Following the meeting it was reported that council had discussed a variety of legal matters with the lawyer, but no motions were passed as a result of the session. 0-0-0 Council planned a special meeting in committee -of -the - whole with MPP Murray Elston last Friday to get some background on the concept of a police com- mission. Originally this was scheduled as a committee meeting, but councillors decided to make it a special council meeting instead. Council members get paid an additional $42 each for attending special meetings of gamed; they are not paid for attending committee meetings. This will have been the eighth special meeting of council held so far this term; only nine were budgeted for the whole year, ending this November. Another special meeting has been set for early August to draw up a job description for a new cemetery employee. 0-0-0 Council briefly reviewed its auditor's report for 1982 at the meeting. Councillor Tom Miller noted that taxes receivable were up by about $50,000 from 1981 to more than $324,000. He also pointed out that the town's financial reserves had been increased from less than $86,000 in 1981 to more than $166,000 last year. He said it is up to council to decide what is a proper level for the reserves. aco Mr. Miller also said the auditor had expressed conceri!`that council does not get an annual budget for waterworks, which is ad- ministered by the Public Utilities Commission but technically is owned by the town, as well as about the low level of waterworks reserves. Mayor William Harris, who sits on the PUC, ex- plained the reserves were depleted by repairs to the water standpipe, but should begin to accumulate again. "Will they provide us with a budget next year?" Mr. Miller inquired. "Well, I imagine they should, yes," Mr. Harris responded. Councillor James A. Currie said the auditor praised the clerk's office for the quality of its financial records, and Mr. Harris noted this has helped to reduce the audit bill. Chartered accountant Barry Reid of Wingham was reappointed town auditor for 1983. 0-0-0 Council has decided to revert to a system whereby committee chairmen or their representatives must ap- prove bills before they are paid, rather than ratifying all the expenditures as a group once a month. The question arose over a $1,200 expenditure by the fire department which council was told had not been authorized by the fire committee. The matter was not pursued in detail, though council was told the ex- penditure had been for ex- trication equipment. However council decided that from now on accounts should not be paid until they have been checked and ncil f LL". rts approved by the appropriate committee head. Town council has given second reading to both its new, comprehensive parking bylaw and the bicycle bylaw. There were some questions raised about both bylaws at the meeting, so third readings were deferred until next month. Councillor Bruce Machan raised some questions about parking restrictions, and r Deputy Reeve Patricia Bailey asked whether bicycles could be allowed on Josephine Street sidewalks outside the business section, particularly the stretch along the highway running north across the river. Councillor James A. Currie, police committee chairman, said the com- mittee will look at the points raised and bring recom- mendations back to council. MRS.

Many came long distances to worship with parents and friends. The centre front pews were reserved for the teach- ers and the primary pupils. Each Sunday School attend- ant wore a pansy corsage. The junior choir of ap- proximately 20 voices en- tered the sanctuary to the processional hymn, accom- panied by the organist, Mrs. George Procter, and pianist, Mrs. Howard Morton. Scrip- ture readings were given by Carol Hopper and Heather Morton. Clifford Coultas presented the attendance awards for Knox United Sunday School: First year, Karen Marks, Matthew Campbell; Second year, Jayne Vin- cent, Colin Campbell, Daryl Marks, Andrew Campbell, Chris Campbell; Third year, ian Morton, Heather Morton, Dean Vin- cent; Fourth year, Mark Coul- tes, Tim Coultes; Seventh year, Jennifer Procter; eighth year, Katherine Procter; 11th year, Ruth Higgins, Alison Coultes; 12th year, Donna Higgins. William A. Coultes, super- intendent, conducted the service, assisted by Rev. John G. Roberts. The choir sang anthems, with organ accompaniment. Mr. Coultes welcomed all those present and expressed his thanks to all who helped with the service and barbe- cue. The offering was re- ceived by Alison Coultes, Donna Higgins, Sheila An- derson and Melanie Scott. Mrs. William Coultes in- troduced the guest speaker, The Rev. Murray Barent, who is director of the Pearce -Williams Training Center at Dutton. Rev. Barnet chose as his theme of his message "A Gift from God", which was introduced by using a wrapped gift box which opened entirely to become a cross with the words "Joy, Peace, Faith, Life and Love", printed on the various sections. "Joy" is like a flashlight which requires batteries for energy and light; but if covered by falsehoods, mis- trust or disobedience can be totally obliterated. Jesus comes as the gift of joy to others and ourselves. "Peace" identifies with each person making himself a "Child of God". Jesus gives inner joy and peace. "Life" was exemplified by a circle of crosses of differ- ent colors, with kneeling per- sons of different denomina- tions and countries joining hands. "Paith" stands for eternal life, a part of Jesus as was shown by a lighted candle. To conclude, the speaker used, a ball of string to illus- trate how all are centre in Jesus and must be on the continuous string of life to receive the gift of God in joy, peace life and faith. Robert Grasby thanked Rev. Barnet for his inspiring message and hymns were sung. The service concluded with the benediction sung by the choir. Following the service a delicious chicken barbecue was enjoyed.
