Kindergarten here unique A successful Minor JIOckey Coaches Clinic was held at the arena last Saturday. Al- though the tern out was not as good as it was thought it wquld be, we had approximately 45 coaches in attendance. The in- strection was of the highest order. Many of the poaches in at- tendance, some of whom have been in hockey 20 years or more, expressed the opinion that they learned a great deal from this clinic. It ishopeci that Recently, I have attended two funerals, This is anent two more than my usual 10-year quota. I don't know why' have avoid- ed funerals all My life. It hasn't been a conscious. hing, but more a matter of inertia. And it al, WayS seemed, foolish, making a fuss over the clay when the spirit bad fled. Well, I've changed my mind. I didn't know what I was miss- ing. There is something inten- sely satisfying in the human drama involved in a funeral service, and I hereby promise all my friends that I will at- tend their funerals, if humanly possible. That is, if I don't beat them to the punch. Both of these services I was at were for people I admired and respected, but there the similarity ended. One was for an elderly lady, a simple Lu- theran service in a small many localities will now wish to conduct clinics Of their own using the coaches that attended the Liman affair as instructors. Instructors were W. J. 12 fleprenx, Professor and Head Of the Physical Health and Re- creation Education Dept,, UWO; Stan. Moore, director of recrea- tion In St. Marys and coach of the Stp 14larys Lincolns, last season's Ontario champions; Herb Carnegie, ex Quebec. Aces hockey player and inventor of the Carnegie System of posi- tional hockey; Pat Crudge, of Lucan, graduate of the CAHA Hockey Institute at Kingston, These instructors were ably assisted by Don "Boom" Gra- vett, recreation director in Ex- eter. Demonstrators used by Mr. L'Heureux were boys from Lucan namely, Jim Hearn, Mike Anderson, Gerd Hardy, Dennis Burt, Bill Anderson and Robert Carter. The noon luncheon was pre- pared and served by the ladies committee of the arena. Guests at the luncheon were Reeve Ivan Hearn, who welcomed the coaches on behalf of the Vil- lage of Lucan, and Jack Ryan, who spoke to the gathering on behalf of the Recreation Com- mittee Arena Board. Public skating is in full swing and as is always the case at the beginning of a winter season, the attendance is very encour- aging. Next Monday the Shamrock Minor Hockey League gets under way with the Lucan Pee- wees, Bantams and Midgets en- tertaining Ailsa Craig at the arena with the first game due to commence at 7 pm, Among other "firsts", Lucan boasts the only kindergarten in its inspectorate.

F/Sgt. C. W. Moody of Duch- ess has now accepted the po- sition and the first meeting is scheduled for Friday, Nov. 8 at the club house, when Mr. Moody hopes to see all old members as well as new mem- bers. When Lucan opened its Arena, June 14, 1950, and its swim- ming pool, July 20, 1963, com- munities in the vicinity, (in- cluding the city of London) look- ed on with amazement and envy, but many seem to have for- fotten another uniciee project, of perhaps equal importance. When fire destroyed the old public school in 1954, the school board was faced with the gi- gantic task of erecting a new building. The members of that board decided nothing was too good for Lucan's children, so they included something in the new building, which no other school in the whole inspector- ate (including new area schools) has today, — namely a kinder- garten room, Enrolled this year, are three Catholic children, one protest- ant child from Denfield, one from Elginfield and one just outside the village, The parents of these children, realizing the great value of a year in kindergarten, are will- ing to pay the school board for the privilege of the child- ren's attendance, so Lucan par - ents whose children receive free education, when counting their blessings should list, not only the swimming pool in the summer, the arena all year. round, but also Lucan's kinder- garten. The present teacher, Mrs. Charles Corbett, succeeded Mrs. Don Hearn. Personal notes Home comes first: speaker chu rch. The other was for a comparativeiy young Man, an elaborate Roman Catholic ser- vice in a large church. Bach had its dignity and, at times, beauty, Incidentally, I learned some- thing at both. The Lutherans sing sitting down and Pr ay standing up, And there isn't much of my high school Latin