They were to see if we liked them. If we did they would use them in other elementary schools. They taught us rescue breathing, treating for shock, how to bandage a leg or arm and how to stop so- meone from choking. The students enjoyed it very much. Michelle Vincent, Kathy Hendrick.

A Shot in the Arm. - Last week at Stephen Central School many students receiv- ed shots. Some were for T.B. and some were booster shots. - Eric Remkes Teeth Cleaning - The day came up that quite a few peo- ple hate. The day we get our teeth cleaned. Although the It's often said that dogs will resemble their masters. You see it on the television com- mercials - strange looking mutts with' even stranger looking people. • Well, I've been trying to tell my hus- band, Victor, for some time now, that our dog, Pepper looks like him. They have the same droopy, sad eyes. Well, the other night Victor went and took things one step further, and now he and Pep- per are practically twins. You remember a few weeks back when I told about Pepper's lit- tle confrontation with his cat neighbours? Pepper ended up with a scratched eye and we had to make a quick trip to the vet's. Well, the other night,. my husband ended up with a scratched eye and we had• to make a quick trip to the doctor's:No, he wasn't in a battle with the cats next door - he was on the receiving end of an opponent's hockey stick. Victor ended up with a very red eye, not unlike Pepper's of a few weeks earlier. All in all, it turned out to be one of those days where he would have been better off just staying in bed. Victor, not Pepper, that is. It was a generally rotten day, no thanks to me either. It wa' one of the coldest days we've had yet this winter, When 1 went out to start my car in the morning, she objected strenuously to the cold snap, and ony moan- ed a few times. When it became clear that she wasn't going to start without a little Mary's musings By Mary Alderson assistance, 1 jumped into Vic- tor's car to warm it up, so that he could give my car a boost. And what do you do when you want to start a car on a told morning? Well, you push the gas pedal right to the floor, don't you? I pushed it to the floor, but when I did all I heard was this - rather sickening cracking sound. Then the gas pedal just hung limply in mid air. Some small plastic' part had crumbled in the frosty morn- ing air. -4 Do you know what it's like to have to tell someone you've already broken their car when they're barely out of the shower in the morning? Mak- ing such an announcement is not my idea of a good time. Well, we called for help, and with little ado and the use of the )jumper cables my car Started immediately and I was off to work. That left 'a none -to -pleased Victor with a useless gas pedal, a mechanic and eventually a repair bill. He finally managed to get to work that day, but things weren't off to a good start. And they went from bad to worse. By the end of the day we were sitting in the doctor's office. i think Pepper's learned his lesson - he doesn't go poking" his nose in the cats' house anymore. Oh, he hasn't stop- ped tormenting them, but now he harks on the run, not paus- ing long enough to get in the way of any claws.- Do you think i can convince Victor not to get in the way of any hockey sticks? Or at least to wear a face mask?

Members Were reminded to save the IGA tapes for the club. 'Anglican Church The Rev. James Sutton spoke about anger and love in his sermon this past Sunday at St. John's Church. He told us that anger is inherently alive in all of us. We can be easily aroused to angeron any occasion. If we would- just stop and ra- tionalize the reason for our anger, it might be failure of one's self - an emptiness within. Rev. Sutton pointed out that even Paul in his writings referred to a divided church. We must allow people to be themselves and appreciate one another. As adults we must try to perceive the real concept of love, one for another. Quoting from Corin- thians 1:13, Rev. Sutton reminded us that faith, hope and love abide but the greatest of these is love. Coffee hostesses for the cof- fee hour after the morning service were Edna Mennel and Esther Gill. The ladies' group will meet on Thursday Feb. 3 at 2 p.m. in the Parish Hall.

