IN MEMORIAM
SKINN—In 1
oving memory,
of our dear mother and
grandmother Jean Skinn
who passed away March 24,
1984.
A heart of gold stopped
beating
Hard working hands at rest,
God broke our hearts to
prove to us
He only takes the best.
The leaves and flowers may
wither
The golden sun may set,
But the hearts that love so
dearly
Are the ones who won't
forget.
—Dearly missed by her
family.
SKINN—In loving memory
of a dear mother, and grand-
mother, Jean Skinn who
passed away one year ago,
March 24, 1984.
In all the world we shall not
,Find
A heart so wonderfully kind.
So soft a voice, so sweet a
smile,
An inspiration so worth
while.
A sympathy so sure, so deep
A love so beautiful to keep.
—Lovingly remembered
by Gerald, Roseanne and
Alison Skinn.
MINICK—In loving memory
of a dear daughter and sister
Jean Minick who passed
away March 19, 1984.
In tears we saw you sinking
and watched you fade
away, •
Our hearts were almost
broken, you fought so hard
to stay.
But when we saw you
sleeping, so peacefully,
free from pain
We could not wish you back,
to suffer so again.
—Lovingly remembered
by father, mother, brothers
and sisters. '

Afternoon unit meeting
based on Lenten theme
FORDWICH — A Lenten
theme formed the basis for
worship when the - afternoon
unit of the United Church
Women met . in the church
parlor. A pot luck luncheon
preceded the meeting, with
tables nicely decorated with
carnations.
The meeting was opened
by Miss M. McElwain, the
president, with a poem on
forgiveness, followed by a
hymn. The roll call, a verse
on forgiveness, was an-
swered by 16 members. It
was announced that' the
group goes to the -nursing
home in September, also to
St. Marys on April 22 for the
•spring rally and to the
Anglican Church on April 11.
Mrs. Harold Doig and Mrs.
Wray Cooper conducted the

prayer. Scripture was taken
from the 15th chapter of St.
Luke's Gospel. Mrs. Jack
Wilson sang a solo and the
meditation was entitled.
"Wha.t-Is Lent? What Does It
Mean To Me?"
Their study of forgiveness
began with the reading of
"Good Morning, God",
followed by prayer. They
told the members that
forgiveness is the difference
between war and peace, a
special kind of love. They
quoted the saying, "To err is
human, to forgive is divine",
and spoke about Christ
asking God, to forgive those
who crucified Him while He
hung on the cross. They cited
three important words for
the Christian to remember :
peace, love, forgive.
Citizens' group formed
over fire station issue
A citizens' group has been
established in Howick
Township to keep the tax-
payers informed about the
proposed satellite fire
station in Gorrie and to
"keep a close eye" on
Howick Township cowicil's,
actions.
Jim Robinson was elected
chairman of the organization
which calls itself "The
Concerned Taxpayers of
Howiek" and he says it is the
intention of the group to get
representation from all parts
of the township at their
meetings which will be held
once a week "for the first
three or four weeks."
The group was formed on
March 13 when about a dozen
citizens met at Mr. Robin-
son's home. ,Robert Clarkson
of Fordwich was elected
secretary and Doug King of
Fordwich, treasurer.
"We are not against the
station in Gorrie," Mr.
Robinson says. "We're
against high taxation. , We
are against the way this
council has done things.
They've had three years to
plan this thing and there's
still no plan. All we can see is.
a continual increase in
taxes."
In a prepared statement
for The' Banner,' Mr.
Robinson says, "Our group
is not against adequate fire
protection but the proposals
that council has presented
have a lot of unanswered
questions and have greatly
confused the issue.
"We intend to involve the
whole township in our group
so everyone can be informed
about what we are doing."
He says he welcomes
comments from the citizens
of Howick, regardless of
their position on the fire
station.
He says he will also be
making inquiries outside the
township for information on
funding and costs. In fact, he
and Doug Bunker of RR 2,
Harriston. have already met
with Murray Elston, MPP
for Ruron-Bruce..
Although Mr. Elston says
he will be looking into the
situation, he believes the
township council has the
right to make 'any decisions
about the fire station as it is
"fully in its mandate."
"I'm planning to call
Marvin (Bosetti, the clerk -
treasurer) and some of the
councillors to find out what
really is happening," - he
said. And if any requests are
made for funding at the
provincial level, I will do my
hest to be part 9f_ any
discussions and help „get
assistance for the townshrp."
