Let me assure you these St. Michael's Church, London was the setting for the marriage of Angela M. Sherlock and Bruce J. McAuley, September 9, 1972, White mums decorated the church for the ceremony con- ducted by Father Feeney. Given in marriage by her brother, Russell Sherlock, the bride wore a floor length, empire- styled gown of white crepe and cotton.

Oh, yes the date, why that will be Friday, October 20. Commencing at 7:00 p.m, Comrades here is an excerpt from our Provincial Command Bulletin which is worth a thought: "I watched them tearing a building down a gang of men in a busy town, With a yo-heave-ho and lusty yell, They swung a beam and the side wall fell, I asked the forman; "Are these men skilled The kind you would hire if you want to build?',' The Lucan Lions Club held their meeting recently, with guest speaker, Reeve Ivan Hearn, He gave an interesting talk on Lucan - its past, present and future. He explained briefly the planning and months of hard work that went into the new Main Street, including the sewer and water main, They were also informed that the contract for the new fire hall had been let and construction on the works building is under way. Lion Gordon Brooks spoke on the school of Instruction held in London. Guest for evening was Don DeGraw, Lucan, wanted to fill in the background of every canvass with this deep wine yarn, and felt that more interest could be created by choosing six different patterns," Her choice could not have been wiser. The colours stand out so clearly against the wine background. Needlepoint can be used to make cushion covers, luggage rack straps, telephone-book covers, or just framed for pictures on the wall. Gladys used the gros point stitch, a simplified half-cross stitch, which is the standard, most commonly used one. The petit-point stitch is only half the size of the gros point and the work is exacting rather than relaxing. After the work is finished it can be blocked professionally, or you can do it yourself. Gladys said "Hilton and I took the canvasses, one at a time, and blocked them, We marked the exact measurement of the canvass on a piece of plywood, then rolled each canvass in a damp bath towel and left it for three hours. It was then pinned securely to the plywood and took about two days to dry thoroughly. I pressed the needlepoint with a damp cloth, just until the cloth dried.

SQUIRE In times of tension, worries can disappear and often problems are solved if we get busy and create something with our hands. Upon viewing some lovely article a person has made, we hear another say: "I couldn't possibly create anything like that, I'd never find the time, and besides I'm so clumsy with my hands." Take the bull by the horns, as the old saying goes, start with some easy project so that you don't lose interest or become frustrated, and just keep prac- ticing until a work of beauty finally emerges. My neighbour, Mrs. Hilton Roberts (Gladys), plied a No, 18 biro'-point tapestry needle in her free time last winter, creating beautiful needle point seat- covers. She pointed with pride to the lovely, colorful work on six dining-room chairs, We asked Gladys if she found pleasure from this craft, Husband Hilton grinned mischievously, saying "She'd never have got them finished if I hadn't helped her!" We ignored him, asking Gladys to explain why she chose six canvasses, each with a different design worked on them, instead of just one particular pattern. "The floral designs already worked on the canvasses were all so lovely that I couldn't make up my mind which one I liked best.
