Nine of these accidents occurred during the heavy snowfall and poor visibility on Saturday. Seven of• the nine occurred along Highway 4. Of the 18 accidents 13 resulted frorn large snow drifts across the roadway, ice or snowcovcred patch- es and whiteouts, causing poor driving conditions. Fortunately only five of the 31 persons involved were injured, three with major injuries and the other two suffering minor injuries. All five injured parties were wear- ing their seatbelts and it is believed that the injuries would have been considerably worse had the seat- belts not been in use. Due to a four car pile-up on Highway 4, near the 15-16 Con- cession of London township, the highway was closed to traffic for approximately 30 minutes, on Sat- urday. O.P.P. officers investigated 46 general occurrences during this per- iod of time, Included in these oc- currences were break, enter and thefts, several vehicle in the ditch, vehicles interfering with snow re- moval and the continuing problem of false alarms. Remember, if you witness an of- fence occurring that may involve a vehicle, take down the licence plate number and any other descriptions you may be able to obtain. This will help the police in tracing pos- sible vehicles involved. Revival Centre news Sunday morning Rev. Roger Ma- son led the service. Rev. Mason spoke from Genesis 32:22-30. This is the story of Jacob, wrestling with au angel. Jacob's name means supplanter, which tells of•.his ac- tions in getting the birthright from his brother. Fleeing fromhis broth- er, Jacob lived by his wits until he decided to go back to see his broth- er. At this time Jacob was going to ask for mercy from his brother Esau, and from God. Jacob had found no peace in the inner struggle with God. Jacob wrestled all this night in darkness with an angel from God. Even believers find themselves wrestling in darkness, like. Jacob, estruggling against God, without knowing it. The physical struggle symbolizes the inncr struggle. Many Christians project how they want to live their lives, and arc actually fighting God's rule over them. Jacob did not prevail but lost out to God. The angel of God dislo- cated Jacob's hip, and Jacob's camal weapons were' gone. Jacob was humbled before God. Everyone who decides to fight God needs to realize God is all pow- erful, and they will lose to God. God may put a person on their back to break the stubborn will to gct- them to see they have to rely on GUIDES ALL ROUND CORD - These Girl Guides were presented their All Round Cord awards on Sunday at the Girl Guides and Boy Scouts Thinking Day Service in Lucan.

Rev. Roger Mason spoke Sunday evening from Mark 12:13-34, recording three questions put to Je- sus, and His answers. The .first question from Pharisees and Herodi- ans tried to trap Jesus, by asking Him on paying tribute to Caesar. Pharisees hated the Roman coin with the image of -Caesar on denot- ing idolatry.- Jesus' answer was to have this Roman coin brought to Him, asking whose image on it. When told Caesar's, Jesus said to render to Caesar the things that.bc- long to him, and to God the things that are God's. Because God's image is on Christians, _ they are to give God themselves. and Brownies to grow and develop into Cubs, Guides, Scouts and Ven- turers and "spread their wings". Many Religion in Life awards on various levels were given by Rev. Bruce Pocock, Rev. Darrell Shaule and leaders.
