Every student from kindergarten throug cu11egG~ is made aware of the nsequences of failure to cope with land, air and water pollution Our air is polluted by hg0.0, of aeroplanes, cars and smoke stacks . Water is polluted by impl'operly treated Re w ago and by ships that dump petroleum and poisonous bilge Factories continue to use plastic containers and non-returnable bottles. The dictionary prints • •An ecologist is an individual con cerned about the relationships between organisms and their en ironment Lucart has an amateur ecologist. but she won't recognize herself by that title. Gerry Zinn, Mrs. Roy Zmn e is a woman keenly interested in creating many varieties of liz.,ndicrafts. It's purely coincidental that some crafts make use of materials that are not biodegradable: that is, they will not return to nature by rotting or some similar process. Gerry and Roy's home on Main St., Luca!), boasts of two large. high-ceilinged 'front rooms', perfect settings for dozens of colorful creations. Ott one room is Gerry's workroom with the necessary sewing machine. Boxes of lace ribbon, em- broidery threads and V4 001 vie. with all shades and shapes of empty plastic detergent and bleach bottles. cardbrrrd tolls and plastic egg cartons. "I like the look and feel of the plastic egg cartons, Gerry," I said, "But aren't they difficult to dispose of?" "I can dispose of any that are available," Gerry laughs. "I buy eggs in them myself and friends give me theirs." As Gerry points out the dif- ferent floral arrangements, I inquire where she learned the craft . "I first saw them on a visit to Florida, Instruction from a woman there got me started. The material to make these flowers is free, or very inexpensive and no special tools are needed. Use a heated awl or a darning needle to carve a design, to fuse or to cut the plastic." Gerry explains that she enjoys creating her own designs now, To prove how durable the plastic and the colours are, Gerry says, "The floral arrangement I took to the emetery weeks ago is still in perfect condition," Gerry has a booklet on Egg Carton Magic, which explains that colours can be changed with tempera, all-purpose spray paint or acrylic. Cartons can be transformed into butterflies, candy cup favours, placecard holders, wall plaques and Easter and Christmas decorations. Eventually Gerry plans to open a craft and hobby shop in the rooms mentioned above, where materials and instruction will be available to the public. If this dream comes true, creative people will have a charming place to meet, buy supplies and exchange hints, And, by the way, don't you agree that Canada can use a few more amateur ecologists? Man tells of Switzerland The weekly meeting of the Sunshine Club was held Thursday in the Masonic Hall, Lucan. In the absence of the president Mrs. Thomas Emery Sr. presided. Euchre was enjoyed by- 14 members. William Frost, who has just returned from a month's holiday in Switzerland gave a resume of his travels there, by showing postcards. and at a later date will show slides of his trip. Lunch was provided by Mrs. Ewan Hodgins and Mrs. Cecil Robb. By Mary E. Squire Mrs. Earl (Pamela) Knoblauch, Lucan, won three first prizes and one second prize at the Ilderton Fair recently, including one for cheese cake, tea rose (1 bloom) and an appliqued quilt. Her daughter Coralin also walked away with three first for her apple pie, young pup and best dressed pet. Coralin is a ten-year-old, grade 5 student at Bidduiph Central School. She began her baking career using a child's Easy-Bake oven. However, the recipe and the oven used to make the prize- winning pie, were her mother's, Cora lin's apple pie Pastry: 3 cups pastry flour 1 2 lb. lard 1 tsp. salt In a measuring cup beat an egg, add 1 tsp. lemon juice and enough water to make 1/2 cup liquid. Filling: Use the required 9" foil pan. Roll bottom crust. Mix apples with 3 4 cup granulated sugar and 2 tbsp. flour. Dot with butter. (Coralin did not use any spice). Place top trust in position. Cut design. Flute edges together to seal. Brush top lightly with milk. Bake in hot oven (450 degrees) 15 minutes, then reduce heat to moderate (350 degree) and continue baking for 15 to 30 minutes longer, or until apples are tender. Coralin Knoblauch Sightless guest addresses club The regular meeting of the Lucan Lion's Club saw four guests out from the West Lion's Club, London, Wally Kennedy one of these members, himself sightless and 'an