members recently returned home
from the south joined the congrega-
tion for worship. They were greeted
by Fred Willert and Mr. and Mrs. Roy
Johnson, while Chris Pearon and Mrs.
Doris Peebles were ushers for the
day.
A cordless microphone was
presented to the churchby Marjorie
Demare and Robert Ginn in loving
memory of their parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Lloyd Ginn. Rev. Peebles
received and dedicated both the gift
and a plaque in their name.
The scriptures were read by Dian-
na Rice. The choir sang "I have
decided to follow Jesus". Rev.
Peebles gave his sermon in the series
based on the Apostles Creed- "I
believe in the Holy Spirit". He
brought out three main points, that
the Holy Spirit is a sign of life, of
power and of fellowship. The Holy
Spirit will convict, cleanse, guide and
lead us into all truth, producing in us
the fruits of joy, love and peace, and
giving us the power to be more effec-
tive witnesses for Him. May we be us-
ed as channels through which the Ho-
ly Spirit can carry on the work of His
Kingdom.

Grid Bend cleaner fund gets boost
from Image Cleaners
The beach cleaner fund thermometer located on the front lawn of the
Grand Bend Municipal Office, will soon start its temperature rising.
The GB and Area Chamber of Commerce announced last week that
the village cleaners, Image Cleaners, Ontario St. N., have initiated a
spring cleanup for the resort community. On Saturday, April 12 all items
that are taken to Image's Grand Bend location will result in a donation
to the village's beach cleaner fund. Fifty percent of each invoice price
for the service will be donated.
Grand Bend wins two ways; a cleaner beach and cleaner garments.
The Chamber applauds Image's initiative and encourages the communi-
ty to support this effort for a cleaner village all around. Mark your calen-

reader at the 11 a.m. mass, Roberta
Walker was the centor, and the choir
sang a special hymn, "Allelu" at
Communion time.
Father Vince questioned the true
meaning of wishing others a "Happy
Easter". Is that expression based on
the old Hebrew "Shalom", which
asked for all of God's material bless-
ings on someone? Or is it more close-
ly translated to "Peace Be With
You", as Christ greeted the Apostles.
Then He breathed the Holy Spirit
upon them and gave them the power
to forgive sins. Wishing a "Happy
Easter" then, asks that God will
breath a new spirit of renewal into our
lives, to fill us with His Holy Spirit.
Then we may be sent forth, as the
Apostles were, to bring others into His
Eternal life.
Each family may obtain a supply of
Holy water, to be filled from the vases
at the Baptismal font at the front of
the Church, from the Blessing of the
Waters at Easter.
Father, Morrissey would like to
thanleall those who made the Holy
Week - Easter celebrations so
beautiful: the choir, the junior choir
and the director, the organist, the law
readers, altar boys, lay communion
distributors and thoese who cleaned
and decorated the church, the
creators of the chocolate Easter eggs,.

ly attended the weekly devotions all

They should not let envy and worry

not allow themselves to be in-
capacitated by worry. The closing

FOR MATURE STUDENTS
ATTENTION ADULTS! HIGH SCHOOLS ARE NO LONGER FOR ADOLESCENTS ON-
LY'. INCREASINGLY, MATURE STUDENTS ARE RETURNING TO HIGH SCHOOL
CLASSES TO GAiN THE PERSONAL SATISfACTION OF EARNING A GRADE 12
DIPLOMA.
These are questions commonly asked:
,1.1I1ho are Muture students?
. Adults who have been out of school for at least one year and who are over
18 years of age may be given special consideration to help them graduate
from high school. The principal may grant a mature student up to 12 credits
for the experiences gained in the adult world.
2. 1s it difficult going back to school?
Yes. Our adults students report that the first month is difficult. Once this ad-
justment period is over, the students recognize the experiences and value
adults can bring to a classroom. Teachers will accept and welcome you for
your contributions._
3. do 1 have to spend all day? all year?
No. You could attend mornings or afternoons if full-time attendance is not
possible. With the semester system, courses run from September to January
and are finished in five months, instead of the traditional ten month period.
Night School, Summer School and Correspondence Education are .other
methods adults have used to increase their credit earnings in a compact period
of time.
4. Are other adults going back?
Yes. Age does not seem to be a factor. Each of the secondary schools has
an increasing number of adults in day time attendance. You would not be
alone.
S. Who .can answer my specific questions?
The Students Services staff in each high school would gladly answer any ad-
ditional questions. Call and arrange an appointment preferably during the
week of April 14 to April 18. Schools are planning their September timetables
at this time and advance registration is to your advantage.
