HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Exeter Times-Advocate, 1975-04-24, Page 23To speak on Bible Society Rev. Clare McGill will be the guest speaker at Lucan United Church, Saturday, April 26. The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. Rev. McGill has spent many years enabling the Tayals of the island of Taiwan, Republic of China, to read, understand and communicate the gospel. His first task among these aboriginal people was to analyse and reduce their language to a written form, Then, working closely with the Tayals, he published a language primer, a hymnbook, and spent many years translating the New Testament into their language, The final draft of the Tayal New Testament was delivered to the Bible Society in Taiwan just before the McGills left for furlough in July. It will be a great help to approximately 100 churches in this tribe of 20,000 people. A native of Glencoe, Ontario, Mr. McGill graduated from the University of Western Ontario and Westminster Theological Seminary. He did extensive study in linguistics before being ap- pointed to Taiwan by the Presbyterian Church in Canada in 1953. The McGills have lived in many locations in their attempt to be near or among the Tayals. In 1963 their home was destroyed by a flood. The Western Ontario district has assumed an $8,000 objective of the total $10,500 required for the printing of theNew Testament in Tayal, It is hoped that the people of Western Ontario will rise to the challenge of financing the translation by this minister of God from the district. Mr, McGill will speak and also show pictures, Men . . .

We're not talking about Eddie Shack. He may not be the smoothest looking skater that ever took to the ice, but he's known throughout the league as one of the fastest, strongest skaters in hockey, even today, after 18 years of hockey's bumps and grinds. Fast Eddie took years to learn how to be a real great performer and he works at it every day. Like Ed- die, we think Canadian plumb- ers are real great performers, even though most can't skate! It takes years of training to be- come a professional plumber. In fact, the average plumber Pumps & Softeners, Limited 680 Waterloo St. London, Ontario spends over 5 years just learn- ing his trade before he can step out as a first class plumber. On top of that, he's constantly go- ing to 'training camp' to keep up with changing technology. So when you use the service of your plumber, remember, he's spent considerable time learn- ing the ins, outs, and in-be- tweens of todays complex wa- ter systems.

Mr, Morgan is a retired widower who said that he gets tired sitting at home so he goes to the movies every day after breakfast. He figures he's spent 55,000 hours and at least $5,000 watching the silver screen during the past 25 years. This must be close to a world's record. Congratulations are the order of the day for Comrade Gladys Reilly, Branch 540 Auxiliary President and Comrade Archie who will be celebrating their ? wedding anniversary on Thur- sday, April 24.

New measures to assist veterans to purchase or rent homes were announced recently by the Minister of Veterans Affairs, the Hon. Daniel J. MacDonald. For veterans, DVA will give special assistance in addition to that available from Central Mortgage and Housing Cor- poration under the Assisted Home Ownership Program and the Non-Profit rental housing program. Veterans who qualify to buy a house under AHOP may receive a grant of up to $600 a year, in addition to CMHC's regular loans and interest-reducing grants. Veterans who would otherwise qualify for AHOP but are ex- cluded either because they have no children, or because they want to buy an existing house rather than a new one, can get the DVA grant of up to $600 but not the CMHC contributions. To qualify for the DVA grant, they must have an NHA insured loan from an approved lender and must not have owned a house in the previous 'three years.

Junior farmers to assist at fair The Lucan Junior Farmers held their April meeting in the Parish Hall of Holy Trinity Anglican Church on Wednesday evening. Roll call was answered by 13 members and 4 new members joined the group. Miss Wendy Elston, president of the Middlesex County Junior Farmers reported on county activities, The Provincial Bowling Tournament, was attended by Tom Hardy and Don Coughlin and the county hockey tour- -nament in Belmont , were both held on Saturday, April 5. In the latter event the Lucan Club had a team entered. At a previous meeting Brenda Haskett was nominated as Miss Middlesex and Mike Wraith as Mr. Middlesex, to compete against nominees from other clubs. Selection will be made at the spring dance, May 2, in the Lucan Arena. Members attended the "Membership Dance" at the Ilderton Curling Club on Saturday evening. Committee chairmen were chosen to assist the Lions at the Lucan Fair 75 and members were asked to bring ideas for future projects to the next meeting. Two suggestions were forthcoming at this meeting, another "50's Dance" and a Club Banquet. This assistance will make home-ownership possible for many veterans in the low or modest income levels who might not otherwise find it possible despite the existing favorable provisions of the AHOP plan. The increasing age of veterans makes good housing at low rentals economically and physically more practical for many than home-ownership. For this reason, as a further incentive to veterans' associations and other non-profit organizations to build or acquire such ac- commodation, DVA will provide a grant of 10 percent of capital costs - in addition to benefits provided by CMHC - for low rental projects designed primarily, but not necessarily exclusively, for the housing of veterans. In making the announcement to the House of Commons, Mr, MacDonald said it is con- templated that administration of the new measures will be carried out by CMHC with support from officials of the Department of Veterans Affairs. Additional funding required for subsidy purposes will be disbursed by CMHC from resources supplied by Veterans Affairs, Mr. MacDonald added he hoped all necessary arrangements will be concluded soon in order that action to im- plement the program may begin at an early date. and that's 30 for this week - remember - You never get a second chance to make a good impression.
