New constituflon for new riding
History was made at Medway High
School on Thursday evening, August
14 when a very large crowd of very
active progressive Conservatives,
both youth and seniors gathered to
pass the new constitution for both
levels of the new association.
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.,

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

Try to bring a friend or a neighbour

the P.C.'s can have a good time just
being together.
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.

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.

United Chu
A very meaningful service was en-
joyed by the same faithful worship-
pers, who, every Sunday throught the
summer, have come to praise God at
Lucan United Church.
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. Two driving licence
suspensions of 12 hours were issued
and two persons were charged with
violations of the Liquor Licence Act.
rch service
purchased us back again by His death
on the cross and returned us to God
- our original owner and creator.
We were introduced to our new
pastor's "The Shauls" whom we feel
sure will be°a great blessing to our
Church.
Larry Cruttenden continued his
study on "false teachings". 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.
