Upcoming Meeting at Resort 'Win Provide Estimates of Water Costs A meeting between Ontario Water Resources Commission officials and the couneils of Stephen, Bosanquet and Grand Bend is expected in Grand Bend, possibly within two weeks. Reeve Stewart Webb, Grand Bend, said members of his coun- cil, who met with OWRC offi- cials in Toronto last week un- derstood that tentative prices to the three municipalities for water from the Lake Huron Pipeline would be available at the upcoming meeting, All preliminary ground work on the project has been com- pleted and presented to the OWRC. Reeve Webb also said the vil- lage of Grand Bend is "reason ably sure" its application far a .Municipal Assistance Loan will be accepted. Funds borrowed from the Loan Fund would be applied to the water project in Grand Bend. Interest on such a loan is set at 51/4% and 25% of the total amount borrowed is for- given. All municipalities qualifying for a loan must have a project scheduled for commencement by September 1, 1965, and pos- sess proof that the project has been planned for the future but "stepped up". Grand Bend's main street water main has been hurried •along because it must necessar- ily be completed prior to de- partment of highway's rebuild- ing of the street. The project, estimated at a cost of $23,700, has OWRC approval and is awaiting sanction from the On- tario Municipal Board. DASHWOOD and DISTRICT (MRS. E. H.

Hay Township Farmers' Mutual Fire Insurance Company EDMOND HENDRICK JOHN R. CONSITT President Secretary -Treasurer SUCAR SPICE Bill . milky ah The aging enfant terrible, Pierre Berton, has churned out another book. With the encour- agement of the Anglican church, he took what was supposed to be a long, hard look at contem- porary Christianity, According to the critical re- views, the result, entitled "The Comfortable Pew", turned out to be a short, soft look. For years I have envied Ber- ton for a number of reasons: his facility with words; his TV interviews with gorgeous dolls; his colossal gal; his big, fat in- come. Every time the big fuzz - dome scores another coup, I get the green sickness. But this is different. My jeal- ousy is complicated by sheer hurt. If the Anglicans wanted somebody to write a book about them, why did they turn to a back -skid Anglican like Berton, when they had a front -skid An- glican, me, available. Like most converted Angli- cans, I was hauled, kicking and struggling, into the fold, on sex- ual grounds. My wife was an Anglican. At first, she used to shame me into accompanying her to church a couple of times a year. Then the outfit fastened its ten- tacles to the kids and first thing I knew I was going to Bible class pageants and Sunday school picnics. The pressure increased. Orange Lodge South Huron County Loyal Orange Lodge met in the Orange Hall in Goderich on Wednesday evening last for their annual meeting.

The officers were installed by Past County Master, Walter Scott, of Be]grave, and George Baillie, of Blyth. 0 Zurich Man Wins K. of C. Draw "Wouldn't it be lovely," she spe- culated with that phoney wist- fulness that makes you want to run for the nearest exit, "if you could be confirmed at the same time as your little son?" I dug in my heels. I refused to join in the general confes- sion, because I could hear my mother, with her solid Metho- dist background, groaning in her grave every time we came to that bit about believing in the holy Catholic church. I wouldn't kneel, but just sort of crunched down, like my Ulster Presbyterian father. Member of the Father Steph- en Eckert Council of the Knights of Columbus, at their meeting Thursday night, honor- ed Mayor John Flannery when he was presented with a Knights of Columbus emblem- atic ring by Grand Knight Chas. Rau. The members chose Mayor Flannery as "the Knight of the year" in recognition of the years of public service as coun- cillor, and now mayor of the community. Mayor Flannery thanked the members in a brief reply, as- suring the council he would treasure the gift and would as- sist the council in all its en- deavors whenever possible. A second presentation was also made by the grand knight to John L. Malone, in the form •of a past grand knight's cer- tificate which was issued from supreme office and signed by the supreme knight. Mr. Ma- lone expressed his thanks in a few brief words. The 100 Club draw was made during the meeting. The win- ner was Henry Rau, RR 2, Zur- ich. The council will award $10 to two grade 8 pupils in each Separate School in the council area. The wards will be -made in the fall and will consist .of $5.00 each -to the highest stand- ing girl. and .boy in each school in grade 8. There are nine Sep- parate Schools in the council area. The council is looking to the future and hopes that it will be able to increase these awards after the initial year. t7;js,s!r�* To cut a long conflict short, 1 was confirmed at the same time as my son. And frankly, 1 must admit that once the last rug was pulled from under my feet, I've enjoyed every minute of it. Now 1 can mumble the gener- al confession and the creed with the best of them. And I take a certain childish pride in kneel- ing, straight-backed, through the long communion service, when all about me — other peo- ple my age are groaning and reverting sneakily to a squat, a crouch or a mere bending of the head, Sometimes my fam- ily has to lift me back into the pew and massage my knees so that I can come up for the next hymn, but it's worth it. One thing I like about the An- glicans; they keep you busy. None of this stuff of sitting there dreaming for an hour while a preacher wanders through the dark forests of his own interpretations. They have, you poping up and down like al jack-in-the-pulpit, on your knees praying, on your feet singing, or on your seat getting your wind back. Another thing I like about Anglican services is the prayers. I don't think 1 could ever go back to those interminable, home-made prayers in which the preacher acts as though God had nothing better to do on a busy Sunday morning than listen to him displaying his elo- quence and endurance. At least, in the Anglican ritual, you can craftily flip over the page and he reassured that there are only two more paragraphs of the thing. Last, and I hesitate to say this, I like being an Anglican because of the snob in me. An- glicans, if pressed (up against a wall with a knife at their throats), will admit that some other faiths have certain merits. But underneath, they know that a good Anglican is a couple of jumps nearer heaven than a good R.C. or Methodist or Bap. fist or Presbyterian. In this way, they are exactly like good R.C.s, Methodists, Bap- tists and Presbyterians. But it's heartening to those who lack confidence. I told you they picked the wrong fellow to write that book.
