Annexation for Hensall debated
By HILDA PAYNE
Preserving the present life-
style of Hensall residents and yet.
at the same time allowing for
orderly grow th for the village is
the problem facing the planning
committee of that municipality.
Housing and parks are meaning-
tul elements in developing this
plan and must vary to suit the
individual needs of the popu-
lation in price. appearance and
size.

Pot luck supper UCW highlight
A Pot -luck Supper was the
highlight of the May meeting
when Unit 2 of the Hensall
U.C.W. met on Monday night
with Unit 4 as their guests.
Fourty-three ladies enjoyed the
meal of cold meats, casseroles.
salads and desserts.
Mother's Day was the theme of
the meeting which followed and
was opened by a poem on moth-
ers read by Mona Alderdice.
The devotional, given by Eleanor
Mansfield, directed our thoughts
to Hannah, who dedicated her
son Samuel to the Lord in thank -
fullness for his birth.
Following the dedication of
the offering, the business was
conducted by unit leader, Hilda
Payne. Arrangements were com-
pleted for the Beef Bar-b-que on
May 26 and the flowers in the
church in June. It was decided
not to hold a baking booth at
the Kinnctte Rummage Sale on
May 13..
The programme. led by Grace
Drummond and Mona Aldcrdice,
completed a very enjoyable
evening. Games and contests
were enjoyed by all present.
After the games, all who had
helped were thanked and the
meeting closed with the Mizpah
Benediction.
Welcome to Mr. and Mrs.
Berkes Malik from New Delhi,

on Oxford Street. We hope
they will be very happy in their
new land and in the village of
Hensall..

At the Hensall United Church
Sunday morning the congregation
were treated to a delightful
message when the Exeter United
Church Junior Choir and Friends
acted out the musical "Sam"
in place of the usual sermon.
Accompanied on the piano by Dr.
R. E. Topp and directed by Mrs.
Marianne McCaffrey all who took
park are to be congratulated on
a spirited performance of the
story of the Good Samaritan and
the lessons to be learned from it.
Rev. Don Beck was in charge
of the service,
The village of Hensall is well
equipped with park land, 8 acres
being available in the Community
Park and 10 acres at the Public
School. These offer both scenic
playgrounds and organized
sport as well as picnic and
ea trying facilities.
These were the facts present-
ed by Paul Ncilands. In the
discussion that followed, led
bv Roman Dzus, Assistant County
Planner, several needs were
explored. Making available
homes for w orkers and the needs
of Senior Citizens are the most
important factors it was felt.
Such building lots as already
exist in Hensall are not being
made available to buyers; a
residential Sub -division may
he the answer.
Mobile homes only need small
lots and appear to blend in
reasonably w ell w ith surroundin&
proporty.
II was generally agreed that
the amount of park space in
Hensall was much more titan
adequate blit largely inaccessahlc
for small children. Suggested
was small playlnls on corners of
residential areas.
Annexation or 1101 w as the
topic chaired by Murray Baker
later in the evening. The limited
supply of building lots was
stressed, both residential and
commercial. Both are already
expanding into surrounding town-
ships. By not expanding, we can
preserve the present life-style,
but would this lead to slow death
of the community?
There are • both advantages
and disadvantages in expanding.
On the positive side industrial
and commercial growth provide
more jobs and more taxes and
act as insurance against the
possibility of any certain ndustry
"pulling out".
Again, more diversified goods
and services can be offered to
the residents. Negatively, growth
calls for expanded municipal
services such as sewage, water,
storm sewers, schools, libraries,
tire protection and others. The
character of the community
could also change with the influx
of the new population.
in spite of these facts, the
approximately 60 'people at the
meeting felt that Hensall should
go ahead and plan for annexa-
tion, but that the growth must
be orderly and efforts made to
keep the present assessment
_balance. Generally speaking
annexation on the south side of
tnw-n was considered the most
desirable for both industrial
and residential.
