She wished to pay him 100 pounds for the work. How- ever, the Lord Hugh Treas- urer, Lord Burleigh, was aghast and stated, "What! All this for a song?" The Queen insisted but the implication that it was paid for a mere trifle has lived on. Ponder on "carte blanche" this week. Walking back to work one afternoon I spoke with Deb- bie Wray about an issue that has her concerned and rightly so. Debbie has been the crossing guard at the intersection of Londes- borough Road and London Road ensuring that village children cross safely on their way to and from Hullett Cen- tral for many years. She said that at least four or five times each school year she experiences a near miss when drivers don't observe her signage. Most recently however she was quite shaken when a vehicle came to the corner to turn north and failed to give the chil- dren attention. This driver actually drove over the stop sign Debbie had set out to stop traffic. Thankfully it wasn't a child that got run over. Debbie is asking drivers to use more caution in school areas. This driver could have been reported to police but as Debbie said she is too busy getting the chil- dren to safety to be writing down licence numbers. Every day for the past 10 days news has reached our home of someone new who is experiencing health issues. We pray that things improve for each of these people in the coming weeks. Our thoughts and prayers are with each and every one of them. Some are village related and you, too, can offer your support.

Bill Bromley had surgery and will be staying quiet for a time. Martin Wilts is still uncertain what the future holds for him. Over- night last Wednesday into Thursday John Darling suf- fered a heart attack and is in hospital awaiting surgery as well. Alex Darling continues to deal with health issues also. And Robert Radford is in need of more attention. Last Thursday morning dawned wet, gloomy and cold and I feared folks would not venture out to share a coffee with me. I should have had a little more faith for many folk did drop by to make the event a success for the Alzheimer Society. Thank you to all who cared and shared. The Outreach Committee of Londesborough United will hold a Coffee Break for Alzheimer's as well on Nov 8 following the morning service. Londesborough United will recognize Remem- brance Day during their morning service on Nov. 8. Are you wearing your poppy? I'm hoping the com- munity will be able to attend a service at Hullett Central on Nov 11. LONDESBOROUGH UCW With their meditation at the Londesborough UCW meeting on Oct. 26, Yvonne Hoggart and Marie Bergsma had the ladies present ques- tioning how Christians show their faith. The duo read a commen- tary from Ben Stein. He feels more attention is paid to celebrities and attention get- ters than to God. More talk on social media is given over to world affairs, spreading spam and trivia than is devoted to our faith. God seems to be forgotten in our schools and our daily life. We seem to put more faith in supposed authorities and their doctrine than in our God/Guide. Ben Stein hopes the world will find God again before it is too late. A two part quiz by Charles Schultz proved interesting. First the women gathered were asked to list things like, for example, the five wealthi- est people in the world, five Nobel Prize winners and six Oscar winners. This proved difficult for the headliners of today are forgotten tomorrow. Then the women were asked to list teachers who had aided their school success, peo- ple who had made them feel special and with whom they liked to spend time. This half of the test proved easier because these folk were the ones who cared, made a difference in lives and are remembered for- ever. The people on the sec- ond list were demonstrat- ing their faith and passing on the love of God. Included in the devo- tional time were hymns to remind that God is the past, present and future and Him we should worship, 0 God Our Help in Ages Past and Praise the Lord with the Sound of Trumpets. Psalm 100 was read. The benedic- tion, "A Table of Blessings" reminded everyone that God should be the centre of our Thanksgiving table that is truly heaped with His blessings. During the business part of the evening details for the Christmas pot luck on Nov. 16 were finalized and information shared regard- ing the end of the year "keeping in touch" list and students away at school contacts. New group lists for 2016 were distributed and explained. The mitten tree is set up in the sanctu- ary ready to receive dona- tions for the Huron County Christmas Bureau.
