In addition Mrs. Crabe was elected, member of the Dawn Crabe national board of Youth and Music which meets quarterly in Montreal. Mrs. Crabe was instrumental in the formation of the Grand Bend Concert Association three years ago and has been a member of the Provincial Committee she now heads for the past two years. Harbour staff welcomes visitors on personal touch It's the personal touches like a warm smile of recognition, some home baked muffins as a thank -you to a grateful boater, and quick effi- cient service that sets the Grand Bend harbour staff apart from those in other harbours. Harbourmaster Dave Gill and his hand-picked staff of five (an increase of one more than last year) have been especially busy this early part of the boating season with organization, maintenance and clean-up. This in- cludes repairs to the quarter deck, clean up of winter debris from the south beach, and even flower planting. Two members of last year's staff (Dana Bozzato and Andrew Sanqua) did not return and thus three positions were open this year. Over 20 ap- plicants were interviewed - the deci- sion was based on work experience, skills such as pumping gas or handl- ing money. But the greatest asset is a friendly personality and a desire to work. Joining Scott Hayter, Patti Love and Dave Gill are Starr Jesney, Lee O'Rourke, and John Harris this year. The job isn't as glamorous as it looks. Besides the fun of meeting lots of interesting people as the head is pumped out and the gas pumped in, the less desireable washroom and shower room scrubbing is always on the duty sheet as well. Each member is trained in the care and use of the Harbour "Yacht" (in- flatable), the walky-talky system and of course the marine radio, the lifeline of the harbour. Visiting boaters are greeted as they approach the docks and escorted per- sonally to their berth and given aid if needed. Registration ins the Harbour building facilitates the keeping of records such as the origin and size of visiting boats as well as providing an Weekly Special (K) KONGSK�Lo6 Row Crop KONGSKILDE Row Crop Cipitivator ow n, "Folding" "One Only" Complete with rolling shields, 2 -guide coulters, 4" shares, hyd. cylinders and hoses, 2 parking stands. $2,950°° CaII Now am di BRO ' nI t FARM EQUIPMENT LTD. Sales & Service Since 1932 Exeter, Ont. 235-2121 opportunity to introduce the visitor to Grand Bend. Since the auxiliary Coast Guard was authorized last fall, the harbour staff are not as active in rescues or boating accidents etc. However, in close co-operation with the beach patrol and marine radio monitoring, Harbour is there to assist a boater out of gas or a windsurfer in trouble. Alert, hard-working, and friendly, the harbour staff are the welcoming committee to many visitors to otlr village. The best endorsation they could have is the boater who came to' Grand Bend for the first time last year; liked the people,so well they have returned twice this year already, and have planned at least two more visits this summer. A visit by land can be just as in- teresting. Drive along River Road, pass and admire the sail boats at the yacht club docks, chat with one of the fishing tub captains after the day's catch, then on down to the harbour building and meet the outstanding group of young ambassadors of good will- and welcome to Grand Bend. Catholic News A special mass was celebrated Saturday afternoon for Angela and Jack Morrissey in honor of their 50th wedding anniversary. Father Mor- rissey welcomed all the family and friends who attended the service. Soloist Roberta Walker performed a selection of five pieces for the mass, including "Ave Maria," You'll Never Walk Alone" and "Panis Angelicus", accompanied by Paul Dietrich. The church choir sang at the Satur- day evening service, with Martin Vroliyk as reader, and Denise Duchou as cantor. The choir performed "Let There Be Peace on Earth," and "Peace is flowing like a River" at communion, with the entire con- gregation joining in the "Star Spangl- ed Banner", for the American tourists' fourth of July. Congratulations to Gregory James Ulrich, son of Gerry and Barbara (Meigr), to Matthew Aaron Boucher, son of Joseph and Cindy (Reid) and to Tory -Rose Van Praet, ,the daughter of Brady an() Leslie (Kir- wan), all of whom were baptized this past week. Members of the CWL, don't forget to work on your crafts and commit- tees for the August 2 Bake Sale and Bazaar - let's make it a great success! United Church Special music at the Grand Bend United Church outdoor service was provided by "The Happy Farmers' Harmonica Band" from New Ham- burg. The band played several toe - tapping gospel numbers, and then were accompanied by their wives, singing the "Old Country Church". Greeters for the service were Joan Eagleson and Norma and Lloyd Walper. Rev. Peebles chose as his scripture, Isaiah I, and the topic of his sermon was results or consequences. In this scripture passage, the pro- phet Isaiah speaks to the leaders of God's chosen people to "hear ye the word of the Lord." The Israelites thought their worship and praise was good, but it was actually worthless, unless they had sincerity, integrity, and the right spirit toward God. So it is with the church today. God looks beyond the form and ritual of worship and looks into the heart. Have we become hardened to, or less enthusiastic about God's word? Our actions and decisions bring about con- sequences or results. The day of op- portunity is fast passing away, so let's get right with God today. Youth and Music Canada fosters the careers of outstanding young Canadian musicians by providing performing opportunities and profes- sional coaching, presents concerts by these artists in many Canadian cen- tres and also sponsors the World Youth Orchestra. Our congratulations go to Mrs. Crabe,on this prestigious appointment. Youth attacked One theft and one assault were among the investigations conducted by the Grand Bend OPP during the week. The assault occurred around 1:30 a.m. on Friday. Eighteen -year-old Brian R. Wright, GrandBend, was walking west on Main St. when he was set upon by three unknown persons. Wright suffered minor injuries. The theft occurred the following day from a vehicle owned by Krista Rienhuis, Sarnia.

The marine patrol checked 67 vessels and laid five charges. Guides Camp -Out Twelve members of the First Grand Bend Girl Guides enjoyed a camping session at the Arkona Falls Campground, in the Trillium Trails section of the Guide camp. Their parents dropped them off at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, June 27, and collected them early Monday morning, June 30. Paula Taylor was the Guider -in - charge, with Zelda Inthout and Junior leader Susan Ratz, to assist her. They kept the girls very busy, cook- ing their own food, erecting tents, making crafts, swimming, and going on a nature walk. The girls walked in- to Arkona for the Canada Day Parade and got some pins. The 12 girls, all first year Guides, worked on their Pathways and Junior Camper badges, and even slept under the stars, one night. They all had a great time on their first camping ex- perience, but the leaders are, now gearing up for the older guides cam- ping trip to Doe Lake, later this month.
