Even if you don't pay income taxes you may benefit from the Ontario Government's new Property Tax Credit Plan, but you must apply by filling in a 1972 Income Tax Return. You'll find a special mauve claim form just for that purpose in the 1972 income tax kit. An explanation of the plan is right on the form. The new Property Tax Credit Plan provides greater benefits for more—the elderly, roomers, boarders,and low income families. If you paid property taxes or rent last year, you may be eligible. Pick up a tax return kit at any post office, if you haven't already got one. And send in both the tax return and the mauve claim form. But do it quickly—remember returns and claims are to be filed by April 30th. Your federal District Taxation Office will be glad to answer any questions you might have. The Ontario Property Tax Credit Plan: we thought of it, but we'd like you to get the credit. Ontario Hon. John White Hon. William G. Davis Hon. Allan Grossman Treasurer Premier Minister of Revenue 4 J At the Learning for Lent series sponsored by Lucan United Church Women, a regular part of the program is Bible Study, conducted by Rev, W.C. Tupling. This Bible study ties in with the second and third phases of Key 73, the cooperative evangelistic program sponsored by the majority of the Christian chur- ches of North America. The second phase of Key 73 is "Calling our Continent to the Word of God", and the third phase is "Calling our Continent to the Resurrection." The theme for the Bible Study is "The Road to Calvary"; and the themes for the five studies are: "Facing the Cross", "Sharing the Cross","An Anointing in Bethany", "The Question of Authority", and "The Kingwho wouldn't be". The last study session will be conducted by Rev. Morley Clarke of London, field representative for the Division of Mission in Canada, in conjunction with Mr. Tupling. By SW DALEY Here is a record of which every member of the Royal Canadian Legion can be justly proud. Since 1950 a total of 991 Bursary and Scholarships valued at over $423,500.00 have been awarded to the children of veterans by the Ontario Command and Ladies Auxiliary to the Ontario Com- mand, The Royal Canadian Legion. How about that!! Children of veterans who wish to take ad- vantage of the Legion bursary and scholarship program are requested to get in touch with, their local Branch of the Legion. Applications must reach Ontario COmmand, TOronto prior to June, 1973. If you are interested just contact a member of your local branch who will pet you on the right track. "A typical Canadian is one Who has just driven home from an Italian movie in his Gentian car, is sitting on Spanish furniture, drinking Brazilian coffee for- tified with Irish whisky, Out of an English bone china cup, and with hie Japanese ballpoint pen is writing his Member of Parliament protesting that imports are ruining his 'business."

There has been enthusiastic participation by the ladies, and a renewed interest in the message that the Bible has for Christians of today. The version used for study is the "Good News for Modern Man" translation, available in paperback from the Canadian Bible Society, + + + The fifth and final session of the series will be held April 11 at the church. Arts and crafts classes concluded at the fourth meeting, April 4. One of the highlights of the final session will be the sing- along with Rev. Clarke and his guitar, a visitation break, when those attending will have an opportunity to speak with him, and the final session of "People participation in Key 73", against Lambeth for the B Trophy. This is very entertaining hockey - give the kids a break and attend a few games and cheer them along.

