Children attending the YMC ceriec will have the rare opportunity of seeing this group perform in concert after seeing them at the workshop in the afternoon. Last year many children learned about the history of music in Ontario when another Youth and Music pro- gram was presented at the Grand Bend public school. Music About 200 featured vocalist Anita Baker who is now presenting a new program call- ed Somthing to Sing About in several Lambton County Libraries. The fabulous vocal trio, The Genes will be performing at the North Lambton Secondary School prior to the full length concert in Grand Bend as well.

To be eligible students must be in grade 5, 6, 7 or 8 and have a ride to and from the concert. Students wishing to volunteer in this manner should call Youth Co-ordinator Yvonne Clay at 238-8021. The concert Association is also pleased that students will be perfor- ming in a bonus concert as part of the series this year. The NLSS concert Band is an excellent band that has performed in New York and Chicago. Not only is this an opportunity for students to perform, but it is an op- portunity for subscribers to hear a variety of music such as big band tunes, ragtime music, movie and TV themes. and pen tunes not usually heard in YMC concerts. Yes! Concerts are for young people too! Tickets for students only cost $10 for all six concerts and the Concert Association will treat every group of six high school students that purchase series tickes to a large pizza at Pizza Delight on opening night. Tickets for the entire family only cost $50. Con- certs are excellent value for your money and there is now need to worry about unsuitable content.

If you had a mental picture of a per- son dressed in baggy blue overalls, carrying a long broom handle with a nail in the end, trudging through the sand spearing papers and candy bar wrappers, you about 20 years out of date. Today we are talking about a highly sophisticated piece of $40,000 equip- ment with a "Power Take Off Shaft that drives a 2:1 metre gear box, con- nected to a roller chain reduction with shear pin protection". If that doesn't impress you, then try this...the substantial amount of money is for the deluxe rake portion of the rig. Then you have to have a (recom- mended) 60 hp four-wheel drive rub- ber tired tractor to pull it! This miracle of the twentieth century removes debris such as "glass, cigarette butts, pop tops, tar balls, stones from !z" to 4" diameter, sea grass, kelp, and pieces of wood (2"x4") up to 4' in length." Grand Bend beach at one time or another qualifies for just about every named type of debris and even adds a few of its own. Cleaning the beach - one of the town's most valuable assets - has been a problem since the turn of the century when the town grew to be more than a fishing village. It seems the more man pro- gressed, the more garbage was created. The high cost we now have to pay has become a concern to everyone. A revewed spiritof enthusiasm and determination has gripped the citizenry of Grand Bend. In the wake of some adverse remarks about the village reported in the Toronto Star, most are trying to turn the tide and make sure Grand Bend remains an ideal place to vacation. Keeping the beach dean is one sure way. Spearheaded by the ebullient Dave Scatcherd, owner of Oakwood Inn, a "beach cleaner fund" campaign was founded with a $500 donation. Reeve Bob'Sharen and members of council are personally talking to every business establishment in the area suggesting a $100 donation - thereare more than 125 names on their list. To date, over $1000 has been col- lected and $2000 in pledges. This will be supplemented with matching grants and some council funds. Even- tually they expect to publish a list of names in recognition of those who jumped in with both feet at this time and kept the momentum going. Is your name on it? Wherever there is a gathering of a few Grand Bend residents, the topic of conversation is the beach cleaner and pride in the town. Cottagers, residents, and those who love and en- joy this great vacation shoreline in 'The Bend' are urged to come forward with financial donations of any size for the beach cleaner. Having already announced his retirement Reeve Sharen is determin- ed to leave council with a "cleaner" reputation. Next summer, watch for the one in the baggy blue overalls - driving the 60 hp four-wheel drive rubber tired tractor, with the model 600 surf -rake trailing behind. eig4 Adereede Ve4e4eleetigei !e4e4 M,.ytrr !>,WMD Resort church ladies hear family_ speaker Twenty-six ladies attended the afternoon union meeting. of United Church Women in -the Sunday School rooms of the church Thursday after- noon.

It was announced that the Fall Regional will be held at the Dashwood United Church, September 26 with the theme On the "International Year of the Youth."
