Ellwood Lemon, secretary - manager of the resort Chamber of Commerce, presented the petition at the meeting on Monday night, with 25 signatures. He cir- culated the petition for two weeks to some of the larger businesses who would pay the most toward the improve- ment area. Although he could not reach all 130 merchants, the 25 who signed up are all that is needed for council to pass a by-law as early as its November 5 meeting. Reeve Bob Sharen express- ed concern that downtown merchants do not remain open after Labour Day, and that improvements may en- courage more businesses to operate for a longer season and eventually to attract year-round establishments. If there is more than one-third (merchants) opposing the by- law, it will go to the Ontario Municipal Board for a hearing. In other businesses George Coyle approached council to have the sewer installation delayed at his property on Gill Rd. Coyle plans to demolish the existing building there and rebuild a decent sized dwelling. Deputy -reeve Harold Green advised Coyle that he must receive permis- sion from the Ausable- Bayfield Authority and the building inspector before any rebuilding may be done. Sharen added that Coyle was to give council an agree- ment in writing that no oc- cupancy will take place until there is a new residence built. In some correspondence from MP Lorne Henderson, council learned that the Bosanquet council have op- posed (with no reason) Grand Bend's expansion plans for the waste disposal site. Henderson advised council to have a meeting with Bosan- quet for an agreement on the issue, as an engineer for GB plans to start •a study of the site soon. Joe Nader expressed his concern that a survey done on his property reveals that the "Zoo" is partly on town pro- perty. Clerk Dianne Mollard paid this survey account from 1982 last week as Nader had not done so. He assured Mollard that he also paid this same account and will pro- duce his cancelled cheque as proof. As for the overlap on town property, he doesn't know what he'll do. Councillor Dennis Snider would like to have a by-law banning any motorized vehi- cle from the beach area. If a by-law is passed a fine of $500.00 will be imposed. Bruce Woodley said it's extremely dangerous to people on the beach. Peter Becker brought in the profit results from the village's pop machine show- ing a net of $2277.00, half of which goes to the village. A huge tree which is hang- ing over the village docks has drawn concern as to its safe- ty. Harvey H. Cowen, owner, declares that this tree is valuable to his proeprty but gives council the right to remove it at their own ex- pense. They will check the matter further before cutting is started. The meeting adjourned for an in -camera sesion and a reminder was announced of a parking by-law meeting on October 29. Bible Coffee Hour The Bible study was held at Clara Hamilton's home Tues- day with 16 in attendance Prayer, a hymn sing and cof- fee preceeded the study. on the book of Matthew 5:13 led by Vera Brown. "Describe a Christian who is like salt. without taste." and "What would the world be like if there were no practis- ing Christians in it?" were two of the questions discussed. Millie Desjardine closed with prayer. The meeting next week will be the same place and time. Everyone welcome. Legion Branch 498 At mixed darts Tuesday, October 9.

There is an old saying that goes "that which is pleasing to the eye- sight is also pleasing to the appetite." She said that garnishing . gives good that finished look and can change a simple dish into an elegant one. Try packing a teddy bear sandwich, a radish mouse or a few vegetable curls in alunch box and it just might come home empty! After Dawn finished showing her gar- nishes, each lady present carved an apple bird to take home. Finess Run As in the past, the grand Bend Public School, has received great community support resulting in benefits for both pupils and communi- ty.
