Works superintendent Doug Johnson was told to put No Parking From Here to Corner signs at the in­ tersections of Main and Alice and William streets. A letter from the county engineer’s office reported complaints from drivers approaching the two in­ tersections about blocked visibility by automobiles. The county letter suggested parking be prohibited for a distance of 50 feet at each of the corners. Village bylaw 15-78 was passed last year and will now be enforced as soon as signs are erected. It calls for no parking within nine meters of an intersection. A letter from the Ontario Ministry of Transportation and Communications asked that signs located outside village limits listing various service clubs Only four accidents the be Hillbillies and Munchers meet The fifth meeting of the Metric Munchers was held Saturday at the home of Pam Moor. There were three demonstrations; the Pink Velvet which was done by Pam Moor, the Maple Treasurer which was done by Janice Kestle and the Cod Italiano by Terri McRoberts. The girls discussed the many uses of gelatine and jelly powder. The meeting was then adjourned and the members ate the dishes which they had prepared. The next meeting is Satur­ day, March 17 at. 10 a.m. at the home of Mrs. O’Neil. The Healthy Hillbillies 4-H club held their fourth meeting at the home of Nan­ cy Van Geel, Wednesday. Nancy Van Geel and Mary Dewan made wheat germ biscuits, cheese bacon swirls, creamy ham and mushroom supper. The next meeting will be on March 21 and 7 p.m. at the home of Rita Dewan. During the week officers of the Lucan detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police investigated four accidents with damages totalling $4,750. No injuries were reported.

Constable C. S. Fleming listed damages at $700. ■ At 10:45 p.m. Friday a vehicle driven by Calvin Kaufman, London was damaged to the extent of $400 when it left Highway 4 in London township. Constable Fleming was the in­ vestigating officer. About 15 minutes later in a similar mishap on County road 23 in London township, Constable B, D.

Street committee mem­ bers Harry Wraith and Gary Me Falls along with superintendent Doug Johnston will attempt to find new locations at both ends of the village on Highway 4. The Lions club and Royal Canadian Legion who appear on the signs will then be notified that the village will be moving them. MTC officials are also asking that speed limit signs at the northerly limit of the village on Highway 4 be changed. Presently northbound traffic leaving the village may travel at 70 kilometers per hour while the maximum speed for southbound vehicles is 60 kilometers. When the bylaw was passed a year ago council asked for the lower speed for traffic heading south because of the proximity of the public school. A bylaw was passed Monday allowing for an increase in salaries for members of the Lucan Hydro Electric Commission. Under the new rates the chairman will receive $30 for each regular monthly meeting and each of the two commissioners will get $25. For each special meeting to a maximum of six per year the chairman will receive $35 and members $30 each. In approving the request from the Commission, reeve Ivan Hearn said, “I know of some communities no larger than ours where Hyudro members get as much as $600 per year.” Council approved payment of the 1979 levy to the Ausable-Bayfield Conser­ vation Authority in the amount of $3,430. Last year’s payment was $2,974. Works superintendent Doug Johnston was given permission to attend the C. S. Anderson Road School at the University of Guelph from May 6 to 9. In other business, council: Will request MTC to paint all the road markings on Highway 4 through the village including the school crossing. Learned that the final 1978 subsidy for road ex­ penditures had been received bringing the total to $32,425.48. Were told by councillor Larry Hotson that the works department should be commended for their recent excellent efforts to relieve flooding problems and for the cleanliness of village streets.

By SID DALEY Just returned from a trip out west, Calgary to be ex­ act. Cold one day, then com- , es a Chinook to warm things up, a person never knew what to wear. The drive home was something else. Other than truck trouble, it was uneventful that is until we entered Thunder Bay, you wouldn’t believe the snow. The banks along the streets and highways were at least 10 to 15 feet high, we drove east along Number 17 where about 25 miles east of Terrace Bay we ran into a white-out - the snow storm was so intense it was im­ possible to see over 5 to 10 feet ahead. On reaching White River a west bound motorist advised it had taken him four hours to travel 70 miles. We decid­ ed to move on driving most­ ly in the left lane as it was the only one plowed, when we observed headlights ap­ proaching, it was over to the right trying to make your own trail through the drifts. This continued to about 50 miles north of the Soo where, would you believe it ATTENTION VETERANS Dependents THE ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION SERVICE BUREAU OFFICER Mr. Harvey S.

Euchre to aid cancer, St. Patrick's gym filled In its efforts to raise funds for its annual Campaign the Lucan-Biddulph branch of the Canadian Cancer Society held a progressive euchre party Friday night in St. Patrick’s School gym. Twenty tables joined in a night of entertainment which culminated in the following people winning prizes. High ladies score was won by Mrs. Maurice McDonald with the mens high score going to Flower, cake demos at Learning for Lent annual Lent About 50 women were present Wednesday at the first session of Lucan United Church Women’s Learning for programme. During the first hour, the women divided into three groups according to interest. Mrs. Barb Wallace gave the first of two demon­ stations on cake decorating to her enthusiastic group. Mrs. Betty Kirby and Mrs. Marie Gingerich gave an informative and challenging presentation of the work of Meadowcrest Residences Inc. which consists of three group homes for han­ dicapped adults located in this area. Mrs. Genevieve Nicholson and Niles Nicholson gave a helpful demonstration on the care of house plants. A break for coffee and conversation followed; then hostess, Mrs. Honor Stanley welcomed the ladies, and introduced the theme speaker, Mrs. Anne Elliott of Strathroy. Mrs. Elliott’s series, “Invitation to Live” began with a talk entitled, “God’s Answer toHopelessness.”She traced the story of Rahab, the Harlot as an example of a person in a hopeless con­ dition who responded by faith to God’s invitation to her. As a result, she and all her family were saved when the Israelite forces took Jericho. “Big doors of hopelessness swing on little hinges of faith - when that faith is in a great God who can do anything,” said Mrs. Elliott. Similarly today, those who are faced with situations that appear hopeless can come in their need to Christ who is the Answer and the Enabler for all who come trusting Him. This morning, Wednesday, Barb Wallace will continue her cake decorating class, Donna Thompson will demonstrate needlepoint, and Mrs. Jean Edwards will show a film dealing with the problems of crippled and deaf children. There are still openings in these last two groups, and all women of the community are invited to participate. Ivan Stanley. Low score for the ladies was Mrs. Wally Haygarth and the mens low score by Mr. Earl Anderson. Mrs. Maurice McDonald carried away the prize for the most lone hands in the ladies competition followed by Mr. Percy Williams in the mens event.

Mrs. Earl Anderson was seated on the lucky chair at the end of the allotted playing time and won herself a prize. From the thumping on the table and the laughter that filled the gym it sounded as though everyone had an enjoyable evening even though everyone couldn’t win. Prizes having been distributed, everyone enjoyed a lunch of coffee, tea, and sandwiches. The branch executive donated the prizes and lunch with Murphy Bus Lines providing free bus tran­ sportation to and from the school. Len Maslen, branch president would like to thank all those who donated their time and efforts to make the event sosuccessful.
