Clerk & Returning Officer Produce of the vegetable, and flower gardens decorated Lucan United Church for the Thanksgiving service Sunday, when Rev. Keith Brown spoke on the subject “Thanksgiving for or To.” ^He told his congregation that one word we find repeated often in the Bible is “thanks”. Paul and Jesus had to keep reminding people to give thanks and today there are still many people who take their good things of life for granted. In the Bible reading, Luke 17:11-19, on which Rev. Brown based his sermon, all the lepers rejoiced but only one returned to give thanks. The gift, important though it was, took second place in his heart so he gave thanks to Jesus, knowing that He was concerned about every aspect of his life, titude like tha The choir sang “We Praise Thee, O God, our Redeemer, Creator” arranged by Edward Kremser. A basket of flowers in fall colours was from the funeral of the late Mrs. Martin Scafe, of Ailsa Craig, mother of Mrs. Gordon Hotson.

She then showed the girls the Gobelin stitch and members completed rows of this stitch. Bev. Huffman, assistant leader demon­ strated the “Continental Stitch” those present completed two rows of this type, and started figuring out their monogram for the centre of this particular square.

By GORD WHITEHEAD Middlesex County secondary school teachers have won themselves an eight percent pay raise after eight months of negotiations but their elementary counterparts have reached an impasse with the board of education. The secondary school teachers will cost taxpayers $6.6 million in the 1978-79 contract - an increase of about$491,000. Salaries range from $12,450 to $27,300 compared to a $12,000 to $25,700 spread in the old contract. Middlesex board chief negotiator Gilbert Dafoe said he is hopeful that ac­ ceptance of an agreement by the secondary school teachers will have a positive effect on elementary negotiations. A provincial fact finder has been called in to aid in those talks. Retirement gratuities are becoming an increasing concern to trustees, Mr. Dafoe said. “They’re run- Donors at Red Cross clinics give many different reasons for giving blood. For some, it’s the feeling of helping someone with thd gift of life. For others it’s the orange juice and friendly staff. For still others, it’s the coffee and cookies afterwards. The Red Cross encourages you to find a reason at a blood clinic soon. For residents of Lucan and district, a blood donors clinic will be held at the Lucan Community Centre on October 23 frorn 6.30 p.m, to 9 p.m. sponsored by the Lucan Women’s Institute.

Those Lucanites who are wondering where the fire took place Sunday morning will be happy to know the alarm was caused to ac­ tivate by a type of short circuit in the mechanism of the alarm system. ning up a terrific bill . . . perhaps $50,000 a year over the next ten years. Teacher negotiator Jack Sifton termed the secondary school settlement in Mid­ dlesex “reasonable” com­ pared to other increases in Western Ontario. On another matter, the Middlesex board’s denial of tuition help for three fran­ cophone families who want their children educated at the French-language school in London was reaffirmed when none of the families appeared at the October 2 meeting to appeal the decision. Trustees declined to pay the $75 monthly tuition fee for non-London residents because they wanted to avoid a precendent for other outside instruction and were convinced that Middlesex has facilities for integrating non-English speaking children into its own schools.
