Beginning the season, with a little over $3,000 in deficit the committee has projected a budget of a little over $21,000 for 1984. Funds for harbour dredg- ing, the new harbour building and summer staff came last year from the federal govern- ment. The total has been estimated at over $200,000. Recently, the village agreed to finance the pur- chase of the Manore inven- tory and assume the federal lease on the property near land -side of the beginning of the South -pier. Harbour staff will operate fuel pumps and organize docking in that area. This year, also, .hart our staff will be in charge of col- lecting fees from operators of small craft being launched from River Road. Repairs and extension to the small - boats ramp have cost in the neighborhood of $5,000. Katimavik persons. will be employed as relief personnel for some of the projects. Seven of the nine harbour - committee members have waived committee -pay honorariums in favour of . secretarial pay. It was decided at the meeting to accept a proposal s from Imperial Oil for the fuel j at the pumps. The consensus s of the committee was to keep the price of fuel in line with t other fuel sources in the area. t • committee chairman calls for close financial scrutlny Rates for tourist docking beiy matrimony.

Sut- ton, Dr. Fox, of Huron Col- lege, took the service at the Anglican Church, Sunday. The subject of his sermon was taken from Luke 24, wherein Jesus appeared to two of His disciples, but they did not recognize Him until he took bread, blessed and broke it, giving it to them. We, like the disciples, so often do not recognize Christ's presence with us. Dr. Fox pointed out that often Christ's presence may become apparent to us through some unexpected moments of Love and friendship. Mr. and Mrs. Larry Marsh welcomed the congregation, while Mr. and Mrs. Ian Chisholm served refreshments after the service. Church of God Several carloads of women attended the `Ladies Day Apart' Saturday at the coun- try club in' New Dundee. Guest speaker was Mrs. Judy Foster who has worked with emotionally disturbed children. She spoke on self- worth. The Sunday school con- tinued their cruise, with Freckles bringing a friend 'Gopher'. In the morning sermon Pastor Campbell continued his message on Peter. This week he told how Peter responded to Christ's call by following Him. Glenda Des- jardine sang '0 What Love'. To begin Family Week, the evening service was one of sharing. Some read poems, quoted scriptures, sang and played instruments including the harmonica. Abiding Joy Pat and Elgin Hendrick were door greeters Sunday at the United Church. Rev. Peebles took his text from 1 mans 8:18-28, when he claimed that the Kingdom of God is not meat and drink but righteousness, peace and joy. A right relationship with God brings peace, every Chris- tian's goal has peace as the centre of life. Joy is a solid spiritual hap- piness, a free gift from God. Assistant organist, Theresa Hannon, led the choir in "I Lay My Sins on Jesus." The children's story was about the Bible, when years ago it was written on scrolls in Greek. In 1425, a man translated it by hand and in 1523, the first Bible was printed. Many years ago, Bibles were burned and many people gave their lives for reading and printing them. As the children left the loft, everyone sang the BIBLE song. Village Flea Market Saturdays, May 26 to September 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. Buyers and Vendors welcome. Phone 238-2396 or 238-2407.
