They're shown here getting soaked as they drive up main street on Learning for Lent sessions conclude e The final session of Lear­ ning for Lent, sponsored by the Lucan United Church Women, was held April 5 and included the applique quilting with Mrs. Emerson Stanley instructing, hair-pin lace with Mrs. J.F. Tuke, Mrs. Harold Cobleigh and Mrs. Jack Murdv as instruc­ tors and the lecture type Confirmation is conducted A large congregation celebrated communion and confirmation at Lucan. United Church on Sunday. In his message Mr. Brown reminded the new members as well as the whole con­ gregation that discipleship is costly. Jesus said, “If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me.” Christians must learn to say no to their own per­ sonal desires and plans and accept the principle of sacrifice in their lives, in order that Christ’s plans may be furthered. Only so can they truly follow Him. The choir, under the direc­ tion of Helen Brown, sang a communion anthem. During the service, Mrs. Sandra Gatt and Mr. and Mrs. Rodney Morrison were received into membership by transfer, and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Brady by reaf­ firmation of faith. The following young peo­ ple were confirmed on profession of faith: Ronald Barr, Steven Burr, Sherry Froats. Bonnie Joyce. Tami McRoberts, Tim Ryan, and Diane Young. Clerk of Session Bob Murray, assisted by elders Alex Young and Don McGuire, welcomed them on behalf of the congrega­ tion. The service closed with the celebration of the Lord’s Supper. Following the service, a welcome tea, convened by Mrs. Mabel Froats, was held for these new members and others who have joined Lucan Church in recent months.

Following the coffee and conversation break conven­ ed by Mrs. Murray Hodgson and Mrs. Sheridan Revington, Mrs. Betty Smith of Exeter sang the verses which accompany the series’ theme chorus. “Nothing is impossible’’. Mrs. Whilsmith concluded her studies by pointing out Paul’s solution to our futile habit of worrying. “That solution is prayer’’, she said. “But we must put thanksgiv­ ing with our prayers if we are to stop worrying. When we remember God’s faithfulness to us in the past, and consider His great love, wisdom and power, then it is not hard to thank God. When we do so. His peace floods our hearts and minds. ’’ Mrs. Whilsmith com­ mented on Paul's statement, “I am content wherever I am”. “Bloom where you are planted” was a guideline for Christian living which Paul had fully grasped. Beautiful blooms involve painful prun­ ing. Some people react to life’s hard lessons by giving in to despair. Some grow cynical. Some produce a few pale blooms. And some, like Paul, bloom profusely. Paul bloomed because he faced all life’s experiences in the strength Christ gives. Thanks are due to all who helped make this year’s Learning for Lent a great experience - to Mrs. Whilsmith for her inspiring Bible Studies, and to those who conducted demonstrations and gave lectures: Mrs. Diane Murphy of the Department of Consumer and Corporate Affairs. Mrs. Carol Crerar of the Department of Agriculture and Food, Sgt.

Mrs. Rachel Tuke, Mrs. Edythe Murdv, Mrs. Muriel Cobleigh and Mrs. Emerson Stanley. Thanks are also due to those who worked behind the scenes to help make this event a success: Leda Revington, Alice Hodgson and Shirley Ryan who looked after coffee and cookies; Jane Forster and Beth Cow­ drey and their team who provided Child Care; and the Learning for Lent Com­ mittee who planned and took responsibility for the event: Chairman Sharon Mac­ Donald, Barbara Gibson, Iva Hodgins, Jean Brown and Marj Park. c LUCAN MINOR SOCCER REGISTRATION FOR BOYS AND GIRLS (AGES 6-15) SAT. APRIL 15 & 22 LUCAN FIRE HALL (10-12) FEE *5.00 J SOCIETY EDUCATION MEETING — The Lucan-Biddulph branch of the Canadian Cancer Society sponsored a well attended public education night in Lucan on Thursday evening. Prior to the start of the meeting, Terry Roberts, principal of A.B.

T-A photo Show films, outline views Cancer specialists attend meeting About 120 people attended the educational meeting put on by the Lucan Biddulph branch of the Canadian Cancer Society in conjunc­ tion with the Ilderton branch on Thursday night in the Lucan Public School. Guest speakers for the evening were Dr. Meredith, family practitioner from Ilderton and Dr. D. Marshall, specialist in general surgery. Dr. Marshall, who works mainly with children, is also a clinical associate Professor at the U.W.O. Dr. D. Marshall spoke and showed slides which described a couple of cases. During the question period. Dr. Marshall was asked about symptoms that a parent could notice that would predict a tumor before it got bad enough to make the child sick. He recommended that a mother feel the abdomen about once a month perhaps while drying the child after a bath. Any strange lump should then be brought to a doctor’s attention im-. mediately. When asked about telling a terminal case in a child about death, he replied that it first of all depended on the child’s age, secondly he said that children should not be lied to. “They can see what is go­ ing on around them and if they find out that you lied to them once then they will not trust you again.” He said that the family of dying 'children needed the most support and children are not particularly afraid of death. He recommended that the child be allowed to die at home where he would feel the love of the family around him. Dr. Meredith spoke of the great fear many adults have, when they think that they might have cancer. People tend to think the worst im­ mediately, even though a doctor does not know himself if the growth is malignant until surgery. Many cancer patients and senior citizens in homes feel lonely and unneeded. “This is a responsibility of ours to make these people loved. The crisis in a family can bring a family closer and they do indeed get the strength to carry the burden when the time comes.” A film was shown about Patricia Anne McKinnon, who had Hodgkins disease, which is another form of cancer. She describes her feelings when she was told about it, and her treatments. Catherine McKinnon also appears on the film talking about her reaction to her sister’s disease. The end of the film told of Patricia Anne's total remission of the disease. Dan Brand, field secretary for South-Western Ontario Cancer Society gave a brief history of the C.S. in this area. Mr. Brand’s main theme was “Cancer can be Beaten! ” Also at this meeting the Cancer Society’s poster con­ test judging was held. Judges were Don Brand, Field Secretary for the Cancer Society and Terry Roberts, principal of A.B. Lucas secondary school, London. Mr. Roberts con­ gratulated the teachers and students on an excellent job with the posters.
