Red carnations cen- tred the table which was tastefully decorated with Valentine motifs to celebrate. the occasion: Several club members accentuated the color scheme by wearing bright red costumes. The party spirit seemed to infect the cards as the bridge scores were unusually high. Dawna won the highest score (over 8;000) but deferred like a goad hostess to Jess Blairwho was not far behind. Gwen Pemberton was thus elevated to second place and Grace Fraser was low. Prizes were carnations from the centrepiece. A collection was taken up in aid of the Clinton Hospital Auxiliary which the hostesses were pleased to report amounted to $63.50. • Anglican Ladies .buy drapes Trinity Church Ladies Guild met Tuesday, February 12 at the home of Maude Weston with 12 members present.

Gerry Ginndeclares war Gerry Ginn, a former reeve of Goderich Township and member of the Goderich Housing Action Committee, has told Goderich town council "now that war has been declared I must sever all my diplomatic relations with such -a council. My time will be spent defending the boundaries of my township." Mr. Ginn's resignation from the housing com- mittee' came last week after he told the town council that he was hot happy with Goderich's proposal to annex 1,145 acres of township land south of the town Iimits, The council's decision to study the arl37exation of the land comes after a two years of discussion between the two municipalities in which 'they have been trying to come up with some means of sharing the cost of installing $11.2 million worth of water mains and sanitary and storm sewers. Mr. Ginn told the Goderich council that it was a "sad situation" that after the township's share of a proposed senior citizen housing project was paid and "before one brick has 'been laid" that action hag— been started to take the assessment base from the - township "with which they (the township) are to raise their share." Although Mr. Ginn told Goderich council that the seniors housing project, which - is 'to be built on West Street in Goderich, was his "pet project" and was both needed and wanted, he said that all his efforts were "in vain" as a result of the town council's recent decision to annex the land rather than sell the services. Mr. Ginn told council that in serving on the housing action committee and in other areas he had "tried to promote what considered to be a co- operative effort between the townships and the �---- "It has been a learning experience however," said Mr. Ginn, in the letter. "I have learned that when, dealing ,with some members of your council you should have three hands, -one to shake hands with, one to hold onto your wallet and one for the knife in your back." Goderich town coun- cillor Elsa Haydon, who objected to the• an- nexation study, suggested that council open - an annexation file and place Mr. Ginn's letter in it "as the first casualty." -••However, her suggestion was turned down. Goderich council's unexpected decision to look at annexation of the land was based on their lack of interest in developing a small portion of the 1,145 acres of raw land. Rather than service land bit by bit, council indicated they would prefer to sell all of it or none of it. The 'decision was made after council went behind closed doors to discuss the possible sale of water, sewage and storm sewer services to the Goderich township. The sale of those services' - was designed to allow the development of A 96 lot subdivision planned by Conklin Lumber Co. Council decided that rather than install ser- vices gradually to allow the Conklin subdivision to hook into sewers and water lines, it would look Turn to page 11 and and about the vi Mrs. Thelma Bye and Mrs..
