Former Lucan Doctor
Injured By Patient
Dr. C. B. Ross, administrative
superintendent a t Qravenhurst
Sanatorium, (and an old Lucan
boy), was attacked recently by
an elderly patient who went ber
serk, An orderly was in the pa
tient’s room when Dr. Ross en
tered.
The patient had an "imagin
ary grievance’’. He seized a
straight razor from* under his
pillow and made a swipe at Dr.
Ross’’ throat. A few stitches
were required to close the in
jury.

Lucan’s Latest
After the development in
Lucan in the past five years, its
citizens feel they can be opti
mistic about the future.
Since 1947, 35 new homes
have been built, water works
installed, an organ factory es
tablished and the Lucan
munity Centre opened.
Latest addition is at
elevator plant of Erwin
and Sons. Fair concrete storage
bins of the latest type have been
added to their storage facilities
and an addition to the main
buildings is being completed.
Trucks loaded with bulk
grain can be weighed and dump
ed in a matter of minutes with
the new equipment which in
cludes machinery for fast clean
ing and elevating. Plans now
call for a dryer. The increase in
the number of combines on dis
trict farms has prompted the
elevator expansion. Combines
speeded the harvest but there
were delays at the elevator,
making it necessary for farmers
to store grain, on their own
farms.
The new”equipment also makes
it possible for farmers to deliver
grain to the elevator the same
day it is harvested. Mr. Scott
says if necessary the elevator
will remain open at night during
delaythe harvest to avoid any
in receiving the grain.

You’re always ready for harvest time
with a Massey-Harris Combine
Conditions at harvest time for taking off the crop may be good or
bad according to the action of the weather. But when you are mech
anized with up-to-date combine equipment you’re ready to go when
the crop is right in good weather and you can make the most of any
favorable conditions during the difficult seasons. Combine harvest
ing is the easy, low-cost modern way to harvest under normal
conditions and in many tough years the combine method has
saved the day for farmers.
A modern combine, too, simplifies the harvest labor problem—
many farmers handle their crop with little or no extra help at
harvest time. • • j
For years Massey-Harris combines have been noted for their
outstanding ability—your Massey-Harris local dealer will be glad
to give you full details about the latest models.
