Families attend
Invest 17 eager Beavers
Dave Mawdsley opened the
Tuesday night beaver
meeting and welcomed
parents before 17 young kids
were invested as eager
beavers, at Lucan Public
School. They had been prac-
ticing their motto, promise
and law during beaver
meetings and at home since
the beginning of October and
A.D.C. Ted Peckham had the
honour of investing them
while their families and
leaders looked on.
Following the boys
ceremony, new leader, Lori
Bartley was also invested.
Action songs and games were
led by leader Terry Mawdsley
for all to take part in. Scott
Chatterson and Ryan Thomas
had taught their moms the
song and actions to "Have
you ever been fishing" after
a previous meeting and the
two boys and their moms led
everyone in this fun song, in-
creasing the speed each time
it was sung.
The invested boys and
leaders had their pictures
taken before everyone was
served cake which had been
appropriately decorated for a
beaver investiture by leaders
Terry and Chris. The closing
ceremony followed with each
beaver receivin his registra-
tion flash and card.
Beavers is thriving again
this year in Lucan with 44
boys registered. New leaders,
Chris Schlatzler, received her
wogglefor completing her
Woodbadge 1 course in Clin-
ton on Nov. 3 and 4th
weekend. She thoroughly en-
joyed the course and has lots
of new ideas and enthusiasm
to share with her colony.
Colonies B and C received
a warm welcome from
seniors at Craigholme,
Ndvember 9, when they arriv-
ed to sing songs and share
their friendship with the folks
there. The boys recognized
many familiar faces from
Lucan.
All the beavers are looking
forward to the opening of the
new Scout -Guide Hall Sat.,
Nov. 24. Pancakes are being

Five years planning ends
Times -Advocate, November 21, 1984
Page 7A
New Scout -Guide hall to open Saturday
Five yearsot planning, fund-
raising, negotiations and
hard work by Lucan Scouting
and Guiding will bear fruit
Saturday when Ev McCrim-
mon, Provincial Commis-
sioner for Ontario, Boy Scouts
of Canada, and Anne Miller,
Trillium Area Commissioner,
Girl Guides of Canada, cut the
symbolic ribbon to open the
"Pow Wow Place" - the new
Lucan Scout/Guide Hall.
They will be joined by other
UCW finalizes
Snowflake bazaar
"His Name is Wonderful"
was the first in Rev. Brown's
series of Advent sermons at
Lucan United Church Sunday
morning. 750 years before
Christ's birth, the prophet
Isaiah, living in perilous
times, saw hope for the world
in the person of the coming
Messiah whom we celebrate
at Christmas as the Christ of
Bethlehem.
This person would be "the
wonderful one", the prophet
said. And so Jesus proved to
be in every respect. He was
wonderful in His miraculous
birth at Bethlehem, and still
today we discover Him to be
wonderful as we allow Him to
be born in our hearts. He was
wonderful in His life as He
demonstrated His compas-
sion, power and wisdom in
meeting the needs of those
around Him.
Beth Miller and Ruthanne
Curtis formed the welcome
committee for the morning.
Alden Walker read the Scrip-
ture lesson and the choir led
the congregation in worship
as they sang the lovely an-
them, "Nearer still nearer."
Flora Robertson had an ob-
ject lesson for the boys and
girls as she showed them a
pair of binoculars and ex-
plained that they help bring
far away objects close. The
Bible is like a pair of
binoculars, she told the
children, for it brings Jesus
close. We can hide it in our
hearts by memorizing parts
of it, so that even when we do
not have a Bible near, its
truth will be with us always.
Jane Forster and Sue Barr
took the children hour for
their Junior Congregation
time.

Scout and Guide officials,
politicians, parents, senior
citizens, Lucan Co-op Nursery
School organizers and the
boys, girls and leaders of the
Lucan Scbut/Guide move-
ment for a colourful
ceremony slated -for 2 p.m. at
the site in the Market Square
park.
In order to thank those who
have helped make the hall a
reality, the Scouts and Guides
are having a pancake and
sausage brunch at the
building beginning at 11 a.m.
All friends of Scouting and
Guiding are welcome to at-
tend. There is no charge for
the meal, but donations will
be accepted to help defray
costs.
The official opening will
commence with a colorful
flag break and balloon
release, followed by short
remarks andethe ribbon cut-
ting ceremony. A "time cap-
sule" containing mementos of
the day and the construction
of the hall will Mso be filled
for later placement in the en-
trance foyer.
The scheduling committee
has completed the task of en-
suring that all groups are ac-
commodated. No existing
group must change meeting
times to be housed in the hall.
A second Guide company
which will be formed by split-
ting the current crowded
company will meet on Thurs-
day nights, starting in the new
year.
For convenience sake, the
St. Patrick's School Beaver
'Colony will continue to meet
in the school, but will use the
hall for special meetings and
activities from time to time.
Thanks to the generous
response of Lucan and area to
the October fundraising blitz,
the building committee feels
they Will have enough money
to complete the building with
no long-term finaneial han-
dicap. About $6,000 has been
raised so far and some return
calls have yet to be made.
A mail appeal to businesses
in the area is now starting to
generate generous donations
as well. Anyone who was
missed by the blitz and would
like to help out with the hall,
can leave their donation with
any leader or at the TD Bank
in Lucan or call 227-4006 to ar-
range a personal visit and
pickup.
Along with financial aid,
many individuals and
businesses have helped enor-
mously
with donations of time
and materials to make the
hall a reality. Everyone
associated with the hall would
like to thank these people as
well.
It is expected that, had
everything been charged at
full trade rates, the building ,
would have cost well over
$125,000. While the total cost
is not yet firm, it appears that
it will be well under $100,000.
Principal funding for the
project has come from the
federal government in the
form of $65,000 capital works
grant, the Village of Lucan
through a donation and use of
land, manpower and
materials, local service clubs
and special interest organiza-
tions, individuals and the
Scouts and Guides through
various fundraising programs
along with the October blitz.
The public is especially in-
vited to attend the opening
festivities this Saturday and
to see what their support of
the Lucan Scouts and Guides
has created for the young peo-
ple of the community. The
building will open for inspec-
tion after the 2 p.m. opening
ceremony.

AND IN THIS CORNER..
A defenseless child. One of the
thousands of children in our prov-
ince subjected every day to perhaps
the most brutal of all crimes -
child abuse_
Professionals, working with or
treating young people, have a legal
duty to report suspected cases of
child abuse to their local Children's
Aid Society or Family and
Children's Services.
But more importantly, we all
have a moral duty to report suspi-
cions of child abuse. A respon-
sibility we all share - to ensure that
every young person in Ontario
enjoys a childhood free from neglect
or abuse.
Give a kid a fighting chance.
Report child abuse.
