Crowds' were down somewhat on Friday night and most of Saturday because of drizzling rain and threats of more but clear skies Sunday brought an onslaught of visitors. Fair chairman Larry. Hotson told the T -A Monday. ••Sunday's paid attendance of 1.118 was the largest crowd we have ever had on a Sunday." The toal three day at- tendance of 14,915 was down a bit from other nears. but. Hotson added. -We are very pleased with the overall picture. 1 know we will be waking some profit, but, at this time I wouldn't dare hazard a guess Friday evening parade was one of the best and largest ever staged in Lucan. The parade took more. than 40 minutes to pass any given point. -Lion Pat Ryan was in charge of the parade. The judges were Angela 'Clarke, Isabel Haskett and Pat Crunican. Chairman Hotson said. "I couldn't begin to thank all the people who helped in making this year's fair another success They. are too numerous to mention. It's a community affair and the support we get is tremendous." Hotson said the bingo games were very successful. A total of 225 games were played on Sunday. He added, "That's also a record for number of bingo games in one day. He indicated that the midway was bigger and better than ever and there was a better variety of exhibitors from other years. Business was also good in the food line. The Lucan- Biddulph volunteer firemen in operating a food booth went through sap pounds of t beef on a bun. Sunday's record crowd was treated to a variety of entertainment. This included a pony -pull the Molson skydivers and the Stam-' Name draw prize winners Two residents of London were winners in the Lucan Fair draw sponsored by Meadowcrest Residences Incorporated. A cribbage table went to Mrs. Margaret Ferguson, 1713 Dundas street and Jim Weber, 563 Central avenue was the winner of a quilt. UC news "Put your faith to work' was the theme of Rev. Brown's sermon Sunday morning at Lucan United Church. When Joshua took over the leadership of God's people, the Lord promised His blessing if Joshua kept God's Word central in his thinking in order to "observe to do" what it commanded. Likewise today, Christians need to open their hearts to I what God has to say to them through His Word, taking time to read and meditate in order to "observe to do" what He shows them. Said Mr. Brown, "Many of us today don't want to know God's will in order to do it, but just to have it as an in- teresting option to our own desires. But God's command here leaves no room for alternatives." If our Bible reading is to help us, we must put our faith to work by letting God have His way through our obedience to the truths that He shows us. Mabel -Froats in her Minute Talk for the Mission and Service Committee, reported on what the National United Church is doing about the tragedy of the Boat People. A refugee relief fund for S500.000 is being established, and Church people are asked to contribute through the M. and S. Fund of the Church. She described also other Relief and f5evelopment measures that. have been undertaken in needy areas to help strike at the roots of poverty and distress, Henry Kaltne's very meaningful solo, "Fill my cup, Lord," was much ap- preciated.
