A couple of night s after that I watched television "comedian" Lenny Bruce, Bath experiences produced the same reactions: fascination, repul- sion, and sadness, They also made me ponder the causes of the growing neuroticism of to- day. Surely we can't blame it all on The Bomb. That's too easy. I think there are a couple of ingredients a little closer to home, on which we cap focus, If we eliminated them, we might even eliminate The Bomb. The two elements in modern living which are increasing our population of nuts at a frighten- ing pace are speed and greed. Speed is the deity of the 20th century as surely as money was that of the lath, reason that of the 18th. We worship it cynically, but unashamedly. Greed is the fat, slobbering little beast inside us that makes us repulsive if we feed it, frus- trated if we don't, and happy only if we strangle it at birth. Everything is speeding up. When I was a kid, people used to sit around on their porches on a May evening, shooting the breeze, then go off to bed soon after dark. They slept all night. No pills. If you sit around on your front porch nowadays, all it means is that you're a bum, because if you were any good Granton Institute names executive President Elmer Mosurin- John presided for the Lions Club dinner in the Anglican Church basement, last Mon- day night. As this is the Lucan Lions' 15th year it was decided to hold an anniversary d inner some time next Fall, with the new executive to be in charge of the necessary arrangements. The May dance, at the Com- munity Centre, is scheduled for Friday May 31. Ladies' night will be celebrated June 21, at the Glen Allan Restaur- ant, London. Fifty dollars was voted for a bigger and better fireworks display at the arena grounds on Monday, May 20 beginning at dusk. Many of the village organizations are taking part. Mr. Alex Young will repre- sent the Lions Club. A few surprises are being planned to begin the display, also a musical program. It was decided to hold no more bingos until fall. Mrs. Herman Young's group of the Ladies' Guild catered for the dinner. displayed with pride a beautiful large wooden plaque, with the following inscription. "Lucan Area Volunteer De- partment -- two year or over active members, J. Alex Young, J. R. Young, W. E. Sovereign, G. McFalls, J. Rummell, C. Rummell, R. Anderson, C. Stan- ley, W.

Plans were discussed for the annual picnic to be held in June, the place and date to be yet chosen. championship dog show and li- censed obedience trials in the Lucan Arena Saturday. There were 284 entries, re- presenting 54 breeds from all over Ontario and from Michi- gan, New York, Texas, Chicago, Danbury Conn. and Georgia, A "Kerry Blue Terrier" owned by Mr. and Mrs. H. C Bett s, Richmond Hill, was awarded the Forest City trophy for best dog in show and was judged best Canadian-bred dog. The ladies of the arena board were kept busy all day at the snack bar and also providing a hot first course dinner in the auditorium. The Lucan WI members provided the dessert course, with a number of mem- bers working on two-hour shifts. The arena was the busiest spot in Lucan all day Saturday from early morn until late at night. you'd have enough money so that you could either be chas- ing around the lawn behind a power mower, or sitting in- side watching television, like a decent citizen. Speed has ceased to be a means to an end, and has be- come an end in itself, though we refuse to admit it. We speed up production so that we can "turn out the article more cheaply," As soon as the new method is in operation, the price goes up. "Higher overhead." We speed on the highways to save time, and spend six months in the hospital, when we fail to make that curve. We speed housework with new gadgets, so the good wife will have more leisure time -- to sit around with a bottle, or go out and play bingo. High on the list of those latter-day Satans who cater to, tempt, and urge on the poor ordinary slob in his worship of speed and greed are the adver- tising men. If that seems alittle harsh, don't take my word for it. Just pay a visit to a super- market. Shopping used to be a leisurely pleasant part of daily life for women. It was a hangover from the open market of less frazzled times. At the grocery store, they met their neighbors, ex- changed repartee with the gro- cer, pinched the meat, tasted the cheese, squeezed the bread, thumped the melons, prodded the chickens, and sniffed the fish, And above all, they chewed the fat. Today, shopping is a fright- ening, soul-destroying ordeal. The only things the ladies can get their hands on are the vege- tables, and there isn't much joy in pinching, thumping, or taking a bite out of a turnip. Where their grandmothers dipped a hand into a box or barrel to taste or feel, they worriedly read labels or anxiously peer into those vast, gleaming mor- tuaries which have replaced the old meat counter. From every shelf, in every color, they are shouted at to "hurry, be quick, hasten, grab me, buy more," and harassed by "family size, special deal, limited time only, 10e off." No wonder they scuttle about furtively, snatching up packages like hot potatoes and throwing them wildly into their carts. Everything spells out speed and greed: minute rice, instant THE NEXT IMPORTANT STEP: After graduation, University is the next import- ant step for those who plan to continue their education.
