Unit I of the UCW will meet on Thurs- day at 2 p.m. At Grand °end 1 GA s r m '1�11j It is still not absolutely certain that renovations and extended hours of the public washrooms at the village of Grand Bend municipal office will satisfy the Lambton County Health Unit. Last fall, businesses in Grand Bend were notified by the Lamb - ton Health Unit that provincial regulations regarding washroom facilities would have to be met this summer. It was suggested that the town facilities might be used as an alternative until sewake was available. Individ- ual washrooms are impractical at present due to limited lot sizes, unable to facilitate septic tanks. On thursday night, council received a letter in reply to an earlier inquiry by the village asking if extended hours and renovations would satisfy the Health Unit until the sewers were installed. The letter from the Health Unit suggested that if the washrooms were kept open .until the village food outlets were required to Meeting Margaret Ottawa highlight Hensall, Ontario One lady asked me "Would you sit on the floor if you were the Prime Minister's wife?" I replied "I certainly would and I would ask all of you to join me". I never dreamed the day would come when we, the common people, could meet and talk with our leaders and their wives. I hope this is indicative of future trends. Do not misunderstand me regarding our system, I am all for many facets of it. After touring our House of Commons where so much history has been made and will be made, where our lovely Queen Elizabeth is our head, I feel as if I had been in a very sacred place and again feel very proud to be a Canadian. I could go into greater detail about, niy trip to Ottawa but the most memorable part of it was my meeting with Margaret Trudeau a young wife and Mother who by the way, feeds her baby the natural way, dresses Dear Sir: I have just returned from five days in Ottawa,, where my husband attended a convention of H.U.D.A.C. (Housing and Urban Development Association of Canada).' There were the usual opening ceremonies, breakfasts, luncheons, fashion shows and tour of the National Arts Centre. Highlights of my visit began on Tuesday February 3, when we (more than 500, ladies) were taken to the Lester B. Pearson Memorial Centre for tea with Mrs. Pierre Trudeau our hostess. I had the thrilling experience of shaking hands with her, chatting with her and having her give me her autograph. I shall not go into detail regarding our conversation as it was mainly woman -talk and personal. She is not only beautiful to see but a warm, sincere human being who emanates love: not like our daughters, and speaks our language. I used to think that protocol was ,an incurable disease and I often wonder if I was not correct. I believe that some of the things that some people and reporters said about her are very cruel. I saw some of them trying to shove their microphones close to her to try and pick up her private remarks to some of the ladies, flashing pictures while. she talked informally with us. Imagine how she must have felt, after all the travelling her late arrival home the previous night, plus tending'to her baby and then coming out to meet and talkwith more than 500 ladies the following day. Long live Margaret and long live Canada, in peace with the whole world. Yours truly, Mrs. Minnie Noakes MINNIE NOAKES only for her family but for all people. Because she followed the golden rule of "Love Thy Neighbour" while they were visiting Cuba, Mexico and Venezuela, she is being ripped to shreds for saying so. I have been in close contact with many young people recently, 99% of them are A-1 in niy books, and with them, do not forget, rests our future. They have been calling to us for help for many years, trying. to tell us something but people have not listened. Our generation has made a mess of many things pertaining to government in many directions. I firmly believe Margaret Trudeau has the only answer for our future, "Love Thy Neigh- bour", attitude. I love Margaret and what she represents and I know many of you will agree. Oh yes. I met some who think she is dreadful, crazy, on dope and manyother unflattering remarks. close, the renovations would be acceptable.It also added that if any complaints were received, the Health Unit would invest- igate. If the complaints were found legitimate, changes would have to be made the Health Unit letter stated. "They'll come back on us if the washrooms are deemed inadequate." said councillor Robert Simpson. "And we'll have to keep them open until 2:30 a.m." Reeve Sharen • suggested "johnny-on-the-spot" might be accepted by the Health Unit this year in some areas although -they were frowned upon last year. Councillor Bill Baird tabled estimates for renovations to the washrooms at about $1,000. An additional $130 will be requir- ed to repair the washrooms on the south side of the river. Repairs to the beach change house and washrooms, including the installation of an $800 shower, will be $1,300. Easy to find out.
