Granton -Wesley annual meeting Feb. 1
By Muriel Lewis
GRANTON CORRESPONDENT
GRANTON - Regular activities
including school attendance will be
resuming this week following the
glorious Christmas season.
No doubt winter will be returning
also, as lower temperatures are
predicted.
At the Granton Wesley United
Church on Sun., Jan. 4, Lay Pastor
Val Hodgins entitled the message
'What Can I Give.' The lessons were
from Isaiah 60 and Matthew 2.
Dylan Jones lit the Christ Candle.
The Ministry of Music was '0
Beautiful Star of Bethlehem.'
Unit one hosted the social time
before the service.
The annual meeting is scheduled
for Feb. 1.
At St. Paul's Anglican Church,
Kirkton on Sun., Jan. 4, Rev. Dalice
Sim celebrated the Holy Eucharist.
The message was about the wise
men who were guided by a star to
worship the baby Jesus, and
returned home another way to
escape King Herod.
The lessons were read by Brent
Blackler, and Christine Downey
also assisted in leading the service.

Child car
seat clinics
a success
POINT EDWARD -
Thanks to eight child
car seat clinics held
between April and
October 2003, 216 more
children in Sarnia-
Lambton are riding a
little safer.
"The good news is,
those parents came to
have their seats checked
and now those children
are safer when travel-
ling. But, on the down-
side," says Andrea
Wessels, County of
Lambton Community
Health Services (CHSD)
Health Promotion
Assistant, "81 per cent
of the car seats were
not installed properly."
Wessels says overall
results for 2003 were
disappointing. "Of the
150 car seats we
checked at CHSD, 144
were not installed prop-
erly. That's 96 per cent
improperly installed."
In most cases, the seat
belt is not tight enough.
Child car seats should-
n't move more than one
inch side to side or front
to back.
Is your child's seat
properly installed?
Contact CHSD at 383-
8331 ext. 305 or toll
free 1-800-667-1839 for
more information.

amounts to a new vision for Canada.
THE COMING YEAR'S CHALLENGES AND HOW TO

continue discussions with America and other coun-
tries.

(BSE, SARS, B.C. forests and floods, hurricane,
black -out in Ontario).
3. Healthcare and accountability: the new Canada
Health Transfer taking effect April 1'04 and Canada
Health Council.
4. Building a better working relationship with the
provinces and the United States.
