Merchants concerned about tent plan
The Downtowner
Restaurant was the scene
Thursday night for an
agitated discussion by 25
Grand Bend merchants con-
cerninga recommendation by
village planning board to ac-
cept a proposals by Mother's
Restaurants Inc. and PAW
(The Foundation for the
Preservation and Protection
of Wildlife) to erect a tem-
porary .tent on the north
beach to serve food catered
by Mother's Pizza Parlor and
Spaghetti House Inc.
J. S. McDonald, treasurer
of PAW, Joseph Stern, district
manager of Mother's
Restaurants Inc., and land
owners R. Paul Fraleigh and
T. S. Fraleigh proposed to:
1) install for fund raising
event two tents on the com-
mercial part of the beach
owned by the Fraleighs im-
mediately adjacent to the pre-
sent parking lot. The size of
these two tents will not exceed
20'x80'. Furthermore, only
food and beverages will be
served with ,all profits
donated to PAW. Further-
rgore no alcoholic beverages
will be served.
2) The installation of a •
water line and temporary
hydro hook-up for this
structure.
3) enter into an agreement
whereas Mother's
Restaurants Inc. and PAW
are prepared to pay $2,500 for
the rental of washrooms
facilities from the village of
Grand Bend. Coupons will be
issued to patrons to assure
their free admittance to these
facilities only.
4) PP W is prepared to
donate 10 percent of all profits
it receives from this summer
event to the Village of Grand
Bend for the use in communi-
ty projects of importance.
5) give Mother's
Restaurants Inc. an oppor-
tunity to conduct a marginal
market survey regarding the
potential location of a fine
quality -type restaurant in
Grand Bend."
The proposal was cir-
culated among the Grand
Bend merchants prior to
Thursday's meeting. The
issue was to come before
village council Monday night
for resolution and merchants
spokesman Bill Janssen said
there would be lots of ques-
tions by Grand Bend mer-
chants at the Monday night
meeting.
Janssen, who chaired the
Thursday meeting said, "We
want the best for all of Grand
Bend." He said he was deter-
mined to keep an open mind
about the issue.
Competition with existing
food outlets in the village
didn't seem to be the biggest
issue among the merchants.
There was resentment ex-
pressed that the local ownefs
had complied with by-laws re-
quiring washrooms and
health facilities and that any
new venture should be of a
permanent nature. "We don't
want 'a tent on the beach,"
and "let them take the risk on
a permanent structure like
the rest of us," were com-
ments repeated during the
meeting.
The question of health stan-
dards was raised as well as
thoughts of a tent blowing
away during a storm from the
lake.
There was also discussion
about whether the $2,500
would cover extra expense in
operating village washrooms
for the extended period of the
hours of operation of the
venture.
Mother's district manager,
Joseph Stern, explained Fri-
day by phone that the com-
pany ' had operated in a
similar away across the pro-
vince for such special events
as plowing matches with a
"hight quality of success."
MERCHANTS MEET - About 25 Grand Bend business persons met Thursday nigh
to discuss a recommendation by Grand Bend Planning Board to allow Mother's
Restaurant to erect a tent for the summer on the beach. Some of the merchants
are shown here in their discussion.

He said the company would
not entertain a venture which
in any way would tarnish the
image of Mother's: He said
that the association with PAW
fitted nicely with the family -
type imrtge of the Restaurant
chain.
"We're not looking for pro-
blems," he said. "You can be
sure if we come in we'll be a
credit to the community." He
said the company was
seriously looking at a perma-
nent structure for the future.
One of the fears merchants
expressed was that the com-
pany would reap the benefits
of such an operation for one
season only.
There was skepticism about
the involvement of PAW.
Literature from the founda-
tion states that its aim is to
protect endangered species
through research and provi-
sion of sanctuaries in natural
settings.
Organized in January, the
foundation has applied for
registered charity status with
Revenue Canada. Tim
Fraleigh has stated that the
group is currently working
with London PUC to install
animals and shelters at
Storybook Gardens, a
children's park in London.

The World Day of Prayer
The World Day of Prayer
service was held for this area
in the Immaculate Heart of
Mary, Catholic church with
about 85 in attendance.
The theme "New persons in
Christ," was written by
women in theCaribbean. The
Catholic Women's League
president, Lia Vandenberk,
welcomed all, and introduced
the speaker Father Mor-
rissey. He spoke to us on
prayer, and how Jesus often
went alone to pray.
Each person's prayer is the
language of any Christian
community. Each individual
prayer must be backed up by
the community. They belong
together, said t'ather Mor-
rissey. It's important to
understand prayer. A com-
munity without prayer soon
becomes only a social
community.

attending, and taking part
were from Dashwood United,
Mrs. Mervyn Tieman, Mrs.
Margaret Carroll and Mrs.
Sid Baker; from Church of
God, Mrs. John Campbell and

ing was $123.70 which will go

Council of Canada.