executive of the C.N.I.B. was guest speaker for the night after which the Club canvassed the village of Lucan. Thanks to the generosity of the good citizens of Lucan nearly $400 was raised. School completion delayed by weeks Completion of the 1.5 million dollar construction program at Medway High School in Arva will be delayed from mid- November to the end of December. This was reported to the Middlesex County Board of Education at its meeting this week with representatives of the construction management firm and architects in charge of the project. A.P. Vibe, of the architectural firm of Shore, Tithe, Henschel, Irwin, said the delay on the building additon was caused by three factors: unexpectedly high electrical and mechanical estimates, the architect's reluctance to make changes in design until all other methods of bringing cost into line had been explored, and the steel strike which interrupted delivery of roof decking. Mr. Tilbe also said delay in making alterations to the existing building was caused by an overly optimistic estimate of time required for the job, suppliers not meeting commitments, and the need to replace gas piping in the lab areas,Acting on a recom- mendation of its committee that interviewed five architects, the Board appointed the firm of Dickson and Ventin, of Wood- stock and Simcoe, as architects for construction of alterations to the existing building and an addition to North Middlesex District High School in Parkhill. This project, scheduled for completion in the fall of 1973, will enlarge the school to ac- commodate grades 7 and 8 and provide occupations shops, other rooms and a new gymnasium. In other business, the board agreed to provide, on an ex- perimental basis to the end of December, 1972, late bus tran- sportation for County students attending London secondary schools. The service will be for students who stay at school after regular classes for music, athletics, and other recogniZed extra-curricular activities, Estimated cost of the service for 170 students is approximately $150 per week. By Sid Daley Not too much for comments this week Comrades as I must make them opt a little earlier due to the fact I will be taking aweek's vacation. We are making a trip into the beautiful Northern part of our lovely province. Now is the time the leaves are changing color. Sure worth the trip if you have the time, Comrades.The multi colors of the maple; the brown oak; the yellow birch, and deep greens of the spruce all mingled together on a gentle mountain slope. Sore wish I were an artist, what a beautiful picture I could paint. Jealousy will get you no where folks. All members of Branch 540 and their ladies are reminded that Comrade Len Fisher, sports officer has called a meeting for 8:00 p.m, Tuesday, October 17 to discuss our branch mixed sports program for the coming season. Let us have a good turn-out, The sports committee want your ideas on the sports you want played, when you want them played and set up rules for play. This program is for your en- joyment; therefore take an ac- tive' part in setting it up and getting the wheels in motion. With the interest generated so far this should prove to be 540's best sports year ever - it's up to you the member to make it so, Did you get your Early Bird lapel pin yet? This is the distinguishing badge of a dedicated member who wants to get behind good old 540 and get her over the top membership wise. You will see some of them around; if you watch closely around the Branch, the chaps with a little extra spring in their step and that devil may care smile on their lips are the ones. After all why shouldn't they look different, these are the Comrades who back the branch and make the programs work. Come on, Comrades get into the swing and back 540 by paying your 1973 dues now. It is understood our good legion friend Roy Hodgins found 'Ye Old Towne Bell' while demolishing the Town sheds to make room for the new Lucan Fire Hall, I wonder if any thought has been given to including this bit of Lucan's historic past into the proposed centennial cairn, Sure would be a great way to preserve it and 'make sure it doesn't get stuck away in some corner and forgotten forever, Give it some thought' folks: I wonder what the bell could tell us it if could only speak. Here's something you have been waiting to hear! Remember 'Slim Gordon' - Smilin' Carl advises by popular demand he has been able to get Slim for a return performance at 540.
