School Visits Hobby Fair
On Thursday night, May
Mr. G. Banting accompanied the
Public School Staff and Sr. pu
pils to London’s Hobby Fair,
held in the YMCA. The whole
display was most interesting.
Special mention might be made
of the 200 pencil exhibits, the
pennants and sewing. The swim
ming and diving made a big
hit with the pupils. The teachers
received many new ideas •which
can be used in the Lucan School.

It was with deep regret the
many friends of Mr. and Mrs.
Gordon Mains (particularly
those on Alice St.) learned they
had sold their home to a Mr.

and were moving to Clandeboye
for the present. Mrs. 'Mains was
organist in Holy Trinity Church
for years and also a wonderful
help in choir and solo work. She
was also an active member in
the Guild and W.A, so Lucanites
trust they will finally locate suf
ficiently close to Lucan to still
attend Holy Trinity Chufch.
Just a reminder to the mem

house-dresses and aprons ready
for the display at the evening
meeting in the Arena, May 10.
It promises to be a most inter

was flung open and like rockets

from both second-floor rooms
shot down the fire escape. On
reaching the yard they found it
was a false alarm, ran around to
the front and up the stairs for

joying the joke on themselves.
