These she lined at the front of the community auditorium. As she removed one of the 100 hats she had brought out from London, she would look at the hat and then at the models and immediately walk over and place it on the head ' of the model best suited for that particular hat. After abrief talk on the material, style and where made, the model would parade the hail, Some models were chosen much more often than others, but, believe it or not, the great grandmother, Mrs, Ira Carling, modelled the Most hats and stranger still every hat seemed just made for her. After the last hat had been shown every one was given the opportunity of trying on and purchasing any hat that most appealed to them. The quilt, quilted at the March meeting was on display and a goodly number of draw tickets Sold. The draw will not be made until after the Dog Show, May 11, when the members, hope to sell many more tickets. The tarts and small cakes, left after the lunch, were also sold so the WI members felt they had a very profitable and pleasant evening.

Right about pow our women- folk should be coming into their own. In most localities, the ladies, bless and praise them, are working like beavers, gr o a n leg like galley slaves, hounding their husbands, chas- tising their, children, and gen- erally making life unbearable for all about them. It's house- cleaning time. But in this neck of the woods, things are different. The gals work just as hard, beef just as bitterly, and turn things just as topsy-turvy as their inland sisters. But nobody pays any attention to them. At least none of the males in the family do. Only the few women with the foresight to get at their spring cleaning early in March get much reaction around here. Those who leave it until the ice goes out of the creeks might as well forget about getting any help, attention or sympathy. Women carefully lay their plans to have the old man help them paper a room on his day off. Comes the time. She gets all the junk out to do the job, turns around to call him, and he isn't there.

TO-Wee it Wiest another Week to eat, Oink aria make merry, gel/en days of money-making, *riling, bingo and hockey finals but to many it was a special holy week of meditation, church ;Ong and Christian Stock-taking, Fer many years Lucan's three churches laid aside dif- ferences of creed and form and enjoyed a week of united ser- vices and true fellowship. This year only members of the United Church and the P entecostal Holiness church held union ser, vices, two of which were held in the United Church, Tuesday and Wednesday nights, and the thtrd in the Pentecostal 'less Church on Thursday night, On Tuesday night the Rev.

As a result it was nearly 9 pm before refreshments were served by the lunch committee, Mrs. Jack Steacy, Mrs. C, H. George and Mrs. Jack Lankin. The splendid attendance of over 100 exceeded expectations and extra tables had to be set up. Thanks to the talent and ingenuity of Miss Muriel Carl- ing the tables looked very at- tractive, centred with an ar- rangment of coloured kleenex flowers and ferns. Mrs. Murray Hodgins, as- sisted by Mrs. Perry Charsley and Mrs. G. E. Nicholson, was responsible for the unique and attractive stage decorations. Between the separated curtains stood a high white wooden trellis, decorated with artificial roses and vines, borrowedfrom Mrs. Les Kennedy. Fastened to the curtains on either side were hula hoops decorated with colored kleenex flowers, and centred with one of the table decorations. Tables had been placed behind the, curtains for the hats and the ladies had planned the models would pass through the arch down one of the side steps parade the hail and return the steps on the other side but Mrs. Humphrys de- cided to just use the ground floor for what she called her "evening of fun", However, the stage did make a most attrac- tive background, Mrs. Humphrys began with a short talk on her experience as a seller of hats and of how she learned through the years, to know which hat would best suit the varied features of the pur- chaser, She then asked for volunteers to act as models Additional cards 3 for 25e "SNARE THE WEALTH" AND EXTRA GAMES i11111111111111I11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111I11111111111111111111111111101111111111111111111111111111111Fg NEW BAKERY A SUCCESS Fred Revington of the Rev- ington Meat Market reports his new home baking department (opened Tuesday April 9) is proving a drawing card to his store.

Watch our windows for weekend specials April 18-20 By NORMAN CARTER As I mentioned last week the ice is now well on its way out, and hockey is over for another season. Although it must be said that quite a successful season was enjoyed by all minor hockey teams and the figure skating group. The only team in minor hockey in Lucan to bring home the silverware was the Canadian Legion Bantams. Apart from the two trophies, one in the April 6 tournament, they also won the D championship of the Shamrock League by defeating Stoney- brook in overtime in the third game of a best of three series. Congratulations to all the ban- tam players and to all who work- ed with them throughout the sea- son. The Lucan Legion Midgets while they did not win a cham- pionship came up with a very creditable performance to reach the Shamrock League fi- nals only to lose out to Ailsa Craig in three games. Finally while on the subject of hockey, the Pee Wees lost their first game in the Goderich Tourna- ment by the odd goal. They were leading 2-0 at the end of the second period.
