Meeting Thursday night council decided to "stick to the subdivision agreement” which says no ^basement floor or any other floor may be constructed more than one foot below the finished grade of any lot. Bere had asked council at an earlier meeting to allow construction of houses on two of the lots in question at more than one foot below the requirement in the agreement. The lots in question, numbered 46, 47 and 48 are located on Nicoline Avenue at the north-westerly edge of the subdivision. Council has received proval to construct a larger water main to provide an in­ crease of pressure to the Wilberforce subdivision and the southern end of the village. It was learned by council that reconstruction of Albert street may be delayed for a short time as the successful bidder on the contract Bill Rovers of St. Marys has suf­ fered a heart attack. Approval has been receiv­ ed to extend the curbs, gutters and sidewalks and do the necessary landscaping along Lots 13 and 14 on Kleinfeldt Avenue in the Wilberforce Heights sub­ division. An advance of $9,200 has been received from the On­ tario Ministry of Transpor­ tation and Communications for the regular construction and maintenance allottment for 1978. Land severance applica­ tion from Dr. W. Locke and Mrs. Marilyn Dykeman were not given approval by council because they did not adhere with zoning regulations and the village's official plan.

Plan meeting to update water system Lucan village council will be meeting with the Ontario Ministry of the Environment in the near future to plan updating of the water supply for the municipality. D. Matheson of the provincial body wrote to council recently asking for a meeting to discuss upgrading of the well pumps. Clerk Ed Melonson said thefe was no lack of water. Matheson said ‘‘after receiving the water flow records for 1977 from works foreman Bert Thompson we have calculated that ex­ eluding the subdivisions already approved, there is only enough capacity in the water system to supply water to approximately 40 more building iuu5.” He continued, “This will again limit growth of the village until an upgrading of the water system has been completed. It is considered that an upgrading may be possible by installing higher capacity well pumps.” Clerk Ed Melanson said council feels there is plenty of water available if higher capacity of the well pumps is achieved. Euchre and Bridge were enjoyed by members of the Sunshine group with Maude Hodgins winning the high bridge score and the euchre prizes going as follows: High Lady - Jean Miller; Lone - Liz Conlin; Low - Charlotte Barker. High Man - Rose Atkinson, Lone - Marjorie Steeper, both playing men’s cards and Low - Earl Atkinson.

From the left are master of ceremonies Clarence Carter and Booster Club officials Sheila Butchart and Gary Wilcox. Tuesday, the C.W.L. of St. Patrick’s Church held their annual pot luck supper. Ap­ proximately 50 women en­ joyed the fine cuisine and friendly atmosphere. Every kind of imaginable salad was brought bv the women and enjoyed by the visitors. Guests from the various churches in the area were welcomed by president, sMrs. Rhea Vanderloo. After supper, Linda Vanderloo gave her winning speach. The C.W.L. spon­ sored an essay contest en­ titled “Canadian Unity”. It was open to young people between grades eight and twelve. Linda won at the parish level first, then her essay was sent on to Diocesan level where it won first prize again in the senior group. Philip Clarke, Lucan won the junior award at St. Pats. Guest speaker for the evening was Mrs. Delores Shadd of Chatham. Her topic for the evening was South Africa. Mrs. Shadd is a member of the Farmers Union and also of the A.C.W.W., which is a world wide women’s group. A convention of the A.C.W.W. was held in S.A. and Mrs. Shadd was one of the Canadian delegates. They visited three countries while there and were receiv­ ed with gracious hospitality. They saw the many needs of these countries. Mrs. Shadd asked about particular project whether or not Canada was sending assistance only to receive the answer that the Cana­ dian government had refus- as did another western country. This particular African Country is now receiving aid from Red China. Weapons from Canada are being received in S.A. and getting into the wrong hands. One thing great Canada is doing is helping through CUSO. Two Canadian couples were interviewed by Mrs. Shadd. She said that they were desperately try­ ing to get three things for Mozambeque. Clean water, more protein foods (chicken &eggs) and education. The money that was collected at the Pot Luck Supper will be sent to the CUSO workers there. Another comment by Mrs. Shadd was that the reports ' we hear in the news about S.A. are not all accurrate. South Africans are very knowlegable about Canada. She was asked many questions as to the out come of elections. They knew all the political names. These Canadian delegate really felt they wanted to do something positive for S.A. but their hands are really tied when it comes to government, so they have promised to bring the news about S.A. and the problems of her people to the people of Canada by speaking to the various clubs and groups.
