NOTICE OF INTENTION TO
DESIGNATE ARCHITECTURAL AND
HISTORICAL SITE
TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the Corpora-
tion of the Village of Hensall intends to
designate as a place of architectural and
historical value or interest, the following pro-
perty for the following reasons:
PROPERTY: TOWN HALL
108 KING STREET
HENSALL, ONTARIO
REASONS:
The Hensall Town Hall on King Street, built in
1914, is recommended for designation for ar-
chitectural reasons, as it is an early example
of rural public design; skillfully using local
materials and craftmanship. Historically the
building has served as a focal point for ac-
tivities, and as a civic symbol for three quarters
of a century. This proposed designation is in
accordance to several major policy statements
contained in the Village Secondary Plan.

Hensall United Church
The United church was
filled on Sunday morning for
World Wide Communion Ser-
vice. Mr. McDonald spoke on
the subject of The Response
to Our Togetherness having
as his text "All who believed
were together and had all
things in common, and day by
day, attending the temple
together and breaking bread,
they partook of food with glad
and generous hearts, praising
God and having favour with
all people." He spoke of the
unity of Christians around the
world and how World Wide
Communion Sunday sym-
bolizes the world-wide
fellowship of the Christian
faith. Whatever we may say
about the disunity of the
church today, looking unto
Jesus, we have a unity of the
upward look, he said. He clos-
ed by saying that service is
the response to our
togetherness. From the work
of the Christian churches
throughout the world to our
local church and community,
Christians must be known for
their love of one another and
having that love spread out to
those around us.

came a soap and water clean-
sing, then a steaming tent for
everyone where we relaxed
for 10 minutes.
A facial scrub was followed
by a face mask. We learned
how to determine our skin
type. Mrs. Hoggarth
demonstrated how to make a
cucumber toner, which we ap-
plied at the last. Our faces by

glow. A lunch of "happy
faces" was served by Mr:
Hoggarth to finish off our in-
teresting meeting.
delivered to the Exeter town
office by courier. A note in-
side explained that the
orange -red bulb program was
the project of the Delta Lloyd
Schadeverzckeringsgroep
company to commemorate
the thirty-fifth anniversary of
Holland's liberation by Cana-
dian troops, and in recogni-
tion of the strong bond
established between the two
countries at that time.
Deciding she had nothing to
lose by trying, the Hensall
clerk wrote to the company in
the Netherlands asking if they
would consider sending bulbs
to Hensall, too. She received
a replay, making no definite
commitment but asking when
tulips should be planted in
Canada. Betty sent off
another letter saying October
was the best month, and
heard nothing more from
Holland.
She had almost forgotten
the exchange until last
Wednesday. Two large boxes
were delivered to the Hensall
village office. The outside of
each was stamped "Product
of Holland". When opened
each box revealed 1,000 Dutch
tulip bulbs.
Members of the Hensall
BIA will plant the bulbs in the
downtown flower beds, and
spring visitors to the village's
Centennial celebrations next
year will be greeted by tangi-
ble evidence of a still -strong
bond forged many years ago.
