NEWS
FROM LONDESBORO
Charlie and Wendy (Caldwell)
Crawford of Kelowna, B.C., recently
visited in Southwestern Ontario.
Gordon and Darlene Shobbrook
hosted a family get-together when
the couple were in Huron County.
Enjoying a chance to catch up on
each other’s happening were Charlie
and Wendy, Bill and Joan Crawford,
Doris Andrews, Thelma Ellerby, Ken
and Mary Shobbrook of Oshawa and
Ross and Muriel Millson of
Woodstock.
John and Jane Klassen have had
two weddings on their property at the
western edge of Londesborough, the
most recent being Saturday, Sept. 6.
Some villagers may have spotted the
tent that weekend.
John and Jane’s daughter, Kristi,
married Brian Hoogstra and Jane
reports that they had wonderful day.
The couple resides in Strathroy.
Ourselves and some other village
folk got a chance to feel like part of
the celebrations as we watched
Chinese lanterns float skyward
shortly after 9 p.m. The sky was
filled with 100 or so of them which
drifted off to the south and slowly
burned out. Apparently a relative of
the groom had brought these very
unique, to Huron County at least,
lanterns home from China. The brideand groom lit theirs first, followed bythe wedding party and then each
guest.
Each one burned for about four
minutes. If you happened to see
them, your eyes were not playing
tricks on you and, no, it was not a
UFO event. Just part of the fun.
On a less happy note the Klassens
report that the island of Haiti has
been devastated by the hurricanes
that have played ‘follow the leader'
through the Caribbean in recent
weeks. The compound where they
have “vacationed” in the winter has
suffered much damage.
The mission area is alongside a
river. The church was under water
and parts of the compound walls
washed away. Nearby villages are
now under mud. Thankfully it would
appear the orphanage withstood the
onslaught. What this means is that
mission workers will need to do
repair work before any new projects
can begin.
The Countdown Club invites kids
from senior kindergarten through
Grade 6 on an Amazon Expedition.
This children’s program, similar to
Vacation Bible School, includes
crafts, games, singing, Bible lessons
and special events. This trek through
time happens Thursday evenings
from 7 - 8:30 p.m. at the
Londesborough Bible Chapel.
For more information you may
call, Glen and Elaine Steinson at
519-482-5218.
Remember to drop by the post
office on Friday to be a part of the
Alzheimer’s Society coffee break
there.

Few changes
at HCPS
In 1947, Londesborough-area men
formed the Londesborough Men’s
Bowling League.
With four teams in the league,
they bowled originally on the alley
at the corner of Mary and Isaac
Streets in Clinton. The alley was part
of a pool hall and two teams bowled
early while two teams bowled later
in the evening.
Bowling was a popular pastime
for many decades and when the
larger facility, Clinton Crown Lanes
opened, the league moved there and
four more teams were added.
Therefore, at one time, the league
had 48 regular bowlers and a
number of spares.
In more recent years the league
has shrunk in numbers with only 22
bowlers closing out the 2007-2008
season.
This summer, Clinton Crown
Lanes closed, as have other area
alleys, and this fall, after 61 years,
the league has disbanded.
Regrettably this is another sign of
the times.
Jack Lee was an original member
and bowled for all 61 years of the
league.

“Do unto others as you would have
them do unto you.”
To Christians this rule for
relationships is known as the Golden
Rule and it was the basis for the
message brought to Londesborough
United Church on Sunday, Sept. 7 by
Rev. Pat Cook.
She commented that major
religions of the world have a similar
rule for adherents to live by.
The examples Rev. Cook read to
worshippers gathered that morning
were from Judaism, Hinduism,
Buddhism, and the Ba’hai Faith.
The supporting Gospel scripture
for the message from Matthew 18:
15-20 was read by Mary Anne Drost.
This law of the prophets makes
relationships real and simple and
uncomplicated. Love, prayer,
forgiveness and fellowship create the
proper atmosphere for relationships.
Life can be too complicated and in
order to clear our lives we need to
forgive ourselves and others for
supposed wrongs.
Thinking positively has an effect
on those around us and makes for
pleasant interactions.
As Christ followers one must
recognize the goodness in others and
overlook any shortcomings. The
golden rule, the law of the prophets,
should guide our lives and actions.
During their time together at the
front, Rev. Pat told the children a
story about the first day of school.
Two young boys spoke with the
crossing guard at their new school.
She asked them what the children
were like at their former school. One
young fellow stated the children
were mean and unfriendly. The other
young man happily replied that he
found his former classmates to be
helpful, kind and friendly.
The reply of the crossing guard
was that each would find the children
at the new school similar to the
former school. The point made was
that how one behaves is how one is
treated in return. One receives from
relationships what one gives, another
way of stating the golden rule.
As this was the first Sunday back
to regular services after a short
summer break, churchgoers enjoyed
coffee and muffins prior to the
service thanks to Ken and Laura
Scott.
Sept. 21, Londesborough will join
Auburn for the morning service at
Ball’s Church at 11 a.m.

The Happy Gang Seniors will
resume their monthly meetings on
Wednesday, Sept. 24 at the
Londesborough Community Hall.
Following their potluck meal at
12:30 p.m., well-known area
historian, Brock Vodden, will talk to
the group about local history. It
should be a most interesting
afternoon recalling people, places
and events perhaps forgotten.
The Happy Gang Seniors held
their card party at the
Londesborough Community Hall on
Friday, Sept. 12. There were 17
tables of card players that evening.
With 86 points, Myrtle and Kay
claimed first place. Len and Betty
Archambault took second place with
76 points. Two couples shared third
prize with scores of 68, John and
Catherine and Harold and Doris
McClinchey.
Edythe Beacom and Kay Konarski
played the most successful lone
hands with seven.
The group will hold their next
euchre party on Oct. 10.
Gang meetings resume Sept. 24
