OMB detail annexation procedu res The Ontario Municipal Board has outlined some of the procedures that are to be followed persuant to their approval of Hensall's an- nexa� 200 acres from Hay hip. The board approved the annexation following a hearing earlier this Summer and the village land size will nearly double with, an ad- ditional 100 acres of in- dustrial land on the north limits and 100 of residential to the south. The order comes into ef- fect on January 1, 1982, when the two municipalities will adjust assets and liabilities in relation to the annexed land. All taxes and arrears up to the end of 1981 will belong to Hay and those outstanding after the new year will be collected by Hensall and turned over to the township within six months from the date of collection. The board further orders that the assessment of the lands to be annexed, and upon which the 1982 taxes will be levied, be determined by the assessment com- missioner on the basis of similar properties in Hensall in the vicinity of the lands being annexed. The board makes no order as to costs.

Say men of faith can do impossible Lorna Spencer presided at the Unit I meeting at Hen- sall United Church on Thurs- day, September 10, and read a poem "I Have Faith". After singing "Faith Of Our Fathers" Lorna read Scrip- tures from Mark 10, 22 and 23 and also from Luke 16, us- ing as her theme "The Power of Faith" Jesus used illustrations of how faith could move mountains. What we must remember is that Jesus says men with faith can do things, that might seem absurd and impossible. Faith means trusting in God despite all opposition and discouragement venturing Faith intotheunknownfuture believing that God has a pur- pose for us and for the world. which in the long run He will accomplish, despite all the power of evil can do to thwart it.
