Forgiveness,
virtue at HCPS
Dave Williams conducted a
meaningful Remembrance Day
worship at Londesborough United
Church on Sunday, Nov. 10. The
various parts of the service echoed
the response, "help us to remember,
O God; help us to be peacemakers."
The senior choir, appropriately
offered the hymn. Make Me a
Channel of Your Peace as anthem.
During the children's time, Mr.
Williams gave the young listeners
details about the background of the
poem, In Flanders Fields, and its
author. John McCrae, before reading
it to them. Red, yellow and white
candles of thanksgiving, peace and
hope respectively were lit by Jacqui
Mitchell, Tyler Mitchell and Brent
Drost while Dave added narrative
for each candle lighting.
The morning's responsive psalm
was based or Psalm 78: 1-7 and
paraphrased from Everyday Psalms
by James Taylor. The psalm made it
clear that only by knowing history
can the future become evident.
Joshua 24: 1-3 and 14-25,.
recounts how Joshua called all the
leaders of Israel together near the
temple of God to hear a message
-about worshipping the one true God.
The New Testament reading from
Matthew 25: 1-13 was the story of
. the ten virgins awaiting the arrival
of the bridegroom. The lesson to be
remembered from the parable was
that one must always be prepared for
the return of Christ.
It is necessary to be faithfully alert
to opportunities to advance peace
and to show mercy and forgiveness.
Being Faithfully Alert was the
title of Dave Williams' message to
the congregation. He emphasized
that the price of a poppy and our
freedom has already been paid by
thok who had-the courage to leave
their family and homeland to tight.
Those who fought have now
passed the torch to us who must now
teach about love, forgiveness, hope
and peace. As encouraged by
Mother Teresa, we must spread love
everywhere we go.
The Sunday School asks youth to

Two observances totally different
in nature caught my attention this
past week and, as the expression
states, warmed the cockles -of my
heart.
While waiting for the light to
change in Clinton one afternoon I
watched as a teenager walking along
the side of the town hall went out of
her way to pick up a discarded
bottle. Before she was out of sight,
she had also picked up a slice of
pizza cardboard.
Too-often the good teens fall under
the reputation perpetuated by a few.
This teen's actions reassured me the
future will be in good hands.
How many times have you been
tempted to kick through the piles of
leaves that gather on or along the
sidewalks? The kids do it all the
time and enjoy the sensation. Again
while driving, I am sure I saw a very
elderly gentleman scuffing through
just such a pile of leaves just as he
may have done some 70 years ago.
Proof to me that one can be young at
heart at any age!
. The sympathy of the community is
extended to the relatives of Lester
Allen of Watford who passed away
last Friday. Lester was the brother of
the late Tom Allen of Londesboro.
Halloween. They also had a dance in
the afternoon. Everyone had a fun
day.
With the snowfall we all have to
remember we cannot have snowball
fights on the playground. That way
we can all have a safe and happy
time playing in the snow.
The Grade 7/8 class had a fun day
on Friday, Nov. 1 with a Waterworks
Artitude Workshop. Two ladies from
the Foundation for Enriching
Education for Perth Huron
conducted the workshop which was
intended to focus attention on
movement of water and problems
about this resource.
Lesley Walker-Fitzpatrick worked
with the class making masks for a
skit, while Wendy O'Brien helped
the pupils create a personality for
each mask.
The drama was intended as a fun
way to understand the challenges of
water management and pollu-
tion.

Huron East
council
gets radon
update
By David Blaney
Special to The Citizen
Huron East councillors received
an update on the radon gas situation
in one of Seaforth ward's wells.
According to Mayor Lin Steffler,
the Ministry of the Environment
was first informed of the situation in
the mid-1980s. Tom Philips the
former Seaforth PUC manager was
able to provide the municipality
with information from that time.
There appears to be some
confusion about just what agency or
level of government is responsible
for closing the affected well but
John Forest the public works co-
ordinator commented, "We have to
cover all the bases to ensure due
diligence."
