On Tuesday, they were summoned to a fire in an apartment beside the Golden Oak Motel, which resulted mainly in major smoke damage. Wednesday, during the mini -tornado, they rushed to a lightning fire in the Van- Dongen Subdivision where a hydro pole caught a falling tree and ignited. Captain Don Flear phoned Ontario Hydro and the O.P.P. waited at the scene to warn any traffic. Answering to a silent alarm at the S.P. Englert residence on Lakeshore in Southcott Pines on Friday, a fireman summoned Ontario Hydro to repair shorting wires spark- ing nearby trees, as a result of lightning. Saturday morning at 10:27, the fire brigade rushed three miles north of the Bend, to ex- tinguish a car on fire on Highway 21. New Members Welcomed The Property Lovers Association held their mon- thly meeting in the municipal building on Saturday, with a good attendance. Joe Nader, an active member of the group, was presented with a mini -trophy for securing the most new members. He welcomes 18 new people to the association. Mrs. Janet Smolders, plan- ner with the County of Lamb - ton, was the guest speaker. She gave a very informative outline of just what her job en- tails each day. As well as at- tending monthly planning meetings in Grand Bend, Point Edward, Alvinston and Dawn Township, she is in- volved in matters of zoning by-laws, site plan agreements, building permit regulations, and many more. Smolder explained that if a resident disagrees with a site plan (very, very common in Grand Bend), she is able to help with perhaps a minor variance. In the question period following her address, Smolders explained that a minor variance is used to help people obtain changes in the official plan before they get a building permit. Dr. W. Gerald and Bruce Woodley asked Mrs. Smolders, if she could get a definite ruling on beachfront ownership. It is understood that no one can own property free from the vegetation line to the water's edge. Members stated that some deeds outline properties right to the water. Which is correct? She will let them know. The next meeting will be on September 29 at 7:00 p.m. President Nan Freele, reminded members of the OMB hearing, on October 25 at 10:00 a.m., about the park- ing lot. Branch 498 Legion There were about 75 to 100 people out to the barn dance held on Saturday, August 25 at the Legion. Music supplied by Marion Horner and Willis Desjardine was enjoyed by all. The legion provided lunch and thanks go to those who decorated and made this oc- cassion a success. ilalina Crawford and Murray Given grant for project Agriculture Minister Ralph Ferguson, MP for Lambton Middlesex in the last Parlia- ment, announced today on behalf of Employment and Immigration Minister John Roberts that the Corporation of the Village of Grand Bend, will receive $13,887 to up- grade and improve nature trails and facilities in Pinery and Ipperwash Parks. "Since Grand Bend is one of Ontario's largest Keach resorts, and employment in the area is so closely tied to the summer months," Mr Ferguson said, " this project, which will help to revitalize two of our most important local tourist resources, is a good example of the creative use of government funds." Section 38 of the l'nemploy- ment Insurance Act provides for the use of 111 funds to sup- port activities which en- courage economic recovery or regional development, or which improve productivity. In addition. Ul claimants will be able to use their skills while they are unemployed. A total of 45 work weeks will he shared by three 111 claimants under this job crea- tion project The Canada Employment and Immigra- tion Commission will pay each worker up to $315 from (1I funds, while money pro- vided by the Corporation of the Village of Grand Bend will raise the worker's pay to prevailing rates and cover any overhead or ad- ministrative costs. Bartlett won the door prizes. Coming events: A general meeting will be held on Thurs- day, September 6 at 8:30 p.m. in the Legion. Watch for the starting dates for mixed darts and euchre.

Apparently one councillor forgot to remind the Iifeguards to do so. Nan Freele, PLA president, thought that the old beach cleaner did a remarkably good job when tried out last week, leaving at least four deep inches of clean sand. Town foreman, Jack Stanlake, had toquit after two hours as the machine broke down in the damp conditions, and the early morning is when the beach has to be cleaned. Leo Ducharme has been summoned by Joe Nader to repair the old cleaner and he (Nader) will pay the bill. Mae Piggott remarked to council that she noted "a young kid called Scott picking up absolutely nothing during his one and a half hours there, and that he should move his butt if he was being paid". Council will await the out- come of the repair work, before deciding on what to do about future beach conditions. In other business, council voted unanimously to designate September 16 to 22 as Legion week in Grand Bend, on Legion president Keith Crawford's request. The Coast Guard requested council to remove the swim- ming restriction signs from their standards on the piers. Members were undecided as to where they could be plac- ed. The lifeguards wish to have the chair on south beach removed and placed on the north Keach in the future. The South Beach Association re- quested a meeting with all council members on Friday, August 31 at 8:15 p.m. in the municipal building to discuss their concerns south of the pier. The next regular council meeting is rescheduled for Thursday, September 6 due to the September 4 Election Day. -i1;1 By ANNE WALPER Bonnie Hotson, Heather Love, Susan Hayter and Lin- da Allister attended the 4H Horticulture Club Acheive- ment program at Central Huron Secondary School, Clinton, August 21.
