The maximum rent increase for such agreements cannot exceed eight pet- cent of the last full month's rent charged prior to August 1, 1975, unless the landlord obtains the approval of a rent review officer or the landlord and tenant agree on a higher rate of rent. SH:buld alandlbrd and tenant wish to agree briVri incrase in rent above the eight per cent guideline, during the period July 30 to December 31, 1975, they must complete a rent increase agreement, substantially in the form below, no later than January 17 1976. Copies of such agreements should he retained by both parties. The form below, or a copy of it, may be used. lf, after having signed such a rent increase agreement, the tenant wishes to revoke the agreement, the tenant may do so within 30 clays of the date of the agreement by completing a statement of revocation similar to the one at the bottom of the form below. By signing a rent increase agreement, the tenant waives the right to dispute the increase in rent agreed upon during the above period and waives the right to collect a rebate of rent as provided for in the act other than the amount of rebate, if any, stated in the agreement. Such a rent increase agreement does not apply to the rental rate for any period after December 31;1975, and does not constitute a waiver of the tenant's right to appeal the amount of rent charged after that date. Nor does it relieve the landlord of his obligation to obtain the approval of a rent review officer to charge rent after that date that is more than eight per cent in excess of the rent charged in the last full month the premises were rented prior to August 1,1975, Future advertisements will outline where literature is available on Rent Review, the location of offices as they are opened and where forms will be available.

Christmas Eve guests with Mr. & Mrs. H. McDonald were Mr, & Mrs, Gordon Longman and Mrs. McDonald's brother Robert of Mississauga,. Other guests over the holiday were Mrs. McDonald's aunt and uncle Mr. 8z Mrs. Wilber McLinchey.

