Twenty-five blanket quilts were
completed for the destitute
people of other nations. One quilt
was donated by a church member

quilted for the residence of
Waterloo Lutheran Seminary.
After the pot luck supper the
ladies were entertained with
songs and piano solos by Ann,
Margie, and Susan Deichert;
Kelly and Vicki Schroeder, Julie
Miller, Sharon Thiel and Lori
Turkheim and Martha Klopp.
A short business meeting was
held following the devotions.
The visiting committee reported
making 14 calls to shut-ins during
January. The next project of the
ladies is to make layettes for the
bale.

fred Laurier University, Water-

delegates to this convention are
to be finalized at the next meet-
ing.

At a previous council meeting,
council was informed that the
guard rails had been damaged
by a contractor acting for Mr.
Masse in clearing snow from his
property and with his knowledge.
Council then instructed the clerk
to write to Mr. Masse regarding
replacement of the poles.
At Monday's meeting, Mr.
Masse said he was aggravated
when he read reports of the mat-
ter in the newspaper prior to
receiving official notification
from the village. He maintained
that the snow removed from his
property did not go in the river
as the newspaper article ment-
ioned. The snow which was
dumped over the bank into the
river had, according to Mr.
Masse, come from the front of
his store.
"For five winters I've looked
after removal of snow from in
front of my store," the Grand
Bend businessman stated. "We
always push it to the back of the
lot but With all the snow this
year there was just no more room
so he dumped it over the bank.
1 certainly didn't know any posts
had been broken. I would like
to think I could have been app-
roached about the matter before
it had to come before council
and appear in the newspaper."
Mr. Masse also suggested that
it might be in order to present
the village with a bill for his
costs in removing snow from
the front of his store.
,.I've been told I was irrespon-
sible since this appeared in the
newspaper," Mr. Masse said.
"If I had broken the guard rails,
I wouldn't have to be told to
replace them, 1 would do it on my
own."
Mr. Masse said he was compl-
aining to the council as a whole
and did not mean his comments
to be a personal criticism.
Councillor Harold Green critic-
ised the news media for picking
out "juicy tidbits" from the
council meeting and reporting
them.
"It doesn 't seen very news-
worthy to me that a couple of
guard rails were broken," said
Mr. Green. He admitted that
council should have gone into
committee -of -the -whole if it
didn't want comments on the
matter to be reported.
Mr. Masse ended the discus-
sion stating that if he had been
called or visited by council before
the meeting or even after the
meeting but before he read. it in
the newspaper, he wouldn 't
have been as aggravated as he
was under the present circumst-
ances.
"I still feel I deserve a public
apology," said Mr. Masse.
