Each year, theblackline on the boozing chart inches .higher, and eVe are told the hor- rifying fact that every man, Woman and child in this coun- try puts away 16 gallons of hooch and 84 gallops of beer, or some such, NoW I know that while you May drink that much, Aunt Ma- bel, I don't and my kids don't and I doubt whether their grand- mother does, so somebody is really knocking back the stuff. Who is the culprit? The vil- lain is not the Canadian tem- perament, but the Canadian weather. For eight months of the year we are adjured at every turn to have a nip to keep out the cold. During the other four months, we slosh it down by the bucket to beat the heat. Like right now. At this very mo- ment, at 5 o'clock on a July day, the mercury past 90, it is horrifying to speeulate on the number of Canadians who are lolling in their back yards, or at a cottage, or on a beach, or in an air-cooled bar, clutching a cold beverage. And getting steadily hotter. I find it difficult to criti- cize them. I've just been through one of the worst weeks in my life, in the middle of the worst heat wave of the summer, and feel nothing but sympathy for those who turn to drink in the hot weather. I have been build- ing a picnic table. The Old Battleaxe has been niggling about one for a couple of years. All through February and March she kept seeing them advertised at low, low prices, I wasn't interested. First, I Wasn't in the mood for picnic tables while I was shovelling snow in every daylight hour to Neil McRann of Lucan, his horse, Maud's Boy, and Pat Crowe of Elmvale have really been breaking the headlines at the London raceway. Mr. Mc- Rann was the teamster with the highest average and Crowe the one with the most points. The 36-night spring harness racing meet at the Western Fair Raceway closed Saturday even- ing with the largest attendance of 6,717. Piloted by Marshall Moore of Sernia, Sister Harmony C. owned by Bill Ellerington of Exeter and Sheridan Revington of Lucan, won her fourth straight victory. Pat Crowe, who claimed The Rocket B. from Clarence Young of Lucan for $800, has sold him to Joe Hodgins, campaign- ing at the Buffalo raceway. Horses owned by the Hardy Bros. also made a fine showing, during the past week with even the 12-year-old pacingveteran, Herbert Carter, winning twice. The following were Lucan winners for the week: Monday, Herbert Carter and Maud's Boy (McRann) firsts; Wednesday, Pauline Vole (Hardy Bros) first; Joannie Chief (Hardy Bros) sec- ond; Flashf ire (Jack Hardy) second; Thursday, Dale Grat- ton (Neil MORann) first; Friday, Herbert Carter, Pauline Volo and Gretta Gratton (Neil Mc- Rann) all first. Anglican Ray Simpson of London was the guest speaker at the 11 o'clock service as the rector Rev. E. 0. Lancaster is on vacation. Larry Lewis ox Gran- ton will have charge of the organ for July while Gordon Jacklin is holidaying. The .children of the church will meet at the church on Sat- urday, July 13 at 2 pm for their annual SS picnic. United Dr. Murdo McKinnon of Hyde Park, was the guest speaker at the 11 o'clock service, while the pastor the Rev. G. W, Sach is on vacation. He will also take the service on July 14. BY NORMAN CARTER Recreation Director After a hectic week of teach- ing active games, sports and fit- ness to a group of 120 teenage playground supervisors from all over Southwestern Ontario, at Kee-Mo-Kee Camp, it is good to be back in the fold. Our own playground program is now in full swing and we still have room for plenty more children at 50e per week, and you parents can be assured that this is a very worthwhile pro- gram at which your children can spend their time. A is both en- joyable and educational. The swimming pool is opera- ting at full capacity and all concerned consider this to be an outstanding success. While on the subject of the pool, don't forget the registration for the second session today (Thurs- day) for the session begining Monday, July 15. The official opening of the pool will take place on Saturday, July 20 with many special events taking place, Included will be a beef barbecue, bands, ball games and a monster dance, A prominent member of the On- tario Cabinet will do the hon- ors, and of course there will be a swimming and diving show. On the baseball scene the Lucan Midgets lost two close ones during last week bowing 8-7 to Crediton Juveniles and 8-6 to Hensel' Midgets. The peewees are improving with every outing