Anglican church news Several from St. John's attended the Sunday mor- ning joint service held at Trivitt Anglican church in Exeter to hear guest speaker Dr. Douglas Fox. of Huron College. London. The Anglican church ladies met Thursday after- noon at the Parish hall for their February meeting with ten in attendance. Mrs. Lillian Best convened the meeting which opened with prayer. The ladies are pleased with the financial proceeds from the euchre party held at latter part of .January.

All joined together for refreshments of chips and cold drinks. Two carloads of young people from Church of God attended the "Youth for Christ" meeting Saturday evening. at Brucefield and saw a film, "Heaven's Heroes." United Church news Flowers in the United church sanctuary today were in loving memory of Glenn Desjardin, placed by his family. Rev. H. Moore's sermon topic today was Faith is...Strength from God, with scripture readings from Jeremiah 26: 8-15, Philip- pians 3:17 - 4:1, and Luke 13: 31-35. Choir anthem was "Jesus is His name". The Senior Sunday School students attended the first part of the morning service and Rev. Moore spoke to them on "Some questions computers can't answer". The Couples Club will meet February 14 at the church at 8:00 p.m. to go to the Pinery Park for a fun night. weather permitting. Everyone welcome. was prepared for an on- slaught of male chauvenist macho -men on ego trips. But, to my surprise, I found nothing but gen- tlemen, telling good clean jokes and having a lot of fun. The only chauvenistic comment of the evening came from Mount Carmel priest Father Nelligan who reminded the athletes that his was the only profession into which women hadn't made inroads. The star of the evening, despite the name Sport- smen's Dinner was in fact a female. Our local Tammy, Christine Easterbrook, spoke on behalf of crippled children. All proceeds from the $25 a plate dinner went to the Easter Seal Society. Christine is a very eloquent little lady, and all the athletes were humbled in her presence. Females were again well - represented when figure skating champ Lori Baier spoke. She told about her rigorous fitness program, and I'm sure none of the male athletes present could better her stamina. To get in shape,Lori runs up and down the many steps in the big Preston arena where she practises. Lori attended the dinner along with her part- ner Lloyd Eisler. some silly rule in the league, only American boys get to play quarterback. When I went to Western University, Jamie Bone was the big football hero. I didn't go to many football games, but I still heard about how great Jamie was all the time. He wanted to play for the Hamilton Tiger Cats, but because of this ruling, he didn't make the team. Now he's fighting the rule in court. Gerry Datilio is backing him up. It only makes sense that Canadians should be able to play any position they want to in the Canadian Football League, doesn't it? The Sportsperson's Dinner was very entertaining, and the laughs were many. Some of the speakers had all the polish of a Vegas night club comedien. So ladies, next year when your husbands and boyfriends are scraping together the money for a ticket, whip out your cheque hook and say you want to go with them. You'll have an enjoyable night out, and the money 'goes to the Easter Seal Society to help crippled kids. 'y Now, even if you don't know anything about sports, you'll probably recognize a few of the names at the dinner. I doubt if there are very many women who can avoid hearing the occasional Saturday night hockey game on television. No doubt the name Jean Beliveau is vaguely familiar. I gave you a hint -- his game is hockey. And with a name like Beliveau, you should be able to guess that he is connected with the Montreal Canadiens. He was a big star with them in the 50's and 60's: _ Beliveau is far from what you might expect of a has- been jock. He is an in- teresting speaker, and a courteous and gracious gentleman. If you were able to guess Beliveau, then the name Don Cherry will probably ring a bell. He has coached hockey for the Boston Bruins and the Colorado Rockies. Now he's a television commentator for NHL hockey. Ile's what you'd call a character -- but a very nice one, when you meet him in person. He talks frequently about advice he gets from his dog, Blue. Blue, 1 believe, is one of those very intelligent, but rather homely bull terriers. My apologies to bull terrier owners -- i guess their brains make up for their lack of good looks. Anyway. Don Cherry gave me Blue's autograph for our dog Pepper. Another speaker tit the dinner was Terry Puhl. He's from Saskatchewan, and plays baseball in Houston. Texas. 1 guess it's a big deal for a Canadian boy to make it in major league baseball. Unlike a sterotyne lock, TOURNAMENT HOSTS Optimist club president and hockey tournament chairman Shane Burley (seated) checks over schedules during the tournament Saturday. Helping out were hockey chairman John Russell, and entertainment chairman Don Labelle. Staff photo Check cemetery zoning Members cf the striking committee of the Grand Bend, Stephen and Bosanquet cemetery met in Grand Bend Tuesday night. Dashwood funeral director Jim Hoffman chaired the meeting. Bill Kingdon and Fred Thomas represented Bosanquet township, whlle Mae Morenz and Dennis Snider were present for Grand Bend, and Allan Walper attended for Stephen. It was decided that Doug Russell would act as chairman for future meetings. The cemetery is planned for property located in Bosanquet township, south of Grand Bend and just east of Alhambra Hall. It was decided that the Bosanquet representatives would look further into zoning questions for the cemetery. The represen- tatives did not know if it is necessary to contact people living adjacent to the property concerning the establishment of a cemetery. The committee met with a surveyor to have the property outlined for plots. Hoffman offered to look into bylaws in Exeter and Thedford concerning the establishment of their cemeteries. No date was set for the next meeting, as the com- mittee wanted to meet with a ministry official concerning regulations.
