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 Lenten' worship. • They opened the worship with a noem. "I Heard' a Voice Which Said, 'Give Up'," followed by a hymn and prayer.

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." •6•®110.4160®fe • LET THE Wingham Advance -Times HELP YOU PHONE 357-2320 •••••••••-••••• Business and Professional Directory 8 Carol E.
