In one they would be grouped with London township and in the second, the north half of West Nissouri town- ship would he added. About the Middlesex proposal, Lucan reeve Tom McLaughlin said, "I certainly believe we have to change. The report clearly tells us the status quo is not acceptable. I am somewhat surprised at the ex- tent of the preferred amalgamation, which may make the findings a "'hard sell" politically." Biddulph reeve Earl French be- lieves the report is very aggressive and some people are going to see it and reject it completely. He added, "Some may look at other forms of amalgamation. Hopefully, this will spark some type of debate so we can see there are alternatives. The Friday morning residents were entertained by Bert Bax of Clinton.

New start for Cuckoo's Nest LONDON - The Cuckoo's Nest was founded in 1973, along the lines qf. British folk clubs. Its aim wast' tb bring top level folk'' music performers to London, as well as to provide a focus and in- spiration for folk music enthusiasts. It ran for 10 years, meeting weekly at Luther House at the university gates, until other commitments on the part of the organizers led to its winding down. During its life, it had a major ef- fect on music in London. Two artis- tic directors and one chairman of Home County were founding mem- bers; London's first morrfs team was formed by members of the club; two dance bands were formed and many people were encouraged to sing, play and perform by the club's activities. Such international names as Mar- tin Carthy, Peter Bellamy, Tom Paley, Jane Voss and Hoyle Os- borne, Nancy White, Stan Rogers, Alistair Anderson, The Boys of the Lough, The Tannahill Weavers, Battlefield Band, Dolores Keane, and many others appeared on the club's small stage. This year, the Cuckoo's Nest is restarting its activities. A concert series has been organized for the fall season, beginning with Scottish singer Ed Miller, followed by Alis- tair Brown, and the Friends of Fid- dler's Green. All concerts will be held at Chauccr's pub on Carling Street.

Taking Otta- wa's Old Sod Folk Music Society, and Midland's Mundy's Bay Folk Club as their models, the Cuckoo's Ncst will encourage a sense of be- longing and that members arc more than just audience, but can contrib- ute too, if they wish. The organizers say the time is -ight for the club's renaissance, and that there is a need for this kind of participation in music once again. For more information, contact Alistar Brown at 673-0334. Lucan-Biddulph amalgamation plans are being put on hold LUCAN - Amalgamation plans between the village of Lucan and the township of Biddulph have been tabled until the proposed re- structuring of Middlesex county is studied further. Councils of the two municipali- ties met last Wednesday night to discuss a study completed by con- s,:!'ant Richard Chown of Bright's Grove. Although Chown recommended amalgamation and reaction from both councils was positive it was agreed it would be practical to wait until a county wide decision is made. Lucan and Biddulph already share a number of services and Chown's report indicated consider- able savings would occur if the two joined together. Only recently Biddulph agreed to allow Lucan to use their township shed for the storage of winter salt Queensway residents hold monthly council meeting HENSALL - At Queensway Nursing Home the week started off with their monthly Resident Coun- cil meeting on Hallowe'en Mon- day. At these monthly meetings, residents hear about all events tak- ing place in the building as well as have an opportunity to voice any concerns they have. On Monday afternoon the women of the Hensall United Church brought their bingo program. Resi- dents look forward to their weekly bingo. Tuesday afternoon Shirley Luther performed the weekly church ser- vice. Later in the evening the Chris- tian Reformed Singers from Exeter came for an evening of hymns and readings. Early Thursday morning, resi- dents gathered for Breakfast Club. All who attended enjoyed a hearty breakfast of bacon, eggs, toast, juice and coffee. report goes farther than I had ex- pected, but I don't want it shelved as happened with a similar report in 1974." The Middlesex report suggests the county and its 21 municipalities should reorganize into six or seven new political units. According to Chown's report commissioned by the village, Lu - can's population would rise from its present figure of 1,845 to 2,924 by the year 2002 while Biddulph's would drop from 2,194 to 2,063. Any decisions to be made will be up to the new councils which will take over on December 1 of this year. McLaughlin emphasized that meetings will be called, likely early in the new year to allow plenty of input by the public.
