Langford buys third .operation Langford Lumber and Builders Supplies Limited of Lucan have purchased their third retail operation. On January 27 they finalized the purchase of the former Fred J. Hudie — Wiseway lumber yard and retail store in Clin ton from Price Waterhouse Limited, agents for the Bank of Montreal, who had taken over the Hudie operation when the Wiseway owned Stores went into receiversip with the collapse of the parent Wiseway of Canada Ltd. Langford Lumber, under the ownership of Jerry Nurse, operate a large retail store and contractor supply yard in Lucan — serving the Lucan and surrounding area and serving many contrac- tors in the London area. This yard has been in operation since December 1. 1958 when it was purchased from the former Harvey Langford. In the spring of 1965 they open- ed their second retail yard in Parkhill in partnership with Tom Mitchell who had been an employee of the Lucan yard.. Mr., Nurse believes this latest acquisition will give them Sales Volume in the 3 to 4 million dollar year range and along with their recent joining of the Castle Home Centre buying group should make them very com- petetive in this very chang- ing and challenging market. The Clinton Store at 230 Bayfield is being managed by Don Colquhoun who is well known in the Clinton area and has had many years experience in the lumber and supply business. Assisting In the service were Debbie Hall, Jane Holden and Sherrie Smith giving the Responsive Psalm, Tabatha Froats and Matthew Lane taking the Bible Readings, and Paul Lankin, Peter Bates, Michael Holden and Brent Bannerman receiving the offering. Dale and Linda Froats were the welcoming com- mittee for this lovely oc- casion. Dale is chairman of the C.E. Committee and Linda is one of the Sunday School teachers. The Sunday School choir, under the direction of Helen Stanley, sang two choruses: "I'm Gonna Sing" and "Praise the Name of Jesus." A delightful children's story was told by Dorothy Dedels and Darrell Ibbitson, a member of the Teens' class gave the "Recipe for Prayer," assisted by Brent Bannerman who added the ingredients. The boys started with a glass of water and as the story unfolded three dif- ferent packages of white substances were added representing faith, un- ceasing prayer and last, thanksgiving. Nothing happened until the last ingredient was added, when the whole thing bubbled over, as though for joy, in- dicating that when we expect answers to our prayers we must make use of all the substances used. Superintendent Jim Robertson and Secretary - Treasurer Sherry Lane and all the teachers, are to be commended for their un- tiring efforts with the children and young people of the Sunday School.
