They stopped on their way up in Michigan and brought along Seniors Non -Profit Corpora- tion on Friday after they huddled with an official from Canada Mortgage and Hous- ing at the Anglican Church. Rev. Jim Sutton, chairman of the committee which had been working on the project for only slightly more than seven months, said it would be financed through CMA. At Friday's press con- ference, the group announced that the London architectural firm of Breivik-Scorgie- Wasylko had been chosen from among five which sub- mitted proposals to design the new facility. The architects will also assist the next major decision to be made by the Grand Bend group and that is in choosing a site. Sutton said about seven cities have been suggested and he indicated the one selected would have to be about one acre in size to ac- commodate the building. OUTLINE PLANS — A senior citizen housing project for Grand Bend was announc- ed Friday. The facility will have of least 20 units and should be completed in about 12 months. Members of the group in charge are, back row left, Mickey Webb, Councillor Murray Des Jardins and Elgin McNab. Seated are secretory Ila Keyes, chairman Rev. Jim Sutton and Doreen Seguin. Missing is Don Southcott. However,. Reeve Bob Sharen, who attended the press conference, urged that the group consider acquiring more land than needed a t the outset so that the facility could be expanded at a later date if necessary. The Anglican minister agreed that it would be a disservice for the organizing group to allow no room for ex- pansion and he welcomed the Reeve's suggestion that the village could possibly pay the cost of any land acquired beyond that which was re- quired immediately. The need for a senior citizen facility in the resort was documented by a survey which was answered by about 100 residents. Those replies were analyzed by Bramwell Gregson of McLaren Engireers Inc. of London and then relayed back to the com- mittee for consideration. Greg Playford, director of programs in the CMA London office, explained that the pro- ject won't get final approval until the actual building con- tract is ready to sign. He in- dicated that CMA was satisfied there was a demand for such a facility in Grand Bend. Fifteen percent of the units in the apartment have to be geared -to -income units and the facility is open to anyone of age 60 and over. Sutton said it is hoped to have construction underway when the frost is out of the ground next spring and didn't envision any problems in ac- quiring the necessary property. Members of the committee, which may be expanded to draw on some further exper- tise in such areas as accoun- ting, includes Mickey Webb, Ila Kayes, Doreen Seguin, Don Southcott, Elgin McNab and Councillor Murray DesJardins.

A reminder of the Hallowe'en party to be held at the Legion October 22 at 8:30 p.m. Church of God news At the Sunday morning ser- vice, Rev. John Campbell's topic was "Bearing much fruit," with scripture from John 15:1-17. Jesus said we are to bear much fruit. One is the fruit of righteous living, another is the fruit of answered prayer. We must let the truth in God's word become alive and show themselves in our lives, then others will see these fruits in us. Special musical number was a group of youths singing, "Heaven came down and glory filled my soul." At the Sunday evening ser- vice about 40 attended the ser- vice at Bluewater Rest Home, and Rev. J. Campbell delivered a Thanksgiving message to the residents. The group provided several musical numbers. Women of the Church of God met Thursday evening at the church. Eleven ladies answered the roll call with a household hint. President, Betty Campbell, chaired the business. Millie Desjardine gave a program talk on steps to deal with loss and grief. She said loss does not necessarily mean a death. Marian Steckle demonstrated making butter tarts and served them for lunch. Rev. and Mrs. J. Campbell, Marian Snider, Susan Rum - ball and Deanna MacGregor attended a Christian Educa- tion Convention, last Friday evening in Flint Michigan. Catholic Church news Sunday Mass was celebrated by Father R. Mor- rissey, speaking from the gospel based on the story of the judge and the widow who persisted in her demands for justice. The judge was final- ly worn down by her perseverance and relented to grant her plea. Prayer is essential in our lives, remembering that perseverance is rewarded. Prayer for those things we want is no better than a pagan, a true Christian puts himself in a position to be receptive to what God wants for him. God operates through human beings, like Abraham, Moses, Mary and the Jewish nation: therefore we must cooperate with God in prayer to achieve his work on this earth.
