Thomas and a passenger Linda Cassiday, also of Huron Park suffered minor injuries, Damage to the Thomas vehicle was estimated at $250 by Constable J. A. Wilson. The unknown vehicle being sought by police' is believed to be a yellow Chevrolet pickup truck, possibly a 1975. Vehicles driven by Robert Start on arena roof After a long delay due to ex- treme winter weather conditions construction of the Lucan arena is continuing. Reeve Ivan Hearn said Monday that work on the trusses would be completed within a day or two and he hoped workmen would be able to begin on the roof by mid- week. Hearn said the delay had made some change in construction plans and priorities. The cement block walls will now be built up only part way to allow the seats to be constructed. As soon as work is completed on the arena proper construction of the hall will be started. The reeve said he expected everything, but the front of the building could be completed by November 1. Campaign chairman Larry Hotson said $182,000 of the needed $245,000 in public subscriptions has been realized. Rowe, Willowdale and Donald Kellestine, RR 5, Goderich collided Sunday at 6,20 p.m. on Highbury Avenue at Concession 9 in London township. Constable James Craig listed damages at $350. Constable N. A. Campbell estimated damages at $1,900 Monday at 9 a.m. when vehicles driven by Rosemary Cronyn, Toronto and Lawrence Leitch, Lucan were in collision on High- way 4, just east of the Clandeboye curve. As the result of an investigation by officers of the Lucan detach- ment of the Ontario Provincial Police, a 21 year-old youth, Yvon J. St. Amour has been charged with an offence under the Nar- cotic Control Act. Wednesday morning a number of officers of the detachment conducted a raid on an apartment at 318 Beech street in Lucan and Amour was apprehended. A quantity of marijuana was seized. Friday morning at 2.30 a.m. Constable J. A. Wilson and Constable W. R. Disher ap- prehended a vehicle on County road 16, east of Highway 4, It was reported stolen earlier in Clinton, Four suspects were taken into custody at the time. Criminal charges have been laid against Randolph Fear, Clinton and Robert Lillycrop, John Lillicrop and Ronald Morningstar, all of London. Two residents of the House of Concord in London township have been charged with break and enter in connection with an in- cident at the Home Saturday. Investigation by Constable G, N. Wilcox revealed Robert John Maxwell and Kevin Frederick McFadden were attempting to break in to the canteen. They will appear in court at a later date. Complaints regarding the dog problem in the village of Lucan continue to reach council. At Monday's regular meeting, . clerk Ed Melanson read letters from two residents with the same problem of being kept awake during the night by the barking of dogs, Councillor Larry Hotson in- dicated he received a similar verbal complaint. Reeve Ivan Hearn said he has been in touch with Bob Tordoff, the new director of the London Humane Society, which has a contract to provide animal control in Lucan. Hearn said Tordoff is currently drafting new proposals which he hoped would overcome the many problems encountered recently. The reeve said he hoped arrangements could be made with the Humane society for patrols in the early morning and evening hours when more dogs appear to be running at large. " A land severance application from Waghorn and Stephens of St. Marys to sever three lots along Elm. street from property formerly owned by Ernie Ross was given sanction by council. Approval will be given pending a satisfactory agreement of services and liability of any damages incurred by the developer. Reeve Ivan Hearn reported that sewers were being currently installed in the Loyens sub- division. Hearn continued, "Connections are going in to all lots. It looks as if everything is going according to Hoyle." Council has authorized James MacLaren,, a consulting firm to begin preparation of a new official plan for the village and also made application for a community study grant from the Province. Elizabeth Howson of MacLaren's has started the research of background in- formation. After this preliminary work has been completed council will decide on the extent of public involvement as far as the number of meetings are concerned. The Lucan Legion's public speaking contest held Friday was well attended by interested parents and friends, and I must say everyone was pleased with the caliber of the subject material chosen, and the presentation. These youngsters must have spent a great deal of time doing research.

Once upon a time three people, a Scotsman, an Irishman and Jew bought a pub. The Scotsman said he wanted all chairs covered with plaid, the Irishman said okay, providing it's an Irish plaid. The Jewish chap said he wanted them covered with backsides, then they would be in business. The same applies to your Branch of the Legion, we have a great Branch, so why not use it. The St. Patrick's Day Dance will soon be upon us, me lads and colleens, so be polishing up yer dancin' shoes and be readin' yourself fer the toime of yer lives at the grand celebration to be held at the Lucan Legion—Now don't be forgettin' to lay away Saturday, March 19th, for my gracious this be the day to be headin' to the Grand Hall of the Lucan Legion so that all Irishmen Progress on renovations Good progress was reported by Alex Young on the renovations for the "Drop-in Centre" being constructed in the basement of the Masonic Hall.

A letter from provincial treasurer Darcy McKeough asked council to continue financial restraint practices despite a better financial outlook for 1977. McKeough indicated the Ontario Municipal Board would continue a critical outlook on capital expenditures and asked councils to keep the ratepayers in mind when setting the 1977 budgets. A letter from the Ontario Ministry of the Environment suggested that the bacterial sampling system used for the Lucan waterworks system should be increased and a daily measure of the chlorine content should be made. Works superintendent Bert Thompson said the Middlesex Board of Health carried out tests twice each week, and their colleens can suitably mark the occasion. Members of Branch 540 are reminded we will be the hosts of the Zone A-5 Meeting' Sunday, March 13. Make it a point to be present and assist the President in welcoming the visiting delegates to Friendly Branch 540. During the sessions our ladies will be entertained in the Lounge, following the sessions a hot smorgasbord dinner will be available. Sounds like a good do. Make it a point to be present. And that's 30 for this week— Remember—Rights and Privileges are balanced by Duties and Responsibilities. Women of the Lucan com- munity attended the World Day of Prayer Friday afternoon in St. Patrick's Church, with C.W.L. president, Anita Giesen, leading the service on the theme "Love in Action". Readers and those giving prayers, included Marion Vanesta, Mary Van Geel, Mabel Froats, Becky Brewster, Amelia Graham, Edith Murdy, Barbara Carter, Ethel Donaldson, Marlene Degraw, Joan Cun- ningham and Shirley Ryan. The Bible Reading was given by Corinna Reymer. The guest speaker Rev. Mary Mills of the Kirkton, Granton, Saintsbury Parish, was in- troducted by Marlene Degraw. Speaking on the theme Rev. Mills told of the opening of some homes in England to P.O.W.'s right after the end of the war which cer- tainly was carrying out the theme "Love never faileth" the love between God and Man, Man and God and man and man, "Man walked with God in the cool of the evening", but the fellowship was broken in the Garden, however the relationship was still there and is here today. Mrs. Mills mentioned the work of Jean Vanier with his "wounded people" as he calls them. Never before have we had so many opportunites to show "love in action" because of the closeness of the whole world through the communications media. The offering was received by Ann Hartman and Annie Giesen, and dedicated by Anita Giesen, Rhea Vanderloo pronounced the Benediction. Ann and Frank Heenan sang a duet to guitar accompaniment and also accompanied some of the hymns. For the other hymn Frank played the organ. The service was Written by Christian women of the German Democratic Republic and produced by the Women's Inter- Church Council of Canada,
