of her sister.
Winter Carnival will soon be
here, so everyone prayor wish or
hope for. SNOW.
Now! The Standard Trust'
area for some time but while weath-
er forecasts call for colder tempera-
tures by the weekend, there is still
no mention of any snow in the near
future.
Grand Bend Chamber of Com-
merce President Dave Sheppard said,
if if therdon'tget any snow most
of the Carnival events will still go
as planned. Only the, snow sculp-
ting, snowshoe tours and sled dog
races would be affected,_but Shep-
pard added if worst comes to worst
they could bring in some snow-
making equipment to help theprob-
.lem.
The snow -sculpting event will
not take place ' until the second
weekend of the carnival, February
11-12 so Sheppard said they still
have a little time to get some snow.
Last year's winning team took
part in an international snow -
sculpting competition in Milwau-
kee with no snow. Sheppard said
they trucked the snow in and the
-teams worked at night by torch
light when it was colder and slept
during the day.
The warm weather took its toll on
six of the 18 creations and unfortu-
•nately the local teams was one that
melted just hours before judging.
If there is no snow this weekend
in Grand Bend the sled -dog -races,
which are slated for the Pinery, will
not be rescheduled because partici-
pants in the race are- on a tight
schedule and have other places to
race, places with snow.
Many of the events are held inside
but some of the outside activities,
like; Sno-Pitch, the Winter Parade,
Kid's Skating Party and the Snow
Bird Golf Tournament can be played
with or without snow but Sheppard
said it wogld -still be nice if they
. had some.

maculate Heart of Mary Church.
The readings were taken from Jere-
miah; Corinthians and Luke .4,
where.Jesus declared that a prophet
is never accepted in his own coun-
try, just as Jeremiah was nearly
driven to despair by rejection.
In his sermon, Father Beck bx-
plored the topic 'of criticism. - do
we, by our attitudes and actions,
criticize the church and rebel'.
against God's message? Do we
complain that it is too impractical,
too idealistic or too demanding of
us?