C, Tupling. "Instant" flowers appeared in the pre-kindergarten, as "Learning for Lent" boys and girls again wielded paint brushes. First appeared the little green shoots which immediately stretched forth to many colored blooms. The theme for the five weeks is "Growing in God's World". The first day each child was measured, and painted the proper size and shape on in- dividual sheets of paper. Names like elbow, ankle and shoulder, became familiar to all, It was noted that even hair grew and some had been to the barber shop for hair cuts already. The art of cutting and pasting became somewhat less difficult as plates of good food in pictures were assembled and a "thank you" prayer pasted on, The seeds left soaking had burst open their black skins and some pushed out a sprout so each child planted his own in a pot of earth. Some seeds are good for eating and the small dry corn kernels "exploded" in the electric fry pan and grew snow white, plump, and tasty when sampled at snack time. Children's pets are growing too. Playful puppies have become big dogs and action songs, rhymes and pictures have taught them about kittens and bunnies too, And so they continue! Children are alert to change and growth even at three and four years of age and are already eager for progress. Next attention will be turned to "crippled children." An offering will be taken for Bunny Bundle. Lucan. Village Council learned Monday night that it is going to cost approvimately $28,000 to replace and lower the water drain on Alice SL from Main St. to county road 47. Engineer Keith Nauman told council members that there are three methods of determining the cost sharing for the project. It is county policy to pay for 50 per- cent of labor and equipment costs, or a total of $8,370. The county, in turn, will be subsidized for half of this by the Ministry of Transportation and Corn- Local author passes away A local, well-known author, Mrs. Clarence G. Lewis, the former Jennie K. Raycraft, Lucan passed away in St. Mary's Hospital, London, March 29, 1973 in her 74th year, She is survived her husband, and was the mother of Mrs. Willis (Jean) Brown, Streetsville, Mrs. Maurice (Marie) Campbell, London, Fred Lewis, Denfield and Robert Lewis, deceased, (1966). She was the sister of Mrs. Andrew (Mary) Carter, Exeter, and Lewis Raycraft, Clandeboye. She is also survived by eight grand-children. Mrs. Lewis spent the past three years in St. Mary's Hospital, as the result of a stroke which left her speechless. She was, however, intensely in- terested in local history, and in addition to writing many articles in "Looking over Western Ontario" for the London Free Press, she wrote four books. They were entitled "Birr and Beyond" for Birr WI in 1958; "Shure an' this is Biddulph", for Biddulph township councilin 1964; "Luck of Lucan" for Centennial in 1967; and "Llynden Shire" for London township in 1967. The funeral' service was held March 31, 1973 from the C. Haskett and Son Funeral Home, Lucan, with Rev. William Tupling of Lucan United Church officiation. Interment was in St. James Cemetery, Clandeboye. ,Pallbearers were John Mcllhargey, Bernard Benn, Armond Kernick, Paul Trudgen, Ken Liddell and Emiel De Block. Flower bearers were Don McComb, George Young, Gordon Jones and Bob Coughlin. Peitdomaid Sunday visitors with Mrs. Catharine Fischer were Mr. & Mrs. Ray Fischer, Mrs, Joseph Mordush and Charlene all of London and Mr. & Mrs. Wm. Fischer, Catharine and Chris of Komoka. Mrs. Ann Kish is staying with her Sister, Mrs. Vi Emery, recuperating from an illness which had placed her in St, Joesphs Hospital, London. Mr. & Mrs. Bill Hodgins have returned from a two-week vacation in Florida. They toured Disney land; silversprings,where they took a tour in a glass bottom boat; Cypress Gardens, where they saw a water show, and Bush Garden where they rode on a train through a park where all the animals run loose in their natural surroundings. Owing to ill health, Miss Ross of the McCormick home, for- merly of Lucan, is now a patient in St. Mary's Hospital, London. On March 25, Rev. J. Warden of the Birr United Church service baptized Katherine Melissa Garrett, four month-old daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Jack Garrett. Following the ceremony Mr. & Mrs. W.W. Garrett, grandparents, held a family dinner party for 13 relatives who were present at the ceremony. Mrs. Alistair Sweeny has returned from California after the death of her grandmother, Mrs. Cayley. rnunication. This would leave the village's share at $19,630. Of more benefit to the village would be another method of determining cost-sharing, based on Ministry policy. In this case, the Ministry and the county would share the cost of 60 percent of labor and materials (or $7,422 each) leaving the village to pay $13,156. Reeve Ivan Ilearn stated however, that he thought it was quite unlikely that the county would deviate from its normal policy and that