Thirdly, and most im- portantly, the closure of a grocery store anywhere, results in slow business becoming even slower. What little Hensall had to offer before, is even less now. It is easy to presume that the retailers that are left in Hensall are going to find it even tougher to make ends meet. A grocery store is usually a drawing card for shoppers. We don't even have that to depend upon anymore. It seems to me, that this is only the beginning of a downward slide for the Village of Hensall. And no one is to blame except for the About people you know...

Dear Editor, At 6 p.m., on January 3, 1981, approximately ten people from the Hensall area will be officially unem- ployed, and a longtime retail establishement will no longer be in existence. The closure of Al's Super- market of Hensall Ontario is a sad and tragic event. One of the major land- marks of the downtown area will no longer be open for business. The question that comes to mind is; "Why does this have to happen?" The answer to this of course is that it closed because of a lack of business. Inevitably, there is an underlying question, "Why is it, that a community of over 900 people could not support a small little grocery store?" It is a complex question, and therefore we must look at the facts. I realize that Hensel] really doesn't have that much to offer when it comes to retail businesses. We don't have a beer store, or a liquor store, or a pharmacy, or this, or that, or whatever!. However, the businesses we do have, are neglected by the people of Heneall. If people canteve a penny, they will go someplace else to shop . It is sad to think that the larger shopping centres are getting bigger and richer at the expense of the smaller centres. I'm not blaming anyone f or not being loyal (Well, in a way, I am) However, I do the same if I can save some money also. The idea of shopping out of town, not only affects the individual, it affects several individuals. Firstly, due to the closing of the grocery store, many elderly people who depended on Al's for all of their groceries, will now have to find other means of ob- taining these items. • Secondly, the livelihood of several people has been cut off. And now these people (your neighbours) are forced to go on unemployment or =•-A little learning is aE .= dangerous thing.

Phone 262.402. Hold. special. services to mark festive season Family Communion was celebrated in a packed church on Christmas Eve at Hensall United Church. It was conducted by Rev, Stanley McDonald, with over 200 partaking of the Elements, with families sitting together as much as possible, the Fellowship of • Christmas was stressed. The Christmas story was revived by a series of Bible readings by. the Young people, anthems by the senior, ch0r and carols by the congregation. The carol, "0 Come All Ye Faithful " and the anthem "In The Bleak Midwinter" with soloist Mrs. Donna St, John and Ron Mock and prayer composed the approach. Following the processional prayers, The Hearing of the Word commenced. Lessons were read by Scott Jesney, Randy Parker, Glen Slade, Steve Gerstenkorn, Starr Jesney, Dana Bozzatti and with the anthem Jesus Bambino, told the story of the Nativity. Rev. McDonald lit the Fifth Advent 'candle signifying Jesus, The Light of the World, The Enactment followed, with the invitation to the Sacrament of Communion and prayers of-Thanksgiving and Intercession with the choir adding the beautiful Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring. During the Sacrament the choir rendered the Ave Verume by Mozart in muted tones. . Following the Benediction, all who had taken part in: the. service received a candle and passed the light from the Advent candle, then took up positions around until the whole Sanctuary was within the Circle of light, signifying the, Family of God begun by. Jesus, the. Light of the World. While this was progressing, - Silent Night was sung. Ushers for the service were Steve Corbett and John Beer. The regular Sunday ser- vice at Hensall United Church was held on December 28, condUcted by Rev. Stanley McDonald. Two duets were sung by Mrs. Gail Shaw and her father Don Travers. Flowers from the funeral of the late Mrs. Grace Harpole flanked the pulpit, placed in loving memory by her daughter and family. Ushers for the service were John Beer and Ross Veal. The children's talk reminded the children to get rid of the bad in 1980 and look for the good to take its place in 1981. The message was titled Taking Our Inventory. Just as stock-taking takes plece in stores at the end of the year before new goods are put on the shelves, so we must clear out the mistakes of the past'and fill the futUre year withmarthier goods like cheerfulness, integrity, strength under trial and goodwill. Invest wisely and with a clear conscience and look to God;for guidance. Next Sunday, the officers of the Hensall. United Church' • be dedicated, at. the 11 a.m. service PASSES AWAY Mrs. Grace Harpole for, merly of Hensall died in Hilltop Manor Nursing Home, MarrieVille on "December 23 in her, .92nd year.

Finally', I would just like to say to those out-of-town shoppers (myself included), that when you shop out of town to save that 10 cents on a loaf of bread, you are not only hurting others but you are hurting yourself,because you are killing your hometown. So the next time you need something, think twice before you drive five miles to get it. You'll be helping not only yourself, but your neighbour as well. At this time, I would also like to ackowledge those people who have been loyal to their hometown over the years. You know who you are, and I thank you! Sincerely, Michael D.
