FROM LONDESBORO
Bad weather
keeps folks
from cards
Weather has certainly affected the
activities of residents in midwestern
Ontario this winter. Fog and high
winds following a day of rain -on
Friday, Feb. 9 resulted in only five
and a half tables of card players turn-
ing out for the seniors' euchre party
at the Londesboro Hall.
With 78 points Kay Hesselwood
and Edythe Glousher were the high.
couple. Reta and Orville Kelland
were second with 69 points followed
closely by Phyllis and Keith Tyndall
having 67 points. The share the
wealth draw was split by Helen Lee
and Gloria McEwing.
The next euchre tournament is
scheduled for Friday, March 9. It's to
be hoped fair weather will bring out
more card players that evening.
The Londesboro Women's
Institute hosted a progressive euchre
party at the Londesboro Hall on
Tuesday, Feb. 13. Although the
turnout of players was disappointing
for the organizers, $370 was realized
in support of the Auxiliary of the
Clinton PubliC Hospital_
There were 11 tables of card play-
ers, many of whom took home one
of the various donated prizes. The
ladies of the Institute appreciate
those who attended.
C. Huron
hits jackpot
with gaming
revenue
Brian Wood, chief operating offi-
cer of the Ontario Lottery and
Gaming Corporation (OLGC) pre-
sented Reeve Carol Mitchell of the
Municipality of Central Huron, with
a cheque for $160,926 in non-tax
revenue for the municipality's first
share of gaming revenue from the
slot facility at Clinton Raceway.
Wood said job creation has been
one of the greatest benefits. "The
slot facility has generated more than
55 new jobs. And this initial cheque
is evidence of the province's com-
mitment to maximizing the econom-
ic benefits .of the slots-at-racetrack
program for host communities."
"We were ,confident the OLGC
slot facility at Clinton Raceway
would have a positive impact," said
Mitchell, "but the results have
exceeded our expectations. We plan
to use our share of slot revenues to
benefit the entire community. of
Central Huron."
The slot facility at Clinton opened
Aug. 26. Since then it has attracted
more than 89,000 visitors.
Recently Londesboro United
Church held its annual meeting for
the year 2000. Neil Salverda chaired
the meeting while Marjorie Duizer
was the recording secretary.
The various. reports contained in
the annual report were read and
accepted. Mention was made that not
all committees had complete rosters.
As the mission and service objec-
tive for 2000 had been surpassed, the
objective for 2001 was raised to
$8,000.
The agreement with the Auburn
United Church regarding the min-
istry of Rev. Paul Ross was again
approved by the Londesboro congre-
gation.
At the December gathering of the
official board, a budget for 2001 was
presented. Decisions made that
meeting necessitated revision of that
proposal at a subsequent board of
stewards meeting. The updated
budget reflects decisions to use

ed their money in a bank because
they trusted the bank to safeguard
those funds.
Rev. Ross pointed out that the chil-
dren should have trust that God will
always do what is right for them.
The New Testament scripture pas-
sage was Luke's version of the
Beatitudes from Luke 6: 17-26.
From Jeremiah 17: 5-7 came the
theme for the service, "blessed is the
man that trusts in the Lord".
For the morning message Rev.
Ross offered a story, Two Men — a
shrub and a tree which he hoped
would cause listeners to look more
closely at their own relationship with
God. Although banks, stock markets,
governments and the works of -man
may fail, God will not, he said.
The story was of two young men
of similar backgrounds who were
best friends while growing up. Each
attended Sunday School and were

The events were set up around the
yard on both senior and junior sides.
There was also a station in the gym
where they watched a movie and had
some hot chocolate. Some of the
events were bowling, snow soccer,
obstacle course, dodge ball and
many more.
Two teams would compete against
each other at each event. The teams
would spend 20 minutes at each
event then move on to the next.
Mrs. Vandendool put the carnival
together this year and Miss M. Cash
helped with the hot chocolate — spe-
cial thanks to them.

church, became a medical researcher
and technology became his god. He
believed technology •has the power
to make a real difference to the prob-
lems of the world. Jerry was the
weaker shrub of the story.
Lou also drifted away from the
church during university but never
lost his faith in God. A school
teacher, Lou recognized that life will
not always be easy for a believer but
knew that God gives the,/ courage,
determination, comfort and hope to
face life. His belief made him the
solid tree of the story.
The Wednesday evening discus-
sion will centre on the question,
Whatever happened to personal
responsibility? This is at the manse
at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 21.
There will be a junior choir prac-
tice following the service next
