He, drew his thoughts from the second book of Corinthians and asked the congregation "What are you doing with the greatest gift, God's gift, Christ." Mrs. .Gertrude Middleton was the organist for the service and the Choir under the direction of Mrs. McCaffrey sang "As With Gladness Men of Old" taken from the chorale by Konrad Kocher. The children's story was "Starting the Year with a Clean Sheet" and.the. service closed with a very beautiful new hymn "As I look back upon the year now ending" written for St. Martin's United Church, Saskatoon. Brian Beer and Ross Veal were the main ushers and Dr. Goddard greeted the congregation. A large number of carolers from the United Church went caroling to the Nursing Home as well as a number of other shut-ins in the village on Sunday evening, December 23rd. Following the carol singing everyone enjoyed hot- chocolate and cookies back at the church through the courtesy of Rev. McDonald. The United Church was filled to capacity on Christmas Eve when a very beautiful Candle-light Christmas Eve service was held. Doug Klopp was organist with Marianne McCaffrey directing the Senior Choir in singing a chorale by Bach as well as two anthems "Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus" from Charles Wesley's beautiful hymn, and Ring out the Bells of Christmas by Michael McCabe. The Primary Choir sang "The Baby" and The Virgin Mary. The Junior Boys Choir sang "Three Kingly Gifts", Only a Stable and Glory to God. Solos were given by Wayne Scotchmer who sang "Away in a Manger" and solos in the Junior Boys Choir were given by Peter Cook, Jim Thrower, Rodney Parker and Donald Wareing. The congregation joined in singing many of the well known addloved carols. And the service closed with everyone singing 'Silent Night" as the choir recessed with lighted candles. Continued from page 15 to be used in the grader leased for snow removal this winter. He is to buy two wet suits for township road crew and other necessary equipment need to carry on his work. Bus driver, Mrs. Harvey Hammond, complained about the narrowness of the road and especially the= culvert on concession 2, LRS with no warning signs, there is no shoulders on the road and in stormy weather a person could drop off the road. Council took no action. In the reglar meeting Tuesday night council passed a by-law that the outstanding operating deficit of $58,293.54 of the Vanastra recreation centre be paid out of the township's reserve account. Council passed another by- law that all future capital and operation deficits' at the recreation centre, over and above the $119,000 debenture debt, be paid by ratepayers across the township. A third bylaw authorized the borrowing of money in the amount of' $250,000 as an interim loan to pay for the construction work on the recreation centre until receipt of provincial grants and municipal tax revenue are received. A' promissory NEW TEACHER - Judy Datema recently took over teaching duties at the Hensall nursery school. T-A photo Hay land use change Following a meeting between lake front property owners, the Huron county planning department and Hay township, the township has agreed to initiate proceedings which will see a change in land use designations along the lakefront. Huron county planner George Penfold said a date for a public meeting to deal with either the proposed changes or a review of the complete secondary plan will be held following a meeting with council sometime in January. note will be signed by the township to cover this. A letter from the Ministry of Culture and Recreation informed council that no Wintario grants will be forthcoming for the con- struction work at the recreation centre until there is a public fund-raising campaign, and the grants will be based on the amount raised by the public. Council was told Wintario grants are not based on the amount of taxes raised for a project. Council's legal firm of McConnell, Stewart and Devereaux, Seaforth, is investigating the legality of a by-law passed in 1974 that should have established that the debenture and operating deficit of the recreation centre be the entire responsibility of the taxpayers living in Vanastra. While the in- tentional of the by-law was for Vanastra's ratepayers to be responsible, the wording in the by-law was for Vanastra's ratepayers to be responsible, the wording in the by-law seems to indicate that the residentsracross the township are responsible. It is thought that an amen- dement may have to be made to clarify the intention of the by-law. A letter from the Ministry of Intergovernmental Affairs suggests that council should give some thought to giving credit to the Vanastra ratepayers' if there should be a surplus in the operations at Vanastra this year. It is believed there may be a surplus between $4,000 and $5,000. When Diane Durnin, manager of the recreation centre arrived at the meeting about 10 p.m. she said she had a list of proposed names that might serve on the fund raising committee for the addition to the recreation centre. Council agreed "to discuss names and relative merits of individuals for the com- mittee" in' committee of the whole. The nine ratepayers who were spectators at the Sunday December 30, the three churches, Trinity, Ailsa Craig; St. James, Parkhill; and St. Mary's, Brinsley held a joint service in Trinity church, Ailsa Craig. Lunch was served following the service. Mr. and Mrs, Jim Morley were supper-guests Thur- sday evening with Mr. and Mrs. Murray Carter and Carol. Miss Cindy Prest, Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Shepherd, Harvey Tweddle, Bill and Kathy Prest and family had Christmas with Mr. and Mrs. George Prest. A good crowd attended the.

Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Walper and family, Greenway, Kathy Hirnden, London, Mr. and Mrs. Don Newey, Carol and Colleen, Kingston and Bill Johnson, Parkhill spent Christmas with Mr, and Mrs. Jack Mrs. Durnin offered to contact foundations to ask for money even before the committee is confirmed and has a meeting. "It will save time," she said. In other business coun- cillor William Brown reported that Walter Armes, a teacher at Conestoga College in construction work, had offered to do some renovation work at the township office to give his students practical training. Council will supply the materials. The proposal is to be investigated by Clerk Jack McLachlan. Trevithick. A good crowd attended the service on Cnristmas Sunday in Brinsley United Church.

Mervin Carter and Ian of Clandeboye were Saturday eve , visitors with Mr. and Mrs. Jim Morley. I don't like to make sexist generalizations, but like most men, he waited until the last minute to do his Christmas shopping. He quit work early one afternoon just before Christmas and decided he'd better make a few purchases. He went home for a few minutes, and took pity on our poor, lonesome dog, In a weak moment he let Pepper jump in the Bronco beside him, and off they went towards Grand Bend, Most of us who drive through the 'Bend regularly try to slow down to the required 60 kilometers per hour at the edge of the village. If you don't remember that it's time to slow down, there will sometimes be a black and white car sitting on the side of the road to remind you. Well, on that day, my husband failed to notice the reminder, and soon saw red flashing lights in his rear view mirror. A member of our neighbourhood police detachment presented him with a little blue slip of paper. (This same constable had already given a similar slip of paper to another member of my family. At that time he expressed concern about reading the account in the paper. Well, Bill, this time I'm printing it.) Getting a speeding ticket didn't really upset Victor. He knew he deserved it, and there's nothing he could do about it. Unfortunately, it was just the beginning of his problems. While Victor was out talking to this member of Ontario's finest, Pepper had become impatient waiting in the truck. He moved over to Victor's seat and put his paws on the edge of the window, looking out to see what was going on. Then the black and white car drove away, and Victor walked back towards the truck. Pepper was wagging his tail and bouncing up and down.' In his excitement he accidentially put his paw in the button that locks the door and pushed it down. When Victor got to the door, he was locked out with the dog inside. Have you tried to teach an excited puppy how to unlock a truck door? School had just been dismissed and soon a crowd of children gathered around the truck to see the cute dog. Had the dog not been locked in the truck, I'm sure Victor would have gladly given him to one of his admirers. Even the old straightened coat hanger trick didn't work. When the end of the wire emerged on the inside of the truck, the dog would bat at it with his paw. Just as Victor's patience with the cute little pup ran out, a good friend and neighbour drove by, and Victor flagged him down. The friend drove Victor home, and fortunately he found the side door unlocked. I guess we had failed to notice the unlocked door because the Christmas tree was erected in front of it . Anyway, he managed to get his spare keys and his friend drove him back to his truck and Pepper. By this time it was too late to go shopping, so he turned around and drove home. As he went in the door we regularly use, he saw that he had knocked down the Christmas tree by coming in the side door on his last visit. So he spent the next few minutes standing the tree up and putting decorations back on. When I got home an hour or so later, he was working on the vacuum cleaner which had become all clogged up with pine needles. Needless to say, he was not in the best rni;le.114thnia9turISi wa d gldin.lnoOrtme getting be any ChristMOS presents. * * * When I first sat down to write this New Years column, I figured I'd have to say something like "1979 has been the greatest year of my life." On second thought I decided that that would sound too corny, and gave up the idea, Then I thought again--and decided that I would have to say that 1979 has been the best year of my life. How often do you get an M.A., a real job, a dog and a husband all in one year? The year started off well last January when I came to the T-A for the month as part of my course in journalism at Western. I think I learned' more that month than in the other 11 months in jour- nalism school. I finished the course in April and was granted a master of arts degree. Not too long ago I ran into a man who asked me if I needed any education or training to get a job as a reporter at the Exeter Times-Advocate. His tone changed when I said that I had a B.A. in English and an M.A. in Journalism. But I must point out that I think I've learned the equivalent of several more degrees since coming to work at the T-A. Anyway the T-A was good enough to hire me when school finished, and I was given my first real job. The only drawback to em- ployment I've found is that now I have to pay back all those student loans. The advantages of working here are many-I've cer- tainly made an abundance of new friends this year. Victor and I were married in the middle of 1979, and at the end of the year we celebrated the 10th an- niversary of our first date. And I'd like to say that the past six months have been even better than those nine and a half years. Along with the wedding went a great trip to England and Scotland. After that we had a wonderful summer waterskiing on our river, right up until the 26th of September. Christmas was more enjoyable than ever this year. For the first time in several years I didn't have to be worrying about studying for exams or writing essays just before the holiday. I even cooked a goose on Christmas Day. And oh, yes--despite his threats on that day when he didn't do any Christmas shopping, my husband did have a few parcels for me under the tree. As usual, he spoiled me with gifts. So even if it does sound corny, 1979 was a very good year.
