Fashion show 1 he concept of presenting a Feb- ruary Fashion Show featuring the best of Wintcr and Spring fashions is mind boggling. So the organiz- ers of the Grand Bend Winter Car- nival Fashion Show have found out. Some stores have not received their spring shipments, and have little left from their winter lines. Not a problem with shops the Winter Carnival Group have cho- sen for their February 5 Fashion Show at the Grand Bend Legion Hall. Perry Originals have designed and made special items just for the G rand 13 end show. Pearl Fernandes from Ex- pressions in Grand Bend went on a special buying trip to Montreal and the U.S. to select the perfect clothes for the show. Every at- tempt has been made to offer a unique blend of styles for every age group. Fur costs, bathing suits, and everything between will be presented with ease, to offer an in- teresting and entertaining evening. Wendy Macdonald, owner - manager of Ujena of California im- ported 24 new bathing suit styles in a variety of colours, to boost the 100 styles she offers now. Her swimwear is featured in Swimwear Illustrated magazine, plus a cata- Lynne Desjardine 238-8768 Roberta Walker 238-2471 Jody Glanville, 17, Miss Prow's Men's Wear, (Parkhill), Grade 11 at North Middlesex District High School, Parkhill.

After starting the busi- ness in 1978, Carolyn soon took in several seamstresses to meet the demand. In 1983 she added a line of cotton blended sportswear and soon outgrew the basement of her house. They moved to their present loca- tion at 483 Main Street Exeter, in 1985 and recently added a woven cotton line of casual/dressy wear. Another expansion, a store in Grand Bend, in 1987 has proven so suc- cessful that they have their sights on further locations. Special additions to the Fashion Show are from expert knitter Yvonne Falsetti and Rollies Sports, both of Grand Bend. A Fashion Ac- cessories Demonstration by Sharon Miller, Owner/Operator of Uniquely You will be presented during the evening as well; Door prizes are offered by cloth- ing suppliers and other arca busi- nesses.

David James, of M.M. Dillon En- gineers in London, presented a re- port to council outlining the drain- age difficulties presented by the development. The condominium project on Au- sauble Road has been held up be- cause inspectors won't issue the proper building permits until Kadle- cik has made drainage arrangements with council. While both parties want the pro- ject to begin as soon as possible, neither has an immediate solution. It was decided that Kadlecik would be issued a "no -connect" permit so - that construction could begin imme- diately. Under the agreement, Kadle- cik is committed to follow council's drainage orders at a later date. • Council is faced with the decision of either building an extensive drainage system now to accommo- date future development, or possibly tearing up the road or sidewalk at a later date. When Kadlecik suggested that he hook up to the existing drainage fa- cilities, James explained that that would put too much pressure on the catch basin currently in use. Councillor Marsha Lemon shot down the suggestion that a large sewer system be -installed for the sakc-of future development, point- ing out that thearea in question is already over -developed and that it is likely that Kadlecik's project will be the last of its kind on that street. Further complicating the issue is the existence of four drains running through the property on which the condominium will be built. James could discover neither the source or the outlets of the drains. There are no existing records of the drain lines. A further study has been commis- sioned by -Council. James estimated that the additional feasibility study would take approximately one week and would cost between S 1,500 and $2,000.
