Leaving the family farm is never easy but Ross Hargreaves is looking forward to his new career with enthusiasm. A dairy farm owner since 1951, Ross is excited about his position as minister of Thames Road United Church, beginning August 7. The decision to enter the ministry has been long and hard but the decision had to be made. "It's not easy to leave since I've spent all these years building up the farm. I thought I just couldn't do it at this age but it took momentum and grew and grew", said Ross. Ross became a licenced lay preacher in 1963 but the decision to enter the ministry came in the spring of this year, "Now that I look back, I think it's been there since 1963 but I wasn't ready to accept the call or responsibility until this spring". Adjusting to a new career and a nev community at an age of "39 years plus" would discourage many people but Ross is op- timistic about adjusting to the Thames Road community. "I lean towards rural people at this point because they're the people I relate to and understand, and I feel they would understand me ", said Ross. "I had a couple of opportunities to go into a small town set up but I felt this would be a better charge at this point...I want to be a rural minister to rural people". Born in Ingersoll, Ontario, Ross has lived his entire life in the Sweaburg area with the exception of four years overseas during the Second World War, in which hs saw active duty. Ross was stationed in England, Belgium and Germany and was part of the occupational army for nine months. Ross has two older, married daughters, Coyla Jean and A Rosalind, and a younger son, Ted, who is parts manager at John Deere, Green Acres. Involvement in his work is one of Ross' hobbies and his past activities prove that fact. Ross has been very active in the 4-H movement as a leader for twelve years and a past president. His other activities include a past presidency in the Oxford Holstein Breeders Association and a membership in the Masons since 1950. The decision to enter the ministry means Ross will be leaving the family home but "it doesn't have quite the effect on them (the children) that it would if they were younger. The family has known that I've been in- terested in it for a long time". One crash in GB area Pinery detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police reported one traffic accident this week. Constable R.L. Hodge in- vestigated a car-bicycle collision July 25, in Pinery Provincial Park. A vehicle driven by Dale Box, London, and a bicycle operated by Paul Larocque, R.R. 1 Mt. Brydges, collided causing a total estimated damage of $150. Pinery detachment reported 28 charges under the Liquor Licence Act, ten Provincial Parks Act charges, eight Highway Traffic Act charges, and five charges under the Narcotic Control Act. Grand Bend detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police reported 47 Highway Traffic Act charges, 33 charges under the Liquor Licence Act, 11 Criminal Code charges and six Narcotic Control Act charges. August 4, 1977 Page Besides leaving his home area, Ross will also face four years of education before becoming an ordained minister. Ross will take one year general arts and one year theology at Huron College, University of Western Ontario. The second and third year theology must be taken at Emmanuel College, Toronto. There is a train, which tran- sports students from London to Toronto Tuesday and back again Thursday so the theology courses in Toronto should not interfere with ministerial duties, said Ross, As a lay preacher, Ross may perform funeral services but an ordained minister must perform the marriage and communion sacraments, Reverend Bert Daynard, Staffa, will exchange with Ross for communion ser- vices at Thames Road. Ross and his wife, Coyle, plan to move into the Thames Road manse Tuesday, and will be welcomed to the Church at an introduction service Friday, August 5, at Thames Road United Church. Ross began farming on his own in 1951 after working with his father for twelve years on the farm. Ross' oldest son, Dwight, 24 will take over the 38-head . holstein operation after being a full partner for three years. Sailing takes special know-how. Learn from an expert.

An 11-year-old London girl, Ottewell blast Continued from front page' respect for Ottewell if he had come to him personally to air his criticism. Ottewell then re-entered the discussion by suggesting that the fact the Heritage people had not been notified of the removal of the town hall furniture was Shaw's fault. He also asked if the Mayor was aware that Mrs. Huntley had apologized to the Chief of Police for her remarks. Shaw said that didn't surprise him. • The Mayor also said that if he was supposed to tell the Heritage people about the' removal of the furniture he apologized for not doing so, "What did you apologize for?" Ottewell asked. "I'm apologizing to you for misunderstanding you," Shaw replied. Ottewell then asked if he would also apologize to the Chief for remaining quiet when he was being criticised by Mrs. Huntley. "Definitely not," Shaw replied. Ottewell then said he would accept Shaw's apology. "Is there anything else?" Shaw asked of Ottewell. "That's enough for tonight," the councillor replied. Hensall Arena Fund B. P.
