to attend their next meeting to explain to them what they must do to get toll free calls from ANGLICAN CHURCH A combined service was held Sunday morning at St. Johns by the lake, when Grace church, Greenway, St. Paul’s, Thedford,- and St. Anne’s of Port Franks at tended led by Rev.

Reeve Sharon said that they needed people like Lome Henderson and Jack Riddell working for them. “Same old procedure, eh?” quipped councillor Harold Green. In response to a letter from Bill Harwood, council agreed to posting a sign on the comer of Highway 81 and 81 crescent indicating a pharmacy. Reeve Sharon felt that the sign would be a public service.
