He spoke of the confusion between nations because man has decided to go his own way and forget about God. God is not a God of confu- sion, He is a God of peace. Continuing he said we have the answer. It is Jesus. God loves all men everywhere and has the solution to problems of mankind. Choir anthem was "Come Thou Almighty King." The childrens story by Rev. Peebles was about trees and he compared children to trees growing quietly. If we are bad inside we are unable to pro- duce. If our roots are in church and Sunday school, we can grow in stature and Etiquette books can tell you proper procedure for dining out, and Ann Landers can ad- vise on any such question. But I have yet to see a solution in print for this problem: How do you get rid of a roving minstrel without being rude or hurting his feelings? The situation arose recent- ly when my husband and I went to an ethnic restaurant for a quiet dinner. It was a cold, rainy night and we were tired after a• long day of shopping. Anyone who knows our lifestyle, realizes that Victor and I don't get to spend much time'together talking. We get up in the morning and go in opposite directions to .work. Our days are spent more than an hour's driving time apart. While this makes for less communication. let's face it -- less communication guarantees fewer arguments. As for evenings -- well. we're either late getting home from work, or there's dance - exercises for me or hockey for him. One night a week there's curling. Our Satur- days are busy with wedding photography, and Sundays areforsuch chores as raking the leaves or putting up snow fences. That's just a reminder, dear. We really have to get that snow fence up before it snows -- ( isn't this great, girls?

During the service the sacrament of baptism took place . when Kassie-Jo, daughter of Frank and Linda Voogel was presented for bap- tism. Godparents, standing with the parents and baby, were Gordon and Mary Spiers. Joan Eagleson presented the baptism certificate. Flowers placed at the foot of the cross, were in loving memory of Mrs. Blanche Morrice, of Southcott Pines, by members of her family.

So occasionally it's nice to eat out -- not just to get away from cooking and cleaning up, but also to be able to carry on a pleasant conversation. We chose this particular ethnic restaurant because we know it's quiet and seldom crowded. Nothing is worse than having some loud and obnoxious talkers at the next table drowning' out your con- versation. This restaurant has red velvet curtains separating each table from the next. We were immediately warmed up with delicious home-made soup, and didn't have long to wait before we were treated to the main course. A handful of other guests were quietly enjoying their meals, while we took ad- vantage of the time to get caught up on each other's news. I was just commenting on how pleasantly peaceful the meal was, when I was inter- rupted by loud music. 'Oh, it wasn't a loud rock and roll hand, but it was still quite loud in a small restaurant. In keeping with the ethnic. flavour of the restaurant, the two musicians were dressed as gypsies. They were playing their own version of "Somewhere my love" -- one on • an accordion, the other with a violin. • The music prevented fur- ther quiet conversation. we just raised our voices. Then conversation became impossible. The musicians spied us behind our red cur- tain. Because there wasn't a lot of people in the restaurant. we were 'the target for the roving minstrels. The violin player stood at our table and serenaded us. When he finished that number, he asked us what our favourite song was. Well, we were pretty sure he wouldn't be able to do any Moody Blues or Bob Seegar -- in fact. I'II place bets he couldn't even do Beatles, so we didn't know what to say. "I do another. You like," he ordered. We ap- plauded politely when he finished that song. He smiled, and for a moment 1 thought he was going to sit down at our table. But he burst into music again, still hovering over us. Again he asked for requests and again we couldn't think of anything he might be able to play Nor did we recognize any of. the Hungarian or Austrian songs he was play- ing. By this time it was get- ting embarrassing. and we were finished eating. Finally. I mumbled that we had to go We left the restaurant to con- tinue our conversation in the Cilr.

