Teen town dance winners DO-IT-NOW! i#,, AWAKE NIGHTS Many people never seem to get a good nights rest. They toss and turn in bed-and then are dull and listless throughout the day. All of which may be due to a temporary toxic condition which calls for the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills. Healthy kidneys' filler poisons arid excess acids from the blood. If they slow down and impurities stay in the system, disturbed rest, tired feeling and backache often follow. If you don't rest well at night-if you haven't that sprightly step of health in the daytime-use Dodd's Kidney Pills. You can depend on Dodd's! 62 Call JB at 235-1863 General Insurance Real Estate Mortgages JOHN BURKE LTD. DEVON BLDG. EXETER BARN CLEANER SILO .

Son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Louis O'Neil, Mr. O'Neil was born in McGillivray Township and farmed there until retiring to Lucan three and one-half years ago. He was an honorary member of the Irving Masonic Lodge, the members of which held a Masonic service in the funeral home, Friday evening. Mr. O'Neil was particularly active in all kinds of sport and community activities. He was a member of the famous Irish Nine ball team of 1922. He was one of the original members of the Arena Board and as a mem- ber of St. James Church, Clandeboye, held many offices there. were 'sold out Two New Year Dances were held in Lucan by the Lions Club and the Legion Auxiliary at the Community Centre and the Le- gion Hall.

Friends honor Oct. 14, when, with 21 other valuable horses, he was bur- ned to death. With the moving of Joe Hay to London and the death of Mrs. Strasser, Lucan, was re- duced to only one restaurant for months, so an extra welcome was extended to Don Simpson, when he took over the Koffee Kup. (As yet the Strasser Lunch Room is unoccupied.) One of the big highlights of the year was the Business - men's -- "bigger than ever" --Santa Clausparade. Owing to lack of patients, W. S. Riddick had to sell his nursing home and take his pa- tients to Talbot St., London. The property was purchased by Clarence Ha.skett for a funeral home. Apparently Lucan's elusive fire-bug, so active in 1961, is on vacation or has reformed, for with the exception of the Denno Bldg. and the attempt on Scott's elevator, all has been quiet and Lucanites are breathing easier. "The wonderful year of -- 62," will,probably go down in history as the year the Vil- lage of Lucan held two nomina- tions and two elections inside three weeks, to elect a reeve and four councillors. WEEKEND SPECIALS 'By MRS. ROBERT RUNDLE WOODHAM The Woodham school has been closed the past couple of days due -to furnace repairs.

For the seventh consecutive year the Lucan Home andSchool Association sponsored a music festival in May. Movings and deaths, have made many changes in the vil- lage. For the second year Alice St., was probably the hardest hit. The Bob Drennan and Jack Ryan family moved to London, while death claimed, Mrs. Har- vey Hodgins, Burns Smith, Mit- chell Haskett and Roy Stone. Mr. and Mrs. Allan Westman were hospitalized for several months and Mr. Harvey Hod- gins is still a patient in St. Mary's Hospital, London. Many of Lucan's horsemen and pigeon fanciers, were 1962 winners, but all were shocked to hear "Howard Rosecroft" owned by Sheridan Revington and Bud Gilmour, (which had won an estimated $120,000) had met an untimely end in the tragic fire at Batavia Downs, Revington Meat Market, Ph. 227-4291 ex-residents Mr. and Mrs. B.J.

WEEK OF PRAYER SERVICES Week of prayer services be- gan Jan. 2, in the Pentecostal Holiness Church with the Rev. E. 0. Lancaster of Holy Trinity Anglican Church, the gu e st speaker. On Thursday evening the ser- vice was in the Anglican Church. Owing to the illness of the Rev. G. W. Sach, the Rev. E. A. Gagnon of the Pentecostal Holi- ness Church was the gue st speaker. The last meeting of the week rs Standing on 'the portals of 1963, let us pause a moment and look back at some of the high- lights of 1962. Probably due to the fact, Lucan is still without sewers, there has been practically no building activity in the village, other than the erection of the new post office. However, there has been a number of new houses built on No. 4 Highway just east of the village. Two, at least, of Lucan's Contractors have had good years. Erwin Scott reports his business has nearly doubled with the erection of four houses (outside the village) new sheds and repair work. As for Cecil Lewis, he built one house in Centralia, one in London Town- ship, besides spending several months, converting the former Lucan Motor Sales Building, Into the now modern IGA Food Liner. His laundromat has grown from four to eight washers and three driers. He is just waiting for sewers, to further expand. Mr. Lewis has also added another line of busi- ness, the cartage of from 20 to 50 tons of mink feed, from the United States, each week. This has necessitated the purchase of a seventh truck. Reeve Ivan Hearn, reports one of the greatest benefits to the tax payer during 1962 was the raising of the county rebate subsidy, for street work, from 25 to 50%. The village council is now installed in its new quarters, in the former Porte Bldg., the upper storey of which is near- ing completion, as an apartment for Constable A. E. Cowan and family. The original kitchen has been divided into a washroom and maintenance office, for Alex Young. During 1962 two centennials, were held in the village. To celebrate their 100th year, the Irving Masonic Lodge 154, held several special meetings throughout the year. As for the United Church's Centennial, weeks and weeks of planning preceded the two special church services and the dinner and program, in a large tent on the church lawn. The highlight in Holy Trinity Anglidan Church, was the dedi- cation of a large memorial window to the memory of the late Mrs. D. A. Ashworth. In the Pentecostal Holiness Church, the pastor the Rev. E. A. Gagnon, organized a senior and junior choir. The former has been particularly active, put- ting on programs in London, Chatham, Exeter, Clinton, Stay- ner and Toronto. In the educational sphere, His excellancy the Most Rev. John C. Cody, Bishop of Lon- don, officially opened St. Pat- rick's new Separate School in September and the trustees of Biddulph Area 1, have chosen a site for their new school at Michael B obor, who pre- viously owned and operated a garage and restaurant in Hamil- ton, is the new owner of the Lucan Central Hotel. Mr. Bobor and his wife Eileen have three children, a 10-year- old daughter and 13-year-old twin boys. They reside on Main St. S. Mr. Bobor, who is particu- larly interested in music and sports, has already joined several Lucan organizations. He is now a member of the Canadian Legion, a member of the businessmen's association, a member of the Lions Club, and on the committee for the National Institute for the Blind. Mrs. W. J.

In the afternoon Leslie's father, Mr. Earl Carling took the three girls to the river to toboggan. All went well until Mr. Car- ling decided to show the girls what he could do. Perchance Mr. Carling had over-eaten at Christmas and New Years for his extra weight took him out on to the river. The next thing he knew he was in water up to his hips but suffered no ill effects from his early dip. Lake, Sask. were among those from a distance, who attended the funeral of the late Wilfred Stocks. Mr. and Mrs. Donald G.
