Recreation
Activities
By SAM SCREATON
Director ,Of Resreetion
Just a word of reminder for
those interested, the Women's
Institute meets in the Isuean
Arena at 2:00. p.m.
The Lucan Pablic School
Christmas concert will be held
in the Lucan Community Memor-
ial auditorium on Monday, Dee,
21, We'll have more to say about
it later, bat for the time we
mention it so that all parents
can keep- this date in mind and
plan to COME.
Quite a number af times, the
writer has requested in this col-
umn to know if there is any
interest in the formation of a
Teen Town and a. Senior Citi-
zens Club. So far no replies have
been received from either group,
This could mean one of two
things: either there is no inter-
est in either --or nobody reads
this cblumn
It could easily be the latter
ease as I would hate to think it
were the former, Surely some-
body inust be interested., Don't
any of the adults even like to
play euchre or the teenagers
like to dance??? If no one is in-
terested the writer can't do any-
thing about it, so if you are,
please phone and let me know.
The arena number is BA 7-4221.
My residence phone number is
BA 7-4491.
Now for some hockey news
that should be of interest to
many people not only in Lucan,
abut all the way from Exeter to
London, The Shamrock Minor
Hockey are sponsoring a junior
hockey teare,to be comprised of
juveniles and ex -juveniles from
the various teams in the league,
This Shamrock Junior team will
play an exhibition game against
the Strathroy Juniors this Friday
evening—that is Friday, Dec. 11
at 9:00 pan.
This should provide a splen-
did gap between Juvenile and
Intermediate ranks and also pro-
vide some excellent hockey. So
this Friday why not plan to come
out and see the boys in action.
