Alcohol Theme
"Alcohol& Drug Concerns' was
the theme for the service in the
Lucan United Church on. Sunday,
when Mr. Larry GilHans, a
layman from Scarborough, who
has a great concern for the abuse
of alcohol and drug use today,
spoke on this subject.
Mr. Gillians said we live in "a
chemical age" with additives in
practically everything we eat and
Use, and we need the chemicals,
but as we move into our daily
lives we experience tensions, and
this is where the test comes.
Some of us are unable to cope
with the chemical age and take
combinations of drugs to over-
come this inability to cope. The
individual who has sound
Christian values is needed more
than ever in the secular society.
He indicated that ads should be
changed to point out the
derelects, rather than the "good"
times. He concluded with the
statement that Alcohol & Drug
Concerns needs our prayers and
our financial support. Some of the
latter was forthcoming in a
special collection for this pur-
pose. Anniversaries were an-
nounced for the charge - Clan-
deboye May 30 at 11 a.m. with Dr.
Alan Meredith of Ilderton as
guest speaker, when the Lucan
service will be withdrawn, and
Lucan June 6 at 11:15 a.m. with

Paul Madden, who attended a
recent youth conference spon-
sored by A&DC read one of the
scriptures.

Good attendance
In spite of the fact that it was
still in the midst of the Stanley
Cup hockey playoffs, a good
attendance was present at the
Ailsa Craig United Church last
Sunday evening to enjoy the
Peace of Mind Singers.
The fifty voice choir sang with
great enthusiasm and zest,
uplifting the spirits of all in at-
tendance. Throughout the
program they displayed a spirit
of happiness and exuberance
both in music and movement.
The young people's choir,
under the direction of Dr. Roy
Whitehead and Mrs. Betty
Cornish, organized about five
years ago. The' majority of the
members belong to the Mount
Zion United Church in the city of
London.
Along with the choir, ten in-
strumentalists, including two
flutes, a trumpet and even a
harmonica added greatly to the
musical, "Light Shine" which is
based on the beatitudes.
