Since November, the church tow- er the bell is housed in has been re- ceiving a face-lift. The deteriorating state of the structure prompted Church tiustees to have both the interior and ex- terior repaired. Suffering from loose bricks and missing stee- ple shingles, the repairs are long overdue. Over time, the tower has endured more than the elements, about 25 bullet holes of unknown origin have been found in the steeple com- ing from two different directions suggesting it has been used for tar- get practice on more than one oc- casion. At 96 feet, the church tower, is the tallest structure in Crediton and the bell can can be heard for miles. For over 100 years the bell has been tolled 15 minutes before church services and to mark the end of wedding ceremonies; and before the days of modem communica- tion, the bell rang to warn of fire or other emergencies. The cathedral -like church dates back to 1896 when its cornerstone was laid. It was dedicated later the next year. Within that time period a ma- jestic pipe organ was installed, and tow ished a bell was donated by Mrs. Charles Hither. Ironically the bell tolled for the first time at her funeral a short time later. Her name is still in- scribed on the 46 inch high and four inch thick bell. The church's finances became se- cure when it became debt free on Dedica- tion Sunday, Feb. 14 1897. The total cost of the present church -edifice was $15,000. Much of the work to construct the church school rooms, stained glass window, auditorium and gallery seating 75 people was done by its members and friends of the congregation. From its inception in 1854, the church was known as the Evangel- ical Association until it united with the united Brethren to become the Evangelical United Brethren Church in 1946. On May 4, 1969 the former Methodist and United Church was destroyed in a Sunday morning fire, however, the two congregations of- ficially amalgamated on July, of that year to become one United Church as it stands today. Union Steeplejacks from In- gersoll have been hired to conduct the repairs. A family owned and operated business led by Mery McDonald and his three sons who has been in the steeplejack busi- ness for nearly 50 years.

"Once the tower is finished the bell will ring again," he said.

OSAP available for those that qualify. For further information call 519-271-9551 Vaporize wrinkles in ten minutes Sound too good to be true'.' Sounds like something only the rich and famous can afford? Not so. This can be done by the Loramar Centre for Cosmetic Medicine. There is nothing more aging than wrinkles and lines. Laser treatments of these is now done easily with the CO2 UltraPulse laser - the newest state-of-the-art laser. This laser performs a procedure called skin resurfacing. This laser is hand guided by Dr. Cauchi (a trained laser surgeon) over the skin surface. This laser doesn't burn the skin - it vaporizes a minute, computer controlled cell depth layer of skin. The lines disappear as they are ;Mated. Laser treatment of the skin also stimulates the collagen layer of the skin to contract. The result of this is that the healthy skin underneath is firmer, more elastic, thicker and more youthful. Lasers will eventually replace face lifts and chemical peels. The results are permanent until your skin naturally wrinkles again (about 10 to 15 years). This procedure is done under local anesthesia. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes for an upper lip and half an hour for both upper and lower lip. A full face takes about one hour. Pain is like that of a sunburn and patients need to be able to have a week to 10 days for recovery. If you have any questions concerning this exciting new laser treatment, please call the Loramar Centre for Cosmetic Medicine today to book a,consultation 519- 524-4430 or 1-800-896-443Q, ' il,$f :;.
