And every time I think of her, I remember one of her favourite sayings: “Early sow — Early mow”. j Matty years have passed since Grandma died. But just the other day something happened to remind me of that old motto of hers. I was working Over my budget, trying not to admit what the figures told me: My savings had slipped. At this rate, it was a cittch that some of the things I’d started to save for would have to wait. Suddenly I remembered “Early sow ...” I “Old-fashioned stuff!”' I told myself. Then I got to thinking. “Maybe it zs tough to save today. But it’s still important . . . still my Only hope Of getting some of the things I want most. “Well, at least I’m keeping up my life insurance payments,” I thought. “That’s a way of saving which combines protection fOr my family as well. And maybe if I make an extra effort to put more money aside I’ll reach my goals sooner. “So here goes! I’ll try again. I’ll find some new ways to economize. Somehow I’m Sure I can manage to be more thrifty.” And you know it’s a funny thing! The moment I made that decision, I realized that Grandma’s idea was not old-fashioned.

Lu can Cooperative The spirit of .good sportsman ship is not dead in Lucan as was shown last Monday night. Six weeks ago the. A.Y.P.A. en gaged the Community Memorial Centre for their Minstrel Show. Weather conditions made it necessary to hold the Dashwood- Lucan hockey game in Lucan instead of in Zurich, As tickets for the Minstrel Show had been sold as far away as Strathroy, the A.Y.P.A. couldn’t change their date. K Like good sports, they compromised. The A.Y.P.A. began their show early, curtailed a few num bers, eliminated intermissions, and sold their candy after the show, while the hockey team postponed their game till 9:30. As a result of this amiable co operation both had good attend ances and many who came to see the Minstrel Show stayed for the game. Though all returns from sale of tickets are not in, the pro ceeds from the show will exceed $150/ Already the A.Y.P.A. have received six invitations to repeat their show but as yet no defin ite bookings have been made. The show entailed a lot of hard work so the whole cast is to be congratulated on its suc cess. At the end of the show, Rev. L. C. Harrison presented gifts of appreciation to Mrs. Clarence Hardy, who directed the show, Mr. Howard Kew, the pianist, Mr. Arthur Murdock, the inter locutor and Mr. James Little, caretaker of the Anglican Church. , Those who waited for the game saw Lucan trim iDashwood in a one-sided game with a score of 13-4.
