This year, 30 businesses, a record number, shared their expertise on -4wedding planning and homemak- • ging. Their displays were outstand- ing and offered many worthwhile ideas for the brides-to-be. The highlight of the evening was i a fashion show in which local mod- •: -:els displayed beautiful bridal attire from The Wedding Knot and the very latest in coordinating formal wear from Bud Gowan. Country 'Flowers provided the bouquets for .the show as well as the breathtak- :ing stage decor. Fashions for the :zbridal trousseau and honeymoon were from Clothes Call and Cameo .Lingerie and Loungewear.

Beginning last year with the vision of several Christiap business men meeting in a London tavern for Bible study, more than 65 churches are now co- operating to do the distribution. The plan includes every home in London, Woodstock, Strathroy, Komoka, Lucan, Parkhill and For- est. Funding the distribution out of their own resources, this joint ef- fort spans Anglican. Baptist, Breth- • ren in Qhrist, Christian Reformed, Church of Christ, Church of God, Church of the Nazarene, Congrega- tional, Lutheran, Pentecostal, Ply- mouth Brethren, Presbyterian, Re- formed, Salvation Army, United and non -denominational churches. Organizers are quick to point out that participating churches are not just trying+Rq increase church atten- dance. They arc quite aware that many who receive the fret video may never be interested in church. Instead, the outreach is designed to give people the opportunity to ex- amine the Bible's message about Jesus for themselves in the privacy of their own homes. Later, home Bible studies will be offered to those who wish them. Currently in 250 languages, "Je- sus" has been seen by over 450 million people around the world, including the former Soviet Union, making it the most translated and viewed film in human history. Filmed in its authentic setting of the Holy Land, its actors them- selves have been profoundly affect- ed by its message. Chosen for their professional acting ability, each has come to personal faith in Jesus through working with the film. Every word of the script is taken from the Bible's Gospel of Luke. The distribution of the video is closely tied with London's 200th anniversary. Lt. John Simcoe stood at the Forks of the Thames (now Ivey ,Park) when the city was founded and prayed that from it "God's light and truth (in the Bible will spread to) this nation." Now it is expected that some 5,000 Chris- tians will gather at that same loca- tion on March 22nd for a rally of prayer and witness. They will pray for the success of the "Jesus" video distribution, not only in the London area, but also eventually to every one of Canada's nine million homes. They feel this gives them a strong tie with Simcoe's prayer. The actual distribution is sct for March 29 - April 3.

Did you know that the first prototype of the artificial kidney was developed back in 1913? But it wasn't until the mid -fifties that U.S. physicians pioneered 'hemodialysis", cleansing the blood of toxins. Nursing mothers should nurse before exercising, according to a major journal on pediatrics. After exercising, breast milk tastes sour due to a higher level of lactic acid content and infants may drink less due to this.
