Can you actually conceive the picture of an honest, placid Canadian standing up and ask- ing questions at a political meeting, unless he was drunk? Can you imagine sensible Can- adian voters cheering, except at a hockey game? * The 1903 election is going to go down in history. It may not solve anything, politically. But emotionally it will sym- bolize the time when the Wild, free spirit of the Canadianpeo- pie burst loose, and we were revealed for the tempestuous, exotic, romantic race we really are. It's beautiful, somehow, And, somehow, sad, For generations there was nobody like us. And. now we're just going to be like everybody else, Forecasts Liberal win is ever prieheeed there Will always be thAeteleCtere. No doubt the year the Limp water works' system, was pro- posed there were Mae), lee-, nanites who said, ffI have a cistern to the basement and a good Well in my Inelgard. I don't need any Weterwerit eystern and have my taxes raised etc, etc," Yet if yon went to those peo, ple today, how many of them would give up their bathrooms, their, in-door toilets, their hot water tanks and all the other Conveniences of a water system Red Re back to the geed old days C. History will no doubt repeat itself: When these people Ace tually see the sewers being in- stalled on their etreet they will, in many cases, change their minds and sign up. Of course there will always be some who only think of "me, my wife and my son Johri,t and 'lathing of their home town or of what sewers will mean to the growth and progress pf Lucan. The reeve has been approach- ed by several industries, which refused to locate here because of the lack of sewers, so all those with a speck of public spirit--even though they them- selves are living on borrowed time—will no doubt sign up for Lucan sewers, Speaks to 1710%.$ Author of Donnelly book warned not to write it There Was a good attendance at the open Meeting in the 'Legion Irian Monday night to ,discuss the Pres AN cons of helean'e new sewer system. Many Pedestrians, Who Plan- ned attending were prevented by water,-covered streets, (The Legion Hall itself was nearly surrounded by water and en- trance could only be made by the rear). Many availed themselves of the opportunity to question the eegineer, Kee Clawson, on the letter sent each home owner, Those opposed to sewers were also given an opportunity to air their views. To clarify the letter it was decided to send out another letter, in the near future. Already the clerk has re- ceived a goodly number of re, plies to the first letter, Many signified their willingness to pay cash, while others, who can't afford cash, signed up for the yearly plan. COM1VMNT No matter what new project p m et h i.ng anpreeedented, uncalled for, and unmistakable is happening to our good, gray Canadian people, Their feelings are showing, One of the things I've el- weys admired About up Coma- diane has been our dour lack of response to any of the usual standard emotional stimulants; Queen, country, flag, anthem, politics, Latin races are expected to be excitable, emotional, voluble and revolutionery. Nobody is surprised when a Teuton wants to beat you up one minute and sob over a song the next. Scan- dinaviens are noted for their moodiness, Slays are.explosive, Asians form shouting mobs, Africans are unpredictable„ Not us, At least, we never were before, Compared to us, The tiger is loose!

OLDEN DAYS IS TOPIC At the meeting of the Birr WI held at the home of Mrs. Charles Brumwell, Gordon San- dow, an Ilderton hair stylist, gave hints on the dyeing of hair and of individual styling, G, F. Copeland, an historian on Lon- don and Middlesex County, was the guest speaker and gave a talk of London's olden days and showed pictures of horse drawn street carts used in London at that time. MARKS 91 YEARS Mrs, Mary Bennett, who lives with her nephew, Jim Maher, celebrated her 91st birthday, by entertaining 18 of her friends of the community to a turkey dinner. This birthday dinner, at her home has become an an- nual affair. Still in good health, Mrs. Bennett performs all the duties of her home. She is a member of St. Pat- rick's Roman Catholic Church. Orlo Miller, author of "The Dennellys Must Die" and for- mer resident of Lucan, was guest speaker at the openmeet- ing pf the Liman Home and School Association last Wed- nesday night. Mr. Miller has been a free lance writer for newspapers, magazines, radio and TV since 1932. He is a member of se- veral historical branches and is interested in adult educa- tion and the Anglican church. He won seven awards from the Institute for Education at the Ohio State University and six awards for the CBC school broadcasts. He has written five books, several one-act plays and acted in 40 plays, the last being the prize-winning "One Way Pen- dulum". In May he will be ordained as a minister in the Anglican church. A number of people at the meeting knew him well during the years he lived in Lucan in the house now occupied by Dwight Ball. He spoke on his, latest book, "The Don n el ly s Must Die," Friends shower Saturday bride which took him years to com- pile and which he elaims is the only authentic history of the Donnelly family and their mur- der, Feb. 4, 1880. The feud which led up to the murder, began years before in Ireland between the Black-feet and the White Boys. "The Donnellys" he said, "were blamed for many atrocities of which they were in- nocent," Before beginning his book he was warned not to write it, that it was better to let dead dogs lie, but he wrote it.. As the Donnelly farm was only a few miles north-east of Liman, Mr. Miller's talk was of par- ticular interest to all present, whose parent's long remember- ed the night of the fire which ACCIDENTS IN FAMILY Three year old Janet, daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. Russell Goddard, fell off the bridge over the creek, at Water St. Though at that time the .water was only about two feet deep, she would no doubt have been drowned had her big brother David not been there to rescue her. Last Friday a tube in the TV burst, filling the Goddard house with smoke. Mrs. Goddard phoned the fire department, af- ter disconnecting the TV but the smoke had begun to abate before the engine appeared and the TV itself did not catch fire. On