Correspondent: Mrs. M.N. Hodgins
Adverse weather conditions
cause numerous accidents
The unusual winter. weather
• which arrived in the area late
Wednesday night played havoc
with area roads and was
responsible for a rash of ac-
cidents.

ment of the Ontario Provincial
police investigated 17 accidents

evening.
The detachment's community
services officer, Constable G. J.

certainly responsible. For-
tunately
ortunately all injuries were
minor."
Baker continued, "the number
of- generaloccurrences in-
vestigated rose considerably
largely due to the number of
requests from snow plows
wanting abandoned vehicles
removed from roads4ays.
The first of three Wednesday
accidents occurred on Highway 7
about a half mile west of the
London -East Williams townline
when • a truck driven by Don
Watson, RR 5, Parkhill rolled into
Enjoy stew
during storm
Thursday afternoon, at the
height of the storm, Marlyne
McFalls got out her very largest
stew kettle and went to work on a
good old mess of stew. Why?
Because Marlyne and Gary knew'
that many of the staff of Haskett
Motors would not be able to get •
home, and with a gas stove,
cooking was no problem.
The men, plus a "frozen out"
Isobel and Dougie Haskett, really
enjoyed the "storm stew" and the
fellowship shared while the wild
winds blew.

discussed some plans for ad-
ditions to the present arena.
Hotson said proposed additions
will cost about $500,000. On a cost -
share basis Lucan will pay 45
percent, Biddulph Township 40
percent, and McGillivray and
London Townships each 71:2
,percent. Those percentages
come from a slightly adjusted
and rounded out figure of the
present use of the facility by the
areas' involved. Hotson indicated.
The new facility will be added
on to the arena. It will consist of a
70 by 90 foot gymnasium, dressing
rooms and entrances.
Councillor Norm Steeper said
Lucan was classed as a dor-
matory v rage.He said helthought
(here would never be any in-
dustry in Lucan. He also said that
Lucan may become an en-
tertainment centre for London,
and wondered if the half million
dollar project would be large
enough.

there should be public hearings td
see what the people want in the
new facility.
Hotson said the Preschool
Association wanted a small
room, about 750 square feet. He
said "wants will come when it is
made known."
Reeve Hearn explained that
approval for the project, must
come from the Ontario Municial
Board, adding that the OMB
might not allow Lucan to get into
this much debt. •
Council agreed to accept the 45
percent cost-sharing figure, up to
a maximum of $5,000 to get plans
made for the project.
Reeve Hearn asked the council
members for their opinion on a
proposed home for the aged for
Lucan. He said last year's council
was in favour of it, and all
membttrs the present council
seemed to approve.
In describing the home, Hearn
.said it woul be of about 120 beds,
and employ 50 to 200 people. It
would occupy ut eight acres of
property. He said Lucan is in
contention to get the home with
Dorchester.
Some members of council
seemed to think that Lucan had
an advantage in getting the home
because it has sewers, where
Dorchester does not.
In other business, an Ontario
Humane Society bylaw to control
was tabled.
A letter was received from the
Ontario Conference on Local
Government, John Cochrane
president. Norm Steeper said
he's never heard about it before
as planning board chairman.
Hearn said as a member of
County- Council and Reeve, he
had never heard of it before . He
said he would ask at the next
meeting of Middlesex County
Council about the organization,
which was soliciting funds.
It was agreed to allow the
Ministry of Transport to paint the
lines on Main Street, but not at
the school crossings similar to
what was done last year.
The community liaison com-
mittee and the municipal em-
ployees will meet to see if the
employees are interested in the
OMERS pension plan.
Answering a questionnaire,
council said they saw no need to
change the date of the municipal
elections from the first Monday
in December; said that Monday
wasthe must appropriate day for
voting; agreed that a new council
should assume their new offices
as of January 1; did hot agree
that there should be a change of
the term of office from the
present two years; and saw no
need for the change in the fiscal
year for municipalities. .
