Rev. Ross relates tales of his father on Father’s Day
FROM LONDESBORO
Greeting churchgoers on Trinity
Sunday, June 18 were Lome and
Addie Hunking. Ushering were John
and Jane Hoggart.
For the children’s time, Rev. Ross
had in his story bag, a picture of his
parents. For the occasion of Father’s
Day, he recounted three stories his
father had related about his youth -
about a strawberry picking day, an
Indian bike, and a crystal radio. He
encouraged the children to have
conversations with their fathers
about their younger days.
Deb Stephenson was in charge of
Junior Congregation.
The New Testament scripture
passages, Luke 9: 46-48 and 18: 15-
17 teach that children were
important to Jesus. The text for the
message. The New Curriculum, that
believers have an obligation to teach
others about God, was found in
Deuteronomy 6: 4-9.
During the 19th century, a security
officer in a British jail, was
concerned about the future of
the children in the poor sections
of his city. Determined to improve
their situation, he began schools for
ages five to 14. Most of these
children laboured weekdays, so
instruction was offered in reading
and writing on Sundays. The only
book used in these schools was The
Bible.
By 1925 when union brought the
United Church of Canada into
existence, Sunday School was a
tradition for all ages. In 1962, The
New Curriculum for Sunday Schools
was a revolution in Christian
Education. Although expensive to
use and controversial in nature, 90
per cent of congregations
implemented the program.
During the last quarter of the
century, The Whole People of God
was introduced for Sunday Schools.
A modernized and reworked
program called Journeying Together
has now found favour with teachers.
From the earliest days, churches
have felt obliged to instruct members
about their faith. Sunday School
teachers are committed to do this
ministry to the young members of
today's churches.
If you were unable to attend the
recent picture taking for the church
directory and wish to be included,
you should contact Garnet and Marg
Wright. Another day for photos has
been scheduled for Monday, Aug.
14.
The Londesboro/Auburn Youth
Group report having a blast at their
recent weekend campout. Thirteen
young people and five adults spent
Friday evening to Sunday afternoon
on the camping grounds of the
Bluewater Centre, south of
Goderich.
Weekend activities included
campfires, skits, the construction
and painting of birdhouses,
volleyball and swimming.
On Saturday the group prepared a
short church service which was
presented outdoors among the trees
on Sunday morning for their
families.
WI members talk of common herbs
The members of the Londesboro
Women’s Institute answered roll call
by revealing what herbs they use on
a regular basis. Their answers - sage,
parsley, thyme, etc. - concentrated on
cooking herbs.
Then Birgit Hillier, who writes
The Green Zone column, shared
some of her practical and useful
knowledge of herbs with the
members and many guests.
Birgit brought along a bouquet she
had picked on her farm, Highgables
Farm near Holmesville, and took it
apart during her presentation. Along
with the name of each plant and a
brief description, she explained how
it could be used for balms, teas,
potpourri, soaps or in cooking. In
addition she gave tips on
incorporating these plants in
gardens. In her bouquet were lady’s
mantle, mint, catnip, heliotrope and
lovage to name just a few.
In generations past home remedies
made use of herbs. Those same herbs
are the basic of today’s herbal
medicines she noted. Mrs. Hillier
also touched on the making of
potpourri.
Although ‘the herb lady’ explained
she was only scratching the surface
with her talk that evening, those in
attendance certainly had their
perception of these useful plants
broadened. .
Of interest to the guests was the
reading of a list of accomplishments
by the Women’s Institutes over many
decades. Stop signs at railway
crossings, quality gradings on
canned goods, the pasteurization of
milk, and centre lines painted in
highways are some examples of how
this group has benefitted all of us.
During the business part of the
meeting, the ladies accepted the
challenge issued by the Belgrave WI
and will send $50 to the Children’s
Miracle Network.
The July 12 meeting will be an
outing to Blyth for lunch at the hotel
and a presentation of Anne at the
theatre.

Have you noticed that flowers
have been added to the beds at the
front entrance of the community
hall? Thanks, Sam and Thelma for
helping our community to bloom
again this summer.
Brenda Jarrett, who has done the
community collecting in the north
end of Londesboro for some time
feels it is time to pass the task on.
This village committee plays an
important role in promoting a feeling
qf community and the villagers
thank her for her efforts. Neighbours
in that area will be represented on
the committee now by Shannon
Clark.
The Happy Gang Seniors will host
a dance at the Londesboro Hall on
Friday, June 23.
How often have you heard
someone lament, “That sort of thing
just doesn’t happen here”, or “That’s
the kind of thing that happens in the
city?”
Sometime in the early hours of
June 15, three bicycles were stolen
from the yard of a Londesboro
main street residence. That’s not the
sort of thing that should happen
here!
At the time of reporting one
bicycle has been recovered but all of
us need to be aware rural areas are
no longer as safe as we would like.
Be your brother’s keeper and
question what seems suspicious.
Security is something we all need to
protect in our little village.
Congratulations, Richard and
Trisha Bergsma on the safe arrival of
Curtis Bruce, Saturday, June 17.
Council looks at severance
With the acceptance of two
conditions, East Wawanosh council
approved a severance application for
the north half of Lot 28, Cone. 3, at
the June 6 meeting.
Christina Empey had filed the
application to sever an existing
single family residence from a farm
with two permanent residences.
The conditions stated that the
retained eight acres be rezoned
agriculture-small holding and be
rectangular in shape.
Brian Treble of the Huron County
Planning Department said the
minimum distance separations put
limitation on uses of the barn and the
livestock buildings were not suited
for large expansion.
Paul Montgomery, an upset Hutton
Heights resident attended the
meeting to ask when work would
begin on the Johnston Municipal
Drain. He had informed council in
writing that his basement was
flooded after rainstorms.
Councillor Murray Scott said it
was hoped the work would fix the
flooding problem, but that Hutton
Heights should have more drains.
Montgomery said the work on the
road and drain should have been
done properly in the first place so the
township would not have to spend
more money on repairs.
Clerk-Treasurer Winona
Thompson said the earliest the work
could begin, according to contracts
was June 9. It is to be completed by
the end of the month.
Due to the heavy rainfalls in
the past month, Road Superin
tendent Ralph Campbell told
council there will be an expense of
$10,000 to $12,000 for road work.
This will go towards repairing
washed out roads and cleaning up
downed trees.
Campbell was authorized to cut
the grass at the old Fina station in
Auburn as efforts to contact the
owner had been unsuccessful.
