Hunter, Hunter, hold your lire!

That's your neighbor, Mr.

It's not a plump hen partridge.
All right. You don't like that
verse? How about this one?
Along the line of smoky hills
The crimson hunters stand,
A hundred thousand Bob's and.

Their muskets in their hand.
They're in the swamps and
valleys, too,
As thick as grease in skillet;
They have but one ambition, to
See something move and kill

Give me a crisp November day
With a little skiff of snow,

pretty rattled, jumping up be-

shoulders.

UNITS JOINT MEETING
Owing to Thursday being Hal-
lowe'en the members of the
south UCW unit decided to can-
cel their meeting, scheduled for
that night, and join with the
north unit on Tuesday evening.
Mrs. Charles Sovereign was
in the chair. Mrs. Alex Young
and Mrs. Bert Thompson were
in charge of the worship service
and the study book, "The Rim
of Asia". Having completed the
book, Mrs. Young made a sum-
mary.
Plans for the annual bazaar,
Nov. 16 and the packing of the
bale were discussed. For a number of years the Lucan Public School has operated a
safety patrol. Principal Robert Jenkins reports a patrol has
proven satisfactory and beneficial in the past. The 1963-64 patrol,
now on duty, includes: front row, from left, Mike Lippert and
Harold Herbert; second row, Marlene Butler, Nancy Weller,
William Haskett and Norma Davis (sergeant); third row, Leslie
Carling, Art Wilkinson, Gary drudge (captain) and Maureen Smith.

us. The above doggerel repre-
sents two of the attitudes about
hunting season which prevail.
They might be labelled the Ap-
prehensive and the Disapprov-
ing.
There are others, FOr ex-
ample;
Why can't we hunters shoot
from cars
And blast away on Sundays?
Each silly regulation mars
Our simple, joyous fun days.
This might be called the view-
point of that small group of mal-
formed individuals who give the
rest of us the creeps, They
enjoy killing for its own sake.
They will shoot 20 ducks when
the bag limit is eight. They will
shoot an owl or a turtle or a
cat, if nothing else is moving.
I find myself uneasy in their
company. They could be termed
The Killers. They are not hunt-
ers.
Quite opposed to these queer
ones is another segment of our
population. I came across a
typical group of this species
last Saturday when I dropped in
at the pub for an ale. There
they were, he-men all, in their
red caps, red jackets and red
faces, on about their eighth
round of beers. After another
couple of rounds, they would
be ready to fan out into the
woods, and it would be every
man for himself.
This type, and it is legion,
seldom kills anything more dan-
gerous than a crock or an old
buddy. Just for the sake of
euphony, let's call them The
Swillers. Their credo might
go thus:
If you change jobs, follow carefully the instructions
on the back of the Certificate of Payment, Form 104,
which your group is required to give you.

Authorities Branch of Ontario
Department Of Lands and For-

The panel discussed the aims
of the Ausable Conservation,
how it is operated, the location
of the 26 municipalities belong-
ing to the conservation, the
names of local projects, how
carried out, reforestation and
publicity by means of tours
and films, and speakers sent out
to local meetings, upon request.
A lively question and answer
period followed the panel on,
how to prevent pollution, what
part the government plays, what
is meant by a scheme, re-
forestation, who pays the taxes,
how the authority is financed
and when the Parkhill Dam
will be completed.
Slides of local interest and
a movie entitled "Conservation
and Balance in Nature" were
shown.
The purpose of the whole
meeting was to increase public
awareness of the work and aims
of the Ausable Authority and to
give all present the opportunity
to ask questions, on anything
they did not understand.
Through the courtesy of the
authority some of the arena
ladies served refreshments at.
the close of the meeting.
PURCHASES HORSE
Clarence Young of Lucan was
one of the 1,000 or over who

including $2,000 worth of equip-
ment. Mr. Young purchased a
three-year-old filly named,
Miss Danny Direct, for $2,700.

stroyed the two-storey brick

RR 1 Denfield Saturday. The
family of five lost most of their
belongings in the fire.

adjoinging buildings including

ton was presented with a small
gift of appreciation.

Saturday was registration day
for the Lucan-Ilderton House
league sponsored by the re-
spective Lions Clubs, In so far
as the Lucan half of the league
is concerned, registration was
very poor indeed. If there are
any boys who wish to play
hockey each Saturday on a re-
gular basis, would they please
attend at Lucan Arena next
Saturday at 10 am. At this
time those who are not regis-
tered will be able to do so. It
is up to the boys concerned to
turn out and make this league
a success.
A very informative night was
enjoyed by all those in attend-
ance at the Ausable River Con-
servation Authority's Conser-
vation Night held at the arena
on Tuesday, Oct. 29. Judging
by the questions that were ask-
ed of the panel, the interest
was very high.
On Wednesday night, Oct 30
The Lucan Lions Club held
their 15th anniversary cele-
bration in the Community Hall.
Many distinguished persons
were in attendance and at the
risk of omitting someone's
name, it will suffice to say
that these people were seated
at the head table.

I will be leaving Lucan on No-

with the people of Lucan and

pleasant one and I have made

AFTERNOON UNIT MEETING
The UCW afternoon unit
meeting was held in the church
schoolroom last Thursday with
Mrs. J. W. Lockyer in the chair.
Mrs. George Paul was in charge
of the worship service and Bible
study, the latter being a con-
tinuation of the chapter on sal-
vation from, "The Word and
the Way", Mrs. T. A. Watson

offered to be responsible for
the flowers on Sunday.

contribute to the various tables
at the Fail Bazaar to be held
Nov. 16, as well as the layette
for the bale to be packed in
November. It was suggested the
afternoon unit contact the other
units as to the possibility of a
joint pot luck December meet-
ing.
Owing to the resignation of
program convener, Mrs. Geo-
rge Paul, it was suggested the
leader and secretary, draft out
a program for next year.
Mrs. Wes Revington, social
function convener, was assisted
by Mrs. Russell Thompson, with
refreshments.
SUPPER IS A SUCCESS
The kitchen of Holy Trinity
Anglican Church was the busiest
place in the village last Wed-
nesday as members of the La-
dies Guild prepared for and fed
over 700 people.
The dinner scheduled for 5
to 8 p.m. began right at 5 pm
and as people began arriving
at 4:15 all could not sit down
at the first sitting.
A combination of an ideal
night and a good reputation,
probably accounted for the big
crowd. Many former members
returned and a number of Lon-
doners look forward each year
for the Anglican turkey supper
and apparently told their friends
which accounted for so many
strangers. Also a few passers-
by just dropped in.
The project was a tremendous
amount of work but no doubt
