She gave a very thoughtful devotional using as her theme “Worry”. If you must worry, try doing it for others. Much of our worry is needless or about things we cannot change. We cannot change the past. Even the Disciples worried which led to quarreling. Mrs. Keyes read Luke 12 beginning at verse 22 in which Jesus told the Disciples not to be anxious about their lives. He said your Father knows what you need. One must have faith. If you worry try to switch it from morbid concern about your own problems, to con­ cern for the well being of others many of your worries will evaporate when you show concern and compas­ sion for others. This will not keep you from all the worrying but it will help make your worries manageable. Mrs. Keyes led in prayer which was follow­ ed by silent prayer. “What a Friend We Have in Jesus” was sung with Mrs. Middleton accompanying ;at the piano. Mrs. Christie gave the highlights about Jamaica’s cultures, economy, tourism and religions. Members were shown what becomes of the economy of a small country, rich in minerals and other products, when large cor­ porations take control of these.

Scholl. square foot structure which is to be located behind the present fire hall, is expected to start sometime in the spr­ ing. During the discussion about the new fire hall, Councillor Bevan Bonthron asked if some type of penali­ ty clause should be inserted into the contract. Dejager replied that in his experience, penalty clauses were of Little value unless there was a pressing need for the facility. In business, a penalty clause would make sense if revenues were being lost by the tenant. He added that if penalty clauses were to be con­ sidered, a bonus clause for completion ahead of time should also be considered, In a review of the draft building bylaw, fees for the construction and renovation of structures were dis­ cussed: new construction — $25 for the first thousand and, $2 per thousand thereafter./ A garage will cost $45 and a swimming pool $25. Building alterations will cost $10 for the first thousand plus an ad­ ditional $2 thereafter. A flat rate of $15 will be charged for roofing or shingling and a demolition permit will cost $5 per 1,000 feet. Reeve Knight asked if an upper limit should not be placed on the value of a building permit cpnsidering that the time spent on in­ spection has little to do with the size of the building. After considerable discus­ sion, it was decided to leave the proposed fee structure intact. A resolution from the county of Grey that called for a restructuring of county boards of education to make them more receptive to public concerns was filed by council with Harry Klungel remarking “I’m not much in favor of the present system but how do you come up with better alternatives?” Paul Nejlands said he couldn’t see where a restructuring of local boards would lower costs. Council decided to place a notice in the local newspapers advertising that the village was planning to participate in the ministry of economics and in­ tergovernmental affairs 1978 involvement in municipal administration program. Both council and clerk-treasurer Betty Oke felt that the village could use a student this year with the amount of background . work that would be done if the village goes ahead with it’s plans to annex part of Hay township. In other business, council: Learned that Agripress Canada will be vacating the stage area of the town hall by February 28.
