McKillop road to be paved A crowd of close to 30 people applauded McKillop Township Council as it decided to pave con- cessions 12 and 13 (east of Huron County Road 12 to Huron -Perth Boundary Road). Council made the decision at the June 7 meeting, after the third appearance of a delegation seeking the work. The township also approved pav- ing sideroad 10 and 11, 21/2 miles north of highway 8 back to conces- sions four and five. The cost of asphalt for the 8.75 miles of road for the two projects is $387,537 and the township will use its roads reserve of $308,000. McKillop Township Council will also seek provincial -federal infra- structure funds to help pay for the work. McKillop councillors urged the residents to talk to their MP and Possible subsidy for McKillop A new grader for McKillop Township could cost $154,286. The township is applying for subsidy on the equipment and could purchase it if money is forthcoming from the Ministry of Transportation. McKillop Township Council also authorized its roads superintendent to advertise for reconstruction of more than a mile and a quarter of sideroad 5 and 6 from concessions two and three north. The estimated cost of the work is $100,000. McKillop Township Council joins other area municipalities in having its roads grants cut.

The Quartet Gloria Wilber, Graeme Craig, Don McDonald, and Marion Godkin sang, Just a little talk with Jesus. Guest speaker Jim Reed, former host of television's W-5, came to the front to talk to the children and told a story told to him many years ago. It was about a scorpion on the banks of the River Jordan who wanted to get to the other side but couldn't swim. It saw a frog down the way and asked if the frog would swim him across. The frog said he wouldn't because he was afraid the scorpion would sting him and kill him. The scorpion told him that he wouldn't do that because if he did they would both die. The frog thought that over and agreed that it would be the good Samaritan way. So the scorpion got on the back of the frog and half way there the spider stung him and they both died. Jim had asked the story teller what the story was about. He had said that that was the Middle East - All trust and love lost. Someone needs to bring back that trust and love and the idea of the Good Samaritan and take the 'sting' out of the Scorpion. The Sunday School led by Donna McClure and Patty Banks, sang a round called, 'I Love the Mountains'. Marilyn McDonald read scripture and Viola Kirkby introduced Jim Recd. She welcomed him and thanked him for being the guest speaker. Jim told the congregation he has been a journalist for 25 years working for major publications, 'Canadian broadcasting', Canadian Television and more. What he has learned in life is how much he doesn't know. That was made very clear to him, he said, when he first went to the Holy land in '69. MPP urging approval of the funds. Coun. Ron Murray said he didn't anticipate there would be a problem receiving infrastructure funds. McKillop could be eligible to contribute up to $55,930 to infra- structure work which would be matched by the provincial and federal governments. The provin- cial -federal portion would be $111,859.
