Don Beck taking as his topic the Beatitudes. The teaching of Jesus is threefold; what we should be, how we should give and how we should receive.. Assisting at the organ was Mrs. John Turkheim with the sixteen voice choir rendering the anthem, "One Day". Following the service, the congregation assembled downstairs in the Fellowship Hall for a pot -luck dinner and programme, the highlight of which was a film of Hensall and Chislehursh activities during the past year with background music provided by a taping of the cantata, "No greater Love" which the choir presented last Easter. This film was produced by Mike Beck. At the Annual Meeting which followed all reports were accepted by the congregation. +++ All women of the com- M munity are invited to the World of Prayer to be held in Carmel Presbyterian Church • CLEARANCE All Kits 40% OFF Tapestry Wool 10.% OFF Sayene 20%0FF FIBERS YARNS AND CRAFT SUPPLIES • 43 WEST ST.

Tuckersmith Township Council may face a court case over a $285 plumbing repair bill it issued to Harvey Hammond of Brucefield 011 a Vanastra property owned by his wife. At Tuesday night's council meeting Hammond charged that the cost of repairing two cracked shut-off valves rested with the township as it owns the valves. "Each property owner buys a shut-off valve once when he purchases . his property and like the (water) meter it gets turned over to the Ministry of the Environment," Ham- mond said. Most shut-off valves in new communities are located on town property, and while shut-off valves in Vanastra are located on the property of each homeowner, its location does not mean it belongs to the propery owner, .Ham- mond said. "If you say I am respon- sible for repairing the valves, then I must own them, and I can turn the water on or off and can't be billed by the Ministry of the Environment for any water bills I get by doing so," Hammond said. "I've talked to my lawyer and I won't pay the bill and I'm ready to take the council to court over it," he said. Council decided to postpone settling the matter until its April 5 meeting to allow them Marquis's garden at different seasons to see her Iris, red geraniums and brilliant beds of scarlet cockscomb and marigold. We took in all the Clinton flower shows which were held - two in June, two in August and the Junior Gardeners' first bulb show. The tours took us to the spring show at O'Keefe centre in 1973; to Stone's dahlia farm in 1975; the rose gardens in Hamilton and Dundern Castle in 1976, as well as our own local tours and our own woodsy emblem "Clintonia". We had added enjoyment in listening to a lively piano court case to confer with their lawyer. Don McLean of the Ministry of the Environment, who was present for counci's discussion with Hammond, will also investigate charges by Hammond that the work done on the plumbing in; Vanastra is an .exhibition poor workmanship. "The water meters jut out from -the sides of the houses leaving enough space so that kids . can swing on them," Hammond spid. "The repair work is very poor - more the work of a real amateur. I don't blame some of the people refusing to let him (the workman) in to work on their plumbing with the kind of work he does," he said. Stanley Twp.

McLean has inspected some of the complaints and said the' meter fixtures did not meet with,meter regulations and agred with Hammond's charges that it was an example of poor work- manship. In other business, council approved a gravel tender submitted by Sandy Con- struction of Goderich for $27,915. The other tender submitted by Jennison Construction of Grand Bend was for $33,917. A tender for spraying weeds along the side of the township's roads was also accepted and approved from Fred Harburn of Staffa.
