This was the inaugural meeting of the new riding of the P.C. Association for the riding of Middlesex. The peo- ple registered at that meeting are the founding members of this riding association, and as such they will help shape it into a rrogressive Conser- vative stronghold once again. Some of the members at that meeting can recall the good days when Dr. W.A. (Bill) Stewart represented us at Queens Park. One must also remember that Bob Eaton served the old riding with a great deal of zest for a considerable time. Mike Murphy, as president of the old riding was in charge of the first portion of the meeting. The Young P.C.'s had their con- stitution accepted as it was presented. Their second order of business was to select a new slate of officers, etc. The new president is Chris Naus from Strathroy, and the secretary is Doug Hoelzli also from Strathroy. Carol Stephenson, Lobo township, Jackie Maddeford, Delaware twp. This is a lively, group and they look like they will promote the P.C. cuase in this new riding of Middlesex, and will gather new members throughout the year from every corner of this riding. The new constitution for the senior group Was outlined by Mike Murphy. It contains some clauses from both of the old ridings. It was accepted by all the members present, The election of officers followed, --- Margaret Smith of RR 1 Thorndale was the unanimous choice of the members present for the presidents chair of our new riding. Peter McBirnie RR 3 Thorndale was chosen as 1st Vice President. Linda Sutherland of Putnam, elected second vice-president. Mary Thompson of Strathroy, who has done such a good job as recording secretary over the past years has won her position once again without any one contesting her for 'he job. Now with a lot of new faces to get to know in our brand new riding, with M: Smith with her hand on the throt , with the three vice presidents that were elected from the members pre- sent looking after the "Vice" and hav- ing Mary Thompson to record all the excitement that is destined to happen in the next 12 months, -- this new riding with the P.C.'s on the upswing, can't do anything but succeed. There were 10 directors chosen -- Marie May, London Twp., Bill Norris Parkhill, Nancy Robson, Lobo Twp., Bonnie Adams, Westminster, Jim Ypung, .Luean, Jean Glover Delaware, Ruth Cochrane Mt.

Peter Catlos was nominated but he declined to prevent an election being held to fill these positions. price of a ticket just to watch and hear The delegates to the Hamilton con- vention were selected along with the alternates. At this time Margaret Smith took charge of the meeting as the new president. Her first duty was to thank Mike Murphy for his years of dedication and faithful service te. the old riding. Margaret presented Mike with a gift in appreciation of his time spent in the service of the par- ty. Most people agree with Mike's politics, but they have second thoughts about his ability to pick a winning baseball team. Margaret Smith gave a very sincere, and slightly emotional thank you speech to everyone. She mention- ed especially her family who have had to make do with the odd hot dog as she has persued her political quest. After Margaret's address Tom Long, the candidate for the president of the Ontario P.C. party addressed the meeting. Terry Clifford, Federal MP was guest speaker. He outlined the goals or at (east some of the goals that have been achieved and some that are be- ing initiated by the Federal Govern- ment. Sid Fraleigh, MP neighbour to the west, spoke briefly and both men marvelled at the large response we had to this meeting. They could both see nothing but success for this new riding. Bob Eaton, who has served this old riding for so many years, was there with : me tickets to distribute to the NEW MIDDLESEX P.C. PRESI- DENT — Margaret S.

