Clerk Dianne Mollard read a re- quest for bow hunting on the �\. 1n d municipal waste disposal site proper- ty. It was moved by Deputy -reeve Harold Green and seconded by Court - and district mows Lynn Desjardine - 238-8768 r r Roberta Walker - 238-2471 cillor Doreen Seguin, that council grant permission to J. Barry Lugsdin and Norm Johnson to hunt with bow and arrow on the site. This was granted for only the bow hunting season of 1985. Mel Douglas, owner of Bonnie Doone Manor, approached council to request that the right-of-way be mov- ed from the east side of his lot to the west side. This includes a ten foot right-of-way. Douglas has agreed to fence both sides and put the steps down, and to pay all legal and survey costs in this matter. Council agreed, subject to the legality of the matter. It will be refer- red to Dan Murphy, village solicitor, and the adjacent property owner will be notified with respect to this proposal. Council turned down a request from the Lambton County Board of Educa- tion wishing to place two questions concerning full funding to Roman Catholic Separate Secondary Schools on the November 1985 municipal ballot. It was noted that the board's resolution to request the inclusion of these questions on municipal ballots was passed by just one vote. Reeve Bob Sharen stressed that he felt this issue to be an emotional one and that he personally favoured one single school system based on the questions of economics and quality of education. All council members echoed Sharen's sentiments on this issue. It was moved by Councillors Den- nis Snider and Doreen Seguin that council approve the sign permit ap- plication for Grand Bend Chrysler Dealership, 81 Crescent. This ap- proval was subject to the lease agree- ment being prepared for five years, annual fee, with the right to renew. Only two tenders were received for the village to purchase a new truck. Wallis Motors Ltd., Watford, and Jim Hayter Chev-Olds, Goderich, submit- ted their tenders which council felt were somewhat higher than an- ticipated. A decision will be made at a further meeting. Council approved an application for the Grand Bend Royal Canadian Legion branch 498, to manage and conduct a raffle lottery. The closing date for the sale tickets was set for October 25, 1985. Council approved the accounts payable in the amount of $154,777.52. After an in -camera session of about one-half hour, council adjourned at 10:57 pm. - 4-11 Club Ten girls met at the home of Loreen Gill for the first 4-H club meeting of the fall season.

For those seniors who are going on the golden Age Bus Trip to Elmira on September 26, the bus will be picking you up at 8:30 a.m. sharp at St. John's Anglican Church parking lot. See you then. Eunice and Walter- Cripps, of Saskatoon, Sask. have been spending an enjoyable time here visiting her mother Minnie, Mrs. Lawrence Curbs. Here's a beautiful recipe I've found for this time of year when we're all busy in the kitchen with nature's harvest abundance: "Preserved Children" Take one large field, half a dozen children, 2or 3 small dogs, a pinch of brook and some pebbles. Mix the children and dogs well together; put them on the field, stirring constant- ly' Pour the brook over the pebbles; sprinkle the field with flowers. Spread over all a deep blue sky and bake in the sun. When brown, set away to cool in a bathtub and store them in bed. Best wishes are extended to James Prance, Oak St., Grand Bend, who celebrates his 85th birthday on Thurs- day, Sept. 26.

Catholic Church news Father Morrissey was out of town this weekend, visiting with his father, who is 11l. In his place Father Vincent VanZuphthen came from London with 15 Seminary students, to celebrate the weekend Masses, while they are stay- ing at the Rectory. Father Van Zuphthen asked in his sermon, are we too pre -occupied with ourselves to be really "there" for others? Do wereally listen and hear • their cries for help and understan- ding? Where jealousy, envy and anger dwell, there is no room for God, only broken relationships. Jesus recognized the innate simplicity of a child; so too we must leave behind our pride and sophistica- tion. We must come down from the mountain of self-importance to become children of God, to serve others with love and understanding. The choir performed "Fill My cup, Lord", and "Let There Be Peace on Earth" at Communion. Congratula- tions and welcome to Susanne Maria Schoeley, the infant daughter of Werner and Margaret (Rath), who was received into the Catholic com- munity this past week by the Sacra- ment of Ba'tism.

Due to the many extra activities the leaders have lined up this year, there will be Guide meetings each Monday, irrespective of holidays, with the ex- ception of Christmas and March break. There are plans for a Hallowe'en party, a Christmas Par- ty, winter sports activities, fund raisers and camping trips.
