SQUIRE The ability to quilt in this machine age is an art of which one can take pride. It is a simple art, but requires skill, love and patience. Every age can spend many happy hours doing this 'pick up' work. Mother can teach her little girl to make a quilt for her doll-bed. Girls in their 'teens can use learned sewing skills to fashion lovely clothes from the wealth of materials found in the fabric shops. There seems to be no decline in home-sewing, but quilt making now is done by a select few. As history changes, so do current styles. What was born of necessi- ty becomes obsolete. Quilt making, unfortunately, falls into this category. Homes are warmed by central heating. The bride who once brought quilts made by loving hands to her new home, as part of a dowry, now brings an electric blanket, A group of women in Lucan find relaxation and personal satisfaction in the age-old art of quilting. They spend pleasant in- terludes plying a needle through material, creating a work of beauty and practicability. In March 1970 Mmes. Emma Langford, Gladys Reilly, Florence and Honor Stanley, and Lily Young, formed the executive of the Social Action Quitters' group, Lucan. Ten other members participate when they are able. The women meet at the Chris- tian Education Centre of the Lucan United Church. The quilting frame is erected and the sharp quilting needles do not stop AP orders for complete quilts, or they will quilt a top which has been made by another individual, At present there are six or seven quilts on order, Beautiful quilts made by the Lucan women now grace beds as far away as Nova Scotia, Arizona and Florida. The 'Colonial Lady' design is still a favorite, possibly because of the variety of colors that show off to advantage, All quilts are made long enough to cover the bed pillows as well, so that no further bedspread is desirable or necessary. The women use Perma-Prest material for the top, together with print; then a terylene bat and on the bottom of the quilt, a Perma-Prest sheet, which has no seam. All monies received from the sale of the quilts goes into the United Church treasury, then used to assist financially with necessary projects connected with the church. This year the women paid for the interior pain- ting of the church, Once a year, at Christmas, the members treat themselves to a well-deserved little party. Can you patiently work thousands of little stitches into a prepared design? Help is always needed by the group. The time spent over the quilting frame is not time wasted. There is good conversation and a lessening of tension with every precise stitch made. An added bonus is the break for lunch. A more ap- propriate name for these busy women could not be found than The Social Action Quitters' group. Last Wednesday the Anglican Church Women met in the home of Mrs. C. Haggai'. The president Mrs. F. Hardy Sr. presided, The program was presented by Min- nie Hodgins and Violet Hardy, Rev, R.A, Carson presided at the election of officers for 1973: president, Violet: Hardy; past president, Edna Hodgins; vice- president, Gladys Roberts; secretary. Florence Hodgins; treasurer, Edyth Murdy; educa- tion committee, Maude Hodgins and Kay Haggar; social service committee, Muriel Corbett and Lexie Atkinson; Dorcas com- mittee, Blanche Haskett and Gladys Atkinson. Sunday Rev. Carson preached on the doctrine of justification by faith in the service of Holy Com- munion. Mr. Carson said that the Lord§ Supper to St. Paul was the proclamation of the Gospel, In the service we come to terms with God by confessing our sins, being forgiven and then we are ready by faith to receive Christ through the bread and wine. Mr. Carson concluded by saying that we need to use this dramatic means to enter in the blessings of the Gospel, By SID DALEY "They were Remembered", Yes comrades, from reports at hand, most Remembrance Day services were well attended. It was my pleasure on November 11 this year to be invited back to my old stamping grounds in Haileybury to be the speaker at their Remembrance banquet, It certainly was great to visit my old comrades of the north, it just doesn't seem possible that four years have slipped by since my transfer. For a town the size of Haileybury we had a well attended parade with about 50 comrades participating along with Girl Guides and Scouts marching to the swirl of the pipes and drums. It was amazing how many folks attended the cenotaph ceremony to pay homage to the war dead. Following the parade I visited with my old friends at Cobalt for a few hours and again renewed old acquaintances, At the banquet it was a joy to look out over the near capacity crowd when I delivered my speech, It sure is a great feeling to be among old friends on such as these. There was one thing I noted. Our friends of the north stole the march on us — they had their snow a lot quicker than we did. On the way back to Lucan, we detoured to Sault St. Marie and paid a brief visit with the senior Daley, who advised Remem- brance Day services in that city were also well attended. It appears comrades, this year , Of with November 11 falling on a Saturday, had a lot to do with the increase in attendance, In any event congratulations to the Royal Canadian Legion who are preserving the Peace by making sure everyone is aware of the high cost of Freedom by holding remembrance services to honour our fallen comrades. Are you an early Bird, Do you know how to become an early bird? It is not difficult comrades, All that is necesary is that you pay your 1973 membership dues, NOW. Surely it will be a great feeling to get the membership chairman off your back and at the same time to know you are supporting your branch of the Royal Cana- dian Legion. Wear a dis- tinguishing badge of an Early Bird, it will go great along with your smile. Branch 540 is happy to advise that in conjunction with Kimber- ly displays we will be sponsoring a community display board near the Post Office in Lucan. This board is for the use of all non- profit organizations in our com- munity who would like to publish a coming event. — the cost — "nothing". Yes, folks, can you imagine in this day and age you can still get something for nothing. When the bulletin hoard has been erected we will let you know who to contact for posting a notice, We feel this will be a real asset to our community and trust all and sundry will make good use of it, New thought — Our Tuesday night mixed sports program is going well. Their next meeting will be Tuesday, November 21. It's not too late to enter a team. Remember for an evening of cribbage, euchre, darts or shuffleboard it's the Tuesday night mixed sports club at branch 540 where the action is. .Smiling Carl advises that the People's Choice will be in the Sea, Land and Air Lounge on Saturday, November 18, I am sure our comrades will remember this ever popular group. Make it a point to attend. Cribbage players, attention. Branch sports officer advises Friday. November 24 at 9 p.m. sees Lucan at Parkhill. Now this notice gives you plenty of time to get practiced up on the old 15-2. Let's get behind Little Len, our amiable branch sports officer and turn up by the numbers to show our good comrades of Parkhill how the game is really played. And that's 30 for this week. Remember — Gardening didn't keep Adam out of mischief. LUCANITE DIES Margaret Mallott, Montreal and formerly of Lucan passed away November 2, 1972 at the residence of her daughter in Montreal.

MURDY for Middlesex County Board of Education Representing McGillivray Township, Lucan and Biddulph Township EXPERIENCE COUNTS The worship service at Lucan United Church was taken by Rev. W.C. Tupling. The sermon was entitled Peace with Honour The members of the Canadian Legion, Branch 540 were welcomed. Rev. Tupling recalled the blessings of peace and the sacrifices that were necessary to obtain it, Peace is indeed God's Greatest blessings, but unless it is peace with honour, it will be a false peace, said Rev. Tupling. He said he hopes that justice and mercy may characterize the decisions of every government and concluded that when all power groupings react to each other with consideration, and when those who have no power are treated as though they had, there will be peace on earth. Received into baptism was Garet Smith Macdonald, RR 2 Denfield. Flowers were in memory of Robert Barr.
