Home on furlough from
Haiti, Rev. Betty Butler
ministered Tuesday evening.
After reading Psalm 126:3-6,
Miss Butler shared her
memories of when she
became a Christian 50 years
ago in Lucan.
She had to return to Canada
to renew her visa to Haiti. She
teaches English for Grades 3
to 8 in a school in Haiti. Also
she teaches English in the
Haitian Bible School,
teaching new pastors how to
interpret,
She also teaches skilled pro-
fessional people English.
Some of them have become
Christians by her example. At
the medical clinic, she is the
nurse for the doctor and the
dentists.
The people suffer from
malnutrition, and there is a
need for vitamins, penicillin,
and malaria drugs.
While on the mission field
shehas never gone hungry,
although food is very expen-
sive.All things imported from
U.S. are prohibited, but Hai-
tian grown foods are not so
expensive. When someone
has a birthday, they share the
expense to make the cake.
Miss Butler said the Chris-
tian men in Haiti want
neckties. She received an of-
fer of 25. From the ladies she
asked for tbothpaste, which is
hard to get there. Miss Butler
said she planned to spend the
rest of her life as a missionary
to Haiti.
Dave Barr said the floor of
the present building will be
reinforced to allow activities
and as many meetings as
possible.
Reeve Hearn said the park
is an ideal central location for
youth activities.
When Barr said he had
hoped a new buildidg could be
erected earlier than five
years, Hearn said the present
building could be used while
construction could start on
property located behind.
Hearn added, "I would hope
the 1986 council will start to
put money away for this type
of project. -
Barr said at present 50
Beavers and about the same
number of Cubs are using the
gym at Lucan Public School.
He said his group was will-
ing to fix up the present
building and possibly add an
addition. He added, "But, how
much time and money should
we put into an old building."
Council has returned the
sewer extension agreement to
the Ministry of the Environ-
ment and learned the study to
date has cost $13,300.
The Ministry of Transporta-
tion and Communications has
