Anderson chose John 10:11, for his sermon, "1 am the Good Shepherd" -- the Good Shepherd giveth his life for his sheep." He compared the church of God "which is the people", to the fold where all the people are nurtured -- to build them up spiritually. Continuing, Rev. Anderson said there are still people outside the fold who know nothing of God -- they are the lost sheep -- the spiritually hungry, and if they were told of God's love they would receive relief from their burdens. Coffee hour hostess was Mrs. Kay Kelly. The Anglican ladies group will meet May 7, at 2 p.m. in the Parish hall.

WHAT'S COOKING -- The Grand Bend Chamber of Commerce held their meeting at the lambton Heritage Museum Tuesday. Mae Morenz checks out one of the old wood stoves, while president Mac Dunlop looks on. Staff photo No approval for After another lengthy meeting, Knapps still weren't sure if they were going to be granted a zoning change to allow fox thex- pansion of their amusement park. Representatives of Knapps have been going to planning board and council meetings in Grand Bend since January seeking to have two lots which they own, that are now zoned residential changed to commercial for a "kiddy city". The lots are in Gibbs Park. At a special meeting of Mary's musings BY MARY ALDERSON Guess what? I won a dinghy! And I didn't even have to answer a skill testing question! We haven't yet had the official launching, but I am the proud owner of a white fibreglass mini -row -boat. I was the lucky winner of a draw sponsored by Thomp- son -Warner at their in -water boat show on the weekend. I figured we were lucky just to get a ride in one of those beautiful cabin cruisers, but when Esther Warner called the next day and said I was the dinghy winner, I was really excited. I think Thompson -Warner are hoping that now that I have the life boat, I'll buy the cruiser to go with it. Victor, my husband, says that we can put our springer spaniel in the dinghy and pull him behind our motor boat. Last summer we had Pepper out on a surf board going down the river water-ski style. Unfortunately he took a few tumbles. Maybe he'll like the dinghy better. I told Esther that I hadn't won anything before -- but that's not true. While I've never been a big lottery winner, I have had some lucky moments. I once won a beautiful Spanish seniorita doll at a Chamber of Commerce dinner in Grand Bend. That was in about 1971, when 1 was working in the chani- ber's tourist information booth. I would make the ideal contestant on "The Price is Right." When they an- nounced my number as the winner of the doll, I jumped up, spilling my water glass, and pulling the tablecloth with me. The flamenco dancer doll, complete with her red sequins and castanets, was the appropriate prize for me. With two sisters and a great aunt that are world travellers, I have a rather extensive collection of in- ternational dolls. Having about 70 dolls are great conversation pieces, but you should try dusting them! I was thrilled to take home one more, and she fits in with the rest beautifully. My most exciting win was back in about 1960, when I answered a skill testing question, and came away with a super-delux tricycle complete with coloured streamers. Romper Room (remember Miss Dorothy?) along with a vitamin company sponsored the contest. The irony is that I never did take thd'se vitamins - at thfft`ime my uncle owned a drug store and he gave me the contest forms. (I was a patient of Dr. E.A. McMaster -- who many of you will remember -- and he had little respect for the candy flavoured vitamins. Instead, he recommended little red yukky tasting capsules called orbits, I think.) Nevertheless, my name was drawn for the vitamin tricycle, and Miss Dorothy called to ask me a skill testing question. Now, when you're five years old and just told you might win a tricycle, answering any question on the telephone takes skill. But with a mother and two sisters coaching from behind, I couldn't go wrong. It was a "name that tune" question -- and I correctly guessed "Pop goes the Weasle". I didn't even need help! My parents took me to the Romper Room studios in London to pick up the trike. I wore my best pale green organdy dress, with two (count 'em, two) crinolines. Have you ever tried to ride a tricycle, wearing two crinolines, around a television studio, for the benefit of photographers? The pedals on the trike push your knees to the handle bars, and the crinolines come up, blocking your vision. I haven't yet picked up my dinghy. Do you think Thompson -Warner will expect me to go rowing in my best dress? Notice The Grand Bend waste disposal site will be open Saturday May 9 11 a.m. o 4 p.m. for Grand Bend and Bosanquet residents to dispose of garbage Knapps council with their solicitor Dan Murphy present, Knapps representative John Brock once again outlined the proposal. Brock felt that the expansion would allow Knapps to erect a new building, and upgrade the park, which would increase assessment and be beneficial to the entire village. Residents of Gibbs Park are opposed to the expansion. The proposal has already been rejected twice by planning board. When the question finally came to a vote before council the proposal was supported by councillors Mae Morenz and Keith Crawford, as well as Reeve Robert Sharen. Councillor Dennis Snider and Deputy Reeve Harold Green who live in Gibbs Park, voted against the motion. It was pointed out that council needs a two-thirds majority to over -rule a decision of planning board. No one was sure if three out of five represented a two- thirds majority. Sharen pointed out that in the strictest interpretation the motion would be lost. Clerk Louise Clipperton later contacted the Ministry of Housing, which set up the planning act, and learned that the reeve was right, and the motion was lost. Also at the meeting with their lawyer, council discussed the implemention of a minimum standards by- law, and the amount which should be levied for impost fees. Council went into a lengthly "in camera" session to discuss other legal matters. Bob Torrington spoke to members of the planning board about his proposed "board walk" area on Main Street. Torrington said that he was in the process of purchasing the property, and expected to erect more wooden booths. He said that he would supply one parking space per booth.