left, so that I welcome the news from Rome that R.C. services Will be conducted in the native tongue, But there's a lot more to a funeral than the church ser- vice. There is the slow filling up of the church, with everyone taking a crafty look around to see who thought a visit to the funeral home would be enough. There is the lugubrious organ music that puts you in the right mood. There is the quickening of tempo as the minister or priest rustles in, There is the awkward, touching procession of relatives of the "deceased," some weeping, some whit e- faced with strain, some red- faced with the unaccustomed at- tention. And then there is the entrance of the coffin, gliding soundlessly on its wheeled frame, surround- ed by six good men and true. This is the moment of truth for the spectators, as they rea- lize with a jolt that this is the end of that person, and that this is the end to which we all shall come. Spirits lift slightly with the beauty of the chants, and plunge close to the maudlin when we are asked to join in "Abide With Me," and tears spurt be- yond reason, throats develop lumps as large as golf balls. When it is all over, I think everyone feels cleansed and up- lifted, rather than depressed, There is an imperceptible awakening of life, an eager turning to discussion of the weather, though we retain, for a decent interval, our mourn- ful looks. Everyone feels like a cup of tea or a good, stiff drink. There is a lot to be said for giving a fellow human being, EXPLORERS Last Monday evening, 26 Ex- plorers met at the UC school- room for their expedition. •• Counsellor Marg ar e t Sach told the story, "God's Alarm Clock". Counsellor Bar bar a Park led in a sing song and Elizabeth Revington and Susan Crozier conducted games. All members were asked to collect javex bottles and a Hal- lowe'en party was planned for November 1 to be held in the schoolroom. LIONS PLAN ANNIVERSARY As the Ladies Guild members were so busy preparing for the turkey supper and were using the church basement, last Mon- day night, the Lucan Lions Club decided to forego their usual dinner and just hold a business meeting in the Legion Hall in- stead. Most of this meeting was given over to the finalizing of plans for their 15th anniver- sary dinner and evening to be held at the Community Centre Wednesday, Oct. 30. OPP constable speaks to YPU The Lucan-Clandeboye YPU met at the home of Ward Hod- gins Sunday evening. Eleven m ember s answered the roll call.

Mr. Dave Park provided wagon and tractor which were driven by Doug Thompson. Twenty young people enjoyed the trip and seven late- comers joined the party at Iva Stanley's. er ac Steve Penton, building super- intendent of the London Life In- surance Company, London, and vice-president of London Res- cue Mission, was guest speaker at the meeting of Lucan Home and School Association held in the kindergarten room last Tuesday evening, Mr. Ponton divided his talk on education into three points: education in general; education in relation to the teacher and education in relation to the pupil, In spite of his many and varied activities he said home life was never forgotten. At the begin- ning of each year he first listed in his date book all anniver- saries, birthdays and special home activities and he never let anything interfere with these dates. All through lunchtime he an- swered questions and told so much of the dire need at the Rescue Mission that the presi- dent promised to send him a col- lection of good used clothing from the group. Each member had been notified to bring old razors and razor blades to the meeting to be used at the mis- sion. These were presented to Mr. Ponton. He was introduced by Mrs. Clare Stanley. Principal Robert J e nk i n s spoke briefly announcing that forms, would be sent to parents to sign if they wished their children to participate in the UNICEF collection; r epo rt s were sent out October 25 as to each child's progress this term and, if necessary, parents were asked to consult with the child's teacher, and, as Novem- ber 11 is a holiday this year, a Remembrance Day service will be held at the school after recess Friday, November 8. Mr. Jenkins and Mrs. Charlie Corbett, of the kindergarten tied for the attendance cup but rather than share it for the month, Mr. Jenkins withdrew, saying that Mrs. Corbett' s little people would appreciate it more than his Grade 8 pupils. es SHUR•GAIN . in hi Treasure Chest Lucan's Gift Shop Mrs. J.
