Keith Brown based his sermon on Psalm No. 4 and asked the question "Do your troubles get you down, or can you rise above them as David in?" Psalm4 begins with a prayer and a plea to hear and answer him, and many times God came to David's rescue. When we sin, if we ask forgiveness, really meaning it, He will grant forgiveness and give us another chance. Mrs. Marilyn Dykeman was the guest organist and her daughter Karen sang a solo.

Record crowds attended the seventh annual Lucan Fair and they came from far and near and by all types of transportation. The long and excellent parade Sunday afternoon was held up a few minutes when a Canadian National Railways train decided to pass through Lucan. Crew members were able to get a quick peek at the parade as they headed for Granton. Features of the Fair which attracted in excess of close to 22,000 visitors over the three days were many and varied. The entertainment needs and ap- petites of all ages were catered to by the Lucan Lions, a large number of volunteers and all service clubs and groups in the area. Saturday's official attendance of 12,052 eclipsed any previous one day mark and the total of 21,952 is 6,805 higher than last year when rain occurred on two of the three days. Fair chairman Paul Dykeman said Tuesday "while it will be sometime until all accounting has been completed I expect we will have a net profit of about $30,000. A good portion of this money will be turned over to the Lucan arena building fund to assist in com- pleting the new facility." In continuing Dykeman said he wished to thank everyone who helped in making the Fair the success it was. He added, "It's impossible to thank everyone personally so I would like to say a loud 'thanks' to everybody who helped in any way. Their co-operation was tremendous and it's the main reason our event continues to be successful." Judges Isabelle Haskett, Stan Flood and Art Bell had a difficult chore in coming up with the winners in the parade which stretched the full route from Concession 4 to the arena. In fact, some parade entrants had already dispersed and were coming down the sidewalk while others were still only leaving the starting point. The best decorated float was entered by the Credi ton First Cub Pack. It was sponsored by Miller's Auto Wreckers. The Bryanston-Birr Optimist club took second prize and the Lucan Horseman's club was third. The best comic floats were entered by the Clandeboye Hillbillies, Ferlin Sovereign and Jim and Darlene Paton, Denise Hayter, Kim Hayter and Loys Melanson were judged best in the bestdecorated senior bicycles and junior prizes were taken by Shelley Johnson, Brian O'Neil and Lisa Huys. A large number of Lucan and area boys and girls participated in the Sunday afternoon talent show. The master of ceremonies was Big Al from CKCO in Kit- chener. In the junior division, Leslie Dykeman was the winner followed by Laurie St. Pierre and Bonnie Kooy while the senior winners were Tami McRoberts, Diana Verlinde and Pat Taziar: Taking intermediate honours were Cindy Taziar, Susan Vander Speck and Terri McRoberts.
