John Brown and mny others agreed: "I think the people in our township should control our own destiny," Mr. Brown said.

I realize we need a plan ... we have to use a little.common sense. in this ... but that has nothing to do with the people in Toronto— this is a different world." Pastor speaks on qualities. of Christian "Two important qualities of a Christian are meekness and gentleness". These were the words of Pastor Ross Smith as he spoke _ to the congregation at Wingham Baptist Church on Sun- day morning. He used as his text portions of Paul's second letter to the Corinthians, chapter ten, and said that Christians must follow the example of Jesus Christ, who always displayed these two characteristics. Special music was provided during the morning service . by the Lidstone Family , of Cam- bridge, a father and four chil- dren, who sang four numbers to their own guitar accompaniment. During the evening service, Miss Lynn Shore was baptized and she and two other girls, Marjorie Reed and Nancy Ker- win, were received into church fellowship. , • Pastor Smith began his Bible study of the book of Revelation, presenting an introduction into a series of Sunday evening T,rm:protection of low o t . in.dividggi ProtdC lon► P rthi 0 aso OnCe, Su 1 roprloiot imuronc Mortgoot,: inspron+ o1 CprpQrptft l.ntoarorica HERBERT D RSTEIN,, torrovveL c 291 4372 BRING IN� ANY RQLI, OF COLOR NEGATIVE .FILM _FOR DEVELOPING AND PRINTING AND YOU WILL RECEIVE.

"What assurance do we have that 'what is shown will be accepted?" Arthur Johnson of Wroxeter asked Mr. Hill, refer- ring to the flood -plain mapping. "DON'T TRUST THEM" Reeve Bob Gibson explained that when the original map had appeared in the plan, council had protested: "Council certainly would not pass the plan the way it was." One result of the protest was a delegation to Minister of Natural Resources, Leo Bernier, and a promise from him to re- view the provincial criteria for flood -plain mapping. Since that time, however, there has been no further word. "We're kind of in the dark," Mr. Gibson said, "we have revised this for our own strong chain. Powerful drive.

He said that assuming the enforcement of the original mapping, the town- ship still has the option of re- questing the authority "to get into flood -plain acquisition ... we can ,try to get the money to do that." He cautioned that the municipality would be re- sponsible for a share of the costs. Mr.Deslauriers explained that no second snap on flood lines was planned and suggested that the MVCA And the Ministry of Natural • Resources would probably stay with the original flood -plain interpretation. The ultimate decision, however, will rest with the ministry and "what haps the.only comic relief during the discussion with his repetitive question: "Ven is somebody going to do something about the flooding?"
