Council members agreed Monday night to include ex­ ecutive members of the Grand Bend Chamber of Commerce in such a meeting. The subject was brought up when a letter was read from C of C president Nick Carter, who is also a main street business owner. Carter’s letter asked for additional information on the construction. It con­ tinued, “I understand Main street will be interrupted the longest time. We know the horrors we can expect and the loss of business will be great.” Carter questioned the proposed start on Main street in January saying it should be left until after Labour Day. Councillor Bill Baird agreed saying, “There is no reason that most of Main street can’t be done from Labour Day until May. We will have problems, but, let’s keep them to a minimum.” Reeve Bob Sharen suggested a meeting with Chamber officials, contrac­ tors, engineers and govern­ ment officials could be held by late January. He added, “The wheels should be tur­ ning by that time.” Monday’s regular meeting. Two engineers from De Leuiw Gather discussed with council the possibility of do­ ing a traffic operation and parking study. Douglas Barker and Blair Anderson said such a study would be subsidized to the extent of 75 percent by the Ontario Ministry of Transportation and Com­ munications if that body gave its approval. Any work to implement recommendations of such a study would be subsidized on a 50-50 basis. The study would include traffic counts, parking habits of Grand Bend residents and visitors in­ cluding the length of time, lights, cross walks, etc. GRAND BEND Anderson said surveys would likely be taken on one or two busy holiday weekends during the summer, one nor.-holiday weekend and possibly one or two other days during the season. The engineer said parking and traffic on all streets would be included in the sur­ vey when councillor Bill Baird said, “side street parking is our biggest problem”. Possible solutions could be traffic light improvements, cross walksx pavement markings, parking limitations, one way streets, etc. At the same meeting, Ron McKerlie of Dictatyme Systems showed slides of parking control equipment which could be used at the beach parking lot. Most members of council appeared to be in favour of equipment which would be used with an unmanned lot. McKerlie said costs would be cut down and efficiency would be' maximized with parking control equipment. Equipment would include coin units, entrance and exit arms and loops under the ground to activate the arms. The parking equipment salesman said the capital cost of such a project would probably be close to $6,500. In other business, council: Agreed all councillors •should attend a Lambton County planning workshop which is scheduled for Sar­ nia’on March 3. Learned that the Grand Bend yacht club was prepared to renew their lease for dockage which comes due on Mayl. Invited members of the same yacht club to attend the first council meeting in January. Decided to ask the Hay Municipal Telephone System to do another survey in the hope free calls can be provided between Grand Bend and Exeter.

What Ecology teaches us, and what it implores us to learn is that all things living and dead including humans are inter-related witnin the web of life. This must be the foundation of our new ethics. Humans now are responsi le for every wolf, as well as for every child, for prairies and ocean as well as for every field. If you love your children, if you wish them to be happy, love your earth with tender care and pass it on to them diverse and beautiful so that they, 10,000 years hence may live in a universe still diverse and beautiful and find joy and wonder in being alive. t HOLIDAYS » I HAPPY Ecology concern Clarke and Irene Ken­ nedy were hosts to an assembly* of concerned persons on “Human Ecology”, last week.
