GINETTES RESTAURANT • from page 5A marvelled at the paintings on the ceiling. The inside was beautiful: the pillars and the niche; the rugs on the floor and the pain- tings, the curled lines of the Arabic from the Koran. On the street outside, there were all kinds of Islamic paraphenalia: copies of the Koran, books on how to pray, skull caps, in- cense, prayer beads. There are also beggars and men with skull caps and women veiled from head to toe in black chadours. It's normal to pray in public and I now know the direction of Mecca. I was near the mosque last Friday at noon. Since the mos- que was full, the street to the side was covered with plastic mats. People were on them, facing in one direction, in various stages of prayer. Sandals or shoes were not on the mats, because after the ritual pruification with water, the individual can present himself as clean to God. Women always pray behind the men. I know now that tea is"very popular. My tailor is Muslim, and one afternoon he got out his small charcoal barbecue, put a tiny teapot on the coals and made tea. I had three tiny glasses of the strong, heavily sugared, mint beverage. For the next month, that is not allowed. Ramadan began yesterday. Some of the Muslim students don't drink, but theywill pot be strictly following the fast. To not eat or drink in this heat and to continue working is a difficult test of faith. A person must be strong to resist temptation. Christianity .here has an African face. During the Easter service at a cathedral the music was different. There wee the hymns but no organ. The music was the sound of rattles and drums. And to express the hope for a good harvest, a group of women went dancing in, with pots of rice, fruit, and vegetables on their heads. I'm continuing to enjoy life here. I know I'll miss it when I leave. I plan on going to Burk no Faso before I leave. I'll try to send a postcard telling what an interesting and fascinating place it is. Sincerely, Karen. • SEAFORTH'S FAMILY RESTAURAN PORK CHOP DINNER bedudes Coffee or Teo and Dessert SUN .

CONTRACTED SERVICES The Town of Seaforth has responded to the deputation made by `Lawnmaster' Paul Vandermolen at the May meeting of council. At that time Mr. Vandermolen debated the town's policy regarding con- tracted services vs. town employees per- forming services - and expressed outrage the town had also decided to tender for grass cutting of the highschool property. In lieu of Mr. Vandermolen's presenta- tion, the Town of Seaforth has reviewed its policy and has stated that, in future, it will not tender on any grass cutting of non - municipal property. However, it did emphasize that a deci- sion to hire a seasonal person to maintain town property has been a cost efficient one. It noted that: two part-time employees had been eliminated by hiring one full- time employee; the parks are being main- tainedextremely,, well"; and any re- quired week spraying is being contracted out to a licensed professional. FALL CLEAN UP In addition to its.annual Spring Clean -Up Week, the Town of Seaforth Town Council has authorized a Fall Clean -Up Week, tobe held just after the first frost. Council agreed with members of its Transportation and Environment Commit- tee, that since the closure of the Seaforth Landfill Site, it is much more difficult for local residents to dispose of larger items. ERECT SIGN Subject to approval from the Minist y of Transportation the Seaforth Legion, Branch 156 has been given ,permission to erect a directional sign at the corner of Main and Goderich Streets to point out its location to visitors. The Legion has agreed to bear all costs involved in the erection of such a sign.

CHIEF'S AGREEMENT Council accepted a report from the negotiating committee concerning Police Chief Hal Claus' agreement. The final two items of the Chief's agree- ment were finalized. The first article clarified that the Chief may, subject to council approval, be granted up to five days off with pay annually, to attend either the annual conference of the Ontario Association of Chief's of Police or the Canadian Association of Chief's of Police Annual Conference. The Chief will be reimbursed for registration, travel, ac- comodation and other expenses as approv- ed by council prior to attending the conference. Prior approval of expenses is a require- ment affecting all town employees after council recently established a policy regarding conference expenses. The other article was legal fees, and the agreement was reworded for clarification of when legal fees will be paid by the town. "All reasonable legal expenses incurred as a result of the Chief of the Seaforth Police Department being charged while in lawful execution of his duties as a police of- ficer in which the charge is either withdrawn or the chief is acquitted, shall be borne by the Town of Seaforth in their entirety." With the agreement's finalization the Chief will begin to be paid his 1989 salary retro -active to January 1, 1989. EYE GLASS BENEFIT The terms of employment for all town employees incorporated a:;100 eye glass benefit -every two years, based on recent payments received by some employees from North American Life. The previous benefit was ;75 every 24 months, arid North American Life has recently advised that the4100 benefit was paid in error. The negotiating cgmmittee felt it would be unfair to change the terms of employ- ment, so council increased the eye glass benefit to;100 effective August 1, 1989; and employees: submitting.a$100 claim for 1989 and receiving$75 from the insurer will be ,paid ;25 bythe^town.