Sunday Janet fell off her tricycle, and for some time will not be eligible to enter any beauty contest. With this third accident the Goddard family hope "misfortune", will get off their doorstep for a change, the Yanks have always been a wildly emotional nation. Even the British, who Pride them- selves on their reserve, are sloppy and sentimental com- pared to us, Or at least they used to be. We have always been thorny, owly, surly, ornery, indepen- dent and deeply unenthusiastic people. We have been unim- PresSive, perhaps, but also us- impreesed, Other nations have had pro- cessione and parades. The Pe0- ple turn out in hundreds of thousands to cheer at the tops of their voices, wave flags, surge against the police lines. We have had our parades, too. If it's not a nice enough,clay to go for a picnic, or play golf, or go fishing, or work in the garden, Canadians will turn out in their handfuls for a parade, They will stand in their scanty ranks, stonily watching anything from a prime minister to aSanta Claus parade. Occasionally, if it's the Queen or Winston Churchill or somebody of equi- valent rank, there might be a gentle patter of handclapping. Once in a while, some eccen- tric will actually cheer -- one little hurray! He subsides im- mediately, horribly embarras- sed, while everyone in his vi- cinity stares at him coldly. In other countries, univer- sity students write poetry, join parties, man the barricades, march on the palace, die for their ideals, In this country, the university students write letters home for money, go to parties, man the bars, march to the folknik joints, and die at a ripe old age, usually for their high living. But things are changing. The solemn, cynical Canadian is being swept out of his quiet backwater into the seething mainstream. His ink-like blood is aboil. Strange, savage snarls are escaping his thin lips. Deep within him, a Beast is being Robins arrive at the Carlings For years the Carling family, on Frances St„ have taken great pleasure watching the birds around their bird feeder in the back yard, The number of pigeons in Lu- can have increased to such en extent that they have become a real nuisance. Mrs. Carling reports that this year they have chased away many of her feath- ered friends. However the fa- mily enjoyed watching the car- dinals, wood peckers and blue- jays. On Friday she rang up to say the first robin had returned, so with most of the snow gone, surely Spring is just around the corner. Those who had occasion to be on Beech St. the end of last week must have wondered if they were dreaming to see all along Mrs. Calvin Haskett's perennial flower bed, tufts of crocuses out in bloom for this same bed, only a few days previous was covered with ice and snow. PERSONAL Mr. and Mrs. Tom Coursey, now of Chesley called on for- mer neighbours on the Cour- sey Road last Wednesday. JOINT BIRTHDAYS Mr. and Mrs. John Campbell and family of Toronto were weekend guests of Mr. and Mrs. Sheridan Revington. On Sunday a family dinner was held in honor of Mr. Campbell's birth- day and the birthday of 12- year-old Peter Revington, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lyle Revington of Mooresville. IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE With his radio stock depleted and four more TVs sold last week, Grant's Repair Shop somewhat resembled, "Old Mo- ther H u bb a r d's Cupboard", over the weekend. The eight beautiful trophies for the Ban- tam. Tournament were also pur- chased through Mr. Brady. As soon as these have been in- scribed they will be exhibited in the window, to replace the souvenirs now on exhibition. PERSONAL Mr. Maurice Cobleigh has purchased the house vacated by the late Mr. Michael Has- kett on Alice St. and moved in Saturday. An open, well-attended Li- beral Meeting chaired by Ber- nard Berm, was held in the Legion Hall Friday night. Robert McCubbin, as guest speaker predicted that his party would win 135 to 140 seats. He spoke in support of the riding's Liberal Candidate, George A. McKenzie. He compared the problems of today with those that Mackenzie King inherited from R, B. Ben- nett. He said one of the Liberals first problems would be to re- store financial stability in Can- a.da and that the growing of sugar beets in this area should be encouraged. Mr. McKenzie, who outlined the Liberal party's platform, stressed what he termed the seriousness of the present na- tional situation, where public debt is increasing to dangerous proportions. He visualized an old age pension program with a $75 a month pension permitting an individual to retire at an earlier age. Ross Parsons, pre- sident of W. Middlesex Liberal Association, and Camp ai Manager Ron Caldwell, also spoke. High tribute was paid to the late Dr. F. S. Kipp and Frank Hudson, former chairrnanof the 13iddulph Liberal Association. followed the murder. Mrs. Rudy Engel, Past H & S president, moved a vote of thanks to Mr. Miller. Prior to his address, a short business meeting was held, at which the president, Mrs, Ja- mes Freeman, reported on the ice carnival and said more mo- ney would have to be procured to purchase graduation pins to be presented to the Grade 8 graduates at the gradu ado ban- quet to be held in the Legion Hall in June. Mrs. James Leitch and Mrs. Glen lieskett were named a nominating committee to bring in a slate of officers at the next meeting. The procuring of a plaque to take the place of the attendance cup was suggest- ed. The report cards will go out March 29. Mrs. Harold Cob- leigh's room again, won the attendance cup. After the meeting, which was held in the school auditorium, all went out in the hall for re- freshments. Here Mr. Miller autographed several copies of his book and answered many questions and visited with the friends he knew when he lived in Lucan. PHOTO EXHIBITION Lucan's photoeeapher, Rudy Engel is now exhibiting his work in one of the windows of the Koffee Kup Restaurant. Last week he had a display of wedding pictures and this week three framed pictures of child- ren, Beth Van Arenthal, whose mother is on the P.S. staff, Jody Rydall whose father oper- ates the tile yard at Elgin- field, and Bobby Watson of Win- nipeg, who had his three pose picture taken while visiting his grandparents, Dr. and Mrs. T.
