After everyone enjoyed a most delicious turkey dinner capably cooked by Mrs. Pauline Eizenga, the Ed Butler family presented a skit. Based on Rev. Roger Mason only getting 3 channels on his T.V., that keep interfer- ing with each other's recep- tion, Ray, Wendy and Abner Butler read very conflicting directions on how to do baby care, car care, and cooking. The diners than sang Christmas carols while Mrs. Lorraine Armitage played the piano. Rev. George Hazeen, pastor of Ailsa Craig Com- munity Church, told that so- meone had given him a button saying Jesus is the Reason for the Season. People associate Christmas with what they celebrate it for, while Chris- tians remember the birth of Jesus Christ. Matthew 1:21 says His name shall be called Jesus. J stands for justification When we are justified in God's sight, it is just as if we had never sinned. E stands for the emancipating Jesus who sets free from sin. S is for the sanctifying Jesus who sets us apart for His service. U stands for the unity of Jesus to all who will come to Him. S speaks of the satisfying Jesus who fills the need in people's lives. Mrs. Jana Lyn Rutledge ac- companied herself on the piano as she sang We Were the Reason. Mrs. Rutledge then did a satirical skit on how people, the media, socialites, etc, would react if the birth of Jesus were today, interspersed with thoughts of how Mary and Joseph felt during the birth of Jesus. Rev. Hazeen closed in prayer. Variety show Christianview Bible College presented a musical variety show in Lucan Revival Centre Friday evening.

Poem from Biddulph p Students in Mrs Notts class and Ms. Walker's grade three class visited the dinosaur and Innuit displays at the London Regional Children's Museum, December 6. Students were involved in creative writing when they returned to school. A story written by Chris Revington, a grade three student, describes his dream. .\ly Dream One night 1 had a dream. I went into Dinosaur times. a Brontosaurus stomping after me and i went into a cave, i peeked, to see if any Dinosaurs were around and there weren't any so i carne out Behind a rock a Tyran- nasaurus Rex came thunder- ing after me, so I climbed up a Palm tree with a huge rock and he saw me climbing. Ile scampered to the tree and he shook the tree and 1 came tumbling down with the rock. it fell out of my hand and knocked hien out WHEW! Then 1 went to the seashore and there stood a gigantic Diplo Docus eating plants from the ocean floor. A flying Dinosaur swooped clown and almost dug his claws into me. 1 don't know how close it was but i1 was close. WHEW! Lucky 1 have a security bag with me to keep me safe if I get hurt. What an adventure dream i had! by Chris Revington Approve zoning change Council bean of hydro corridor Ontario Hydro represen- tative Jim Shewchuk attend- ed Tuesday's Lucan council meeting to ask for village in- put in the upcoming studies to determine the location of the proposed power transmission line from the Bruce power station to London. Shewchuk said his group favours the Bruce to London short route. When asked by reeve Norm Steeper if it would be close to Lucan he replied, "It could be somewhere between Highways 4 and 23 if we ex- tend from the existing transformer station at Seaforth". He said strips of land vary- ing from 220 to 250 feet wide would be needed to build the transmission line with six or seven towers in each mile. The high power wires would be 55 feet in the air. Luan Hydro commissioner Rudy Engel asked about sell- ing power to the United States to which Shewchuk replied, "It's no secret that we have surplus power. By selling some of this we have kept our rates down about five percent for the past six years." He continued, "These lines can power both ways and when the Woodstock lines were down during the 1982 tornado we relied on our inter- connections with Michigan to serve the Woodstock area customers." On the compensation of land used for these lines, the Ontario Hydro rep said, "We will seek easements or rights of access. We will pay com- pensation based on property values at 75 percent of value of each acre of land with separate renumeration for towers." Revival Centre In the absence of Mrs. Lor- raine Armitage, Mrs Amelia Graham played the piano for the Sunday morning service. while Mr. Rick Thornton led the singing. Rev. Roger Mason ministered from James 4:11-12. concerning not judg ing Christians. Judging is one of the greatest failings of the Christian church. 11 is too often done hastily in bad evidence one has heard, not based on facts. Judging usurps Cod's authority. James warns believers not to speak against one another behind their backs in a derogatory man- ner. To speak against another Christian violates the law of God. in essence saying the law is not worthy of obeying Christmas Concert Lucan Revival Centre Sun- day School presented "What Can 1 Give to the King''" Sun- day evening Perched on the piano, while Mr- Carole Buller played it, Miss Vicki Sumner sang the 1 heme song.
