The recently organized Lucan Community Minor Athletic As- sociation has held a cpuple more meetings, the most recent on Sunday afternoon last. Addition- al executive from the commu- nity surrounding Lucan were brought in to round out the previous basic executive. This organization augers well for the future growth of recrea- tton in the community. In the past—we say this without be- littling the splendid work that had already been done—there was a great inequality in recrea- tion oppertunities. The young- ster who was goad enough to make the team, fared all right. The ones who didn't make the team—didn't play, One of the main aims of this organization is to try and pro- vide an equal opportunity for all youngsters wishing to par- ticipate—regardless of their abil- ity. This is truly a worthwhile endeavour and deserves the sup- port of everyone, which it is hoped will be freely given. Keep this name in mind—THE LUCAN COMMUNITY MINOR ATHLE- TIC ASSOCIATION—you'll be hearing much more about it as time goes along. Right about this time of year —in spite of the weather— thoughts centre around the Christmas Season, We mention- ed before in our column that the Public School Christmas pro- gram is well under way.
