There have been extremely gifted people, like the child -genius Mozart, who used their talents and are still remem- bered today. Do we make good use of the gifts God has given us? We are all gifted with the knowledge of Jesus Christ, and this knowledge and commit- ment deepens as we mature.

Discussion was heated after reeve Harold Green asked council members to publicly declare their stand on the issue. "I've been hearing disturbing re- ports about our sewage situation," Green said by way of explanation. Councilor Bruce Woodley declared that he was open to discussion on the subject. "Depending on the rate, Grand Bend could stand to make money on it (Oakwood's use of the system)," Woodley said, noting that villagers have approached him who are in fa- vour of the Oakwood hook-up. Green pointed out that council has drawn the conclusion, based on vari- ous studies, that the system is vir- tually at capacity. He added that, if Woodley was Rot aware of that fact, titiMffissOMOSSMSNONgainnent UCW meets Members of the United Church Women met last Thursday afternoon in the Sunday School rooms at church. Marjorie Sturgess and Nor- ma Carey opened with a worship service based on the theme of Re- membrance Day. Marjorie read about thoughts and memories that people have on Remembrance Day.

Roll call was answered with "A war -time memory" which revealed both sad .and amusing memories.

Elizabeth Norris read the results of the nominating committee: Past president - Loreen Gill; President, Elizabeth Norris; Recording and cor- responding secretary - Eleanor Du- rie; Treasurer Teri Wright; Unit Assistant Treasurer - Hazel Broad; Stewardship and Finance - Beulah Holt; Church in Society - Eleanor Durie; Christian Development - Norma Carey; World Outreach Haz- el Broad; Communications - Annie Morenz; Manse Committee - Bertie Keyes, Elizabeth Norris, Loreen Gill and Evelyn Johnson; Pianist - Nola Love and Clara Watson; So- cial Conveners Elda Adams, East - Mary Love; Official Board Repre- sentative -Elizabeth Norris; and An- niversary Fowl Supper Elizabeth Norris. The nominating committee was . 21" Stereo T.V. Loreen Gill and Norma Walper; Vi- siting committee - Iva Latta; Com- munion Coordinator -Olive Webb and Jeanne Kading; Card salesperson - Marjorie Mason and Card Secre- tary -.Annie Morenz. Monetary donations were voted to be sent to missionary families, the Holbrooks in Nepal and the Wit- mers in Japan; also donations to Medical Electives, the Fred Victor Mission, Camp Menesetung and the Leprosy Mission. It was announced that the Christmas Ecumenical will be held on December 1 at the Green- way United Church at 8 p.m. President Loreen Gill closed with a poem "Quiet Time". Lunch hostess- es were Beatrice Wilson and Olive Webb. The next meeting will be on December 10, opening with a pot luck luncheon at 12:30 p.m. he should have been. The reeve maintained that allow- ing Oakwood into the system would set a precedent and that it would dis- criminate against previous delega- tions who requested a hook-up and were refused "Where do you draw the line at who you're going to let in?" an up- set Green asked Woodley. "You've either got to say yes to everyone or no to everyone." Councilor Woodley indicated dis- belief over recent sewer status re- ports. "I find it impossible to believe that the sewage was built for 40 years (capacity) and now it's down to five," Woodley said. "I can't dis- pute the figures -- there they are -- but I still can't believe it." Reeve Green concluded that coun- cil has made a decision and that de- cision stands. Councilor Marsha Lemon noted that Stephen township has a part to play in the controversy, adding that the entire problem could be solved by the annexation of Oakwood -- a step opposed by Stephen. "If he (Bob Scatcherd) has the same goals as us, it's a pity that he doesn't pay taxes to us so that he can benefit," she said. Noting that Stephen has offered no assistance to Scatcherd, Lemon suggested the township had different interests. "Stephen township's goals are not the same as Scatcherd's develop- ments. If he was in the village, he would get sewers and we could help him." The Oakwood Inn development was denied access to the Grand Bend sewer system early this fall on the grounds that it woulU be Unfair to grant non -rate payers access while rate -payers were denied the privi- lege.
