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.

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.
