Christian Education staff installed There was an excellent attendance at the United Church on Sunday mor- ning for Christian Education Sunday. The service was conducted by Rev. Mr. McDonald with Belva Fuss at the organ. During the service Winona Hoffman and Belva Fuss sang a solo with Jean Jacobe at the piano. Bar- bara Gackstetter greeted the con- gregation and Rod Parker, Raye Jacobe, Steve McGregor and Jim Parsons were the ushers. Mr. McDonnald spoke on the sub- ject of "What Are Your Credentials?" He spoke some of the Christian's credentials as the Bible tells us: a life of healing, giving and freeing. He us- ed as his Biblical background Mat- thew 21: 23-32 about the father who asked his two sons to Go Work In the Vineyard. One said "Yes Sir," and then didn't go and the other son said "No Sir", but then decided to go. "Each one of us has a mission to fulfill, a mission of love. At the hour of death when we come face to face with God, I'm sure we are going to be judged on love," he said, "not how much we have done but how much love we have put into our actions." During the service the Christian Education Staff were installed. The Sunday School teachers for the com- ing year were Nursery One, Janis Bisback and Joan Corbett; Nursery two, Pat Campbell and Gail Reid; Kindergarten, Sharon Kyle and Judy Kyle; Primary one, Beth McGee; Primary two, Jean Jacobe; Junior one, Tammy Preszcator ; Junior two, Joanne Rowcliffe; intermediate, Steve Corbett and Elaine Corbett; Senior, Pam Mallette.

Sunday school Sunday Church School opened on Sunday at the United Church with a large gro"p of enthusiastic children and young people in attendance. Following the opening worship in the Sanctuary the children went to the Fellowship Hall for an Orientation Assembly as well as some singing. They then went to their proper class for a short session with their new teacher. An outline of this year's activities was given to each student for easy reference and knowledge of what was coming up. Opening worship was stressed, and the importance of each child attending the opening worship in the Sanctuary. If the parent is not able to attend some Sundays the stu- dent can sit with his teacher or a friend. This year there will be four special assemblies held with the Nursery and Kindergarten children holding a separate assembly to the Primary and older children. The dates of the assemblies are September 29, Oc- tober 27, February 16 and March 30.

Christmas White Gift Service is planned for December 8 at 11:00 a.m. and the Promotional Sunday will be June 8 with the children conducting both services. Once a month a Junior Minister will be chosen from a different depart ment each month who will assist Mr. McDonald with the opening worship. `Special Mission and Outreach pro- grams are planned for the Students. Each month one of the departments of the Sunday School will present Bibles for the children in other coun- tries; for this they bring their extra dimes and nickles. The month of March is Mission Month at which time they will be sacrificing something and giving the equivalent to the hungry children of the world. Special activities are also planned for the' year at Christmas as well as a wintea activity etc. The staff and students will be holding a special Bake Sale on Saturday, October 19 in the church Hall to raise money for these activities.

M 11 TRIP WINNER -- Rob Taylor.(left) drew the name of Doug Brodie, Exeter, as winner of the Hensall Kinsmen's September trip -of -the - month draw to Jamaica. With Taylor are co-chairman of the trip com- mittee Jack Aikenhead and Torn Neilands. New fire department officers appointed Two will contest reeve's. position During the regular September ses- sion of Hensall council, Reeve Harry 'Gunge! and Councillor Jim Robinson . announced their intention of vying for the reeve's position in the November municipal election. Councillors Irene Davis and Cecil Pepper declared they will stand for re-election. Councillor Dick Packham stated he will not be a candidate. Bill Bengough attended the meeting to ask if council was receptive to the idea of a caution light at the intersec- tion of Highways 4 and 84. He said he had helped children cross the highway that morning in the fog. Clerk Betty Oke. has already writ- ten MTC asking for direction in ob- taining a light. A letter from the Hensall B.I.A. an- nounced that MP Jack Riddell is set- ting up an appointment with the LCBO about the possibility of an outlet in Hensall, and will discuss with MTC the chances of opening a motor vehicle licence outlet in Hensall also. Works superintendent John Baker asked council to decide who has responsibility for a plugged drain at the rear of George Beer's property. After a great deal of discussion, coun- cillors concluded there is no evidence that the drain is municipal. Baker asked that Beer be inform- ed in writing, and a copy put on file, stating that unless proof to the con- trary is provided, the drain will be considered a private one. Councillors next turned to a pro- blem with Lorne Archer's basement drain. When the new storm sewer was installed on Brock, it was not placed deep enough to pick up the portion of storm sewer that comes from King to Queen Street, and thus closed off the outlet to Archer's basement drain. The engineer who examined the situa- tion suggested ascertaining if there is enough fall, and hooking Archer's drain into the catch basin. This would be less costly then trying to lower the other drain. Council will follow the engineer's advice and try to rectify the problem, as it was caused by the municipality. Baker also brought up the fact no shelter exists at the village dump for the attendant, who is on duty for four hours at a time. Baker was authoriz- ed to look for a suitable structure. Acting on the advice of consulting engineer Burns Ross, Betty Oke was asked to find out the cost of construc- ting an asphalt curb and gutter along the west side of Brock Street to solve the water problem in that area. Amendments to the parking bylaw were discussed. Previously no park- ing was allowed on Nelson St. from Highway 84 to Mill St. It will now be allowed between Queen and Rich- mond North on the west side to ac- commodate the nursing home. No parking signs will be posted on the east side of Nelson in the same area. No parking will be allowed on the north side of Mill St. from highway 4 for 800 feet west. The complete amended bylaw will be brought before the next regular meeting in October. A bylaw appointing officers to the Hensall fire department was passed. Leonard Hoffman is fire chief, and James Hyde is deputy chief. Frank Varley-and Melvin Wurm were ap- pointed captains. Terry Haugh is engifheer for fire engine no. 3, Frank Varley for no. 2 and Peter Zwaan for the water tank truck.
