size changes that had been made in the.
subdivision.
He wanted council to see the changes
before he took the revised . plan to
centennial...
charges and 75 congregations within
the boundaries of the two counties.
The descendents of the original
founders, including the members
received through church unions, from.
the Huron Tract Area, who assisted in
making this area so productive, are
still visab'le and active members at this
time, when the church enters its second
century of service. With the addition of
many members over the 100 years,
originating from all parts of Ontario
and Canada, working together, the
church will continue on its -progressive
pilgrimage, during the years ahead.,
The aftermath of holidays is hard
to accept.
After an enjoyable two weeks in
the supposedly sunny Okanagan
Valley in... B.C. (it actually rained
every day) I'm now back in Ontario
assessing the damages of my trip.
I'm still recovering from a case of
the sentimental blues after the trip.
Saying goodbye to my relatives and
my best friend, that I was visiting
with all the new people I met and the
great times we had, was a wet -eyed
occasion. After that, it has been hard
adjusting back into the routine and
way of life at home.
Besides the sad and teary
farewells I'm still contending with
jet lag and a trip, including stop
overs that took my travelling par-
tner and I over 15 hours. Standing in.
the rain for two weeks in the sunny
Okanagan has given me a cold and
with the flight my. ears are still
popping. '
I may get over those physical
problems in a few days, but I doubt
that I'll recover quite as easily from
the five pounds I put on with my
excessive drinking and eating.
,As well I'll'probably never bring
my bank balance back up to par.
Although I had a strict budget set for
my two week trip, my newly
acquired Chargex card got the best
of me.
As well, I intentionally forgot that
when I would return to Ontario my
mail box would be full of over due
bills and my desk would be littered
with the ones I forgot to pay before I
left on holidays.
As well as unpacking my war-
drobe and doing a massive washing,
my apartment looks like a small
cyclone went through it. I had
packed in a hurry and any clothes I
didn't take ended up on my bedroom
floor.
Although I had a friend attending
to my plants while I was away, by
the looks of them now they obviously
missed mother's care and attention.
Or maybe mother just forgot how
bad they looked even before she left.
I can't type anymore and along
with re -learning that, I have to ease
myself brick into the office routine
-and read the past two weeks papers'
to catch up on all the news.
I guess that's all part of the joy of
holidays, but honestly I'm glad they
only come once a''year.

Toronto. In the one section of the
proposed subdivision he had previously
received council's approval for 14 lots
but he said they (the planners) had
decided the lots were too narrow and
too deep.
Mr. Doig said they had decided it was
better to go to the original 82 foot
frontage with a back of 200 feet instead
of 60 foot frontage with a 264 foot
backing. Instead of the original 14 lots
there would now be 12 to give people
more space, Mr. Doig said.
In other business, Clerk Jack
MacLachlan told the councillors there
had been some concern over whether
the township can supply enough water
to operate a fire protection sprinkler
system in the new building of Bayfield
Boats, Vanastra.
He said the system had been tested
and produced 1500 gallons at 35 pounds
pressure when the requirement would
be 1500 gallons per minute at 100
pounds pressure.'
A representative of the sprinkler
company told them they would either
have t� bring in a water line which
would boost pressure up to 100 pounds
or come up with some modification of
what would have to be done back at the
• water plant.
"The problem is goingto boil down to
what rate we want to go and who's
going to pay the costs," Mr.
MacLachlan said.
He added that Mark Bell from the
ministry of the environment office in
London was going to come to a meeting ,
and discuss the alternatives. The
ministry operates the water system in
Vanastra.
Councillor Robert Drummond said,
"Until we get some figures, we can't do
much."
Mr. MacLachlan said the• biggest
hurdle at the present time was trying to
get the problem solved and that he was
only making them aware of it.
Harry Dougall had requested that
there be some work done on the Geiger
drain at Lot 2, Concession 3 and council
indicated that proper proceedings for a
municipal drain should be started.
In other drainage business, deputy -
reeve Robert Bell told council that a
worker digging out the Jackson drain
had found about 50 cracked tile while
digging with his backhoe. The operator
indicated he would be willing to do the
digging for the township if they would
pay for the new tiles to be put in and
council agreed.
