Carter was speaking to the annual meeting of the businessmen's association which saw a turnout of only 13 out of 80 members. The Chamber president and second vice president Len Hume told the meeting a. forum on downtown redevelopment which they attended in Toronto earlier in the month proved -to be a worthwhile experience. Both 'men said Grand Bend was not in the position to have a Business Improve- tnent Area which had been suggested to the Chamber by the village council. Carter said therewas much ground which had to be covered in the village before the B.I.A. concept could be considered. An of- ficial plan and an occupancy standards bylaw were two things which the village needed. Carter suggested. I wish to thank the ratepayers and electors of the township of Stephen for giving me the opportunity of serving as Councillor, Deputy -Reeve and Reeve. It has been a most pleasant experience. It has also been my privilet»--to represent the township at the county level. I trust I have carried out the wishes of the local residents. Also I wish to express my appreciation for a lovely retirement gift. It will always bring fond memories of the years I spent on council. As another year draws to a close both Eleanor and myself wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Hap- py and Prosperous New Year. .Ex -Reeve Cecil Desjardine In 1st Quality Canadian Knitwear ladies' 100% pure wool long sleeve Fisher knit PULLOVER Hos oil the appearance of on Irish hand knit, however it's machine knit in our -own Irish Canadian mill.
