The team members and over 700 fans also had to wait until some adjustments were made on the public address system to get the proceedings underway. Other problems associated with the first hockey game in the roc centre included lengthy lineups for gate admission,s and the snack bar as there was an obvious need to iron out some problems in those two operations. However, it was the condition of the ice which created most of the problems and unfortunately resulted in poor brand of hockey. Both teams were plagued by the conditions, of course. The puck wouldn't slide on the sticky surface, some holes appeared and the paint off the red and blue lines was smeared over a wide area of the rink as well as hockey uniforms, Thanks extended to Lucan people Continuing the series on the book of James at the Sunday service in Lucan United Church, Rev. Keith Brown asked the question "Can we live as we please, so long as we have belief and faith, without fear of the consequences?" James clears up this question for us. Belief and faith by themselves never changed a human life. Only a living faith that we put into practice can save us. We must examine our faith in the light of James' words and make sure it is a living faith and put it to work for God. Mrs, David Park gave a "Minute talk" on the Manse, thanking the 40 people who worked, some a few hours, others"days, weeks and months. She made special mention of Stewart Park, who with his helpers made almost impossible repairs, Mention was also made of the contributions of the Quilters Group of a new vanity and mirror, as well as, a sub- stantial sum of money. A note was read from Craigholme Nursing Home conveying thanks for the gift of vegetables from the Thanksgiving service. This morning, Thursday, at 9;45 am the Prayer and Share Fellowship is meeting inthe C.E, wing and at 8 pm the couples' club will hold their monthly meeting, There had been some question whether the game would start, but officials deeided to proceed in view of the large crowd in at- tendance. One of those in attendance was Ontario Hockey Association president Hugh McLean, He and QHA Western Junior "D" league convener Bill Sampson of London presented the Hawks with a banner to mark their successful title search of last season. In his brief remarks to the audience, McLean said he had been one of those who had complained bitterly when the minister of labor closed down many arenas in the province. However, he said that after seeing what those municipalities had done in replacing the structures, he suggested he may now owe the minister an apology. He was high in his praise of the roc centre, saying it was one of the finest structures he had ever been in. McLean, a former referee, dropped the puck for the first face-off in the arena. Taking the face-off were Exeter Minor Hockey Association president Ron Bogart, and a life member of that organization, Derry Boyle. The latter was given the puck as a souvenir of the occasion, All activities at the centre were cancelled on Saturday due to the ice conditions, Rec centre staff members had to repaint the lines and get the equipment back in running order. Sunday's events went on as scheduled with number of workouts for EMIIA teams, as well as two junior games. The ice was still sticky for those contests, but didn't appear to hinder the players to any great extent. The St. Marys Lincolns won their first "home" game of the season in the afternoon when they clipped Sarnia by a 5-4 count. In the evening, the Hawks eked out a 1-0 win over Port Stanley. There will be another full weekend of hockey for area fans this week. The Hawks host Mitchell on Friday night at 8:30 and then takeon Seaforth at 7;30 on Sunday. Exeter minor teams play their first games of the Shamrock season in the rec centre on Sunday afternoon, The pee wees start off the action with a 4:00 p.m. game against London, followed by the bantam teams from the two centres and hour later.

The study will be paid for by the Ministry and depending on its findings may permit the con- struction of more provincially'- subsidized housing for senior citizens from the area. It is ex- pected the unit would be built in Seaforth which would be a cen- tral location for the area if one is recommended as the result of sufficient interest on the part of residents. The report on the Kippen drainage works will be revised by the engineer, Henry Uderstadt, as the result of a meeting with ratepayers affected by the drain who attended the council session. They were Ed Zavitski, district engineer for the ministry of transportation and com- munications; Art McCallum, Mrs. G. McBride, Mrs. E, Mousseau, D. Brooks and Howard Shanks, all of Kippen, Mr. Zavitski said he did not feel the highway required the catch basin called for in the plan as the highway draining was sufficient. Mr. Uderstadt agreed it wasn't required by the highway but it was proposed for the benefit of the ratepayers. Mr. Uderstadt said that in his opinion it was an established drain that had been there for more than twenty years and he had assessed the highway properly. Mr. McConnell spoke of the serious flooding on his property last spring mainly due to the melting snows which could not get away because of the highway snowbanks. Mr. Shanks refused to sign the petition for the drain as he said it would not help him. His signature was not necessary for the drain as a sufficient number of ratepayers had signed to give the needed 60 percent, There were no appeals on the Tyndall and the McKenzie drainage works for which courts of revision were held. Present for the Tyndall report were coun- cillor Roy Swart, Hibbert Township and ratepayers John Hendricks, John VanDornick and Harry VanMoorsel. Mr. Van- Moorsel asked that the piece of his property, which he had sold since the report was started, be assessed to the new owner and asked that council approach the new owner and explain his costs. The Tyndall drain is estimated to cost $18,400 and the McKenzie drain, $5,000. Dr. Martin Stapleton was told that the township will write the Ministry of the Environment regarding his complaint that the Crozier drain is being polluted by drainage waters from the Seaforth lagoon causing his farm pond to be polluted. Ken Janmaat and Bill Hen- derson attended the meeting to discuss with council the possibility of Mr. Henderson supplying Mr, Janmaat with water for the new house he is building in Egmondville. At the last meeting of council it was decided that it would be too costly for council to supply the water at an estimated figure of $2,000. As well council is concerned about its water supply in the hamlet and is investigating the possibility of drilling of a new • well. Mr. Henderson assured council his well located near the Janmaat property has been tested and is capable of supplying up to 16 houses. Reeve Ervin Sillery and road superintendent Allan Nicholson are to meet with Janmaat and Henderson and look after supplying Janmaat with water from Henderson or by extending the township system. Township building inspector Herman VanWieren of RR 1, Hensall, will do the inspection work for the Home Renewal : program under the Housing development act at a cost of $8.00 per hour. Council passed a by-law designating the 131-year old Van Egmond residence an historical site of historical and ar- chitectural value. Reeve Sillery cautioned his courted that in future care should be taken in designating buildings as historical sites as it is im- possible to pour thousands of.

In addition he said there was a loss of taxes to the municipality from such sites. Building permits were ap- proved from Albert Visscher, RR 2, Kippen, shed; Arthur Wallace, Egmondville, car port; Gordon Pullman, Seaforth, barn; Jim Brown, garage; Harold Nicholson, RR 2, Seaforth, garage; Fernand Vantyghen, RR 4, Seaforth, manure tank. Clerk Jack McLachlan reported he is receiving many complaints about dog problems in the township, especially at Brucefield and Vanastra. He was authorized to write to the London Humane Society that council is not satisfied with the service supplied by the Society in picking up stray dogs. Council turned down a request from Hensall Minor Athletic Association for a donation to the minor hockey program. Coun- cillor Robert Drummond said "No" and councillor Robert Fotheringham said, "We can't give to one and not the others" and seconded the motion which was passed. Council endorsed the two resolutions from the township of Charlotteborough near the Quebec border calling for op- position to give a salary bonus of $80o to a bilingual employee and calling for a general vote on the question of capital punishment. The Ontario Municipal Board informed council its zoning by- law had been accepted subject to four minor amendments.
