Dungannon hosts seniors' rally The Happy Gang Seniors met for the first meeting of 2002 at the Londesboro Hall on Wednesday, Jan. 30. Members were made aware of the Seniors' annual spring rally to be held Thursday, April 18 in Dungannon. Although the Londesboro group is prepared to host a Seniors' rally, the Londesboio hall cannot accommodate the num- bers. It was agreed Len Archadibault would make inquiries regarding locations, etc. and bring information back to the next meeting. Huronlea residents will be enter- tained by the Londesboro seniors on June 18. Remember that a euchre party will be held at the Londesboro Hall on Monday, Feb. 11 at 1:30 p.m. Sponsored by the Women's Institute, proceeds from the card afternoon Jazlen Bryanna Wright was wel- comed as the newest member of the congregation of Londesboro United Church on Sunday, Feb. 3. On hand to watch her baptism were Grandpa and Grandma Cook, Grandpa and Grandma Wright and a number of uncles, aunts and cousins. Jazlen appeared to enjoy the event immensely. Coffee, juice and muffins prior to the service were compliments of Reta Kelland. Bert Lyon greeted the morning worshippers while Ed and Mary Salverda ushered them. From the storybag the children drew an invitation to a birthday party. Etiquette around the receiving of an invitation was discussed. The children volunteered that the invite should be considered and a reply given to the issuer of the invitation. Rev. Paul Ross explained to the children that he had received an invi- tation the previous week to minister to Exeter United Church and he had accepted. Rev. Ross had earlier announced to the congregation that he would be ending his ministry at Londesboro United Church on June 30 after 12 years having felt for some time God's urging him to serve in a By David Blaney Citizen staff A request for monetary support was received from Children of Chernobyl. The group also is in need of good, used suitcases and shoes. Donations of these items will be received at the next meeting on Feb. 27. Donations from others in the community would also be welcome. Paul Josling, chief of the Blyth Fire Department, gave the group/He background and an explanation of the 911 system. He feels the current system is an excellent one although, in the early days, there have been some problems. When a 911 call is made for fire, police or ambulance, the call goes to Ottawa. Therefore it is important for will benefit the Clinton Public Hospital. Once again, the village of Londesboro has lost its gas pumps. These are difficult times for small business but we will surely miss the convenience of driving up to fill our lawn mowers, snowmobiles and vehicles. I came across an interesting item on page 2 of Saturday's London Free Press. It seems that back in the 1930s, Walter Winchell wrote a col- umn for upwards of 2,000 newspa1 pers across North America about mundane/everyday happenings. The London Free Press is about to new ministry. Matthew 5 begins an account of Chri§t's sermon on the Mount. Verses 1 - 12 is the passage, The Beatitudes Critics of Christianity, or worldly people, reject some of those Beatitudes as foolish or ludicrous. These critics see faith has a wis- dom they don't want to recognize or live by. This is because God's ways do not reflect the ways of the world. In I Corinthians 18-31 Paul tells his followers of God's wisdom. Also, Christ is the wisdom of God. Rev. Ross's message was titled, A Foolish Faith. The faithful recognize God takes ordinary people and does extraordi- nary things with them for His pur- pose. Ordinary plain people are called to do His work. Rev. Ross noted that now that Londesboro United Church and he are all headed in a new direction. It will be imperative for congregants to step forward knowing God will help them in His work. Londesboro's annual congrega- tional meeting will be held on Tuesday, Feb. 12 at 8 p.m. in the Sunday School room. complaints with regard to trespass- ing. Shropshall pointed out that high speed travel, off-trail, at night was an the caller to be clear about the address of the emergency, be it a street address and town or the rural designation. The central dispatch calls the appropriate area to respond. Josling noted that the gift of money with which he was presented as appreciation for his talk would be added to the fund the fire department has begun for a thermal imaging camera. These cameras are heat seekers, Fire departments make use of them in fire situations to locate hot spots or potential further fire sources. Hydro crews can use them to search for shorts/breaks in lines. Police have used this type of camera launch its own people column.

Success with this project will ben- efit many in the community and the whole of Huron County_ Watch for fundraisers for this ambitious proj- ect. • Excellence, school's virtue An anonymous quote supports the virtue of the week from Feb. 3 to 8, "The oak sleeps in the acorn, the bird waits in the egg ... dreams are the seedlings of realities." Excellence is the virtue at Hullett Central Public School. On Monday, Feb. 4 the first round of public speeches will be held in the gym. There will be a report of Hullett's competition in this column next week, Feb. 13. The regional competition with Blyth Public School will be hosted by Hullett on Feb. 13. This event is open to the public. Come and hear what today's youth are talking about or are interested in.
