Youth enjoys ranger stint Are we going to have a civil war in Canada? You may laugh at the question, but a lot of people in this country don't find It too hilarious, La Belle province is sick and tired of her Cinderella role, She has had enough of being the bright and beautiful, but bedrag- gled and badly neglected sister in the family. Since Wicked Godmother Du- plessis kicked the bucket and Prince Charming Lesage rode up on his white charger, a new life has dawned for La Belle. She has realised that her wicked godmother was diddling her out of her inheritance, that some of her sisters, especially that Ontario, who was always a bit of a snob, were looking down their noses at her, and that the meek inherit the earth only when everybody else has tapped it. As a result she has lost her sign of a fine convention, it was tempting to cleyete. this Week's column to p,"cute" travelogue, But i came home with a deep feeling of unease concerning the mixed Marriage which has, for- attnost One hundred years, Gen- founded the eVerts by .being apparently haPPY one I'm afraid one of the partners 'Wants. a divorce, or if not that, at least a -completely new deal, "Has the lady grounds for divorce?" you. ask, Perhaps not, legally, Getting .a divorce. in this country has always been almost as tough as getting into heaven. And like all ladies, her real reasons for kicking over the. milk can are all mixed up with her emotions. She's sick of feeding 0. big' family on her butter-and-egg Money while the old man lives it up at the saloon with the proceeds from the beef he sold,. She's fed up with being com- plimented on her home cooking, when what she wants is a phea- sant-under-gl as s and cham- pagne dinner, like the other girls, once in a while. She's furious at the patroniz, ing air of the ladies who praise her needlework and then sweep off in their mink coats. Hell, as the chap said, bath no fury like a woman scorned, tIn.- less La Belle Province can be convinced that she is our only love, unless we court her with sincerity and intensity, she is going to desert her family, set up her own establishment, and treat us with the hauteur we deserve. In the meantime, I for one am going to start taking those Conversational French classes at night school,.

Of a total of well over 800 people who registered for swimming lessons a very high percentage passed their various levels of instruction. We have a large number of diplomas and crests belonging to students still unclaimed. If the people who have passed their tests and have not yet been given their awards would kindly call at the arena and pick them up we would appreciate it. A successful dance, run by the Lucan Junior Farmers, was held at the arena last Saturday night. Music was supplied by the CKSL Stringdusters. While on the subject of dances the re- gular Saturday Night Dance s will begin again on Saturday September 21. The Canadian Playboys will be supplying the rhythm each and every Satur- day. The arena is at present un- dergoing a face lifting and after a terrific amount of work put in by the staff it will be pleasing to the general public to enter the place this winter. All that remains is for the public to get behind the local hockey teams and turn out for the games. A. :., Inferiority complex. She has dropped her submissive obed- ience, She has lost her faith in wizards. Her eyes are blaz- ing. Her fists are up. She has a chip on her shoulder the size Of a chunk of cordwood. And she is very definitely going to the ball, whether the rest of the family likes it or not. Readers of this column pro- bably don't realize how lucky they are to have the whole French-Canadian revolution and the separatist movement explained to them by an ex- pert who just spent a week visiting La Belle Province, tra- velling on an English-Canadian shipping line, and staying in an English-Canadian-owned hotel. First, let me say that the girls in Montreal still knock you stiff. They have a flair, a style, that makes old guys like me stop dead in their tracks and turn slowly, mouth open, until a vicious poke in the ribs from wife or small daughter shatters the moment. Secondly, the traffic in Mon- treal is still the most frighten- ing, the cab-driving the most hair-raising, and the fares the most reasonable of any city in Canada.. Thirdly, the majestic bulk of Quebec, brooding over the St. Lawrence, with who knows what memories, is still pro- bably the most imposing city in North America. Fourthly the price of booze in Quebec province is fierce. Fifth, I can't stay up all night any more. Sixth, it was good to meet old weekly-editors and as- sorted friends and find out their golf is lousy, too.Seventh, after a week of dressing up and eat- ing fabulous meals and tipping everybody in sight, it's wonder- ful to sit in the backyard like a bum, unshaven, to eat that real food which only the Old Girl can prepare, and to get upfrom the table without having to fish for a bill, We enjoyed our trip thorough- ly, and even the kids arrived home utterly exhausted, sure The Lucan Golf Club, held its annual tournament at Oakwood Golf Course, Grand Bend, Wed- nesday, September 4, with 26 players participating.

Leonard Lambourne, 64, of Concession 12, London Town- ship, who was gored in the head and chest by a bull, August 19, died in St. Joseph's Hospital on Monday, September 2. Mr. Lambourne had tried to help his hired man, Ernest Rosser, 22, drive the balking, three-year-old Holstein bull into his barn, when the bull knocked him down and go r ed him. Mrs. Lambourne, armed only with a piece of wood, at- tempted to drive the bull away from her husband, but was un- successful, until Mr. Rosser came to her aid with a pitch- fork, Mr. Rosser himself re- ceived four broken ribs, when he, too, was attacked by the bull. Mr. Lambourne is survived by his wife, the former Zadie Donaldson, and two brothers, Gordon of Nipigon and William of Ilderton, (a one-time CNR agent at Lucan). Funeral services were held at the C.

"We needed it now, the bank said yes, so..." "Our troubles are over. This time they're putting down vitrified clay sewer pipe he says it lasts!" Many a household purchase like this starts with a bank loan. People find that the simpl e,natural thin g to do is to borrow where they save—at the local bank. In fact the chartered banks are the largest single source of consumer credit loans, both in number and value. Through the years the chartered banks have made it increasingly easy for people to borrow, at reason able rates, for almost any worthwhile purpose: the purchase of a car...a new home heating system...a son's or daughter's education—a family vacation... Three out of four bank loans are to individuals for their personal credit needs. And the total amount of such loans has almost doubled in the past five years...further evidence of the way bank customers are relying more and more on their local branches for borrowing as well as for all other financial services.
