Lucan
Scouts and
Guides kick
off special
week
200 support Bible
school through
shampoo test
LUCAN - A special scouts and
guides service was held at the
Scout Hall, last Sunday afternoon,
to kick off Scout/Guide week.
The annual event was hosted by
th : Lucan Venturers who put on a
special presentation entitled Down
Memory Lane, to commemorate the
birthday (February 22) of Lord Ba-
den Powell. Powell introduced
scouts to Canada 75 years ago, and
the guides branched out from there.
The highest scout honour (a five
star plaque) was presented to Dax
Dionde, and the highest guide hon-
our (an all around cord) was pre-
sented to Jennie Malone during the
awards part of the program.
Lucan councilor Bryan Smith
presented the Scout Hall with a por-
trait of the Queen on behalf of Lon-
don Middlesex MP Terry Clifford.
On Thursday, February 21, a par-
ents appreciation night will be held
from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the Scout
Hall.

Lucan people lend
their noses for

•
LUCAN - Approximately 200
Lucan and area residents lent their
noses to charity, last Wednesday, at
the Lucan Revival Centre.
Sniffers came out indrovesto
smell -test four new shampoos be-
ing marketed by Chapman's, an in-
dependent consulting firm based in
Dorchester.
Chapman associates Jane Chap-
man and Mike Gilbrook decided to
get the community involved with
the smell test, and in turn, Chap -
man's is making a substantial dona-
tion to the Lucan Community Va-
cation Bible School.
"This is a good community to do
the testing," remarked Gilbrook, ad-
ding Chapman's preferred the idea of
community involvement rather than
approaching people in an urban
mall setting.
People in the village are not as
saturated by marketing promo-
tions, and are therefore more open
to new products, said Gilbrook.
The 12 -hour, lend -your -nose for
charity event was put together by
all the churches in the area, said
Gilbrook. adding Chapman's felt it
was a good way to get people from
all denominations involved. The
Revival Centre provided muffins.
and coffee for volunteers, and a
nursery was provided for their tots
while they took the big sniff.
"The whole community bene-
fits," said Gilbrook, noting Chap -
man's will benefit from the noses
of the volunteers, and Lucan will
benefit from the donation to the
Bible School.
