The monthly Minute Talk for Missions was given by Kit Hearn in the form of a most interesting letter from Betty Bridgeman, Sacro, in which she thanked the J.C.W. for their gifts of "seeds fur Saire." Miss Bridgeman said that some of these had also been given to the Angolian refugees who were most grateful. She also passed on the sincere thanks of the leaders and members of the "Church in the Bush" for the boxes sent for this purpose. The Scripture was read by Marguerite McRoberts, Ber- nice Lockyer welcomed members and friends to the service and with Muriel Cobleigh received the offering. Two lovely duets "Sweet the Holy Spirit" and "Just a Closer Walk with Thee" were sung by Mary Degraw and Shirley Jones. Speaking from the theme "Can These Dry Bones Live" Mr. Jardine said the Hebrew Anglicans Members of Holy Trinity, Lucan, joined members of St. James, Clandeboye, with the celebration of Holy Commu- nion. Celebrant and in charge of the service was the Rev. Edward C. Attwell, rector of the Parish of March in the Diocese of Ottawa. Marion Hodgins read the Epistle. ap- pointed for the sixth Sunday after Trinity. Rev. Attwell based his ser- • mon on the Gospel for the day - the familiar story of the Good Samaritan. The Samaritan did not hesitate or stop to calculate the risks, in- volved. He saw a man in need and set about to help meet these needs. Jesus is asking His followers to show this same unselfish concern to the "walking wounded" of our society. Wherever we see a need we are called to respond with Christian love. The flowers on the altar were given by Kenneth and Marie .Holland with thanksgiving. They were united in marriage on Saturday. The Sunday worship ser- vices continue at St. James. Clandeboye for July at 9:30 a.m. Next week Hazel Cunn- ingham and Alan Cunn- ingham will be in charge of the Lay Service., people lost sight of God while in the wilderness as well as after they reached Israel when over a period of years, they accepted many of the heathen ways of the surroun- ding nations. Even though the nation was invaded, con- quered and all the youth taken into captivity in Babylon, God's message of encouragement to Ezekiel was that He was still with His people even in a strange land and there would be a resurgence of Faith. Mr. Jardine likened the ex- ile of the Israelite youth to the separation we have when we "split" with our marriage partner, with parents in anger, etc. The Interdenominational Prayer and Share Group has been cancelled for tomorrow, Thursday, but will continue on July 28th and alternate Thursdays thereafter. The Book of Proverbs is being studied and all - women are invited.

O Ready for opportunities Call for pre.zoning of village lund Lucan council has agreed to develop an industrial, com- mercial strategy for the village calling for pre -zoning of selected sites of land. Reeve Norm Steeper told the T -A, "Under our present system we are zoned for what vie have now. We have to be able to take advantage of a situation when it arises by having the land zoned proper- ly and ready to go." Steeper continued, "The basic premise is that small businesses don't want to locate near London because of the fear of annexation or along busy highways like 401 because of the exorbitant ask- ing prices for land." "We would like to capitalize on this type of situation by preparing a bulletin and let- ting people know what we have available," concluded the reeve. An ad hoc committee com- prising reeve Steeper and councillors Larry Hotson and Bryan Smith has been set up to prepare a strategy to be considered by council hopefully at the September meeting The lawn watering restric- tions imposed June 1 by coun- cil due to repairs necessary Man sought for breakin One man has been ap- prehended and police are searching for a second person in connection with a pair of weekend breakins at the Li- quor Control Board store in Lucan.

About 2:20 a.m. Monday, two men were seen in the area of the liquor store by Con- stable Goldschmidt who lives nearby and he alerted Con- stable Vance.
