Health, he said is the state of not being sick. Sometimes our bodies can give us grief. Doctors look after our unhealthiness, but we as a church must try and prevent sickness by an emotional state and convince people they are cured. The church is a cause and a relationship with God which is safe and secure. Leaders and followers of the church must help to give all people, faith, hope and assurance, to help them keep well in body and soul. Coffee hostesses were Mrs. Alice Marsh and Mrs. Emily Sweet.

James CONCERN FOR HARBOUR - Several concerned Grand Bend citizens attended a meeting to discuss the harbour Friday evening. Expect tenders soon for harbour dredging According to Ralph. Ferguson (MP Lambton Middlesex) tenders will be calledsoon for dredging of the harbour at Grand Bend. He did not wish to comment on the exact cost in a telephone conversation with a Times -Advocate reporter. Meanwhile, at Grand Bend, a third harbour meeting was held Friday evening. It was called by village council. In at- tendance were marina oW.ners, fishermen, recreational boaters, members of the Grand Bend and area Chanber of Com- merce, ratepayers and members of Stephen and Grand Bend councils. The meeting was chaired by clerk -treasurer Louise Clipperton. in the absence of Reeve Bob Sharen. It was learned at the meeting that the harbour is now not safe for boats which draw more than three feet. The weekly Mariners' Report has warned boat owners •of the risk of entering the harbour. Councillor Dennis Snider asked the group for some input as to who should pay for maintenance dredging in future years. There was some agreement that it should not be the village ratepayers alone., Clerk Clipperton read a letter which has been sent by the village solicitor to Small Craft Harbours branch (Fisheries and Oceans, Government of Canada ). , The letter states that, while the village agreed, in principle, to the proposal to dredge the river, the agreement should not be binding to future councils. The Small Craft Harbours proposal stated that the government would. bear the cost of dredging this year and that future dredging could cost users about 30 percent of the total cost. A letter from SCH to Ferguson states: "...the most , appropriate way to accommodate all concerned would be for . Small Craft Harbours to carry out the necessary maintenance dredging this summer and to advise the Village of Grand Bend, the commercial fishermen and all boaters using this facility that in future years we will allow from 30 to 40 percent of the cost of dredging against the commercial fishing in- dustry. This is on the basis that all fishing tugs using Grand Bend pay an annual berthage. The remainder of the cost will be split 50 50 between Small Craft Har- bours and the recreational boaters, including any other individual or groups that might be using this har- bour." At the meeting Friday night, council members • stated that there has been no written communication to the Village of Grand Bend from the federal govern- ment. In Ferguson's telephone statement he said he was upset with the letter sent to village ratepayers ex- plaining the Friday meeting which suggesed that the government should regulate plyments by the townships. He said that problems between Grand Bend and the townships could not be handled by the federal government. He also said that he has requested that im- provements be made to the harbour. "I feel there should be some improvements for tourists, someone there to provide information and customs service." At an earlier meeting, Ferguson had recommended a study involving a break - wall which would cost about $1,200 (one-third would be charged to Grand Bend.) He suggested this week that the National Research Council would consider the drift and what effect the angle of the breakwall would have on problems 'caused by the present angle of the pier on both north and south shorelines. When asked if a second study to solve erosion problems would be necessary he said, "I Can't comment on that. It might well prove that it would be better just to dredge every few years. In the study done in 1949 it was decided just to keep the mouth of the river open. What I'm interested in is just to get the darn thing dredged and go ahead with improvements for now. We need to take it one step at a time." was a son of the late Martha (Lamport) and Gordon McNair, of Ilderton. The funeral was held July 9 in Chatsfield, Manitoba.
