W. Harwood, Phm.B 238.8540 Beside Post Office 22, 81 CRESCENT GRAND BEND, ONT. Residents of Grand Bend are complaining about the pavement on their Main Street and highway 21 north, "Everybody doesn't believe it's finished," says coun- cillor Harold Green. He says that many people have approached him to ask when the final paving will take place. The pavement was recently patched up when installation of sewers was completed in that area. Contractors say that they have finished the paving and restoration. Green says that the arrangement was to restore the streets to the condition they were in before sewer construction. "Now it's high in parts, and bumpy, like a washboard," Green says. Green went to Dillon engineer Bill Ewing and asked him to look into it. Ewing promised to take up the paving problem with the contractors, Sandercott Construction. Green said that there was Larry Desjardine, Edward Forrest, Richard Brintnell, Larry Dobson and Kevin Walper. Sympathy of this com- munity is extended to Mrs. Stebbins her family, and grandchildren, United church women served lunch to family, relatives and friends after the service, in the S.S. rooms. Winners of the duplicate bridge game held last Wednesday evening at St. John's Parish hall were north-south, Marie Weetman and Dorothy Child, east- west, Lenora Orr and Irene Ward. Mrs. Lenora Orr, received word Friday of the death of her brother-in-law, Cecil Knight, of Windsor. He is survived by his wife Dorothea (Walz) Knight, and one son Brian of Goderich, also several brothers and sisters. The Knights have main- tained a summer home in Grand Bend for more than 2Q years and are known to many in this area. Just a reminder that the Anglican church ladies will was as if ey were after bubonic plague or something", Elaine said. They were told to hurry, so they didn't take anything with them. The policemen said that they might just have to leave the. area for a few hours. When they got outdoors the chlorine fumes stung their noses, and made their eyes water. They went to Ray's parents' home which was about 10 miles away. That afternoon, they were evacuated from there. They went on to a brother's place in Oakville, where 22 people shared a two bedroom home for a very long week. Ray didn't have to go to work all week, but Elaine had to go to a job interview outside the evacuated area. Because she didn't have clothes with her, she had to buy a new dress. Finally, they returned to their apartment the following Saturday morning. They were among the very last to get back home. Some of their groceries had spoiled over the week, and everything else seemed alright. But the stinging smell of chlorine was still in the air, In the meantime, we were wondering If they would be able to visit us as we had arranged. Right after they got into their apartment, they called us. They decided to open all the windows and leave the apartment for a trip to Grand Bend. The railway company has offered to pay expenses and Ray and Elaine hope to get money for her new dress, and their spoiled groceries. They both agree that it was a miracle that no one was killed. They have nothing but praise for the way the evacuation was handled. And after smelling the strong chlorine odour in their apartment a week later, they are certain that the evacuation was necessary. And what will they be sending home to Elaine's family in Scotland as Christmas gifts this year? T- shirts and mugs and other Souvenirs of Mississauga-- some proclaiming that "I was an evacuee t" also a disagreement about painting the white lines on the pavement. Normally, Green said, the Ministry of Transportation and Com- munication would do that job, but they have put away their equipment for the winter. Green says that if the job is to be done this year, a contractor will have to do it. In the meantime Grand Bend residents will have to put up with the patched Main Street, and imagine where the white lines should be. be sponsoring another euchre party in the Parish hall on November 29, 8.00 p.m. The Golden Age members will hold their Christmas meeting December 5 by having a Christmas dinner at 1.00 p.m. at the Parish hall.

Last summer while my husband and I were honeymooning in Britain, we met Ray and Elaine. We were sitting in a restaurant, and after we had placed our order, Ray and Elaine came over and asked us if were on our honeymoon trip, and if we were Canadians. When we answered to yes to both questions they became very excited. They, too, were honeymooning, about 100 miles from their home near Glasgow. And they were hoping to em- igrate to Canada soon. We enjoyed spending that evening with them, finally getting used to their brogue. It was interesting finding out that although they had lived in Scotland, how similar our weddings, lives, jobs and so on really were. Eventually Ray and Elaine got their papers and came to Canada. And where have they settled? Mississauga--that's what made their recent visit even more interesting. They're living on the top floor of a high rise apart- ment building near the in- tersection of highways five and ten. On the Saturday night of November 10 they bad a few relatives over for a little party. Ray's father (who had previously made Canada his home) was talking about the possibilities of nuclear war, when a huge explosion rocked their building. The glass in their balcony window shook, and they were afraid that it would come crashing into their living room. A bright orange mushroom cloud filled the sky, and the outdoors lit up. Ray and Elaine thought it was a near-by gas station which had exploded, and some of the men went to investigate. Soon after that the electricity went off, and the apartment was lit only by the glow from the huge fire. Before dawn, a knock came to their door, and they were told they would have to evacuate. When they left their apartment, the police thaulked a big white "X" on their door, to show the apartment was empty. "It Mary's musings About people you know... namilloN*ritting.V'