Varna host Holmesville, Brucefield women
By Mary Chessell •
Members of
Holmesville and
Brucefield United Church
Women were guests of
the Varna group last
Thursday evening to hear
the 'guest speaker, Mrs.
Marion Lawrence. Her
home is at Monetville, but
she and her husband
Hubert are residing
temoorarilv in
Dungannon where he is
the Mennonite pastor
while their minister
furthers his education.
Mrs. Lawrence's son is
a linguist with the
Wycliffe Bible tran-
slators in Papua, New
Guinea. She told how
Marshall and his twin
sister Gaye had always
been interested in
spiritual things, and at
the age of 18 they both
dedicated their lives to
the Lord. Gaye is in
Africa, where they also
spent six weeks in the fall
of 1976, before going on to
New Guinea.
Marshall and his wife
Helen, who is a registered
nurse, work among the
Oksapmin people in the
mountainous interior,
where each tribe has its
own language. There are
a thousand languages
which have never been
put in writing. This type
of work _requires deep
concent`ationt, and is
quite exhausting, so
periodically they ' move
from the tribe to their
home in Ukarumpa,
where their four children
can attend school.
All teachers are unpaid
volunteers, as the whole
village is made up of
translators who depend
on the offerings of in-
terested people for their
expenses.
The Oksapm.in people
are very primitive, but
are changing some since
the missionaries arrived.
They work very hard in
their vegetable fields,
with little in the way of
recreation. A man
decorates himself by
wearing a pig's tusk
through his nose, and
girls may have patterns
dyed on their faces. Their
only crafts are string
bags (called billens)
intricately worked from
shreds of bark, and walls -
made by splitting and
flattening branches of the
pit -pit tree, , and
arranging them in lovely
designs. Mrs,. Lawrence
showed excellent pic-
tures,, and is a very en-
terta:iniing•s_peaker. A
The program com-
mittee of Mildred McAsh,
Gwynne Roberts, Elaine
Stephenson, Nora Head
and Lorna Johnston
presented a devotional on
"The Lord is My
Shepherd", and served a
delicious lunch.

a shower for Peggy
Kufner of London, bride -
elect of Ron Keys, on
Friday evening. About 40
neighbours and relatives
attended.
The guests made up a
book "Advice to the
N.ewlywe'ds" to help get
them off to a good start.
Several contests were
enjoyed, with Brenda
Dowson winning the
Slogan Contest.
Marg Hayter knew the
names of the most tunes,
and Lori Hayter won the
Clothespin Contest.
Marjorie Hayter com-
posed and read an ad-
dress to the bride, and
she was presented with
many lovely gifts.
We hope Mrs. Geo.
Reid, who has been
confined to Clinton
Hospital since a week ago
Tuesday, will soon be
well again.
A very nasty flu is
making its rounds. Little
Jason Hayter was in
hospital ,for a couple of
days last week with it.
Gerald and Marg
Hayter and Bob and
_Sandy 'Hayter en-
tertained 'a number df
their friends and neigh-
bours at a steak barbecue
on Saturday night.
Tanya Postill had her
tonsils removed a couple
of weeks ago, and was
soon feeling fine again.
Pat and Jacquie Taylor
and Barbara and Lori
Consitt attended a shower
for their cousin's fiancee,
Linda Glenn of Toronto,
which was held at the
Pizza Patio in Goderich
on Sunday.
Varna and Dashwood
have each won a game in
their three out of five slo-
pitch series (see
Recreation news).
Spectators are turning
out in goodly numbers for
these games. The third
game was scheduled for
Tuesday; they'll play in
Dashwood Friday night,
an$ ° if "-a' fifth game is
necessary, it will be in
Varna on Sunday af-
ternoon.
This might be a good
time to express the
thanks of the people of the
Varna community to the
township Recreation
Committee for their
leadership in providing so
many activities. They put
a lot of work into it, and
the response from the
residents has been pretty
good. Shirley Hill is to be
commended, too, for
seeing that meetings and
activities are reported in
the press.
