Instead of the Bible Society Building tour and film with Rev. J.C. Thomp- son the meeting was held at the church. Mrs. W.C. Tupling led in a devotional period with the theme of "Peace". Several ladies read scripture selections. A meditation by Dr. Norman Vincent Peale was read entitled "Get some Rhythm into it!" Someone once said that the rhythm of the universe is the heartbeat of God. It is this rhythm we seek in order to live in peace. The United Nations hymn was sung. A brief review of task of United Nations was followed by coloured slides on. U.N,I.C.E.F. It was pointed out that local governments contribute one and one-half times as much as we have given to meet the emergen' cy needs .of children The president, Mrs. M.H. Hodgins thanked those taking part before conducting the business meeting when plans were discussed for the annual bazaar to be held December 1, LADIES WIN WASHERS — Two Lucan ladies were fortunate enough to win dish washers in a recent contest sponsored by Inglis to celebrate the manufacture of one million washers.

T-A photo • • • • Advent is the season that begins the Church Year. It is a time to prepare for Christmas, the com- ing of God into the world in the person of Jesus Christ. The Every Family Visitation will continue until each family of the Parish is visited. On Thursday, November 30th there will be a celebration of the Holy Communion, This is St. An- drews day, and he is the patron saint of Missionaries, It was he who brought his brother Peter to Jesus. So the women of the Church meet to participate in the Holy Communion on his day. St. James' Anglican Church At the recent meeting of St. James Cemetery Board it was decided to have the ornamental evergreens trimmed, the fence repaired at the road and a new fence put around the Cemetery Ask no charge in driver course A delegation, representing the Middlesex County Safety Association asked the Middlesex County Board of Education to make Driver Education available to all eligible secondary school students at no fee and if possible, as an optional credit course. Trustees agreed to investigate and report on the cost of such a plan. In other business, the board approved a 1972-73 school year instructional skating program for Lobo and London township schools. Instruction to be given at the new Ilderton arena will be financed as a public service by the Ilderton Lion's Club. It is expected that 859 students from grades III to VIII will take part in the program. The Board also approved in principle an experimental grade VII French course for 1973-74 at CerilenniM, Prince Andrew and Oxbow schools under the direction of Prof. W.E. Kieser, of Althouse College of Education, Plans were made to insulate the cemetery chapel, and install eavetroughs. In the Spring the new range is to be completed and the gravestones are to be sup- ported where needed. At the service Sunday Rev. R. Carson preached on the Problem of Wealth. He said Christianity is a materialistic religion. All the stories in Luke concerning wealth extol the good steward who puts his money to work to make more money. The love of money is condemned such as the foolish man who tore down his barn and was going to rest and live on his stores. So Mr. Carson said ascetism or self-denial is not the answer, He said people need to be able to look at the situation critically and analytically and discover where they are. Then they need to adopt the 5 percent church giving so that the Church will not have to spend so much time on the need for money and will be able to spend time on evangelism and social service, Pe4400/44 Mrs. Sheridan Revington, Mrs. John Park,Mrs. Jack Murdy and Mrs. Ken Carter were among the many who attended the bazaar and tea held Wednesday at the McCormick Home, London.

Sorry, but no forms will be accepted after November 25, It's up to you - if you have lost or mislaid the form give the lads at the bar a call on the telephone and let them have the informa- tion required.
