Picture Here
• BY HAROLD RIBSON
The people in Lucan and dis-
trict should not be surprised if
they see moving picture cameras
clicking in the Lucan district
before tlfe end of the year,
Information via the grapevine
suggests that a feature picture
may be produced in this district
before the end of ths year.
It has been necessary to can
cel the dance, scheduled for Sat-
urday, in lieu of a play-off
hockey game, being held on the
same night. However we shall
endeavor to retain Dave Folks
and his Rockets for another oc-
casion and hope all rock and roll,
fans will accept my apologies
for the time being.
Plans are being made to or-
ganize box lacrosse this summer
insthe arena and we will welcome
interested contacts from other
centres.
Carnival Night
March 29 is Carnival Night in
Lucan, sponsored by the Byron
Lions Club. A first-rate pro-
gram has bee slated for the eve-
ning.
One of the features will be a
broom ball game between Lucan
and Byron fire Departments.
Liman Fire Chief Sandy. 'Young
will play goal and has fortified
himself with a good team to re-
present Lucan, •
Another feature of interest will
be A short hockey game, with
Byron Lions vs. Parkhill Lions
Club. This should be a dandy,
considering that Byron boast of
having Jack Maclntyre of Chi-
cago Black Hawks. in their line-
up. Parkhill's • chances look
pretty slim, with such opposi-
tien.
Prizes will be awarded, 'for va-
rious events as well as .costumes
—so make special plans to at:
tend a special night, on March
29, at the Lucan Arena.
• On Wednesday, March 27,
at 8 p,m. the Lucan Figure
Skating Club will hold their
achievement night. The instruc-
tor, Mr. Paul Tatten, has ac-
conplished considerable with the
classes and will provide the
audience with a specialty num-
ber or two. All parents and in-
terested friends are invited to
attend this function,
In answer to the numerous
inquiries as to lack of newspaper
coverage for the Shamrock Tour-
nament, .1 can reply only that
the Times -Advocate of Exeter
was approached and promised
to be present. However, they
have since maintained their fai-
lure to attehd was a result of
overload on the staff. Cohte-
quently we are more than ever
inclined to feel the necessity of
our own newspaper and in view
of the recent acclaim awarded
our Ideal correspondent, Miss
Abbott, we feel that she would
be a likely candidate for a fu-
ture editor. What say you?
