At Tuesday's regular meeting, reeve Norm steper Om& the sub- ject up at the outset. Steeper said his biggest concern was the way the service was remov- ed. He added, "The change was made without any consultation locally. Our people were let down without due and proper notice. The one ambulance which was bas- ed in Lucan and operated by Bill Hasketthas been moved to London to fill a need there. The reeve continued, "It's fine that London neededanother vehicle, but, let's have justification for taking our service away. If the method used was different it may have been accepted." Councillor Bryan Smith com- mented, "It's a service that we and the community need."

Mills said with inflation costs Lucan's share of the expansion could be as much as $575,000 which would require annual payments of $81,756 for 30 years. The Ministry of the Environment has asked for a bylaw outlining the village's method of collection of the capital expenditures. Council is meeting with Ministry of- ficials later this week to discuss the matter further. The auditor said his projected an- nual repayment figures could be decreased by increasing the sur- charge on the water rate. Currently residents are paying 70 percent of their water bills as a sewer surcharge. In other business, council: Agreed to not sign an agreement with the Middlesex Library board and Name is expression of one's character Rev. Roger Mason Sunday morning ministered from Psalm 113:1-4. Throughout the Psalms we are told to praise the name of the Lord. In the eastern countries a name was an ex- pression of a person's character. In the names given to God we find God's character and attributes. Jehovah-Jireh in Genesis 22:14 is the name Abraham called a place meaning the Lord will provide. Jireh actually means to see beforehand. That is why God anticipates our needs to provide for us. In Exodus 15:26 God gives a condi- tionary promise to Israel if they listen to His voice and obey Him, He would not put the Egyptian diseases on them, because His name is Jehovah - Raphe, the God who heals. It is part of God's nature to heal and to restore. Today we need to know Jehovah - Raphe, live in right relationship with Him, and recognize Him as our healer. Jesus' healing ministry show- ed God to be the healer. Sunday evening Rev. Roger.Mason continued the study of the names of God showing God's character. In Judges 6:24, after God spoke peace to him, Gideon built an altar to the Lord, and called it Jehovah Shalom, mean- ing the Lord our peace. Although Israel was in great oppression at this time, God's' comforting words gave Gideon peace. God can bring tran- quility and calm to our lives when we Foot clinic for seniors The Lucan Sunshine and Busy Bud- dies met at the Scout and Guide club hall Thursday for their weekly meeting.

From the Shepherd Psalm, Psalm 23:1, we read of Jehovah-Roki, the Lord our Shepherd. In his life of trusting God in all trials, David could say God was his Shepherd. A Shepherd looks after and leads his sheep. In verse 4, the shepherd pro- tects his flock. The Lord Jesus Christ is our leaded, guide, cares for and provides for us as His sheep. As our Shepherd, God restores our soul.

TOWNSHIP OF McGILLIVRAY RESIDENTS 1 wish to draw your attention to section 157 of the Highway Act. It is a chargeable offence to deposit ice, snow, etc. on the road. If as a result of such ac- tion from a private operation, an accident is caused from a real or preconceived danger, the party respon- sible would be held liable in any subsequent court action. In light of this, and the current awareness of unusually high liability claims and settlements it would be prudent for everyone to try to avoid any possiblity of involvement.