The date was incor- rectly i`eported in last week's newspaper. Council termed negligent over zoning amendments Chided by senior Lambton County planner Janet Smolders as "pretty negligent", members of Grand Bend Council atten- ding a village planning board meeting last week bit the bullet when it was revealed that two amendments to the zoning bylaw were tiled for a year instead of being sent to the Ontario Municipal Board with objections for approval. To complicate the matter, it was learned that a memo from the ministry of housing was delayed for six months. Smolders said that the ministry blamed the mail ser- vice. Two weeks ago, the documents were found and finallyforwarded to Toronto. The matter was brought to a head when Auto -Marine owner Peter Warner ap- peared before the board to question paying a fee for the • rezoning of two commercial properties when he felt that with his original objection a year ago he might have been free of cost. He had objected to the particular re -zoning recommended because he felt the two properties would be too restricted when he sells them. Board members rejected Warner's hypothetical ques- tion but decided to recom- mend to council that the village cover half the cost of 'circulating the changes. Since there were four members of council at the meeting, it ap- peared that the variation in procedure would be accepted. Another recommendation by planners was that deposits for changes be lowered since it had been proved that costs were .not actually as high as anticipated. Deposits accom- panying applications for rezoning and site -plan Area growers get grants- for facilities Two Lambton county growers were among 19 On- tario growers and packers to receive grants under the On- tario Storage and Packing Assistance Program for Fruit and Vegetables. The program, funded by the board of Industrial Leader- ship and Development (BILD); is designed to en- courage growers and packers to upgrade, expand and im- prove their operations. George W. Powell Ltd. of Thedford receiva $6,832 grant 'toward the Mstruction of an onion storage packing facility and packing equip- ment. Another $10,361 grant went to Alfons Frans Boone of Grand Bend for an, onion storage packing facility and packing equipment. The grants were announced by the Hon. Lorne Henderson (MPP - Lambton) on behalf of the Hon. Dennis Timbrell, Minister of Agriculture and Food. A total of $307,929 in grants was awarded. to the 19 growers and packers. The recipients invested- another $696,877 in the various projects. The grants cover one-third of the cost of new or renovated storage facilities for Ontario -grown fruits and vegetables for fresh and pro- cessing markets. They also apply to one-third of the cost of purchasing and installing handling and packing equipment. The BILD initiative is aim- ed at extending the marketing HEARING UNDERWAY Lawyer Andrew Orr, speaking for Ridge Pine Park Inc. last week, said that the group would have preferred to settle the matter of sewer charges with the village and Stephen Township without having to go to the Ontario Municipal Board for a hear- ing. The hearing is scheduled for February 8. "We will present cur case as succinctly as ; ossible", he said. "We want to discuss why we want the rates we've Designer's Unisex 10 Main St., Grand Bend.

With applications 'tor an of- ficial plan amendment, deposits. were dropped by a third. Smolders explained that all costs must he justified to the ministry. Costs usually result from circulating information about changes to residents within 400 feet of the proper- ty in question either by direct mail for less than 100 ratepayers or by newspaper for more than 100 ratepayers. It was the first meeting for new board members Ralph McKinnon and Dennis Snider. Bruce Woodley was appointed temporary chairman. Members discussed; at length, a proposal by Wayne Forbes for a take-out fish and chips business at the end of his building on River road. Forbes markets fish caught by local fishermen in a retail business on River Road and he sells them on the wholesale market. It was decided to file the idea until Forbes had more details about what he wanted. Smolders, in a letter to the board, stated that a more precise interpretation of "ac- cessory use" was needed by the board to determine a bet ter meaning of the by-law concerning fishing buildings. There was. also some discussion on the Nadar "storage shed". Council representatives at the meeting wanted to limit fur- ther the size of such buildings to prevent them becoming dwelling places. Smolders said that they shouldn't keep changing by-laws to correct situations which exist under the law but should rather en- force infringements. :A recommendation was made that the Fraleigh park- ing lot have both entrance and exit on Main Street since the exit on King Street had caus- ed problems in the summer of )982. The King Street exit would be closed. It was agreed that the lot had been beneficial last summer. It was recommended that the -zoning by-law to imple- tnent the Official Plan with amendments be approved. The board decided to change its meeting night to the fourth Tuesday of the month.
