Bruce Shaw said ciminal occurrences have decreased. Shaw contributed the lower occurrence figure to the new shift system whereby officers are on duty until 4 a.m. each morning. He continued, "During September our officers issued 19-12 hour suspensions to drinking drivers. These suspensions have also had an effect on the number of occurrences." The OPP sergeant added, "We have been plagued this summer with a lot of grab and run thefts. These include barbecues, lawn mowers and bicycles that are left on lawns in full view at night. 'These thefts are very frustrating. About, all we can do is ask residents to keep them out of sight. Shaw encourages Neigh- bourhood Watch programs saying update meetings should be held each year to keep interest up. He also suggested council investigate putting a disaster relief program into effect say- ing West Nissouri clerk Brian Parsons has an excellent plan in that community. He added. "It doesn't have to be elaborate. Just get it rolling". Shaw concluded, "We have a good staff of young officers with an average age of 31. The provincial average is 39. Reeve Norm Steeper agreed saying. "The interest your men show in our com- munity is greatly appreciated". It was a night of annual visits at Tuesday's regular meeting as the village's representative on the Ausable-Bayfield Conserva- tion Authority Ivan Hearn made his once a year report. Hearn said the Authority's budget is expected to be up by $400,000 to $1,600.000. but. the increase to the :32 par- ticipating municipalities should be held to five percent. Ile said lots at Port Franks are now being sold which will add $125,000 to income and help keep the rate down. The Lucan rep says the A- B Authority is one of 39 in the province. "We are lucky to be the size we are and able to have our own technical staff". The third visitor was bylaw enforcement officer Karl MacNaughton who reported on a recent seminar in Ottawa which dealt mainly with short form wording of certain bylaws. MacNaughton said the new bylaw could be used -for dog, parking and lawn watering in- fractions. It would eliminate a lot of work. He added, "We wouldn't have to go to a Justice of the Peace or get a summons". In his report, reeve Steeper said, "In the next few weeks we should deal with budgets and look at the salaries of our municipal employees."

When a Haitian comes to the Lord, it is whole.heartedly.While some people in North America look to a horoscope for the day, the Haitians go to the witch doctor. If anyone upsets a Haitian, they will get voodoo dust from the witch doctor to bring a curse on the one who wronged them. Dur- ing rahrah time, the Haitians on weekends parade with bands and wild dancing. Try- ing to cross a street can cause people to be attacked. The dictator president and his wife hod voodoo worship in their palace. This all started when his father sold his soul to the devil years ago. The country has gone downhill ever since. Rev. and - Mrs. Brewster have lust received the Bible in Creole in cassette tape. They plan to copy these .tapes for the illiterate Haitians, to learn from God's Word. When a doctor thinks he cannot do any more for a per- son, he is sent to the hospital for the dying. There they get food only if someone brings it to them. In any hospital the family must bring the food for the patients. Malaria, typhoid, and hepatitis are common there. Rev. and Mrs. Brewster have clinics in the mountains to help the people, citing Philippians 4:16. Rev. Ray and Becky Brewster thank the Lord for protection, on the roads because of the Haitian careless driving. They con- sider it a privelege to serve the Lord in Haiti.

Defense played a big part in the Lucan attack as they allowed only two errors and four hits against them in the entire series. Cathy Hudson pitched both game victories allowing no walks and four hits in the series for an outstanding performance. In the final series with Crediton, the Lucan squad continued their winning ways by defeating the opposition by a narrow 12-11 count. It was a seven run sixth inning that enabled the Lucan squad to come from a 7-5 deficit and hang on for the victory. Heather Hodgson's bases loaded triple highlighted the game. In game two, Crediton got off a fast start and led 11-2 before the Lucan team final- ly got on track a bit too late with five runs in the bottom of - the seventh inning but losing by a score of 11-7. In game three, the Cowgirls scored six runs in the third in- ning en route to a 10-5 triumph over Lucan.

UC Thanksgiving Thanksgiving Sunday was also Mission Sunday at Lucan United Church, October 7. Miss Lillias Brown, a United Church missionalry to India for over 30 years, was guest speaker. "See and Do" was the theme of her message. Just as Jesus did what He saw His Father do, so He challenges us to see and receive from Ilim. and then reach out in love to those around us. Lillias spoke of Mother Theresa, who because of her love for Jesus, reaches out to serve the poorest of the poor in the streets of Calcutta. She mentioned also Rashal and Ruth Mangalwadi, , a young Indian couple, who, at great cost to themselves, work among poverty-stricken farmers in the villages of In- dia, standing up for them before authorities who op- press them, and sharing with them by word and life, the love of Jesus. The sanctuary was beautifully decorated with fall produce by U.C.W. members. A special Thanksgiving choir inspired the congregations with their anthems of praise. Lillias told the boys and girls a story about Raja and Rama, twin Indian brothers who looked very much alike. However, Raja always chose the biggest and best things for himself until one day he learned a hard lesson about the value of giving and shar- ing with his brother. • - Sue Barr with the Junior helpers was in charge of junior congregation.
