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

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

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.

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. Neilands
