No one who really meets Him ever goes away1 the same person. Simon the fisherman became Peter, the Rock. Zacchaeus, the greedy and dishonest civil servant repented of his selfish ways and became aware of the needs of his fellow men. A corrupt and immoral young man from North Africa was tran- . sformed by the power of God to become St. Augustine, the great theologian. Philips Brooks, as a young man subject to terrible outbursts of temper, found victory over them and became one of the great American preachers of the past century. Charles Coulson of Watergate fame, ! Pat Boone, and countless 1 others in our own day give ' witness to the transforming ‘ power of7Christ upon their 1 lives. ! This was what Paul was talking about when he said “If any man be in Christ he is ’ a new creature; old things are passed away. Behold all things are become new.” Self pity can be changed into love and concern for others. Pride and resentment can be banished by the power of Christ’s love. Broken homes can be healed, fearful per­ sons can become strong, unlovely persons can become beautiful. This transforming power of Christ’s touch is available in this New Year to all who open their lives to Him and allow Him to work. The London and District Chapter of the United Church Renewal Fellowship met in the C.E. wing of the Church Sunday Evening for a time of fellowship and prayer. Rev. Jim Somerville gave a challenging Bible Study based on John 15 pointing out the privileges and responsibilities of those whom Christ has called to be witnesses of Christ’s love in our needy world. The sympathy and prayers ’ of the congregation were extended to the relatives of Mr. Lome Derbyshire who died last Friday. Next Sunday, the Lord’s Supper will be celebrated.

In other business, the Middlesex board slightly relaxed its requirements for eligibility for late school bus service from the county secondary schools. Regular size buses will continue to be permitted to make late runs if at least 15 students are involved. However, the present requirement of a minimum eight students for a late- running van will be reduced to six students for schools which regularly bus 300 to 399 students and to seven^for schools busing 400 to 499 students. The minimum of eight will remain for secondary schools which bus more than 500 students1 on a regular basis.

Trustees also approved the appointment of Ruth Arnel of Ailsa Craig as a school board • teacher at Parkhill Girls’ smaller schools to make Home on Hastings Street.

Williams principal currently home but School board takes time naming director By GORDWHITEHEAD If time, trouble and con­ sumption of paper are in­ dicators, the election of chairman of Middlesex County Bord of Education is far less important than the selection of a representative to the board of directors of a provincial association of school trustees. It took only a few minutes in late November for trustees to whisk Hugh Baird into the chair by ac­ clamation. But the same trustees Monday night used seven secret ballots — 98 pieces of paper — and the better part of an hour to pick their man on the board of the Ontario Public School Trustees’ Association. The ultimate winner, school board chairman Scott, was almost predictable as this year’s choice of chairman Hugh Baird. But his route to the ' winner’s circle was tor­ turous and mind-boggling at times. Four candidates — Peter Cianfriani, Delmar Cobban, Mr. Scott and Marie Temple — were nominated and were put to the test by secret ballot. There was a brief skirmish oyer the eligibility of Mr.-''Cianfriani who represents Roman Catholic ratepayers on the public board and who is also a teacher. No one was certain of the legality but his name was allowed to stand. On the first ballot, Mr. Cianfrianai and Mr. Cobban tied at the bbttofn of the ballot and a second vote was held between the two low past Jim as candidates. That dropped Mr. Cianfriani. On the third ballot, Mr. Cobban and Mrs. Temple were tied at the bottom. And on a fourth ballot they remained tied and on a fifth ballot they were still tied. Chairman Baird called a brief recess to try to clear the impasse. He explained that under Middlesex board regulations, it was not possible to declare the top vote-getter winner until he received a clear majority. There was a suggestion that the whole thing be postponed because Mrs. Temple had left the meeting early and could not participate in any flipping of coins to determine who would drop out next. After a coffee break, trustees agreed to put all three names — Cobban, Temple and Scott — back into the mill and shake again. On ballot six, Mr. Cobban emerged as low man and was dropped. And on the seventh ballot, Mr. Scott was the clear winner. When someone moved to destroy the ballots — all 98 of them — it was fascetiously observed that burning, them could sub­ stantially cut the school board’s heating costs. Later in the meeting, trustees approved a motion by Mr. Scott to renew the board’s membership in the trustees’ association. Trustee Tim Blackburn failed to have the mem­ bership renewal referred to a committee. The fee is estimated at slightly more than $9,000 for 1979.
