President, Mrs. Della Simpson presided for the meeting, opening with hymns and prayer. The group sang "Happy Birthday" to three members who observed April bir- thdays. Guest speaker was Rev. John Campbell, speaking on scripture from Deuteronomy 32, verses 7-12. He spoke of Moses being a keen observer of nature, how eagles stir up their nest, and God wants to stir us up and move out into the world. God acts as an, eagle over his people and His wing will bring us help at anytime. Nest meeting will be May 5 and the group plans • to go bowling. Women's Institute Grand Bend Women's Institute met last Thursday evening in the Sunday School rooms of the United church. A lovely display of the ladies' winter hand work articles were brought in at this meeting. Roll call was answered by, "A hobby I enjoy, and tell about it." The motto,"Real joy comes not from ease or riches or from the praise of men, but from doing something worthwhile," and was commented on by Millie Desjardine.

Lunch hostesses were Ann Russell, Nola Taylor and Karen Woods. 4-H The last 4-H meeting of the Macramarionettes held at the Town hall in Grand Bend with all members present. Roll call was answered by telling why the design chosen from a member's collection was her favourite. The club members filled in a "Decorating Know-how." quiz, then played a game called "Decorator's Delemma." In this game they had to answer questions about macrame or room arrangments, etc. After that they discussed the skit for Achievement. Day. • 'A.. After working at this newspaper for one whole year (that's right, today marks my first an- niversary), you'd think I would have developed a knack for approaching people to take their picture. I thought that I had come up with a line for every camera shy person out there, Most people, although some would never admit it, do like having their photograph in the newspaper. Others even go so far, as to specify that they want it on front page, But there are some who take convincing, when you get out the camera, And I thought I could talk anybody into having their picture taken, until the other day. I spied a large group of older gentlemen on the beach in Grand Bend strolling up and down carrying their metal detectors. I thought this would make an interesting picture for the Grand Bend page, especially if they were local folks. So I walked towards them, filling my shoes with sand. I didn't get a very warm welcome„I identified myself, and asked them where they were from. Out of town, was the terse reply. Then I asked if I could take their picture for the paper. No, I was clearly told. I tried a big smile and a little persuasion. No, they said, there are enough people out there with metal detectors now, and we don't need to advertise the fact that you can use them on Grand Bend's beach, Now I'm not sure, but I thinkmost people know that there's a beach at Grand Bend. And a lot of those people already own metal detectors. Many of them have already combed the beach in their hunts. Anyway, this group of men wouldn't let me take their picture. No way, It sort of makes you wonder what they were finding. On the other hand, I always have willing subjects when I go to Grand Bend nursery school. Even teachers Miss Cathy and Miss Sharon have pleasant smiles when I drop in. It's always interesting to see the children's reaction to the camera. You spot them doing something really cute. It would make a great candid shot. But if they happen to see the camera as you approach, a sudden change will occur. It's a conditioning, just like Pavlov's dogs. Upon seeing the camera, the child will suddenly stand rigidly at attention, his little fists clenched at his side. A huge phony smile will be pasted across his mouth. And he will stare blankly at the camera. So parents, next time you get out the camera, please don't say to the kids "Stand up straight, smile big, and look at the camera." Try some candid shots. Can you believe that I've survived a whole year of attending Grand Bend council meetings? Even with perfect attendance, I still have a long way to go to catch up with Bob Sharen. Everyone should go to a council meeting some time. It's really not a three ring circus, you know (There are four council members, plus the reeve and clerk. That makes six.) Actually the meetings are well run and usually very interesting. In an entire year of attending two meetings a month, I've never fallen asleep, and some of those meetings run rather late. Anyway, drop in some Monday evening. Don't wait until you have a complaint. It must be rather depressing for council members to only see the taxpayers when they have something to gripe about. Mary and John Neave, of 74 Ontario Street, wish to announce they will be leaving Grand Bend to take up residence in Hamilton Ontario, on April 29, and wish to thank members of the United Church Women's Institute, senior citizens and etc„ for their kind ea- operation and help over the last three years. Mr. and Mrs, Lawrence Johnson, and Mr, and Mrs, Earl Thomson have returned home after a three week holiday in Florida. Lawrence is presently on another bus tour trip to California. • Winners of last Wednesday' night bridge game, which is held weekly at St. John's Parish hall were, north- south, Betty Hoyles and Sue Baumgartner, east-west, Nancy and Griff Thomas. Several Grand Bend Women's Institute members attended the Indoor Gar- dening summary day at Dashwood Community centre last Monday evening. Guest speaker was M.S, Patterson, of Kirkton demonstrating floral arrangements for special occasions. Mrs. Lennea. Statton,, of White Rock, B.C. is holidaying at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Johnson, and visitirig other friends. Mrs. S.M. Barbour, ac- companied by her brother- in-law Clarke Kennedy, returned home last week to Toronto, after holidaying the past six weeks with the Kennedy's and other relations. Clarke spent a few days visiting his son Jim in Toronto. Mr. and Mrs. William Thomson, of Oak St., have returned home after spen- ding the winter in 'Florida. Tommy M orenz, celebrated her 13th birthday last Thursday. Guests at a turkey dinner in her honor with her sister Glenda, and parents Mae and Roy Morenz, were Glenn and Judy Thurman, Dania and Stacey of Dashwood, and Mrs. Mary Coxon of town. Sharon Morenz, of Boca Raton, Florida, is holidaying at her father's home, Roy and Mae Morenz and other° relatives in this area, There is going to be a separate meeting for the club members taking part in the Achievement Day skit. Achievement Day is on May 3 at Stephen Central School at 9:15. Project manuals and free-choice macrame ar- ticles are to be landed in on or by April 19. Cancer canvass With only four out of 20 canvassers reporting, the new Grand Bend unit of the Cancer Society has already raised nearly $700, according to canvass convener Hazel Blewett. The door-to-door canvassers are just finishing a blitz on the area. Mrs. Blewett says that $292 was raised in the sales of fresh daffodils. A generous donation was received in memory of Dorothy Hamilton, who recently passed away. Money was collected by her friends and neighbours at Grand Cove Estates. • ismswommaxwita Mary's musings BY MARY ALDERSON VINYL NO-WAX CUSHIONED FLOORING BY m strong Comes 12-ft: searnSaver width so it's easy to install over, most existing floors. • Resists stains, scuffs and scratches.

If your butcher doesn't carry Ontario rabbit regularly, ask him to order it for you, but , give him a week's notice. If • you wish, he will probably cut it into serving pieces for you, too. Rabbit meat can be roasted, broiled, braised, barbecued or fried. For „ example, to roast a whole rabbit, stuff it with your favourite stuffing (about 2 cups per rabbit), lay bacon strips over itand place it on a rack in a roasting pan. Cook at 180 degrees celcius (350 ', degrees Fahrenheit) for 25 minutes per pound. For that special dinner you're planning, choose Ontario rabbit.