but they still have yet to win a game. I hope to start track and field training sometime next week with a view to holding a field day in the middle of August so all you athletes come out and get prepared. Oliver Guilfoyle district farmer Oliver Guilfoyle, 86, a re- tired Biddulph farmer, died in London, Thursday, July 4. The body rested in the C. Haskett & Son's Funeral Home, Lucan, until 2 pro Monday July 8, when the Rev. Lyle A. Ben- nett of the Anglican Church, Granton, conducted funeral ser- vices. Interment was in St. James Cemetery, Clandeboye. Pallbearers included Messrs Earl Middleton, Joe Leslie, Ja- mes O'Shea, Fred McIlhargey, Wm. Frost, and Robert Cole- man, Mr. Guilfoyle was the son of the late Edward and Elizabeth Guilfoyle. He was unmarried. His only survivor is one sister, Mrs. Mary E. Coursey, RR 1 Lucan. spare. Secondly, the tables were all of the type that you have to put together your,self, and I had had enough of that caper, In my time I have put to- gether everything from baby's cots through prefab cupboards and unpainted bookcases to backyard swim pools. inevi- tably, the 'baby's cots have turn- ed out looking like bookcases and the swimming pools like baby's cots. Screws never fit. Boards are warped. The plans, which tell yeti with a sneer that any half- wit can put this thing together, are invariably put together by half-wits. Results I go Into adeep, flam- ing, unadulterated fury. MY wife dances gingerly around, just out of reach, The kids quietly go into another part of the house and turn the radio on full volume. Ignoring the debacles of the past, I decided to humor The Heckler, buy her a picnic table, and wrestle it' together, But suddenly, we found, all those hot bargains had vanished. Pic- nic tables had soared in value. "The heck with this," my wife said. "We'll do it the eco- nomical way." We went to the mill, where they cut out the planks and too- befores, I think they call them. I was a little relieved that she didn't want me to chop a tree and make my own planks. Lum- ber was only $19.95. Saved six or ten dollars already. They didn't have any of the regular plans for picnic tables, but they had a plan for a kiddies' table, and the fellow said it was the same principle. Using tried and true methods, I did not set to work. I called a couple of husky young confreres and told them to drop around for an ale. I just happened to have a couple of spare hammers when they arrived. I claimed I had asked them around for a nail. Three hours, a dozen ales and a hundred nails later, we had various pieces of lumber nailed together, none of which seemed to have any connection with the pieces left over. My helpers quit and went swimming. Undaunted, I played my next card. Called another friend, an expert in woodworking, and ask- "IT AIN'T GOING TO RAIN NO MORE!" Lucanites are beginning to wonder if they are living right! Another week has come and gone and still not one drop of rain. Even the weatherman has cea- sed to predict, "possible show- ers." Though other nearby locali- ties have had a little rain yet Lucan has been rainless for 28 days, Pentecostal Holiness The Sunshine Hour and the Lifeliners ended their meetings until September, on Friday, June 28, Dale Logan was the winner of the contest sponsored by the Sunshine Hour. At the Youth service Mr. Allan Needham of London Town- ship showed pictures of the Holy Land which he took on a trip there two years ago. SUNDAY SERVICE Owing to the Pentecostal Camp services at Arthur there was only the 11 o'clock service in Lucan taken by the pastor, the Rev. E. A. Gagnon. There will be no church ser- vices or SS next Sunday to per- mit all to attend the services at Arthur. VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL A Vacation Bible School, will be held in the Sunday School rooms Monday July 15 to July 19 for all children who wish to attend. WA AIDS CAMP Last Thursday the Women's Auxiliary met at the home of Mrs. Rufus Thompson, with Mrs. Howard Currie, the presi- dent, in charge of the meeting and Mrs. Meine Eizenga the speaker. Many families contri- buted money, which will go to- ward food for the camp at Arthur. Good used and new clothing was collected and will be sent to the missionaries in Alaska. Baby layettes are badly needed for Indian families. H rold Hodgins gets court posts Mr. J. Harold Hodgins has been appointed clerk and bailiff of the Third Division Court here to succeed J. H.
