While she played the piano, Miss Wendy Robertson sang with Mrs. Sharon Bourque, God Loves Me. Guests were asked to guess the number of Q -tips and swab balls in glass jar, with the winner receiving a gift. Mrs. Mason passed a tray load- ed with baby needs in front of the guests, who then were to write down the items they saw. Again the winner won a prize. A skit of baby on the way was por- trayed by Miss Robertson playing the lady, Judi, about to have the baby. Mrs. Margaret Murray played the part of husband David, Oery un- concerned about it all. When she told him three times, he suddenly realiz- ed she meant it, and went berserk stuffing things in a huge suitcase, rushing around. Meantime, "mother to be" calmly phoned her mother she was about to have the baby, and then called the Doctor. Mother arrived, and got "mother to be" ready for trip to hospital, and off they went. Husband sank into a chair, saying_he was glad they had taken that prenatal course. When he looked around he realized with a shock :hey had gone to the hospital, and off he rushed after them. David and Judi Ross opened their baby gifts. After everyone had seen them, lunch was served. February 17 Sunday morning Rev. Roger Mason ministered from Galations 6:1-2. When a Christian does sin, some seem to think they have to rebuke them har- shly. This Scripture says spiritual Christians are to go to restore them to Christ, approaching them in love and humility. The church as a com- munity of believers, should be con- cerned about the spiritual growth of other believers._ All believers have weaknesses, vulnerable spots the devil uses to try to get them to fall. They may have to help others through a difficult time. If believers make the proper ap- proach to help hurting believers, they may help restore them back to usefulness in the church. As this may be a painful experience, Christians must exercise great care in this ministry. All believers should be quali ied s. ' es ora ion is t • uty of all spiritually minded believers. Carnal, earthy and religious Chris- tians need help themselves, as Luke 6:41-42 warns them. Restoration is the duty of the gentle in spirit, as gentleness is the attitude needed. Also, restoration is the duty of the careful, lest they also be tempted. Believers are what they are because of God's grace. Restoration is the du- ty of the loving, in verse 2, fulfilling the law of Christ, which is love. help- ing another Christian by shouldering some of their burden helps restore them to Christ. This restoration ministry is one the spiritually minded believers should be engaged in, as they are responsi- ble for the spiritual welfare of other believers. Rev. Roger Mason spoke Sunday evening from Nehemiah 4:6-15, on the solution to wounding words demoralizing the church. Nehemiah brought a counter attack against these demoralizing words. The workers were discouraged, with no spirit to do the work. Nehemiah's solution was to go ahead with building the wall. Because it was God's will, they built. Whenever Christians are discouraged, they also can get heart doing God's work.

Owner appeals Court told landfill shutdown illegal A decision last April by a provincial hearing board ordering a Lucan area landfill operator to shut down was "il- legal" and "unreasonable," an On- tario divisional court panel was told Wednesday. Stephen Garrod of Guelph, lawyer for C. H. Lewis (Lucan) Ltd., told a three-member panel headed by Mr. Justice Robert Reid the decision ordering Lewis to close the Biddulph Township dump by November 30 was a "drastic" measure in light of the evidence presented before the Ontario environmental appeal board. ' "Even if there was some legal justification for doing something, the board should have done something less drastic ... that would have alleviated problems with a less drastic solution." After 21idays of legal argument before the court in Toronto by Garrod and lawyers for the Ontario environ- ment ministry and a farm couple liv- ing next to the -dump, the judges reserved their decision. At issue were two arguments: the legality of a ministry order limiting the 16.2 -hectare (40 acre) landfill to contracts in Lucan, Biddulph and Parkhill and the legality of the appeal board's order to close. Ministry lawyer John Tidball said the condition to limit Lewis's area of service should be upheld because the Bowling scores Inter -town ladies: Lucan 14 Strat- ford 16, Audrey Watt 300-691; Lucan 12 Grand Bend 18, Helen Hardy 256-693, Marg Young 285.

"It was violation of the (en- vironmental protection) act because the condition was implied in the cer- tificate anyway. And therefore, the director (of the ministry's approvals branch) had the jurisdiction to add a condition" - the condition that Lewis be restrained from increasing this operation to outlying municipalities, specifically parts of Lobo, McGillivray and London townships. But Tidball supported Garrod's contention the environmental appeal board did not have the jurisdiction to order the site closed, saying "you couldn't interpret the legislation that way. ' Steven Shyrbman, a Toronto lawyer representing Peter and Erika Nippa, property owners living next to the dump, argued the ministry direc- tor acted within his jurisdiction to protect the public good by placing the limited condition on Lewis's licence. He said Cecil Lewis, owner of the site, had shown disregard for the pro- vince's environmental legislation and had operated the landfill in a "callous" manner. David, Goliath at YC "David and Goliath", a play presented by junior -age children of the Sunday School, was the highlight of morning service at Lucan United Church, Sunday. Barb Coughlin, and Linda and Dale Froats directed their pupils in a play which presented some of the main events of David's early life until the time he was anointed king. Carrie Lane, as the elderly King David, reminisced on his earlier years at the beginning of each act. "You never know what might happen when you let the Lord lead you!" he began. The events that followed il- lustrated this truth. Neil Froats, as the young David, ex- pressed his feelings in song as the play progressed. "I will follow You, for your way is best for me," he sang, and later, as he faced great dif- ficulties, "I am crying to You". Brad Coughlin as Jonathan, David's best friend, sang with Neil, "Lend a Help- ing Hand". Others taking speaking parts were as follows: David's brothers - Eric Schatzler, Andrew Barr and Fraser Gatt; Saul - Denise Ward; Soldiers - Bobby Jo Quinlan, Mike Munro, Angie Sire, Jamie Froats; Goliath - Dale Froats; Servants - Angie Latta and Mary Holden; sick man - Celeste Guthrie; messenger - Laura Culbert; priest -DarcyMaguire; a girl - Tam- my Graham. Other children par- ticipated as soldiers and townspeople. Several songs emphasized the message of God's power and care.
