Trinity Church Vestry Meeting Sorne very helpful suggestions for irn- The annual Vestry Meeting of Trinity plementing her ideas were contained in Anglican Church was held in the Parish Hall folders provided for members, and par- on January 29. The business was preceeded by an excellent pot luck supper and a filen covering Anglicans in Mission. In his report, Rev. Aubrey Bell stressed the need for more effort to be demonstrated in the community in order to strengthen and increase Anglican resources. He referred to a policy of `+visibility" which had been in- itiated last year, and hoped that this would be pursued more vigorously. The ladies, he - said, had demonstrated their willingness and enthusiasm, and he ad- ded, he hoped that the gentlemen would make their own attempts to serve as ad- vocates of the congregation. Referring to the challenges which con- tinue to confront the congregations of both Trinity and St. James, Rev. Bell cited the roof at Trinity which had required im- mediate steps to be undertaken to alleviate the problem. Addressing himself to the financial side it was noted that the books for 1985 balanced, but Rev. Bell emphasized the need to curtail reliance on trust funds. Tudor Wain, Rector's Warden, reported that the washroom project initiated in the last Vestry meeting was now almost com- plete. He thanked the congregation for their generous financial support and also Harr Hessel for his expertise and time which haci resulted in the achievement of the actu: ;l construction. Appr€ciation was also expressed for ti, individual efforts of Cathy Sauve, Chubb, Pat Reder, the Sunday school teachers, Wendy Hessel, Joan . Clufi (treasurer), Clara S5ott, Florence Scott, tht auditors, Ed Oddleifson and Ernie Hovey, and the board for their support, as well as Rev. Bell for his ministry and friendship. In his report as Peoples' Warden, Gordon Graham referred to the donation of carpen- try work by Mr. Hessel at Trinity, and to the new sign n he thanked at the many groups whose laborSt. James. In s tori tributed to the church, and the congregation for their support throughout the year. The report of the ACW noted that thiq< group had achieved its objectives for the year and emphasized the need for an in- creased membership. Debbie Wain was unable to be present but her husband gave a report on Guild ac- tivities on her behalf in which she thanked her colleagues for their continuing support, and drew special attention to the Irish Stew Supper to be held on St. Patrick's Day, March 17. Treasurer, Joan Cluff-presented the finan- cial statement for 1985 and the proposed budget for 1986. This generated discussion on ways and means of increasing income, and a recommendation was approved that $300 be set aside for six donations to meet re- - quests submitted during the course of a year. The major discussion of the evening then centered on a decision regarding alternative methods for completing the roof repairs. Opinions were expressed relative to com- parative costs, technical requirements (not yet fully assessed)` an'd the estimated life of the two methods. The subject of heritage was also raised but the Rector said that Diocesan policy had indicated that designa- tion of church buildings was not acceptable. The final vote went to the more expensive of the two alternatives, and it was also agreed that a fund to subsidize the work should be set up immediately. Tudor Wain agreed to continue for a fur- ther year as Rector's Warden and the following appointments were confirmed: peoples' warden - Charles Machen; board of management: Harold Beakhust, Gordon Graham, Ruby Fitzsimons, Alice Brandon, Terry Fitzsimons, John Pounder plus representatives of other official church groups, Rector's appointments - Ruth Mutzelberg, Harry Hessel, Lorna Merner and Ed Od- dleifson. Synod representatives - Ernie *Vey and Doris Hunter; Alternates - Harry Baker and Douglas Chubb and Vestry clerk, Clara Scott.

Buds on the forsythia bushes are very fat, and the willow trees are showing yellow in their branches: If you are bringing them in the house to cheer you, don't forget to hammer the ends, so the water you place them in may be more easily absorbed. It is really a very plesant way of pruning your bushes. If you haven't ordered your seeds yet, try peppercress. It is very quick growing, ...limes up easily indoors, and the super iarkets have it for sale. It gets lost in a salad. Grow your own. Garden Club The garden club is embarked on a new venture. They are planning a publication' of garden lore, culled from the accumulated knowledge of their members. If anyone has ?ny suggestions, get in touch with the iitorial committee, Dorothy . Hovey, eorge Chapman, Dr. Douglas Grant, i sabel and Harry Mitchell or Doris Hunter. Rec Committee The village has many committees. One which has functioned well these last few years, is the recreation committee. Joan Cluff has passed the chairmanship to Ruth Wise and in retiring, she thanks those who supported her while in office. If people would signify their willingness to assist at various events which may appeal to them, it would greatly help the commit- tee. Helpers are needed at the afternoon movies, for example, at the Monte Carlo night on February 22, which is such fun for everyone and an excellent fundraiser for the various projects undertaken, such as the new baseball diamonds. Thanks are also offered to the Hockey League and the Optimist Club for their donations of $150. to the Rec Committee hockey program and $150. to the figure skating project as well. Ed Fogerty was the winner of the $50. draw this month. Congratulations. Wi11.Be Missed The village is saddened by the death of two people. Condolences ••are offered to Russell Kerr, June and Carl Humphries at the passing of a wife, mother and. grand- mother. Mrs. Kerr will be remembered by many of us, from the time when she and Russell operated a store and lunch counter on the Main Street. It was a popular meeting place. Gordon Heard' was one of us too, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Emerson Heard, he married June Brandon and with his own family and June's he must have been related to at least half the village. He was a World War II veteran, and on returning from overseas, he formed the Heard Construction Company, operating out of Seaforth. Our sympathy to his wife and children, Linda and Donald, and to his brother George and sister Betty Kirkham. Heart Month It would be interesting to know how many in Town are walking around with pacemakers, or how many have had bypass operations. The knowledge and skills of the medical professioh have been helped by the research carried out by the funds, to which you are Turn to page 12 • RRSP 10% Registered Retire lent Savings Plan Now Paying on the Variable Rate Plan NO CH ,, RGES 1O½'FIXED RATE PLANS Now Available to COMPOUNDED i 1NUAt.I.Y Rates subiect to change without notice.'
