The natural resources ministry traditionally allows camping until Nov. 30 and had listed that date in its annual camper information publica- tion. But budget cuts made during the summer have left no money to continue opera- tions for the full season, Bass said. The 126 -site cam- pground will close October 31. The superintendent said staff hired for the summer season are usually kept on un- til after Thanksgiving but the budget cuts meant about 65 seasonal staff had to be let go after Labor Day. He said the campground has remained open and there has been a good numbei of campers on weekends. But it has been operated on the honor system, he said. rely -ng on the users to voluntarily pay fees because the park's per- manent staff of about 15 is toc busy with regular park duties to handle the extra work. Exceptionally good weather during the summer was credited for an increase in camping and day -use ac- tivities at the park this year. Bass said. A total of 78,258 campsites have been oc- cupied since camping season opened June 15, up 5.8 percent from last year's total of 74,186. The park will remain open for day use during the winter and spring, he said, With ac- tivities likely including cross- country skiing.

Why is it necessary for Christians to be humble? Some answers were that humility, like an apron, suggests service and it takes humility to serve God and share ourselves with other people. What should be the effect of the contrast between the duration of suffering and the duration of glory? Some answers were that we are more patient in suffering and it helps set our priorities straight. Suffering is grace before the glory promised by God. Vera Brown closed with prayer.

George Anderson, a former minister. As St. Luke's day was celebrated this past week on October 18, Rev. Anderson chose as his text St. Luke 19: verse 10. The son of man is come to seek and save that which is lost. He discussed St. Luke as a layperson and writer, rather than a doctor. He stated that this verse summarized the purpose of St. Luke's gospel that when we sinners come before God He hears our prayers, and answers, not necessarily in the way we have sought, but in His own way. Flowers were placed by Mrs. Barbara Sandilands in memory of her father. Coffee hour hostesses were Mrs. Jason Cole and Mrs. Sandy Stanlake. Catholic Church The celebrant for mass Sunday morning was Father R. Morrissey. The sermon was based on the gospel of the Pharisee and the tax collector and dealt with the sin el pride. Pride is well named rs the first of the deadly One. It is subtle and insidious like the Pharisee we a t nbt realize we are committing this sin. Do we consider ourselves better than anyone else for reason of race, creed, economic condition or moral standards? Do we feel any person or group to be distinc- tively inferior? There is a fine line between a sense of self worth which we as Christians should have, and the sin of pride .Which we should guard against. Congratulations to Kimber- ly Anne Crow (from this parish) and Daniel Howard MacLachlan, of Thedford, who were united by the sacra- ment of matrimony this past week. The organ and choir will be moved back to the middle of the church so we hope to get more participation from the congregation. The choir is do- ing a terrific job in adding to our Sunday eucharist, but they would like the support of the rest of the people. We are still looking for more choir members of any age.

Amendment A2 removed the "Environmental Protection" designation of the Official Plan from many pro- perties which, according to an engineering study prepared for the Ausoble-Bayfield Con- servation Authority, are no longer located in the floodplain. These properties were redesignated to other land uses. In one case, a property was added to the floodplain by the engineeringstudy and accordingly, Amend- ment ,42 reesignated it to 'Environmental Pro- tection". This By-law implements Amendment No. 2 by rezoning the affected properties in ac- cordance with the new land use designations of Amendment No. 2. This By-law generally applies to land abutting the Ausable River and Lake Huron in the village of Grand Bend. The Location Map and Schedule "A" shows more particularly the land affected. By-law 6048 of 1983 conforms to the Official Plan of the Grand Bend Planning Area, in ac- cordance with Amendment No. 2.
