The Malotts, who live at 113 Alice St., are newcomers to Lucan. Focus on the Family The problem of depression among wives who choose to stay at home and raise. their children. was the subject of Dr. Dobson's sixth seminar on Family life at Lucan United Church on Tuesday evening. Low self-esteem, combined with fatigue and time pressurg, are two chief causes of this common condition. Dr. Dobson pointed out. Whereas a man's self- esteem depends largely upon his work. a woman's sense of self-worth is closely related to a satisfying rela- tionship with her husband. The rush of modern life often eliminates the time that is necessary to build such a relationship. Time must be found for this priority if a solid marriage is to be maintained.

Bartley won the spree from the Lucan Optimist Club, the second prize of their annual fundraising draw. She concentrated on the meat counter, and threw in a large box of detergent and some cof- fee for good measure. Vic Neil. manager of Darling's IGA in Lucan, supervised the spree. Clay Murray of Exeter won the first prize in the draw, a three minute shopping spree at the Lucan IGA, but decided to donate the value of his prize to the Optimists instead, to help fund their youth activities and pro- grams. Explaining why he gave up the free groceries, Murray said, "We don't really need it, and I'm more in- terested in seeing the money go to youth." Murray is a great supporter of youth programs; in Exeter he is the Youth Education Chairman of Legion Branch 167. The values of the spree would have been at least $400, and probably closer to $600 at today's prices.
