Says Mrs. B. Boekestein from Dundas, Ontario And countless other people are saying the same thing. You can now be assured of an ample supply of dependable home canning lids from Bernardin - the name you can trust for trouble-free seals in home canned foods. A name that also means savings in time and expense. Bernardin lids help you guard against spoilage two ways. 1. The big feature is the 'snap'. Listen for it. When the lid is properly sealed and the jar heated, the Snap Lid snaps down in res- ponse to the vacuum inside. 2. However, if you weren't around to hear the 'snap', simply look at the lid. If it curves slightly inward, you know you have a perfect seal. And all of this doesn't happen by accident. It happens because Bernardin has the only lid in the industry using a live latex sealing ring around the edge. The result. . . a perfect seal. Insist on Bernardin next time you're at your dealers. Our lids are available in a complete range of sizes. BERNARDIN The dependable name in home banning.

Our examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing stan- dards, and accordingly included such tests and other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly the financial position of the Corporation of the Township of Bid- dulph as at December 31st, 1976 and the results of its operations for the year then ended, in accordance with accounting prin- ciples generally accepted for Ontario municipalities applied, after giving retroactive effect to the changes referred to in note 7 to the financial statements, on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.

No matter what their age, Joint service for churches Several Anglican's joined with members of the United Church for the service on Sunday when Rev. Keith Brown continued his series on the book of Psalms. Basing his comments on Psalm 3, Mr. Brown said it was written when David fled from Absalom and tells of man's inhumanity to man, which is still as prevalent as in the time of David. David prayed about his troubles and left them with the Lord in confidence that He would take them unto Himself and God encouraged and strengthened David and gave him peace, So God will give us these same things and help us work out our difficulties if we have the faith and trust to do His will. This is true worship and may God help us to worship Him in this way not only on Sunday, but all through the week. Debbie Lynn, Clandeboye was the guest organist and a quartette composed of Mrs. Clarence Hardy, Mrs. Keith Dickson, Mrs. Emerson Degraw and Mrs. GaryJones sang Malott's "Lord's Prayer" and "Amazing Grace". Their beautiful harmony added much to the service, Mrs. Roy Dykeman will be the guest organist next Sunday and will accompany the singing group "The Cornerstones". Flowers in the sanctuary, were from the funeral of the late Grant Hawkshaw, brother of Mrs. Roy Hodgins, and the sympathy of the members of the congregation is extended to Mrs. Hodgins.

Educational trip for area student Tami McRoberts, daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Ross McRoberts has recently returned from her stay in the Province of Quebec, on a "Bilingual Exchange". Tami was staying as a guest at the residence of Mr. & Mrs. Guy Germain, in Charlesbourg, Quebec. While in Quebec she took a cruise on the St. Lawrence, visited a ranger station and an ecology school in Duchesnay and took a tour to main tourist at- tractions. This tour included the Basilica, Montmorency Falls and Ile d'Orleans. A guided walk through "Old Quebec City" was also featured in the two weeks in Quebec. The exchange was a lot of fun and very educational for all its participants. Branch 540's annual children's party went off on schedule last Sunday, for a short time it ap-. peared as tho' the weather wouldn't co-operate - but ap- parently somebody up there likes us - and we all had a most en- joyable Sunday afternoon's en- joyment. There were childretis races, shoe throwing contests, tug-of- war. However in my opinion the most fun was the fresh egg tossing contest, it was simply amazing just how far one person could toss a fresh egg to another person without breaking it. Of course the team which tossed its egg the greatest distance was the winner, Some pictures were taken of the picnic and published in another area of this paper (I hope). We are pleased to note the horse shoe pits are getting use, they could be busier, come on over and enjoy a game or two - besides ITS FREE. Many thanks to my friends who wished me a Happy Birthday while at the Legion Saturday - The mishap occurred on High- way 4, just north of Mooresville, Constable J,A, Wilson estimated damages at $150. A vehicle driven by Scott McElroy, London suffered damages of $200 when it was Lina Abbott celebrates Miss Lina Abbott, former resident in Lucan and the T-A. correspondent for many years, celebrated her 90th birthday this past week. Among the many callers were Mr, & Mrs. Gilbert Bauer of Haslett, Michigan and Miss Helen de Coursey of Detroit. Other Michigan friends are coming on August 15. Miss Abbott also received a lovely yellow mum from Lucan friends, a miscellaneous bouquet from her nephew in B.C. and another one from the London Free Press for whom she is still a correspon- dent, and many, many cards. She will be among those for whom the August Birthday Party will be held at McCormick Home on the 15. Another way in which Miss Abbott celebrated was to to lead the service of worship, Sunday.