Don't forget the corn roast on September 13 at John and Marie May's ranch on the Cameron Side Road. We understand as this is being read, John and Marie are in some secluded forest in England trying to purchase extra fast squirrels that have been raised on English walnuts, to add to their stable that they have imported from shall we say north of the city. John could have some trou- ble with his new imports because ac- cording to the judges for the squirrel race the animal has to be a resident of the riding for (30) days to be eligi- ble to race. Rumor has it that John has in- vented an automatic electric pooper scooper for the squirrels. Every one knows how John likes a neat lawn, and besides his radishes and cauliflower could use a little fresh fer- tilizer. See you at the picnic at Delaware, the dinner at Wonderland, the corn roast, or whatever activities the executive can manufacture. Front the Revival Centre Lucan Community Vacation Bible School held their closing exercises Friday evening in Lucan Revival Cen- tre. Rev. Roger Mason welcomed everyone, then opened in prayer. A very large Nursery class, led by Mrs. Judi Ross sang the theme song Jesus Cares for You, in welcoming parents and friends. Mrs. Marlene Thornton led the little ones in happi- ly singing action chorus "If you love Jesus". Miss Annelies Sloetjes as roving reporter gave the VBS news about the amusing activities behind the scenes. Puppets discussed the day's happen- ings. The beginners class camel pup- pet quoted I John 4:19 as the theme of the VBS. The class sang I Love you because You first Loved Me. The youth class, costumed for their parts, presented their skit of the wed- ding in Cana, where they ran out of wine. Jesus' mother had the servants obey Jesus. Jesus commanded the servants to fill several water pots with water, then carry the water to the ruler of the wedding feast. The ruler found the water was better wine than the first wine. Jesus had met thei)r_fleed in performing His first miracle. A group of beginners played per- cussion instruments as they sang, led by Mrs. Ross, Give Thank.,. Next the Primary class sang and acted out their story of the lady who came to fill her water pots of the well, and found Jesus there. Jesus forgave her of her past life, Mrs. Ross and Mrs. Thorn- ton led all in singing Jesus is Lord as a round. The roving reporter, Annelies Sloet- jes, interviewed several girls playing the VBS leaders on how VBS went. The director gave a glowing report of thanks to all who helped. The registrar and treasurer gave their reports of a record attendance of 166 average, with 192 enrolled. The daily offering amounting to $218.04 is to go towards building benches for a new church in Haiti. Mrs. Sloetjes, direc- tor, personally thanked everyone who helped with so many children. After some of the children took up the offering, the middlers class, led by Mr. Mike Stahle presented I love You for showing Compassion. They sang God Loves You. All the class quoted from 1 Corinthians 13, the love chapter, before singing Jesus' Love is so Wonderful. The kid's club puppeteers talked to a boy who used to have a pigtail and an earring in one ear. He has ac- cepted Jesus as his Savior and decid- ed he did not need them any more. They wanted to know where to go to Sunday School so they could learn more about Jesus. Mrs. Ross led in singing theme song Jesus I love You, before the roving reporter read a final VBS news. She invited everyone to have refreshments in the Fellowship Hall, and view the crafts the children had made. Mrs. Ross announced the even- ing offering wag $292.40, which met the needs of this year's VBS. Rev. J. Shaule closed in prayer. Mrs. Judi Ross did an excellent job of leading the singing. Before each class performed Miss Theresa Lojzer acted very well as a movie announc- ing and saying Teke it. This program was well organized. Sunday Morning Rev. Roger Mason ministered from Luke 5:4-11. When the skilled fishermen obeyed the carpenter of Galilee, the Lord Jesus, they got the results they were looking for. After this Jesus told them he would make them fishers of men. To be a fisher of men a Christian has to have a right goal. These pro- fessional fishermen knew how to catch fish for their living. Genuine believers should have the same serious attitude in evangelism as serious fishermen. Their goal should be to reach Tots of people with the gospel of Jesus Christ. A casual Christian thinks if he keeps his attitude right, influences some people, he is doing all right. Unless a professional fisherman cat- ches lots of fish he has lost out. Unless a Christian wins people for the Lord he has not done his job. Sunday evenings Rev. Roger Mason, from Matthew 28:19-20, talk- ed of sowing seed in the right place at the right time, with the right method.

It may not have been Beulah Land but it was the next best thing - Mrs. James Robertson played "In my heart there rings of melody"of "How Great Thou Art", her daughter Jane assisted on the piano. • We will miss Jane when she returns to her teaching job in the west. The children's story told by Flora is always interesting and different and this week was no exception. It had to do with a small boy and his prize possession, his boat, which he lost while sailing it, only to be found later and purchased, because after all it was his, he had made it. God made all of us and we become separated from Him by sin - Jesus ed with impaired driving and with an alert refusal.

Compar- ing the good news gospel to a diamond with it many facets. The most impor- tant of which is a "living" God. One who not only loves us with a great love - but is alive and here and cares about each of us as individuals. The therapy of God's love, is a stablizing factor in many troubled lives today. He will never reject us - I shall be their God and they shall be my people, thus sayeth the Lord.
