A telegram from the Small

Department of Oceans and
Fisheries was read by Clerk -
Treasurer Dianne Mollard
concerning the village taking
possession of the new harbour
building. She also read a
report from County building
inspector Dallas McCall
outlining the deficiencies of
the structure. Council turned
hands down on acciepting
responsibility for the building
until repairs are made to
bring it up to standard.
Councillor Murray Des Jar -
dins said that he inspected the

a lot of improvements."
Council decided to send a
copy of the McColl letter to
Public Works Canada and
SCH with an explanation of
the stand of the village on the
matter.
Keys for the building were
sent so that staff hired could
occupy part of the area.
Public Works Canada had
suggested a list oftfaults be
sent to the department.
Among the problems listed
by the building inspector were
better roofing, proper
window -sill finishing and
general tightening up of the
structure to prevent wind and
water damage.
Bosanquet dog catcher,
Hank Reckman was at the
meeting to outline his costs to
the village for looking after
the dog problem. (Grand
Bend has been without an
animal control officer for the
past few months.) Reckman
explained that he had a
holding pen on his Thedford
property and that dogs would
be sent to a large pound in
Glencoe.
Council decided to take ad-
vantage of Heckman's ser-
vices to try to clean up the
problem of dogs wandering at
large around the village. He
was requested to do a two
hour patrol next weekend.
Dog owners will pay a $25 fine
for dogs loose in the village
and an added $25 for dogs
without Grand Bend tags. To
date, Mollard said, there were
only eight tags purchased by
village dog -owners for the
year, Beckman was told to
only accept calls for pick-ups
from the Reeve and the Clerk'
of the village.

ft was. learned that the old
post office is now moved to
the new site on the property at
the corner of Highways 21 and

given the go-ahead to ,do
routine weekly inspections of

Anglican Church news
Rev. Jim Sutton based his
sermon on Luke 10:1-12 and
17-20. in Luke's gospel, God
sent men out to the different
nations to spread the word of
Jesus coming to find out if
people were prepared and to
find out if they were true
believers. There seemed to be
a sense of urgency ire this
mission.
We, in 1983, must be
prepared to face the coming
of the Judgement Day. It is
hard for us to realize in this
world of hatred, anger, fear
and disillusionment, but
unless we rise above it we
cannot be sure of the comfort
of peace. Mankind is doomed
if they do not accept the peace
of Cod's word:
Coffee hostesses following
the morning service were
Mrs. Edith Chisholm and
Mrs. Blanche Morrice.
United Church news
Guest minister for first out-
door service at the United
Church Sunday, and who will
bewith usfor the month ofJu-
ly, was Rev. Gordon Pickett,
• of Goderich.
The scripture reading he
chose was Epistle to the
Romans, chapter 8:1-8, 31-39.
Rev. Pickell's meditation
thoughts were, "The Chris-
tian Roadways."
As he shared his thoughts
he said the Christian road is
not easy but vital. The four
ways he spoke of were: 1. The
road of awakening, about the
experience of Saul of Tarsus
on the Damascus road, 2. The
road of service. about the
Good Samaritan on the
Jericho road, 3. The road of
Commitment,.about Jesus on
the Jerusalem road, 4. The
road of fellowship. As some of
Jesus disciples walked on a
road, heavy hearted, because
Jesus had been crucified, they
suddenly discovered that
their Master was still with
them.
Special music was a hymn
sing. led by Mrs. Marlene
Brenner. While Marlene sang
the verses, the congregation
joined in the chorus, of the
numbers. "Sing Alleluia,"
"Love is the greatest gift,'
and "One more step."
Guest organist was Mrs.
Ruth Sheppard, of Parkhill.
Our new minister, Rev.
Robert Peebles, from Wat-
ford United Church, will be
presenting his first sermon
here on August 7. His induc-
tion service will be July 28.

Deputy -Reeve Harold
Green and Reeve Bob Sharen
were in sharp disagreement
about parking. An addition to
a downtown store and a re-
quest by the village for $7000
in lieu of parking space set off
a flurry of comments by
Green. He felt that the store
was a walk-in type of business
and that the penalty, when
there was not room for park-
ing in the area, was too steep.
