OUT OF TOWN CALL COLLECT. Psalms. The meditation was given by Mrs. Smith. She said just as our bodies require rest and food each day to restore physical strength, also one's soul needs to be restored with daily spiritual food through the reading of God's word and prayer. She said the psalmist pictures a table prepared with food — not food for the body, but food for the soul. To this prepared table, the Lord gives a gracious in- vitation to come and dine. No one is too poor, too rich, or too wretched to accept this invitation, everyone is welcome. Mrs. Glenn Underwood read the minutes of the May meeting. The spring thank - offering service will be held April 13 at 8:15 p.m. The guest speaker will be Mrs. W. A. Henderson of Lucknow. The topic, "tourism", was given by Mrs. Smith. The tourist industry is given priority status by most governments of developing countries, regardless of the wishes of the people of those countries. Tourism is treated as a major factor for economic development. Other aspects like justice and self-reliance are lost sight of and the result is a lopsided development which benefits only a few privileged..people. Tourism often is welcomed by small countries which have little they can export and they want the foreign money tourists bring. Mrs. Gordon Moir read a poem describing tourism in developing countries. A hymn was sung and the meeting closed with prayer. Lunch was served by the hostess. IIS YEAR'S TIMMY is Edward (Eddie) Jacobi of Niagara Falls, the 11 -year-old son of Alice and Don Jacobi.

You and your health Expectant parent classes popular By Marlene Price "The Huron County Health Unit invites you to attend the Expectant Parent Classes." This caption is seen four times a year in local news- papers, inviting expectant mothers and fathers to _ at- tend the series of six or seven classes to learn more about prenatal care, the birth of the baby, care of a newborn and family adstment. aa, The classes :are popular and areintended to make the expectant parent or parents more knowledgeable and therefore more comfortable with the upcoming birth. The classes are taught by a public health nurse and are divided into two sections. The first section, or early bird classes, consists of two classes dealing with anatomy and reproduction, development of the unborn child, effects of alcohol and smoking on the baby, and nutrition. These two classes are aimed at those early on in their pregnancies. The six regular classes are designed for those later in their pregnancies. Discus- • sions in those classes include labor and delivery, care of the mother and the new- born, feeding the baby and family adjustment. A tour of the hospital also is sched- uled. As well, the six regular classes include a time for relaxation exercises, muscle toning exercises and breathing, exercises based on the Lamaze method of prepared childbirth. Both the discussions and exercises aim to make the parent or parents feel comfortable and "not so scared about the whole. thing", as one parent put it, when asked why he was attending the class. During the series, parents get to know each other and can share their experiences and feelings about the pregnancy and upcoming birth. So if you are expecting a baby and want to learn not to feel so scared about the. whole thing, contact your local Health Unit office for dates and time.

The first three finishers will go on to race for Wingham at the invitational rally to be held starting at 1 0: 30 a.m. April 16 at the Wingham Public School. Kubkar racing, using handmade wooden cars powered by gravity, has quickly become a very popular sport for Cubs (and (heir parents!). The Wingham Advance -Times, March 16, 1983—Page 3 Town council shorts This area has untapped tourist potential and should be looking for ways to develop it, Councillor James A. Currie suggested last week during a meeting of the Wingham Town Council. Responding to a letter from the Ministry of Tourism and Recreation, Mr. Currie said he thinks we have a much better tourist capability here, especially in the winter time, than we give credit for, and it would be worth looking into. There is good snowmobil- ing and miles and miles of cross-country skiing, he commented. There is pretty good fishing in the summer too, Councillor Bruce Machan added, but Mr. Currie said he feels winter sports are most important here. "We really do have untapped potential." The matter was referred to the recreation board for its consideration. The letter from the ministry announced the creation of a Municipal Tourism Development Planning Program, designed to help communities produce practical strategies to assist tourist operators, develop- ers, investors, planners and municipalities in capitaliz- ing on the potential for tourism in an area. It noted that tourism is now Ontario's second-largest industry, and all signs point toward it being first by the year 2000. 0-0-0 Town council has ap- proved the purchase of a new police car to replace the unmarked cruiser, now four years old. The new car will come from John Cullen Chev-Olds at a cost, including trade-in, of $8,214 plus tax and licence. The police committee told council that while the pur- chase had not been tendered, the committee had invited bids from two local dealers, Cullen and Bridge Motors, and the Cullen bid was low by about $36. Council is continuing to re1ace . tiig 1114ed cruiser, which has most of, the wear and tear, every second year, while the unmarked car is now replaced every fourth year as a cost-saving measure. 0-0-0 Despite some rust reap- pearing on the steel girders and a slight case of mildew on the rafters androof decking, the Lockridge Memorial Arena has received a clean bill of health following an engineering survey of structural soundness. The inspection, which is ordered by the Ontario Ministry of Labor every five years, was carried out last month by Maitland Engin- eering. In a report to Recreation Director Rennie Alexander, Art Clark reported that the inspection uncovered no significant decrease in structural capability since the 1977 reconstruction project was completed. However it did point out potential problems -from excessive humidity in the building, including rusting and mildew, and recom- mended a reinspection in two years. Council was told the recreation board plans to purchase and install a heat pump in the arena to help control the humidity problem. 0-0-0 Town councillors were told the police committee held "an extremely productive meeting" with the owners of the Manor Hotel in Wingham and hopes to see problems there cleared up. There was a very frank discussion, and he thinks all sides better appreciate each other's position, Councillor James A. Currie told council. "I think we can expect to see ongoing improvements there." In response to a question, he said the letter he had requested from council last month calling for an in- vestigation of the hotel by the Liquor Control Board of Ontario was never sent. However council was told the liquor inspector had been notified and had visited the hotel shortly afterward. Mr. Currie told council the hotel's new owners had been advised by town police not to admit certain customers, but "chose not to take very sound advice" with the resulting problems. "There are 16 cut off there now," Councillor Bruce Machan reported, pronipting Mayor William Harris to inquire: "Are you one of them?" 0-0-0 Council plans to hold a meeting with the town planning board to discuss the new Ontario Planning Act and what it will mean to the board's status. A letter to the maybr from Board, Chairman Ian Moreland assured- council the board wants to cooperate with and assist council in planning matters, and an accompanying resolution invited council to appoint the board as its Planning Advisory Committee, bringing it into line with the terms of the new Act. However council decided not to take any action until it had met with the board to discuss the matter. Councillor James A. Currie said the letter shows initiative by the planning board paralleling council's desire to give more weight to the town's Official Plan. "What they're suggesting 0 here is really bang -on," he commented. "They're of- fering their help and we need their help." He later added that the town has previously made the mistake of not listening to its planning board, "and paid a very high price for it." 0-0-0 Council agreed to donate $375 to the Silver Circle Nursery . for ' mentally retarded youngsters this year, matching its donation last year. Reporting for day care, Deputy Reeve Patricia Bailey told council the program at the Silver Circle will run during the month of July this year for the first time. She also reported that the Jack Reavie Opportunity Workshop in Wingham has received a donation of $720 from the workers at Douglas Point. Each year the workers contribute money from their paycheques to a fund for worthwhile causes, she explained, and this year they chose to give it to the Rea vie Workshop.
