The new president, Dennis Maguire conducted the business meeting when tentative plans were made for a garage and bake sale later in the year. At the next meeting, the Kaunes’, Timms’ and Pattersons’ will be in charge of the program. The only objections to the proposed official plan for the village Lucan raised at a public meeting Monday night involved the possibility of multiple housing in residential areas. Doug Reberg said he was concerned about a portion of the plan which says any miultiple family develop­ ment will be compatible in character and design with adjacent residential development. He continued, “This paragraph gives too much latitude. Can you be more specific about it? It seems to invite piece-meal con­ struction.” Planning board chairman Norm Steeper replied, “You are saying we should be saying exactly what would be compatible. If it’s put on paper, it becomes law.” Steeper continued, “Once an official plan is approved it’s difficult to change. Now is the time to get any of your wishes into the plan. It must reflect the needs of village.” At the moment due to sewer system being capacity only residential lots are being considered for construction. Planning consultant Liz Howsan of James F. MacLaren Ltd. said, “The official plan should allow redevelopment of existing residential areas and designate “special residential” areas where new residential development may take capacity treatment panded. the the at single place once the of the sewage facilities is ex-Labatt’s award was Wayne Smith with a 345 single.

Staff photo > ■•••I: W|1 Development days changed to studies At its regular meeting this week, the Middlesex County Board of Education reclassified four professional activity days to regular instructional days because of class time already lost to bad weather this year. June 20 and 21 were designated instruction days in secondary schools and February 14 and April 20 in elementary schools. On recommendation of its Budget Committee, the Board decided that if a vacancy occurs in its resource, support or middle management staff, the Board’s administration will re-evaluate the need for the position and its duties report before filling vacancy. In other business, Board waived its policy on employees in public office to permit Robert Feasey, a teacher at Strathroy District Collegiate Institute who, as reeve of Adelaide Township, is also a member of Middlesex County Coun­ cil, to attend Council meetings that begin in early afternoon. The waiver is for a trial period until the next County Council election and provides for pay deduction during the time Mr. Feasey is away from His teaching duties. and the the The official plan should also establish criteria to assist in determining which development applications will best meet the goals of the Plan. It is anticipated that all of the areas designated as “special residential” may not be developed in the first stage of the expansion of the capacity of the sewage treatment facilities.” The population of Lucan in 1976 was 1,366 and there are strong pressures for development because of Lucan’s role as a residential dormitory for London. The population should increase to 1,600-1,700 with the development of three approved subdivisions and infilling lots. The capacity of the sewage treatment facilities is the population equivalent of 1,600-1,700 people. These figures could be adjusted downwards depending on the amount of effluent generated by new commercial and industrial development. A study is now being conducted by the Ministry of the Environment to deter­ mine the best method of expanding the capacity of the sewage treatment facilities. At the present time it is believed that the most likely method of expanding the capacity of the sewage treatment facilities will be the addition of a third cell to the sewage lagoon. A third ceil would expand the capacity of the sewage treatment facilities by the population equivalent of 300- 400 people to about a total population of 2,000. The increase in capacity resulting from the expansion of the capacity of the sewage treatment facilities will only permit limited residential development, particularly if significant amounts of commercial and industrial development are permitted. While most of the people who asked questions were in favour of only single residential .housing, Peter Butler disagreed saying, “If we don’t put more people on less land with multiple dwellings our taxes will go sky high.” In this regard planning board chairman Norm Steeper said, “residential properties make up about 83 percent of our tax base.” Reeve Ivan Hearn in­ terjected, “I think it’s closer to 90 percent.” Businessman Sam Mirza said he was concerned about the lack of parking in the downtown area adding, “we’re losing business because people can’t find a place to park.” At the conclusion of the meeting Steeper asked anyone with complaints or suggestions to register them with clerk Ed Melanson as quickly as possible. Steeper concluded, “This has to be approved by council and forwarded to the Ministry^by March 31 or we lose a grant of $9,000.’’ Austin Hodgins Clerk Biddulph ___________ ■III * Learning for Lent The posters with registra­ tion forms and envelopes in which to put the forms when completed, were distributed by the committee, Friday and Saturday.

Keith Brown asked the question “What do we know about God?” He said our knowledge of God must be personal. 'We can see Him in all things He has created, the words He has spoken, the thing He has planned and shared and the gifts He has given, such as His Son. The New Testament reveals that Jesus is God. We must know Jesus as He reveals God as a Loving Father who cares for us at all times. Next Sunday the junior choir will assist in the mor­ ning worship.
