gushing out of the downstair
window”, reported Mrs.
Rosser. The couple woke the
next door neighbours and
immediately summoned the
Ailsa Craig volunteer fire
department.
The Cornelissen’s had
been visiting relatives in
Parkhill at the time of the
fire. They had moved into
the house only a few months
previously. They have one
child.
The one and a half storey
frame building was com
pletely gutted. No estimate
of damage is yet available.
“The fire department were
on the scene in a very short
time”, said Mrs. Rosser.
“They didn’t waste any time
getting there and putting the
fire out. We only wish we’d
driven by 10 minutes earlier
to see tfye fire before it went
as far as it did.”

Puppet show features
Sunday School convention
And See Our New
By Joy Scheifele
A record attendance
marked the 87 Lobo-East
Williams annual Sunday
School convention held at the
Nairn Mennonite Church
Saturday as nearly 200
children, teachers, parents
and grandparents gathered
together.
The Gospel Gang Puppets
from Simcoe held complete
attention of the children and
adults alike with stories,
songs and conversation.
They included some of the
well-known muppets as well
County wants
jail restoration
By GORD WHITEHEAD
Middlesex County council
agreed last week to apply to
the Ontario Municipal Board
(0MB) for permission to
commit the county councils
of 1979 and 1980 to spend
$174,000 toward the
restoration of the old court
house and jail in London.
Council agreed to make
available $126,000 as seed
money for the courthouse
renovation during the
current year but learned it
must have 0MB approval to
assure the remainder of the
commitment over a three-
year period. The Ontario
Heritage Foundation was to
consider granting money for
the project at a meeting this
week.
Some 275 acres of swamp
and bushland in East
Williams township will
become a reforestation area.
Middlesex council approved
the spending of $125,000 for
the Furnston property,
northwest of Nairn. Grants
from the Ontario Ministry of
the Environment will reduce
the actual cost to the county
to about $50,000.
Council’s road committee
reported that county
population signs will be
placed on county roads and
that the Ontario Ministry of
Transportation and Com
munications will be
requested to place similar
signs on highways entering
the county.
The personnel committee
of council reported that
Local 2018 of the Canadian
Union of Public
Employees, representing
county workers, has
requested the start of
bargaining on a new con
tract. The current contract
expires on June 13.
In his inaug ral address in
January, Warden Aubrey
McCallum of East Williams
township, warned that
removal of the federal anti
inflation controls would be a
special challenge in dealing
with wage demands of
county employees. The 1978
budget increases were
generally held to five per
cent in most departments.
Despite comments by Lobo
Township Reeve Donald
Mayo about “an over-
protective society”, the
Middlesex Council voted to
support a London bid for
federal legislation banning
boating on the Thames River
during the spring flooding
season. Reeve Garnet
Bloomfield of London
township noted "that the city
is especially )concerned
about the lives of rescue
teams.
as lesser known ones to
complete the gang of 24
puppets operated by David
and Joan Green and Pauline
Smith and Eileen Shay.
For an hour and a half the
puppets captivated the
children with stories and
messages from the Gospel
and teachers and parents
observed many of the useful
teaching techniques which
can be used through the use
of puppets.
“A child will listen far
more readily to what a
puppet has to say than to an
adult”, advised David
Green.
On the afternoon session
the children were again
treated to more of what the
puppets had to say while
the adults were shown slides
of Haiti by Hugh Ourhand of
Compassion of Canada.

stated Mr. Ourhand.

Welcome was extended
