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. ' Dart scores• Winners of this week's dart games held Tuesday evening of Branch 498 Grand.

Games are held at the Legion hall each Tuesday at 8:30 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. Church of God Rev John Campbell's ser- . mon topic Sunday morning was, "Devoted to one t another", with scripture from Romans 12 verse 10. Rev. Campbell compared the church to the family..

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 village boards.

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. 1 COmPu liEfiO Moving Dec. 1, 1982 1 ART READ Chartered Accountant.
