Let me make it clear from the
beginning that I never believed in
monsters before.
After losing a particularly tight
tennis game last week, I drrived
home after the accustomed time.
I had expected to have Scotland
Yard meet me at the door but as I
got out of the car, arms full of
street clothes, mail, cigarettes,
newspapers and other assorted
goodies (tennis racquet,) I saw
IT coming for me.
IT didn't even give me time to
let out a yell. Without a sound IT
hit me, knocked me elbow over
coffeepot and stood there with
Rev. John Campbell and a
group of young people from the
Church of God spent Friday night
and Saturday at the Parkhill
Conservation Area on a Youth
Fellowship outing.
About 15 people travelled to
Kitchener, Tuesday evening to
attend the installation service of
Rev. Don. Snell to the Church of
God.
Mrs. Joseph Moore and Mrs.
Elaine Brockman of Detroit
spent a few days last week with
Mrs. Leroy Bariteau.
Mr. & Mrs Fred Maunder of
Cameron and Mr. & Mrs. George
Playfoot of Lindsay spent the
weekend with the ladies' brother
and sister-in-law Mr. & Mrs.
Clarke Kennedy.
Mrs. J. Gillis of London is
vacationing at Huron Vista.
Mr. & Mrs. Glenn Thurman and
Dania have moved from Denfield
to take up residence in Dash-
wood. Glenn is the son of Mrs,
those huge eyes focussed on my
jugular vein.
Then IT slobbered and licked
my face.
As I struggled to get up, IT
continued to slobber and lick, all
the time dangerously bouncing
around like a wild horse. If IT had
ever stepped on me it would have
been curtains for sure.
IT, as you may have guessed by
now, is a dog. At least IT looks
like a dog but is rather large
proportions than your average
dog. St. Bernard I think they call
IT.
As I headed for the door I saw
Roy Morenz of Grand Bend.
Mary Yeo, Mrs. Leroy
Bariteau and Mrs. Lyle Dayman
visited Tuesday in London with
Mrs. Vera Roberts.
Mr. & Mrs. Barry Hamilton
and Debbie of Ottawa spent the
weekend here with his mother,
Mrs. Alec Hamilton and visited
Barry's father who is a patient in
Victoria Hospital in London.
Mrs. Lyle Dayman spent a few
days last week in Milton with her
friend Mrs. Morris Turner.
Weekend guests with Mrs.
Dayman were her niece and
husband, Mr. & Mrs. Howard
Gordon of Highgate.
Around 35 relatives and friends
attended a miscellaneous shower
last Sunday afternoon for Linda
Sokol, of Windsor, fiancee of
Allan Hulbert of London, for-
merly of Grand Bend.
Hostesses were Allan's three
aunts Mrs. Manford Luther, Mrs.
Bill Hicks of Blyth, and Mrs.
Nelson Wells of Exeter.
0`77,
IT devour a package of cigarettes
and hoped it got nicotine
poisoning. Bruised (both from
Scotland Yard and IT) I quickly
went to bed but slept very little as
deep-throated barks, growls and
howls shattered the quiet country
night every few minutes.
"That's why IT didn't eat me."
I thought. "IT's saving me for-
breakfast."
True to my darkest suspicions,
there IT was sprawled across the
driveway when I awoke in the
morning and as soon as I made a
noise, he poised for the kill. A
phone call to a neighbour
revealed that IT may actually be
the pet(?) of another neighbour a
little farther down the con-
cession,
How to get to the car without
being devoured?
I thought about throwing a few
raw steaks out the front door and
then streaking out the back but
the poverty level of the frig
ended that idea.
Finally, I got up my courage,
and walked calmly for the car
and IT came at me. I shuddered,
prepared to meet my end but IT
just slobbered and licked some
more.
"Must have eaten a steer for
breakfast," I thought thankfully.
With IT bounding down the lane
behind me, slightly higher than
my compact car, I headed for the
owners place and when I got
there just stopped and waited.
Finally IT walked up the lane a
little bit and then hesitated,
looking back •as if to say, "You're
no fun to play with. I'm going
home.,"
And I went on to work, now
firmly believing in monsters.
Grand Bend village council
expressed dissatisfaction and
frustration on Monday night at
the "rip-off" villagers are getting
from Lambton County.
"We have literally no welfare
in Grand Bend; we have no
county roads • and we get very
few benefits tor the $55,000
yearly we are charged by
Lambton county," said Reeve
Bob Sharen.
Councillor Robert Simpson said
that as far as he could see
Lambton county did very little, in
fact "nothing for the village of
Grand Bend,"
"What is the answer," asked
councillor Simpson. "How can we
change this situation. It's
wrong!"
Reeve Sharen replied that
there was nothing Grand Bend
could do. He mentioned that he
had tried on several occasions to
have the levy reduced but was
voted down.
"It costs $1,600 a day to have
county council meet and honestly
some of the councillors can't
even talk straight after lunch;
they're looped." commented the
reeve. "There's only about eight
people on county council really
working."
The reeve pointed out that
Grand Bend was assessed 2.017
percent of all county expenses.
This includes library $4,625;
health unit $2,575; general
administration $13,468; roads
$26,569 (council receives a rebate
of approximately $6,500,1 North
Lambton Rest Home, current
$2,301, capital $2,044; Home
Haven, current $3,053, capital
$621; county buildings capital
$498.
The reeve said the charges to
the village seemed very high
when Forest, with a population of
2,402 paid only 2.45 percent.
"We're getting nailed for
everything," said Mr. Sharen.
Councillor Simpson asked what
would happen if Grand Bend
refused to pay the assessment
and was told by the reeve that a
penalty of one percent per month
would be charged until someone
was finally "thrown in jail",
"Either we annex to get a
larger tax base or we cease to
exist, said the reeve, "Then we
would no longer be a separate
municipality and go back as part
of Bosanquet township."
In other business, council
accepted the proposal of the
Kleinfelt Group to call tenders on
a storm drain on River Road at
The Catholic Women's League
