Keith Brown in his sermon “How to Build a Life” in Lucan United Church on Sunday. Rev.

Christ promises a blessed future on earth and in heaven for those who build according to His commands. Many have heard the “Sermon on the Mount”, have admired these wonderful words of Christ, but there it stopped, while others have discussed them, but again stopped there, both being “hearers” only.

Middlesex road workers settle, bonus to offset AIB order A strike or lockout of Middlesex County road workers has been averted. A new contract, providing wage increases of 23 percent in some cases, has .been ratified by the County Council and by members of Local 2018 of the Canadian Union of Public Employees. The two sides had been in a legal strike lockout position for a few days prior to the September 7 council meeting but there was no work stoppage. A $100 bonus was also granted to all employees who worked the last contract year from July, 1977 to June 30, 1978. The bonus was in­ tended to help offset reductions in previous contracts ordered by the federal anti-inflation board. Negotiations between the county and CUPE, which represents 45 road depart­ ment workers, had reached an impasse and agreement was finally reached with the help of a provincial labour mediator. In the new contract, wages will range from $6.60 an hour (a $1.24 increase) for licenced mechanics and shovel operators to $4.70 an hour (a 16 cent increase) for dispatchers and weighmen. Middlesex County Council was told “there is cause for alarm” about the extent of untreated tooth decay among children entering kindergarten in the -county schools. Dr. Neil Farrell, director of dental public health, said a survey shows untreated decay in 23 per­ cent of kindergarten pupils in the county nublic school system and nearly 24 percent in county separate schools. Dr. Farrell, who said the’ figures are probably on the conservative side, found slightly better records among children in City of London schools. He told County Council that there are several important reasons for treating baby teeth. Eating and speaking can be affected by poor teeth. There are psychological affects as well as the pain of decay and baby teeth play a key role in shaping the permanent teeth, some of which don’t come in until age 12, he sqid. Medical officer of health, Dr. Douglas Hutchison, reported to council that the incidence of Venereal Disease in London- Middlesex is exceeded only in Toronto and Ottawa. There were 844 treated cases of Gonorrhoea and 14 cases of the more serious Syphilis reported to health officials. Those numbers are down from 1976 but “it doesn’t mean we’re getting better. It’s a different means of counting”, Dr. Hutchison said. Separate city and county V.D. statistics are not provided “but county statistics are low compared with the city”, he said. The MOH said 142 people from the county sought pregnancy advice in 1977. 88 percent of them were single females and 34 percent were inder 16 years of age. Dr. Hutchison and his staff were presenting their annual report to county council. Towns, villages and townships who fail to send tax money to Middlesex County offices by the required deadlines will be penalized with an interest charge of 9.25 percent. 40 percent of each, municipality ’s share of the county operation is due June 30 and the balance is to be paid before the end of December. , Council was told that London Township failed to send its interim payment of $112,000 by June 30 because its council questioned the requirement. At the request of the Village of Lucan, county council’s road committee has agreed to prepare a bylaw giving all municipalities the authority to enforce municipal bylaws on county roads within the municipalities. Lucan wants authority for i ts bylaw enforcement of­ ficer to enforce village bylaws on Alice and William Streets, which are County Roads 47 and Irrespectively.
