Construction of a sizable
addition to the Lucan
Revival Centre will get
underway in the very near
future.
Lucan council Tuesday
night approved a building
permit application presented
by a three-man delegation.
Rev. Ray Brewster said a
house located at the rear of
the present church building
located at the corner of Main
and Richmond streets will be
torn down.
The new structure will
house the main sanctuary of
the church. It will be 50 feet
by 50 feet and a 23 by 30 foot
lobby.
The addition will be ad
joined to the present church
building which will then be
used for Sunday School and
related purposes.
The main entrance to the
church will be off Richmond
street.
In recommending ac
ceptance of the building
application, councillor Norm
Steeper said plans did
comply with the village’s
zoning regulations.
Reeve Ivan Hearn com
mended the delegation on the
proposed expansion saying,
“This will be a credit to
your church board. Your
recent accomplishments
with young people are good
for our community.”
Rev. Ray Brewster said he
expected construction should
be completed in about eight
months. He was ac
companied by Bruce Shaw
and John Armitage.
tember 18 to complete
construction of Albert street
without any penalties.
Reeve Hearn said
asphalting would start
today, Thursday. He added
“from all appearances it will
be a good street.”
A committee consisting of
councillors Larry Hotson
and Norm Steeper was
named to do a survey on the
village’s water system and
review rates.
During the discussion
Hotson said, “Our per capita
consumption is high because
of the water sold outside our
municipality. The farm and
tank rates are too cheap.”
Reeve Hearn commented
“If it’s managed properly we
should have lots of water for
a long time.”
At the August meeting,
council informed Biddulph
township that building
permits should not be issued
until water applications for
Lucan water are made if that
commodity is needed for the
new construction.

Those present Labour Day
Sunday, at the Lucan United
church were happy to
welcome back Rev. & Mrs,
Keith Brown from their re
cent holiday in Britian.
Rev. Brown took his ser
mon topic, “The Ministry of
Daily Work”, from
Ephesians 6:1-20 asking the
question “How can a person
serve God without becoming
a minister or missionary,
etc?” And the answer
forthcoming “Commitment
does not need to be within
the church walls, although
being a teacher, a youth
leader, etc., seems to be
related to the Church
building, which is a place
where we are trained for
service for our God, or we
should be.
He said that Jesus is the
greatest example any
labourer could have. He was
an ideal employee and would
have [been an ideal
employer. What a tremen
dous difference it would
make if Christian principles
were accepted in all our
relationships.

A bowling champ
By JOY SCHEIFELE
AILSA CRAIG
Ailsa Craig’s Bob Macin
tosh is once again one of
Canada’s champion lawn
bowlers.
Representing Ontario «he
competed with team
members skip Bill Watkins
and his two sons, Jim and
Bob of London, winning the
Canadian championship,
August 23. The five day tour
nament was held this year in
Halifax, Nova Scotia with
nine provinces bying for the
championship. New
foundland did not enter a
team.
A member of the London
Fairmont club, this was the
second great win for Bob. In
1971 he bowled doubles with
team member Jim Watkins
to take his first Canadian
championship. He continued
on representing Canada in
the World championship in
1972 which were held in
Worthy, England.
This was the first world
competition for either Bob
or Jim, Seventeen countries
in all were represented in
the competition, and they
were able to finish in ninth
place.
In 1973 they took the On
tario doubles, and finished
third that year in the Cana
dian competition in Regina.
An enthusiastic lawn
bowler Bob enjoys taking
part in the various com
petitions, but bowls regular
ly only once a week. He first
became interested in the
sport at the early age of 14
and played regularly on
Ailsa Craig’s own greens un
til they were discontinued.
Born in Ailsa Craig he is the
son of Mr. and Mrs. Sinclair
Macintosh, also of Ailsa
Craig.
Although he would like to
compete again in the world
championships, Bob at the
moment has no definite
plans. It will depend when
and where they take place.
