STAFF POLL - In the Grand Bend Legion residents cast their ballots last Tues- day. Shown are Gene Grenier, John and Betty Hoyles, Rita Malovic and PC chair- man Bob Deane. By Jack Riddell MPP Liberal Leader David Peterson has yet once again called upon the Provincial Government to establish an Emergency Relief and Disaster Fund. The extensive damage suf- fered by communities in Lon- don, as a result of the tornado in the area on Sunday. September 2. has dramatical- ly highlighted the need for such a fund, •which could be used to provide assistance to families and individuals. to be used for the repair of damage to property, as well as mak- ing adequate short-term pro- vision for people who are the victims of a natural disaster. Cutting a wide swathe through a ten -block area of South London. the tornado sent more than 30 people, to hospital, and caused damage ranging from demolished roofs and walls to broken win- dows in more than 600 homes and businesses. While the full extent of the damage suffered in this most recent natural disaster is not yet known, Initial estimates are in the region of $-t-$:, million. At this point in time. the Ci- ty of London has not yet deter- mined whether to initiate the complicated formal request for financial assistance from t CPI Piiitlp Emergency. relief the provincial government. '('hat decision. as is the case for all municipalities. will be based on the total cost of damages, existing municipal resources and the problems of creating a bureaucracy to manage the relief program. This is of course, an addi- tional reason to consider the creation of an emergency fund to cover such contingencies. The Ontario Liberal Party does not believe that the pro- vince's policy of matching funds raised by the municipalities in times of disaster - after special resolu- tions have been passed and special arguments made - is good enough- Local govern- ment should not have to pay for the damage in such situations. We have for a long time ad- vocated the establishment of an emergency fund. In 1977 Liberal House Leader Robert Nixon c Brant -Oxford - Norfolk) introduced a resolu- tion in the Ontario Legislature which provided for a consis- tent policy by the government on the types of support which would he made available to communities caught in disastrous natural cir- cumstances, rather than leav- ing crucial assistance to the generosity of the government of the day to decide. Following the extensive damage suffered by many ()Mario communities in May 1983. our Party once again ex- pressed the belief that an emergency relief fund should be established to provide necessary loan and grant assistance to individuals and P VALUE PRICED 9 Plymouth Volare 2 dr. 6 cylinder.

We proposed that such assistance he payable through municipalities or by the Ministry -of Northern Af- fairs in the unorganized parts of the province. On several occasions, we have called for a clearly understood designation pro- cedure followed by a clear allocation of funds which can be in some kind of revolving account so that the people who are subject to these natural disasters know they are going to get a certain degree of assistance without begging for it. It was sug- gested that the basic payment should originally come from Wintario resources. Municipalities designated disaster areas could call for aid from such a fund to repair the kinds of damage which would be checked carefully by the officials of the Ministry, particularly with the assistance of the Minister of Agriculture and Food. and that payments be made on that basis. As Robert Nixon pointed out during debate in the On- tario Legislature on October 15, 1979. Ontarians are ac- customed to seeing what hap- pens in the United States, where a flood or windstorm or other natural disaster usual- ly brings about an almost im- mediate response from the governor of the state - and in certain circumstances a response from the President himself - with the designation of a disaster area, which means immediately that specific help by way of per- sonnel and dollars is expected and forthcoming. iI is not necessary to present special resolutions or special arguments, or to be "grateful" for assistance which is forthcoming APOLOGY A recent article, pertaining to the discussion of the condi tion of the beach at Grand Bend, made reference to a comment regarding the work- ing habits of a 14 -year-old who was identified only as "Scott" Unfortunately. the reference called into question the working habits of all youths with that name and The Times -Advocate apologizes for having printed such inappropriate reference when the identity of the per- son in question could have been misconstrued to include several people with that name in the community. To all "Scotts" we extend our sincere apology for any embarrassment or inconve hence the report mai ha yr caused them Crediton East By MRS.

