pro-
blems of liabWty insurance has once
metre Arced Grand Bend council to
delay permission to start up the Jet
Ski watersport of E 3busines>t of Brad Col-
lins
Couocil has already lowered its re-
quirements
from three million to two
Millen dollars of insurance coverage
for this type of business, but in-
surancecompanies are refusing to
coyer these risks.
The village could also be liable in
tbe case of a claim and already their
own premiums have doubled in the
put year and so must exercise ex-
treme caution.
Earlier this year the sky divers
from Grand Bend airport were denied
permission to jump and land on the
beach - a colourful and crowd pleas-
ing tradition - because of the lack of
the two million insurance coverage.
Meanwhile other beach events will
proceed with Burgerfest on June 19-22
and Sandcastle Days scheduled for
Saturday August 9.
Mel Douglas, Chamber of Com-
merce representative, requested that
council approve the use of the
municipal buildings for a display area
during Sandcastle Days; that sand be
bulldozed into the competition area at
that time (cost $1000) ; and that the
students from Grand Bend public
school who helped with beach clean-
up have their own children's sandcas-
tle days on the beach this Friday.
Council received and discussed the
report of the May 27 recreation com-
mittee meeting. Wording of Quailing
to be located at both the"81 Crescent
and Ehler St. parkette play
posed some problems. Council
member Marsha Lemon felt that the
suggested wording "Public
playground: Use at Own Risk" sound-
ed too gruesome.
"Unsupervised" would be less
threatening.
The fact remains... the Village
could be held liable regardless of
signs. Council member Bruce
Woodley questioned the inclusion of
the village municipal phone number
on the signs.
Council concurred with the recrea-
tion committee's proposal to turn
Municipal Drive and the adjoining
Bank of Montreal parking lot into a
"pay parking" lot on the July 1 holi-
day weekend to raise funds for the
local "swim bees" program.
- Grand Bend and area children are
taken to Exeter by bus for Red Cross
certified levels of swim instruction at
the pool. The cost will be over $1,200
for the transportation, thus fundrais-
ing and donations of support from
local groups is needed.
No decision was made, after con-
siderable discussion, as to the bylaw
or possible amendments concerning
the use of flashing lights to advertise
business premises. As it now stands,
the present bylaw is open to inter-
pretation and requires further
clarification.
A high board fence at the corner of
Beach St. and Hill St. beside the
Mahoney p y will be removed
next week by Rilage wp k crews with
the coapt touted to this properly owner.
The fence, alp with -
obstructs motorists' view perked
min-
tersection and"was also surveyed and
found to have been incorrectly install-
ed on Village property.
Additional costs involved, when it
was found that the light standards in
the Lions Club baseball diamond had
to be moved before the season began,
have caused some disagreement and
misunderstandings about of funds. Council moved request
u
that representatives of the Grand
Bend Lions Club attend the next coun-
cil meeting to discuss the matter,
Keith Crawford, bylaw enforce-
ment officer, reported to council that
the community was reassuringly
helpful and co-operative. One charge
was laid for excessive noise on the
May 19 holiday weekend. Motor
homes will not be allowed in the beach
parking lot as they tend to stay over-
night and pay the fine. The beach lot
closing time of 2:00 a.m. will be
enforced.
Third reading was given to the
bylaw concerning mill rates, and first
reading was given to five new bylaws.
Two concerned the closing of Beach
Street and the sale of some of the land
while another allows for the transfer
of funds from the parking reserve ac-
count to coverthe balance of purchase
price for the beach cleaner.
At 10:40 p.m., council moved to con-
tinue discussions in camera.
SCHOOL TRIP _ Grand Bend students from grades 7 and 8 are anxious to board the bus for Camp

Former UC .clergyman:
returns for thankoffering
Beit d Churck
The annual United Church
Women's Thank Offering Service was
held on Sunday at the Grand Bend
United Church. The guest speaker
was Rev. Don Irwin, who with his wife
Alice, were missionaries in Korea for
30 years.
Helen Sturdevant introduced the Ir -
wins. Grand Bend people first knew
the Irwinsas "army people" station-
ed at Ipperwash when it was an ac-
tive Army Camp in 1954. Don was sent
overseas as chaplain to Korea. After
his army career, he was commission-
ed by the Department of World
Outreach, here at Grand Bend United
Church. Don and Alice have- two
chosen daughters, Judy and Linda,
both married, with two grandsons.
The Irwin presently live in Waterloo,
since their retirement as
missionaries.
Rev. Irwin's message was on
"Reconciliation", telling the con-
gregation that Christianity in Korea
is quite different from the way it is in
Canada. He said he believed that
reconciliation is God's purpose for
every man and woman on earth to
learn to get along with each other.
Alice Irwin gave the children's
story with illustrated pictures of a
shepherd and his sheep. if a wolf
comes the shepherd chases it away,
the moral being that God looks after
His children as a shepherd looks after
his sheep.
The door greeters were Clara
Hamiltop, and Joan Eagleson, the
ushers were Geri Wright and Jan
Kobe. The call to worship was given
by Dianne Rice. Beulah Holt read the
scripture from Ephesians 2:19-22 and
3:1-6, and she thanked the speakers.
Special music was a solo by Millie
Desjardine, "Part the Waters, Lord,"
accompanied by her husband,
Morley. During the offering, the choir
sang "Whisper a Prayer in the Mor-
ning" and the choir anthem was "The
Earth, 0 Lord, Belongs to Thee."
After the service, refrest tents were
served in the Sunday School rooms.

Catholic news
Sunday marked the Feast of Corpus
Christi, the Solemnity of the Body and
Blood of Christ. The pastor, Father
Morrissey was celebrant at all
t masses, speaking from the Gospel
n where Jesus fed the multitudes with
n five loaves and,two fishes. -
n Hunger• is somethng seldom seen
n in our community, not a very ap-
e parent problem in Canada, one of the
better fed nations of this world. Yet
e Jesus cared enough to feed that crowd
d who were hungry, not really starv-
e ing, like those today in Ethiopia, in ur-
✓ ban and rural slums worldwide, who
n face death from starvation every day.
d We have no excuse not to see that
everyone's not merely fed, but has
enough to eat. People also have a
n hunger of the soul, for love, kindness
✓ and caring. The spiritual food -of the
Eucharist feeds our souls, but Christ
asked the Apostles and us today to
. ' feed the needy. What do We say when
He asked "Why do you not give them
something' to eat?"
The reader for the 11 a.m. mass
was Carol Luther, and Jean Crocker
substituted for regular organist Paul
Dietrich. The choir sang "This Is My
Body" and "Bread and Fishes" for
Communion hymn.
Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Al
Cunningham who recently celebrated
theif 50th wedding anniversary.
Remember in your prayers, Ted
Lane, father of Pat Lane and uncle of '
