Times-Advocate, 1981-12-02, Page 20Page 4A Times -Advocate, December 2, 1981 Home, school group topic on vandalism The Biddulph-Lucan Home. School and Communi- ty Assoc. met Thursday evening. November 19 in the Lucan building, with an ex- cellent attendance. Constable James McDonald of the Strathroy O.P.P. Detachment, spoke on vandalism. He told the members and friends how the public could help by reporting any suspicious looking strangers in the area and said half humorously that the most helpful person is "a nosey neighbour!" Pathfinders keep busy Another thrilling month for the Pathfinders has gone. We started the month off by the bake sale at the craft sale at the arena which was a great success. We would like to thank Wendy Thomas, one of the leaders. for mak- ing agin erbreadhouse for a raffle. We sold 495 tickets, and Sue Wilcox pulled the winning ticket which was Anne deBoer. November 2Oth the Pathfinders went in to Lon- don to "University Man- nequin."which is a modeling and make-up studio. We went to Mother's for supper. and then Christmas shop- ping. We would like to thank Ann Schuesslar and Wendy Thomas for transportation and an enjoyable evening. Our • group is very small. Anyone between 13 and 15 years old will be most welcome to become a member. We plan to do many more things. e.g. cam- ping. outings. etc.. so come on out and register now! Allison Clark Constable McDonald spoke of the "Strive" program which basically means that the Board of Education pays schools so much per child to cover any vandalism at a particular school. Any balance left over at the end of the year goes to the school so it really pays off if the pupils and the . public can help prevent van- dalism by reporting. im- mediately. any unauthorized persons or vehicles on school property. A most interesting question and answer period followed. During the business period. chaired by president, Shirley Fowles, it was an- nounced that the Board of Education had forwarded grant money to cover the cost of the Creative Playground equipment, but this grant must be reinvested in school equip- ment before December 31, 1981. James Duddy, vice- president. outlined various needs of different grades and the decision was made to purchase new "crash pads" for high jumping and gym mats for tumbling, for use at both schools. A number of friends present became members and it was pointed out that it is not necessary to have children in school to become a member. You just need to be interested in your home, school and community. The next meeting will be held Thursday February 19, with Mr. Stewart Toll, Director of Education for the Board of Education as guest speaker, on the topic "'Where is Education Heading?"

Rev. Keith Brown con- tinued his series on the Ser- mon on the Mount. dealing this week with Jesus' teaching on adultery. Jesus emphasized that the lustful imagination is as wrong in God's sight as the outward act. Our present day per- missive society with its provocative T.V. programs. books. films and por- nographic material en- courages such lustful at- titudes. as does the teaching which claims that there is no absolute moral standard. Christiansneed to be aware of these pressures and to speak out against them. Christ taught that radical means are necessary to deal with the lustful imagination. He urges o to eliminate any habits. actions or relationships which con- tribute to it In dealing with this problem in our own lives. we need to fill our minds with Christ and the Former clerk passes away A life -time member of this community until 1976. pass- ed away at Huronview last week. namely Muriel 1 McCarter 1 Gibson widow of the late Irving Gibson.

Rev • Williams asked if facing the drug scene the young people face today if they could have strength to be winners. Jesus Christ came to redeem the world. The seventy went out to preach deliverance, when Jesus sent them. Realism of Christianity is seeing things as God sees them. Unless Christians go out.in the name of Jesus. they will produce nothing.
