Keith Lucas and Dave Cowan said the existing building recently pur- chased by council was basically sound and could be converted to residential units. Their report went on to say, "Feasibility of converting to rental units would depend solely on cost and could only be accurately determined by having an architect prepare plans and cost estimates. Interest free loans of $7,000 per unit are available for conversion to rent Bowling scores Intertown - Ladies: Lucan 1612, St. Marys 13' 2. Joan Scott 288-659 - Janice Capitano 233-611.

Lucas said Lucan was the first municipality showing interest in such a program. He continued,"The only problem we have here is that a need for senior housing must be identified. A survey two years ago indicated very little interest." Reeve Norm Steeper said he felt the Lions Club would be willing to carry out another survey. He added, "I think if these surveys are explained properly and individually we will find the necessary need. Steeper said he knows of a number of Lucan residents who have moved elswhere.

In other business, Council: Took no action on a Middlesex Board of Education request to include the question of funding to separate school boards on the 1985 election ballots. Agreed to order a minimum number of trees from the Ausable- Bayfield Conservation authority for a windbreak. Learned that $100 worth of tulip bulbs have arrived to be used for beautification of the village through the local horticultural society which is just, being organized. Decided to engage Business Com- puter Services to prepare the 1986 municipal tax notices. Reeve Steeper, deputy -reeve Harry Wraith and councillors Larry Hotson, Bryan Smith and Tom England have indicated they will be available for re- election.

Changes in school areas A redistribution of zones in the rural areas for the London -Middlesex Separate School board has left incum- bent members and challengers with some difficult choices. In September, the five areas from which representatives are elected was reduced to four in the county. The city membership on the board was correspondingly increased from 11 to 12 members. The shift was necessitated by the fact that Separate School assessment in London went up more than it did throughout Middlesex county. Board chairman Helen McHenry is the first of the candidates to make her intentions known. She'll be contesting the new area two, which encompasses the municipalities of Lucan, Ailsa Craig, Parkhill, Biddulph, McGillivray and East and West Williams. Area three, the other zone at the northern part of the county, takes in the townships of London, Blanshard, West Nissouri, North Dorchester and Lobo. Eligible residents in the county can contest any of the four areas, or even seats in London. In fact, speculation is that one of the five current rural members will be running in London. Mrs. McHenry is a resident of Lobo Township. • Nominations NOTICE TO PUBLIC SCHOOL ELECTORS IN THE TOWNSHIP OF BIDDULPH AND THE VILLAGE OF LUCAN TAKE NOTICE that the period during which nomination papers may be filed in the office of the Township of Biddulph Clerk, (located '/. mile South East of Lucan on Highway No. 4) to fill the office of (1) one Trustee to represent the above-mentioned area collectively on the Middlesex County Board of Education for the years 1986, 1987 and 1988 will commence on October 17th, 1985 at the hour of 9:00 o'clock a.m. and will close on October 21st 1985 of the hour of 5:00 o'clock p.m. Ray G.

Worldwide Communion Sunday was observed Sunday morning at Lucan-Clandeboye United Church as the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was celebrated. Mr. and Mrs. Tom Rushton and Mr. and Mrs. Armin Schatzler were received into the con- gregation by transfer of membership. The choir, in their anthem "Worthy, worthy is the Lamb" led the con- gregation in worship of the One whose death for our sake we remember at this service. Mr. Brown led those present in meditation upon this sacrament, poin- ting out that it dramatizes Christ's death for us. As we look back at the historic event, we see God's love in action, sacrificing Himself for our sake, paying the penalty that our sins may be removed, and opening the door for fellowship with God. - As we look upward, we see Jesus exalted to the position of Lordship, and are reminded that every knee shall bow before Him. As we look in- ward, we see our need to have all at- titudes that are contrary to His Spirit purified, remembering that He gave all for us. And as we took forward, we remember that the sacrament shows the Lord's death "Till He come", and we anticipate that time when He will come in great glory to occupy His throne. Evan and Verna Ibbitson formed the welcoming committee for the morning. A coffee hour followed the service in the C.E. Wing of the Church. Coming Events Thursday at 9:45 a.m. the Prayer and Share Fellowship meet in the C.E. Wing to continue their study in Luke's Gospel.
