Cowan reported that there were no families in need of subsidized housing in Grand Bend, and only about four senior citizens who required subsidized housing. Reeve Bob Sharen asked if housing would be granted for less than 10 units, and Cowan said that it would not be likely. Cowan suggested that they get together with Bosanquet township where only a small number of subsidized homes are required, too. Sharen suggested that the Medical Centre Board also be contacted about their plan to build senior citizen housing on property behind the medical centre.

Times, Advocate, October 3, 1979 Page 7A booth meets council's approval Chamber seeks more visible location • Proposal to move tourist everything is set up for a traffic survey to take place next summer. Council requested that the traffic survey be done during a busy holiday weekend. Reeve Bob Sharen estimated that the survey will cost about $10,000 and the Ministry will be paying about 75 per cent of that. David Cowan of the Ministry of Housing attended the meeting to tell council the results of a survey on subsidized housing which planning board. Council members requested that the Chamber look after having the land surveyed, and also look into the problem of hydro guy wires that cross the area in question.

Franks and Greenway parishes in Grace Anglican Church. The harvest festival was ob- served and the Holy Com- munion was administered. During the service Lesley Elaine, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Burton Rock was baptized. Following the service a social hour was held in the Parish Hall when the rector, the Rev. Aubrey Bell and his son James were honored prior to their appointment to My husband and I have had a lot of fun this week, telling friends that we've adopted a baby. He's about eight inches long, and weighs less than three pounds. He's also black and white and fuzzy. We named him Pepper and he's an eight week old springer spaniel puppy. Having a pet in the house is nothing new.When Victor married me, it was a package deal. He got my budgie bird, too. When I bought the budgie two years ago, I named him Hamlet, hoping he would become a great orator. With that name, I figured the budgie would speak with the eloquence of a Shakespearean actor. Unfortunately, Hamlet has yet to utter a word. He does know two tricks - eating and sleeping. He used to do another trick, too. It was called "pecking holes in leaves of house plants, especially expensive defenbochia." Since the plants belong to ray husband, Hamlet soon had to forget that trick. His flights around the living room are now curtailed, unless a control tower, namely me, is keeping a close watch on him. While Hamlet was going through his plant pecking stage, Victor threatened daily to give him his freedom. He quite generously offered to set Hamlet's open cage out on the sun deck. I purchased Hamlet when my elderly hamster Rodney Rodent passed away. At that time I was living alone in an apartment in London, and having a pet was essential. You see, if I woke up in the night and heard a noise in the apartment, I could calmly say to myself "it's just Rodney", roll over, and go back to sleep. But after Rodney died, I was always waking up in the night and hearing rustling noises or foot steps. Sud- denly I was sitting bolt upright in bed with my heart pounding. I was sure it was an intruder - a burgler after my jewellery, or a drunk breaking into the wrong apartment. So I would usually sit in bed wide awake tor hours, until I could convince myself that it was, just my imagination. Then I purchased Hamlet, and than when I heard things go bump in the night, I could go back to sleep saying to myself that it was just the bird. Rodney Rodent had been my companion for a number of years prior to his death. I think we estimated his age to be five, which is ancient in hamster years. He lived with me during my first year at university, when we shared an apartment with three other girls - all of them rodent haters. One girl's boyfriend was a science major, who offered to dissect Rodney on many occasions. But keeping a budgie or a hamster is a little different than housebreaking a puppy. For one thing it takes a lot less newspaper to cover the bottom of a cage, than to cover the whole kitchen floor. I can't figure out why someone hasn't invented a "pamper" for puppies.
