Couples discuss
human sexuality.
Members of the Couples
Club met Saturday evening in
the Sunday School rooms of
the United Church, with
guests from _ Hensall,
Dashwood and Greenway
numbering about 40 in
attendance.
Guest speaker was Archie
Andrews, of Bayfield, Chris-
tian Counsellor, who spoke on
"Human Sexuality", as it
relates to the report 'put out by
the United Church.
Rev. H. Moore opened the
meeting with scripture
reading and meditation.
Couples in charge this
month were Jan and Don
Kobe, Brenda and Dennis
Mathers, Harley and Elaine
Moore, Elsie and Leroy
Keyes.
Lunch refreshments of
sandwiches and coffee were
served.
Bible coffee hour
Ten ladies were out Tues-
day afternoon to the Bible cof-
fee hour at Mrs. Nita
Sinclair's home. The chapter
studied was "Hindrances to
prayer, led by Betty.
Campbell.
Some of the reasons.
discussed were: 1. Asking for
selfish reasons; 2. Pride. The
prayers of the Pharises were
not pleasing to God because of
their show or pride; 3. Jesus
stressed the importance of a
forgiving spirit. An unforgiv-
ing spirit, carrying grudges,
bitterness and resentment is
a real hindrance to a Chris-
tian's prayer life.
The ladies thoroughly en-
joyed a discussion on this and
it will be continued next week.
The meeting will be same
place at 1:30 p.m. '

Anglican Church
Rev. J. Sutton talked about.
the coming again of Jesus.
Each of the Bible readings
seemed to mention the power
of evil and darkness
throughout the earth at that
time. The readings from
Daniel 12:1-4, Hebrews
10:31-39 all told about the
strife and trouhle in those
very early days.
Rev. Sutton specifically
talked about Mark 13:24B-31.
Ile mentioned that Mark was
the earliest of gospel writers,
he lived in the time of Jesus.
In that reading from Mark. he
told us about the sun becom-
ing darkened, and the moon
giving no light and then the
Son of man will come in
power and glory.
Rev. Sutton reminded us
that 1983 is the year of
"Anglicans in Mission" and
we must take stock of our in-
dividual aim and ask
ourselves. "What are we go-
ing to do as our Mission, what
commitment are we going to
make'" Perhaps it is our aim
to visit the sick, to speak to
people who have slipped or
are in trouhle or need.
Rev. Sutton feels this is a
time -of crisis and we must
respond personally in reflec-
tion and prayer and get a
sense of what God wants us to
do.
Coffee hostesses folIowing
the morning service were
Mrs. Irene Brock and Mrs.
Elizabeth Brownlee.

. mon topic Sunday morning

about seniors housing. It
seems they are the only ones
that can really communicate
with the seniors. This will be
the key subject for the first
meeting."
Sharen said a recent sutvey
indicated very few village
residents were in need of
seniors accommodation and
he doesn't think that it was
very accurate. He added,
"This is where the clergy
come in. They can help us get
a clearer picture of the actual
need."
Council was advised of a
property standards officer
seminar to, be held at the
Wheels Inn at Chatham.
A resolution from the
Lambton Health Unit oppos-
ing a move to return respon-
sibility for private sewage
disposal to municipalities was
supported.
Councillor Mae Morenz
reported total receipts for the
village parking lots for the
summer were $18,507.
Final plans for a new
village fire hall are expected
this week and councillor Den-
nis Snider urged that tenders
be called as quickly as possi-
ble. the result of slow results
from the . November 8
municipal election, reeve Bob
Sharen suggested the village
be split into two polling divi-
sions for the next election in
addition to an advanced poll.
He added; "Waiting until
almost midnight to get final.
results is away too late.
Establishing two polling
booths would speed up the'
process a lot."
At the same time, Sharen
reminded candidates in the
recent election to submit their
election expense report as
quickly as possible.
Councillor Keith Crawford
who is retiring is setting up
terms of reference for various

As a result of a visit from
Ausable-Bayfield Conserva-
tion general manager, the
village will be requesting the
Authority to doan erosion
control study on both sides of
the Ausable River from the
Highway 21 bridge to the lake.
At the same time Prout
assured council that the pro-
posed "E"project would be
completed this summer if
provincial funding is
available.
Prout explained that the
project has been approved
but he wouldn't know for sure
until mid-February if the
necessary monies were
available. The province pays
85 percent of such projects.
The Authority manager
said the area which he hoped
would be done this summer
would cover about 400 feet
upstream on the north bank of
the . river beginning in the
area of the cruising club and
would protect seven homes.
He added, "The estimated
cost of the project is $230,000.
But, I think that's a little high.
The village's share would be
about $31,050."
Prout also indicated that
monies have been slated in
the Authority budget for ero-
sion control in two other
areas. They would be behind
the Gaiser-Kneale and Bank•
of Montreal properties.
