LONDESBOROUGH UNITED CHURCH The ladies who did venture out to the UCW meeting in spite of the cold and unpleas- ant weather on Monday, Feb- ruary 16th, Family Day, learned that February in Her- itage month. They were treated to an interesting and informative trip down mem- ory lane by Crystal Whyte, Helen Lobb and Dorothy Bogie. One often hears the expres- sion at Christmas that Joseph, therefore Jesus, were of the house and lineage of David. Dorothy clarified the geneal- ogy of Abraham through to King David. The ladies pre- sent had an opportunity to share some of their own heritage. Canadian heritage moments were enjoyed through a video presentation by Crystal - 50 years of the Canadian flag, Sir John A. and Confederation, Vimy Ridge, the Stratford Festival, and inspirational Canadian women - Laura Secord, Nellie McClung, Emily Carr and Mona Parsons. The program included a video about Expo 67 - A Place to Stand, an event familiar to the ladies present. FATAL COLLISION SOUTH OF EXETER Just after 6:00 a.m. on March 4 officers from the Huron County OPP Detachment along with per- sonnel from South Huron Fire Department and Huron County EMS responded to a three vehi- cle collision located on London Road (Highway 4) between Kirkton Road and Crediton Road. The preliminary investigation has revealed a northbound Jeep Wrangler crossed the center line and sideswiped a southbound Toy- ota Solara. The Jeep then collided head- on with a southbound Chrysler Intrepid. Helen Lobb spoke about `downtown and community' which everywhere include historic buildings, landmarks, churches, shops and restau- rants familiar to everyone. Londesborough's past was revisited from its time of lay- ing -out in 1850 by Hagyard. Fast on the heels of a suc- cessful `apron sewing' day, ladies were invited to come out on March 4th to make baby blankets. There is no sewing involved. Bring along scissors, cutting boards and wheels and a lunch. These blankets are distributed throughout the community. Snow date is the 11th. The March meeting for the group is Monday, the 16th. The meeting will take the form of the World Day of Prayer Service for 2015. The service itself will begin at 7:30 p.m. Lunch will be served at the end of the evening and will feature foods from the Bahamas. The ladies of the Bahamas wrote this year's service. Other items of business included having the pianos tuned and checked, purchas- ing new mattresses for the cabin at Camp Menesetung, purchasing a lily for the narthex for Easterand main- taining the M & S allocation at $2100.00. The Outreach Committee of Londesborough United have learned that shelves at area food banks get empty by this time of the winter. Conse- quently they have out dona- tion boxes throughout the church for the Sundays 8th, 15th and 22nd. They encour- age you to be generous. The lone occupant of the Chrysler Intrepid was pronounced dead at the scene. The deceased has been identified as 46 year old Mary -Jane FORRESTER from South Huron. A post-mortem examina- tion was scheduled for March 5 in London. The driver and sole occupant of the Jeep Wrangler, a 19 year old male from Mid- dlesex Centre was transported to hospi- tal with non -life threatening injuries.