Corn yields varied from 50 to 150 bushels to the acre, with a majority of growers harvesting 90 to 100 bushels. Yields of spring grain were. below average, while farmers got a rare third cutting of hay. According to Randy Hall. secretary treasurer of the On- tario Bean Marketing Board, the size of this year's white bear. crop is down, but the quality is excellent. The Board expects the 65,000 acres planted this year to yield 800,000 cwt. bags, down from 1982's one and one-half million bags produced on 115,000 acres. Though last week's price had softened from $38 per cwt. to $34, that was still more than quadruple last year's abysmal $8 per bag. Huron County ag rep Don Pullen reports the soy bean yield was better than had been anticipated in mid- summer, with many growers harvesting 30 to 40 bushels per acre. The price is strong at present. The excellent fall weather permitted farmers to plant their intended acreage of fall wheat, a pleasant contrast from the previous year. It has been up in most areas for some time, and looks good so far. The erractic weather this. Signals to be installed Signal lights will be install- ed at the Huron St. CNR crossing within a year, Ex- eter council members were told this week. The signals have been ap- proved by Canada Transport: Deputy -Reeve Lossy Fuller told council that the crossing was almost the scene of another train -car trash recently. She related that a woman working in her yard near the crossing saw a car ap- proaching the crossing at the same time as a train, and the woman waved her arms in a desperate attempt to warn the car driver whom she realized was not aware of the train. The car came to a halt just inches away from the train as it passed ,through the intersection. The male driver of .he car, realizing the close call he had avoided; returned some time later to thank the woman for her warning gestures. LAKESIDE SUMMER RESORT 349.2710 Laktrsldo, Or.t.

Times -Advocate, November 23, 1993 Page 2/ Iharhg suggests efforts to solve problems Two issues under con- sideration at an Ontario Municipal Board hearing in Grand Bend Monday after- noon were adjourned sine die (indefinitely) with recom- mendations from chairman, E.A. Seaborn that an effort be made to work out solutions with the village. The fust issue was with the proposed boundary line defin- ing the north beach property which has been granted the village of Richleigh In- vestments Ltd. The problem of defining the 166 feet of beach to the west of the property involves whether it should be measured from the water's edge or from an inland marker. It had been agreed previously that Richleigh would grant that amount of beach to the village at the time of the signing of.a sight plan agreement for develop- ment of the old Casino property. Jack E. Davis appeared for the company. Old survey maps are not clear as to the east and west boundaries of the property. The chairman suggested that a hearing cot.'d be continued if matters could not be worked out with the village. In the second matter, con- cerning the property of Udine Adams, on the bluff above the south pier, the chairman sug- gested that the Lambton senior planner,. Bill Hotta, organize a better survey • of the property. The cliff of the Adams pro- perty had been designated en- vironmantal protection as a School may not reach construction deadline Wingham residents may have to keep their fingers crossed so the Huron -Perth Separate School Board can meet itsJunedeadlinefor con- struction at Sacred Heart Separate School. Board chairman Ronald Murray of RR 1 Dublin said the board is "happy to get the'. money" to undertake the con- struction project but, at its November 14 meeting, some board members were uneasy wondering if the com- pletion date could be met. "I wish it every success in the world, but it doesn't look good," commented trustee Louis Maloney of Dublin. The board recently receiv- ed approval to add one new classroom, a libraryresource area and a stage in the gym under the Canada -Ontario Employment Development (COED) program. The total cost of the project is $161,500 with the provincial and federal governments kicking in $68,620 and the board pay- ing *92,880. The board's share will be debentured. When trustees year contributed to the variability in crop yields. Pullen recalled the rainy, cold spring that cleared up just in time to let producers plant their corn. When the corn was have made final decisions, details will be released. • "The money came after a lot of discussion with Ramsey ( Hon. Russell Ramsey. Minister of labor:", stated Murray. Trustees fired -questions at administration regarding the board's ability to complete the project by June. It was noted that the government funds under COED have to be spent by June. "The government didn't give us any more time," com- mented trustee Vincent McIn- nes of RR 2 Wingham con- sidering the delay in the ap- proval of the COEd funding. Superintendent of business and finance Jack Lane said the main thing is to use all the COED funding within the time allotted. If necessary. during possible shut downs because of winter climate, the workmen could%be kept busy doing other necessary work in the school system. He sug- gested that money saved from doing this work could be channelled to the COED pro- ject within the deadline. "No one said it was going to be easy," said Murray. Workmen for the project will be chosen from the ranks of those who's unemployment insurance benefits have end- ed and they are still unemployed. result of recent re - designations in flood plain areas. Mrs. Adams felt that the designation was not fair since part of her summer home could be situated in the E P area. There has also been a question of part of her pro- perty being under water and a concern that that portion should not be taxed. Seaborn reiterated that a proper and clear survey was necessary, and, if an agree- ment could not be reached with the village, the hearing could be continued at a later date. Tom Murphy, of Donnel- ly and Murphy, appeared on behalf of the village. PHONE Ma ryhelen's Unisex Shop 69 Thomas St. Perm Special $2O.00until Nov. 30 (reg. $25.00) Open Tues. - Sat.
