The people who investigate such things and compile the statistics tell us that most car accidents happen within a few miles of home.'Perhaps. we relax as we end our journey, perhaps we become too complacent about the ordinary or we let down our guard. This may be what happened last Tuesday afternoon. May II at the intersection of Londesborough Road and London Road. Two vehicles tried to drive the same piece of familiar pavement at the same time. Bruce Shillinglaw's half-ton truck heading west collided with the station wagon of Pat Hunking which Was heading south. Neither driver was injured but badly shaken by the incident.

Long-term residents of Londesborough have historically referred to the house as the Brundson Place. In conversation with villagers, I Was unable to determine who actually built the nearly century-old house. Possibly the large white frame home was erected by William and Mary Brundson. William ran a Massey-Harris Farm Equipment dealership across King Street beside the seed cleaning plant.

The Hensall District Co- operative assumed ownership of the property when they purchased the Allen Mill. Over the years the owners frequently rented part or all of the house.

From behind a large black screen which represented a black box or the church came the voices of two women. They were discussing how peaceful and safe it felt inside their church where they Could relax in the glow of God's presence. They acknowledged they liked the safety of the familiar. Then they queried whether others on the outside know they are welcome to come inside. In spite of the extra noise and demands and chaos that might ensue_ the ladies decided to open their box. Pushing over the screen Mary Peel and Kittie McGregor, proclaimed their church is ready to welcome others into God's house with them.