Resident tires of giving directions Septeu bei 12, Pogo Council g•t request for signs At the regular council meeting Friday night, all members of council were pre- sent along with several members from the South Beach Association. Delegations were Tom Pro- ut from Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority, and Jean Gibson, Lake Road. Jean Gibson approached council to indicate the need for a new sign on River Road. The sign should be erected on Highway 21 at the corner of River Road, directing traffic to the boat ramp. She complained of being bothered by numerous vehicles pulling boats of all sizes down Lake Road, losing their way and having great difficulty turning around in the confined area. The end of Lake Road is an area for parking to South Beach, a dead-end street and with the west gate to Southcott Pines closed, there is even less space. Gibson remarked that she directs tourists first to the Reeve's home across the street and then some down Neaman Drive one way to River Road. All councillors agreed that a larger more visible sign 'TO BOAT RAMP" should be made. Continuing on the other matter, Gibson requested that a second sign be installed at the first entrance (east) to Southcott Pines. People directed to Lakeshore, arrive at the closed gate and then seek directions from where else. the closest home, which happens to be the Gibson's. When the S.P. guard is gone. leaving no information for guests. Gibson notes that the west gate remains closed. Reeve Bob Sharen said that back in '75 the Pines would open the gate whenever the guard left. Councillor Dennis Snider asked. "Is it legal to close the gate?" Sharen replied that it isn't. Council will send a letter to the S.P. Association re- questing a new entrance sign for the Brewster gate, in full view of Lake Road as the sign on the Lakeshore entrance just reads Welcome to the Pinery Heritage. Gibson asked. as a follow- up to a meeting last week, that the public be made fully aware of all important har- bour . and other meetings, when it colle'e'ns local proper- ty owners. She was very con- cerned that all meetings were kept in camera, about the works going on at the River Road building. Sharen told her that council was also by-passed and should have been informed as they have the final say in any harbour motion. In the future, meetings are to be announc- ed publicly. In other business, Tom Pro- ut, from the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority, in- formed council that a section of the streambank, directly behind the new municipal building, has been cut out. He requests council to have it built up two and a half feet, to prevent any serious flooding under the regional storm flood conditions. A special meeting was call- ed to discuss the water pro- blems that Wm. Jennison, On- tario St., was having on his property. The county engineer, Don Derrick, from MOE, checked the matter out and advised that the blockage is not in the municipality's drain. The clerk has advised the property owners benefitting from the drain, that they will have to pay the costs of digg- ing a hole by the P.U.C. office, to find other possible causes of the flooding. Catholic News The celebrant for the weekend masses was Father VanZuphthen, from St. Peter's Seminary, London. His sermon dealt with the topic of love and how like the dollar, the concept of love to- day has been devalued. The true nature of love is defined in 1 Corinthians 13 where Jesu's emphasized love as the central theme of the New Testament. All of us have the ability to love, even though it is risky by making us vulnerable. Even though ear- thly things can block our love for God, we, today. can pray for the gift, of love to be reflected in our service to God and our fellow man. The CWL made $998.00 in ticket money from the raffle. Thanks to Toni Vandenberk andenberk and all who helped with the tickets. There will be a CWL executive meeting on Thurs- day. September 13 and a general meeting on the 17th at 8:30 p.m. in the Alhambra Hall. Lunch group F. This past Sunday. the pastoral visit of Pope John Paul I1 to Canada began. Please keep his safety in your pray rs. There are still a few candles left at the back of the church, as a .souvenir of his holiness' visit to our country. Sunday School Starts As the new season starts for the Grand Bend United Church Sunday School. a large number of children were out Sunday morning. In Rev. Peebles' children's story, he told them the story about some boys attending missionary school. where they learned honesty and other teachings. Robert and Cathy Southcott welcomed everyone at the door. The choir anthem was "The Bible Stands". Rev. Peebles' message was entitled "You're Out'" With the scriptures from Luke 12: 13 -end, he said when Chris- tians and the congregation play it safe, they back away from challenges. That is when the Spirit of the universe says does not reach out dies. The sacrament of baptism was held when Amanda Christine, daughter of John and Linda Wuerth, was bap- tised. Clerk of session, Mrs. Adams, presented the parents with a certificate of baptism. Bible Mountaineers I During Sunday school at the Church of God, Doug Camp- bell, Lori Steckle, and 'Todd (tumble were promoted to Youth 11 class. Many receiv- ed their cross and crown pins, as an indication of faithful attendance. In the morning service, teachers of the Sunday school were dedieated. Leota Snyder sang "Living for Jesus" Pastor Campbell spoke on the teaching Ministry of the Church. First, he gave a biblical basis for the teaching ministry. Then he finished with the characteristics of a teacher now. Bible Mountaineers will begin on Wednesday. September 12 at 7:00 p.m. in the Church of God.