consequently, the county would not agree to this latter method. Part of the reason behind the seemingly high cost to the village stems from the fact that there are certain phases of the project that the county does not feel obligated to subsidize, One such aspect is the locating of a new hydrant at the corner of Alice and Beech Streets. This would cost council about $1,000 with no subsidy. There was considerable discussion on the need for another hydrant there. Mr. Nauman told council that if they want it, now would be an ideal time to locate it. Councillor Harry Wraith said, however, that he didn't "see how it would help us much", Councillor William Mathers said he thought "it would be a good convenience, just to have it", In the end, council members decided to call for installation of the appropriate connections, and they will supply their own hydrant, which will cut costs somewhat, Council discussed a similar phase of the project involving the installation of pipes and a new valve leading toward the railroad tracks at the fourth concession at an estimated cost of $1,200, with no county subsidy, "The principle of having another way of feeding the south end of town is good," said Councillor Elizabeth Goddard, and council agreed to spend the extra money. Mr. Nauman was requested to submit the plan to the county. Council was also visited by Cecil Lewis concerning plans for a special garbage pick-up to be made in May, Mr. Lewis con- ducted the special pick-up last year, but it took his crews four days to complete the job, two days longer than anticipated. Councillors agreed that there probably would be less "special" garbage this year, but could reach no immediate terms of agreement with Mr. Lewis. It was finallly decided to combine the services of the town truck with those of Mr. Lewis. Town employees will attempt to pick up stones and limbs and to dispose of them with the village truck. Council then agreed to pay Mr. Lewis $50 a load to pick up and dispose of the balance of the special garbage. Tentative collection dates were set for May 8 and 11. Because the municipal office is only open from 2 to 5 p.m., and it is inconvenient for some people to pay their water bills during that time, council decided to start letting the bank collect water Sunshine members listen to readings A meeting of the Sunshine Club was held in the Masonic Hall last Thursday night with 18 members answering the roll call. Mrs. Olga Bond presided. A progressive euchre was held with winners: Cecil Robb, mens high; Margaret Allen, ladies low; Ben Kelly, mens lone hands; Marg Carter, ladies low; Geo McCallum, mens low; Mary' McCarthy, ladies low. Readings were given by Mary McCarthy and Irene Egan. Midgets advance in Shamrock play The Lucan midgets have ad- vanced to the final round of the Shamrock "B" playoffs and will meet Lambeth in a best-of-three series for the championship. Wednesday, Lucan edged Exeter 3-2 to gain the right to participate in the finals. Lucan scored one goal in each period to get the victory. Bob Cornish scored in the first period on a long shot with assists going to Jeff Culbert and Pat Holland. Culbert made the score 2-0 midway through the second session on a play started by Holland, in the final frame, Culbert and Holland combined to set up captain Dave Smith with the winning goal. Brian Taylor was the marksman on both Exeter scores. bills. Consequently, effective April 1, 1973, all village water bills are to be paid at the Bank of Montreal, Council received a letter from the LOBO informing them that as of April 9, the Lucan outlet has been granted permission to open six days per week, plus Friday night. At the same, time, the Liquor store submitted a request asking to erect a sign which would hang perpendicular to the store front, and thus out over the sidewalk, The sign itself is made of light plastic, There was some question of the safety of the proposed construction method, however. The sign is to have no guide wires, but is fastened in two places to the store, After discussing the possible safety hazards involved, councillors decided to defer a decision until they can study the appropriate bylaw, Council requested the Ministry of the Environment to bill the village on the actual sewage flow through the pumping station at the lagoon, rather than on an estimated flow. This second Situation could get very eon- fusing, said Reeve Hearn, because there is such a difference between the amount the village takes in from the ratepayers and what it actually costs, and Please turn to page 1.0A OPP investigate only one accident The only accident of the week investigated by officers of the Lucan detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police occurred in the early morning hours of Sunday, Involved in A collision at the corner of Main and George streets in Lucan were vehicles driven by Lawrence Hotson, 155 Wellington street, Lucan and Gary Thomas McFalls, 165 Main street, Lucan.
