Ross Debra is completing drawings of areas and articles for which the village is responsible. These include landscaped and grassed areas, plants and planting beds, tree pruning, and the garbage containers, water fountain, street ben- ches, planters, signs, paving stones and lighting. The manual will outline re- quired labour, materials, equipment and other inciden- tals needed to maintain im- provements, and an on-going schedule ( weekly, semi- weekly, monthly or annual- ly), detailed description of work to be done, and work performance detail. The, completed manual should settlearguments such as the precise dimensions of town land at the railway tracks, and tiow often flower beds should be fertilized. It will also be a valuable source of information when the village is drafting tenders for work and/or maintenance of the improved area. Debra will be sorry to see her job end in February. The liensall native is fascinated with how much goes on in a municipal office, and the range of matters covered. The preparations for Centen- nial celebrations are an add- ed fascination. Debra graduated from Fitt- shawe College's two-year pro- gram in 1981 as an architec- tural technician, and worked for an architect in Alberta for two years before being laid off when the oil boom turned to bust. She was surprised end delighted to see the facelift given the downtown section of Russian slides at Hensall UC next Sunday There was an excellent at- tendance at the United Church on Sunday morning when Mr. McDonald spoke on the subject of "Who Do You Say That I Am", taking his text from Mark 8: 27-30. This being the theme for the Mis- sion Study for the United Church, he gave the background of the scripture and then asked the question Who do you, for yourself, say that Christ is? Who is .Jesus Christ now? What he was and did is not the question, but who is He now and where is He now to you. He then spoke on how the answer we give to this ques- tion would determine how we would meet life from day to day. The choir sang a very beautiful anthem by E. Thiman entitled "0 Love of God" and the children's story was `What's inside is what really counts". Scott Jamieson, Randy Parker, Rod Parker and Scott Jesney were the ushers. Next Sunday' morning will be V.I.M. Sun- day and in the evening Bill Mickle will be showing his slides of Russia at the 7: 49_ p.m. Fellowship Service to which everyone is invited. The flower at the front of the rch was placed in loving memo of David Vanstone.

Mrs. Irene Davis, am- bassadoress for the centen- nial year, was welcomed and introduced by Mr. Raeburn. Mrs. Davis was attired in pioneer costume and spoke to the pupils and audience on her visit to Hensall, England last summer and gave an in- teresting slide presentation, which she prepared of Hen- sall, England and York which were very much enjoyed by all. The pupils were asked to participate in "Pen Pal" selection with fellow pupils in London, England. Mrs. Davis was thanked by Eric Mansfield and then she collected the letters written by the pupils, to be forward- ed to their Pen Pals. Following the program light refreshments were served.