Merle Law. after it happened," Robert adds, "But the whole thing just disheartened us, we never got there." But much to the Tindall's surprise, Jenny's date with a bullet was reprieved. It turned out a vet in the vicinity of the accident appeared immediately and decided the Seaforth veterinarian clinic could do something to help the crippled animal. "At first they thought they should shoot her," Robert ex- plains. "But the vet wrapped her leg up right away, Which was an important act because it stopped the swelling. "I didn't want to take her to the clinic in the horse trailer because we'd unloaded her and I didn't want to try to re-load her. Two guys in a truck stepped up and said they would take her to the clinic, "I offered them money but the driver said well, if I can't do that for you I'm not worth much, I still don't know their names but they were fine people," At Seaforth Veterinary Clinic they operated on Jenny, set her leg and supported it by as cast of plaster paris. Robert says the doctor took x-rays, checked out the results with the Seaforth hospital for humans (nobody at the vet clinic knew how to read x-rays) came back smiling, an,' said, "they'd try." "We all felt a brood mare was better than no mare," Alexia says, explaining the fact Jenny will never be a show-star now, Of course it was very uncertain whether they'd even have a brood mare for the first few weeks. "After we had the leg set in Seaforth we brough her back to 'the farm," Robert says, "Doctor Amos, a'vet who lives in Kirktori,v he's just like one of the famile took over. He said we shouldn't count on anything." "He said he'd never known a horse to recover from a broken, leg," Alexia adds. "He'd tried to mend a calf's leg once but the bone rotted in the cast," Robert says. "It was pitiful to watch her try to get up for the first few days," Robert continues, "It broke your heart, but after the fifth day she seemed tti do better, she wasn't in pain. We put Judy, her mother, in the stall right next to her." For the next seven weeks Jenny was pampered. Extra bedding was placed in her stall so the cast wouldn't get wet, Students from Centralia Agricultural College came to examine and take pictures of the filly as she healed. The vet, Dr. Amos, began to be optimistic about her recovery. "We got a little worried in the sixth week though," Robert says, "We thought there might be something wrong because Jenny started to chew at her cast. We thought the bone was rotting." Happily, Jenny wasn't rotting; she was just irritated by the chaffing of the cast on her skin. Now, on the eve of a new year, and a month after the cast was removed Jenny's leg is healing nicely. She won't ever be a show horse again - the thickened bone and slight bow to her leg caused by the accident destroy her chances' for more red ribbons. But the Tindalls don't care. Jenny still has the white strip down her face, the highly held head, the muscular body and the spirit of her breeding - traits Robert hopes she'll pass on to her offspring when she's bred, And for a family as involved with horses as the Tindall's are; having Jenny up and about makes the holiday season merry indeed, "A brood mare is better than no mare at all," Four injured Christmas day Wain Personals Kitchener, collided, Lucan ambulance was dispatched and took all four passengers to hospital. COnst. Wileox estimated damage at $3,200. Christmas Eve On. concession by Gordan Bagley It was about 5 a.m, that mor- ning last September 19, when the Tindall family, RR 1, Lucan, rose to prepare five of their seven Belgian workhorses for the show to be held in Seaforth, It was a day that began with great expectation and ended in heartfelt disaster that had inbuilt , reprieve. The Tindall's almost lost blond, brown eyed Jenny, who stands about five foot two, weighs around 500 pounds and suffered a broken leg when her mother stepped on her. Jenny's mother is an 1800 pound Belgain workhorse, 18 hands high. Despite the hour everyone was in good spirits, Robert Tindall, his daughters, Nancy 14 and Marylou, 13; their brother Robert junior, even Alexia, Robert's wife, who at first opposed her husband raising horses for show but later learned to love the idea; all of them, were looking forward to the Seaforth fair. They ate a hasty breakfast and hustled out to the horse barn where they washed the big draught animals down, braided their manes, and plaited their tails into neat buns, Some of the preparations were Lucan United Church The Sacrament of Holy Bap- tism was celebrated Sunday morning in Lucan United Church when George Robert Paul, son of Randy and Margaret Paul and Brent Philip Herbert, son of Brian and Luanne Herbert, were christened. George Paul, one of the grandfathers, and a member of Session received the babies into the church family and on behalf of the U.C.W. Mrs. Madden presented each baby with a Bible picture book. Mrs. Madden also led in a joyous hymn sing in place of a choir number. Guest organist was Olive Donaldson of Arva United Church who also ac- companied Mrs. Madden on the piano. Rev. Ewart Madden in the children's story quizzed the little people regarding the candles in the candelabra and likened them to the many nationalities in the world, all different but all with hearts like ours which are like the wicks of the candles. The Message "Simeon - Quietly, Expectantly Waiting" was taken from Ltike and. Mr. Madden Stated that Simeon saw in Jesus the long-awaited Messiah, He was in tune with this spirit of God and saw Jesus as the Saviour. Ile said we should "take time to be Holy", to be quiet and keep the channels to God open. Christmas Eve Vesper Servite Vive young people, together with Rev. Ewart Madden already complete. The $5,000 harnesses, hand constructed by the Amish in St. Marys, had been packed into the horse trailer the night before, They were ready to take the Seaforth judges by storm; especially with Jenny, a 3 month old filly who had already won three first prizes in her class three times out. That was around 5:00 a.m. By 2:00 p,m. that afternoon the vet told Robert senior Jenny should be shot and put out of her misery, This is what happened. They were coming into Seaforth when a car forced Robert Tindall to come to an abrupt stop, So abrupt that Jenny's mother Judy, a member of the two teams Robert shows for love and someday profit (once he establishes a name for himself as a breeder of fine Belgians) stepped on her offspring in a frantic attempt to regain her balance. Jenny's right hind leg, just above her fetlock, could not take the stress exerted by her mother's 1800 pounds. When Robert went back to the trailer to see if everything was all right; his pride and joy, the second young Belgian he had ever bred and hoped to raise, stood on three legs. There was blood on the floor of the horse trailer. presented a very beautiful candlelight vesper service on Christmas eve, in Lucan United Church. Congregational carols, guitar and flute instrumentals, trumpet and organ numbers and soloist together with the spoken word illustrated "The World's Need of Jesus, in two parts "Birth" and "Effect". The young people taking part were organist, Douglas Barr; trumpet Glen Percy;, solo voice Judy McLellan; guitar and voice, Joe Neves; flute, Donna Walker. At the 11 p.m. Service of Holy Communion, Calvin Jackson, trumpeter from London, played "How Joyfully" and "0 Holy Night" with Mrs. Jim Robertson at the organ. Spoken words were given by Mr. Robertson and Rev. Ewart Madden, Mr. Madden was assisted in the Communion Service, taken at the altar rail, by Elder Mr. Alex J. Young, Pentecostal Church news Sunday morning at the Lucan Revival Centre Rev. Ray Brewster spoke from the book of Hebrews. He said Jesus Christ. came as God's final voice to mankind, prophets were no longer needed. God gives mankind His word to man because of the love Ile has for us. When God gave Jesus to us lie gave all that He had because Christ has all of God's qualities. In JeSUS all the powers Of heaven are. "I took Jenny's hock (perhaps you could call it the kneebone of a horse) in my hand and wiggled it, the area above her fetlock moved back and forth like a string, you could hear the bone grinding," Robert says. Everyone came to Jenny's rescue. This is not hard to un- derstand if you've ever loved horses - Robert Tindall has, since he was six and sat on his tricycle watching the men work their draught teams gouging out basements. "They hitched them up to something that worked like a big shovel," he says. "They didn't build basements as deep as they do now. You wouldn't believe what they could pull. I know what a draught horse can do." It was the biggness more than anything, the power, that cap- tured Robert's imagination. When he was older he worked for a $1 a day to help a farmer with his team, Still, it took him until 1972, 31 years after the days he rode his tricycle, to own a registered team of his own; to breed a team of his own. "The chances of a horse recovering from a broken leg are a 1,000 to one," Alexia says. "We were supposed to compete in the Exeter parade the day Sunday evening Miss Kate Graham and Mrs. John Armitage sang a duet called "In the Shelter of His Arms." Rev. R. Brewster spoke first John. He said if you love God, you'll love His people and follow His commandments. The highest form of freedom, Rev. Brewster continued, is to live in obedience to God, to do whatever God asks. Through this we will receive abundant life, We can receive faith through reading the Bible, and accepting the promises God gives,Without faith we can not live as Christians, we will be defeated, have depression. He ended by saying if we don't trust God we can't love God and we lose our relationship with Him. three, in West Nissouri, about three miles north. of Thorndale, a car driven by Phillip McCor- mack, RR 3, Thorndale, collided with a parked car owned by Donna Atkinson, also of RR 3, Thorndale, Const.

The Sweet Adelines, a group of singers of which many are from Lucan, were at Westminster Hospital, December 23, to en- tertain our CoMrades who are confined there due to illness. We in, Legion wish to thank these kind ladies for taking the time during this busy season to visit with our Comrades, bringing with them joy and happiness through songs and carols. It was my privilege to take Santa to Westminster Hospital on Christmas Day where he too visited our sick Comrades. It was a delight to see their faces light ,up with a smile as the Jolly Lad made his rounds. I'm sure Santa enjoyed making the visit as much as the veterans did receiving it.
