The services and protection com- mittee has discussed the possibility of erecting three way stop signs at the corner of Beech and Kent streets and four way stops where Butler and Stanley streets intersect. In the discussion councillor Bob Hodge said, "I'm not against this, but, how do you enforce it." • At a public meeting prior to Tues- day's regular session, council approv- ed amendments to the Neighbourhood Improvement Program for 1986-87. Changes were made in the amounts of expenditures for main street sidewalks. Beech street water lines; street lights; refreshment booth, ball diamonds, swimming pool and sound system at the Lucan Community Cen- tre, administration and contingency for municipal drainage works. Provincial grants are forthcoming on total expenditures of $116,272.40 on this third . year of a three year program. . Reeve Norm Steeper commended clerk Ed Melanson and works superintendent Doug Johnston and their staffs for "holding the ship together during a very busy summer and there probably won't be any let up. Johnston was instructed to install some new playground equipment which has just arrived. The finance committee has recom- mended the purchase of a new photo copier. Clerk Melanson said this would be possible with monies from a reserve fund. Melanson had good news for coun- cil saying, "I think our finances are sufficient so we will not have to bor- row any money for village purposes this fall." Reeve Steeper reported on an August 13 meeting of the seniors hous- ing interim committee. Other members are councillors Bryan Smith and Bob Hodge, Paul Dykeman of the Lions Club, John Hope of the Optimists and Jim Murphy represen- ting the Legion. The mandate of the committee is to determine the extent and type of seniors accommodation required to serve the needs of Lucan and its environ. They will investigate and organize financing required through public subscription if necessary, private sources and senior government grant programs and establish after con- sultation with government program advisors, a time limit to meet finan- cing and construction goals. Included will be to investigate and recommend to council services of ar- chitects, consultants and construction companies; acquire suitable proper- ty to meet identified needs and establish guidelines for pre -renting and renting. units. Steeper told the committee, coun- cil did not have a mandate from the electors to purchase the M frket street y from reserve funds ata cost of $61,500 including legal fees. It is necessary to sell the land at some point to return the money to the village reserves. Paul Dykeman stated that he had been in contact with Keith Lucas of the Ministry of Housing and reported that the emphasis once placed on senior housing has now been shifted to the family affordable housing. Because Lucan has no senior accom- modation at all he felt there would be no problem getting funding. Up front money is also available for surveys, etc. Discussion followed concerning various means of obtaining funds through government as well as private sources. Bryan Smith reviewed the Convert to Rent Program with the committee and stated that although the building was demolished it still qualified under the program because it was certified by an architect that it was not suitable for renovations under the program. From United Church "Know that the Lord is God; It is He that has made us; We are His Peo- ple and the sheep of His Pasture. Mr. Shaule's message at Lucan United Church Sunday was "A Prayer -Conditioned Church", Prayer, a tough subject, how to pray, simply and from the heart, when to pray, constantly; to be in an attitude of prayer, as natural as breathing: Do not wait for an emergency to strike or a calamity to fall, before we remember to pray. Prayer takes time and practice. Jesus, in the midst of the crowds, waiting for His miracles of healing had to go off by Himself and pray to His Father. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. The health of the congregation of each church is determined by the prayers of and for each member. The children's story time was given over to a finger exercise tau ht b Mrs Shaule. One and two, Jesus toves you. One, two and three, Jesus loves me. Three and four, He loves you more than you have ever been loved ess l -phi before. Five, six and seven, friends are like Heaven. Eight and nine, they BIBLE SCHOOL really are fine. Eight, nine and ten, this is the end.

T -A photo Guest speaker at Revival Centre Reverend Roger Mason introduced Sunday morning Andrew Eastmond, to be the guest speaker. Mr. East - mond is originally from New Zealand, now living in Salina, Louisiana, U.S.A., Andrew and Kathy Eastmond have ministered throughout the U.S.A., Australia, and New Zealand. Mr. Eastmond, playing his guitar led in joyful worship chorus singing. Ile told how he had left New Zealand, then travelled to England, and through Europe, earning his living playing his music. But he was unhap- py with his life of wrong relationships. In Louisiana a girl asked him to go to church with her. There he found the sweetness of Jesus. Ile gave his musical talent to serve the Lord. Mr. Eastmond played and sang several songs, starting with Who do men say that I am'' Mrs. Kathy East - mond joined her husband as they sang Jesus had some friends. From Luke 17:12-19, Mr. Eastmond told of the isolation of lepers in Israel then. Lepers could not buy and sell in the markets, or go into the temple, or touch other people, crying unclean.

Mr. Eastmond said that, even in his own family he was never good enough, and the devil told him he was no good. Leprosy numbs the nervous system, just as sin sears the conscious. Sunday evening Andrew Eastmond opened the service leading in chorus singing as he played his guitar. He then sang several gospel songs. Mr. Eastmond said when he was saved he did not know there was Christian music. Coming to the Lord in a church of 4000 in New Orleans, he joined a small Bible study group to learn the Bible. Many of the songs he learned to sing are scripture. After singing Isaiah 6:1-8 he said God will do a lot with a willing vessel, cleansed from sin, to work for Him. Like Isaiah, Mr. Eastmond wanted to be obedient to the Lord. He sang from the gospels the truth of practicing Christianity. Adapted from the song Mary had a lit- tle lamb, he sang the story of Jesus' birth, life, death, and saving power. The gospel of John says Jesus was manifested to destroy the works of the devil. Stating today is a new beginning, Kathy and Andrew Eastmond sang the song This is only the Beginning. From Hebrews 10:22 they sang Let us. Mr. Eastmond spoke from 11 Timothy 1:6-7. There are different stages of growth God takes us to, giv- ing us little by little what we need. God gives each Christian the measure of faith they need. Because the shepherd cannot make sheep, the church members, the sheep, are to make sheep. Because God gives each Christian a talent, he is responsible to use it for God. The burnout rate for pastors is great because people want to come to church, and go home and forget it. Leading in worship choruses, Mr. Eastmond closed the service. Upcoming events-- Sunday September 6, Mr. Larry ('ruttenden will be ministering in the evening service. Sunday, September 14, Guest minister for both services will be Mr. William Davies.

Highway deaths on holiday weekends have been drastically reduced. To remind motorists of their responsibilities, the OPP "Strict is Fair" traffic enforcement program continues in full effect. As impaired driving and excessive speed continue to be the main factors in most fatal accidents, the OPP will be utilizing their R.I.D.E. program and radar units to reduce traffic ac- cidents and death. "This summer the Ontario drivers, response to traffic safety initiatives by all police forces in Ontario has been very rewarding" said OPP Com- missioner Archie Ferguson. Commissioner Ferguson expresses his sympathy to those families who have lost loved ones through tragic car accidents and pledges a max- imum effort by his officers to minimize any further loss of lives on Ontario's highways. During the 1985 Labour Day weekend 10 people were killed in nine fatal traffic accidents on roads patrolled by the OPP.
