A visiting report was given by Jean Brown and mem- bers were urged to keep up their visiting and to be sure and enter their visits on the chart. Bernice Lockyer gave a good report of the quilting being accomplished and that one of the "Bazaar" quilts had found a home. The smaller ,,"Dresden plate' pieced cOlt,is still available at the home of Verna Pitt. The worship theme "God's Beautiful World" was used Getting paid the same as a man when you're doing substantially the same work is the law in Ontario. The trouble is, many female employees haven't been paid according to the law, for one reason or another. Examples. It's not good enough for employers to set wage rates on the basis of job title, or to use minor differences in work to justify differences in pay. For example men employed as clerks may have to do some purchasing of plant equipment or sup- plies perhaps, while a woman clerk may do the purchasing of smaller items—stationery, office needs, etc. But minor differences such as locking up at night, handling petty cash or lifting heavier loads do not make a "substantial difference" in the job and do not necessarily entitle the man to a higher rate of pay. The law states that when a woman is doing substantially the same work as a man, she must be paid the same. What "substantially the same" means. To clarify it for you, 'substantially the same' means that the skill, effort, responsibility and work- ing conditions required for the work are similar and any difference in these are of a minor nature. In considering skill, attention is paid to factors such as experience, training and education required Five motor vehicle ac- cidents were investigated this week by officers of the Lucan detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police with damages totalling $9,600. The first occurred at 12.10 p.m. Sunday when a vehicle driven by Trevor Lythgoe, London struck the gas pumps at the BP service station at Elginfield. Con- r stable T. Chapman set damages at $2,500.

Barbara Bannerman brought a message for the youth and adults "A Promise" which told how the witness of a young teen- ager, in talking to and playing checkerSwith his 95 year old, great-grandfather, a retired minister, helped to bring his roommate to Christ just before he died. It was a very touching and heart- warming story and showed how much the youth of our Church are needed and how. they can help by visiting the elderly and shut-ins. Upcoming in Lucan U.C. Tonight Wednesday, the Official Board of the Charge meet in the CE wing. All members are urged to be Films on • marriage Rev. Ray Brewster, back from holding services in Edmonton, led the morning service at the Lucan Revival Centre. Conducted by Mrs. Marlene Thornton, the choir sang "God is so Good," and "Sometime's Hallelujah," and "0 Worship the King." Mr. Brewster announced that every Tuesday evening there will be films on marriage relationships, and he ministered from Psalm 37:3-5 saying God blesses those whom He possesses, and only those who He posseses. Often people come to church because of the blessings. Sometimes we pray for blessings and do not receive them, because we have not let God possess that area of our lives, We live in God's hand, and are fed by God's provision if we trust God by committing our entire lives to God, and be pleased with serving Him, Bruce Shaw led the singing for the evening service. Rev. Hay Brewster spoke from 1 Kings. As God corn- mendedDavid for having the right attitude to build a house for God, so today our attitudes are more im- portant then our achievements. An attitude to serve God no matter, what is more important then an outward Show in ac- cornplishments by Iva M.
