Some owners feared that they would not be able to sell their homes because banks would not give mortgages to areas within a flood plain. Bert Pearce, a real estate salesman and home owner in the area said that they have not withdrawn law suits because of the expenses incurred when the old by-law was rediscovered. Income land was tied up for some time, because buyers could not get building permits. The home owners also have legal hockey gives fund Have you ever felt guilty for not feeling guilty? It feels twice,ag bad as feeling guilty in the first place. ,That happened to me recently when I gave up my old car. I had my mind made up that I would be miserable when it came time to leave it behind. But then, when I saw my new car waiting for me, I didn't feel bad at all. And then I felt worse for not feeling bad: So I've decided to devote this column to my old car, to help me get over my pangs of guilt for not' being heart broken when I left it. I won't even mention my new car - I won't tell how much I love the baby blue colour. I won't talk about that delicious smell that a brand new car always has, nor will I mentionhow smooth a ride it has. No, I'm not going to tell you about what it's like to own your very own 1980 Mustang at all. . F Instead, this column will be 'devoted to the memory of my three year friendship with Penelope Pinto. Her middle name was Ford. I met Penelope on Labour Day weekend of 1976. She had just undergone a face lift, and her complexion was green and shiny. (Alas, when we parted, spots of rust marred her smooth features.) She had reached the ripe old age of three when we first met i but I believed. that she still had enough youth in her, and I took her home. We became fast friends overt that first fall and Winter, as she ran back and forth betWeen London and Grand Bend for me. Only once di she let me doWn that wipter.'l y roomie and I had just spent Our entire savings on groceries and supplies in 1VIiraele Mart and we came out to the parking lot, loaded with big brown bags.

I had left her lights off all the time my' roomie and I were mulling over such things as Special X versus Shreddies. The taxi fare to get all those bags of groceries holne came to about $7 and , the next aay we returned for Penelope with some, jump cables. That Christnias Santa brought Penelope a new battery, and T was given my very own set of jump cables. Fortunately the cables were seldom used over' the next few years.

Miss Pamela Lynn Brenner, whose wedding to Penelope never let me down duriiig•the summer of '77. I worked as an in- formation officer with the Ontario Youth Secretariat, which means that I had to write press releases and deliver them to all the newspapers, radio stations and T.V. stations in my area. Penelope was with me every inch of the way. We went as far north as Wiarton a couple of times that summer, and down to Windsor three times. There were flour trips to Toronto, and a few jaunts east to Kitchener. We also went down to Dunnville on one occasion. Nearly every day of the week we went somewhere, even it if was just between Grand Bend and London. She enjoyed every minute of it, and proved her pleasure by getting about 26 miles to the gallon. Since I was paid by the mile, Penelope and I had a few extra dollars at the end of summer. Only once did I ever wish she was bigger than she was. Penelope was elected to take me and three girlfriends to Toronto Airport when we left for our Caribbean' Cruise. Three big suitcases could be jammed in her trunk, and the fourth was squeezed in between the two back seat passengers. Tote bags were set on the passengers lap and off we wnet. No problem. Until it came time to come home. Suddenly our suit- cases were pushed out twice as wide, and there were four extra straw bags. There were also some big straw hats, and a few pencil sketches in big frames. We had to find room for a few kits of Pina Collada mix, not to mention numerous other packages holding Puerto Rican jewellery or Grenadian spices. The trunk was loaded and two passengers took their place in the back seat. We filled the whole back seat up with our new possessions, leaving only enough room for them to breathe. Then the third passenger took her place in the front and I packed the last bags in around her. They couldn't move. I got in, and for once I was glad to be the driver. I just had barely enough room to shift Penelope's gears, And poor Penelope made that trip home from Toronto with her springs sagging; Her rear end banged on every curb we crossed. success Paul Rood will take place Saturday, November 17, 1979 in Immaculate Heart of Mary church, Grand Bend, has been entertained at a number of pre-muptial events.

Residents in the area along the Ausable River Cut south of Grand Bend have not withdrawn their law suits against Bosanquet township, despite a new proposal zoning the area as special residential. About 200 landowners met in Thedford last Tuesday night to hear the results of a study done by Paragon Engineering of Kitchener. The engineering group was' hired by the township council to resolve the confusion after a bylaw passed in 1960 was unearthed which prohibited building in flood plain land. The engineers presented a map showing how high flooding would be in the worst storm to hit the area over a 100 year period, and a line showing where flooding would be if a storm with the force of Hurricane Hazel in the Toronto area 25 years ago hit this area. The majority of the homes fell within' one or both of these areas. , William Mungall of the Ausable-Bayfield Conser- vation Authority discussed problems of erosion as well as flooding. Bosanquet reeve Charlie Srokosz, an avid water skier, dropped his eyeglasses when Mungall suggested that a speed limit be imposed on the river. According to the proposal, houses already existing in area zoned flood plain would be re-zoned residential. Many home owners said that they still felt their property would be devalued, because people will be reluctant to buy in a flood plain. Reeve Srokosz replied that there would be no further building in the area, and therefore the homes which are now there, gatherings as well as some indoor sports. The sub- committee also found that many villagers would like to have a soccer field or a baseball diamond. Interest Wood stoves blamed for two fires Grand Bend firemen were called out twice last week end when wood stoves overheated, Fireman Prosper Van- bruaene says that people aren't used to heating their homes with wood stoves and they don't keep a close enough watch on the dam- per. Van Bruaene says that the fires in the stoves get too much air, and the stove pipes get red hot, Fires break out where the pipes go through the wall to the chimney. The fire on Saturday night took place in a house on the Mollard Line , and another fire on Sunday night was in a home on the B-Line. Damages were low in both cases. Both fires were caused by wood stoves used for heat.

At the meeting, planner Bill Hollo said that they hoped to have the new zoning in effect for spring building. The proposal also said that rebuilding in the case of a fire could takeplaceif certain standards were met. The land would have to be 180 metres above sea level to meet Hurricane Hazel flood lines. Fill could be added to meet these standards. Buildings on farms would be permitted. Business Directory . rec committee on the service they are providing to the community.
