Every part you can see (and every part you can't see) has been changed again and again and again. As a matter Of fact, there are only six parts left from the original VW, But we never change the Volkswagen without a reason. And the only reason is 16 make it even better, When WO do make a change, we try to make the new part fit older Models,. And made the tail lights bigger so other people could see you better. But nothing drastic, Any Volkswagen hood still fits tiny VW ever made. So does any fender. And, in Cate you hadn't noticed, every VW still looks like every other VW. Which may turn out to be the nicest thing of all about the car. It doesn't go in one year and out the other, too, So you'll find that many VW pdrtt are interchangeable from one year to the next. Which is why it's actually ea s ier to get parts for a VW than for many tiO, 'resat Cats, And why VW service it as gbod as it it, The same principle holds good for the beetle shape, We Made the rear window bigger One year so you could see other people better, This we change. vaP This we don't.

BY LINA ABBOTT One week ago today as I was mailing my news, the Lucan volunteer firemen were losing a fighting battle to save the farm home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bowerman, on the Roman Line, ' some five miles north-east of Lucan. Today, just one week later, the family is installed in a new Well-furnished home. It must all feel to the family, like a horrible nightmare, with a heavenly awakening. In the house at the time of the fire were Mrs, Bowerman, Ar- thur (14, home sick with a cold), Ila eight months, Karen two, Elizabeth three and one-half and Lillian five. Mr. Bowerman, a carpenter who has been un- BY J_ E. TAW 4storclaY night past we had another reeerd crowd to our regular dance *Teat the arena.

We are holding our pee wee tournament here on Sat, March 14, so there will be NO public skating that night. We do hope to have a good turn out to watch the boys though, The St. Willards Skating Club held a skating party here at the arena Sun, night March 1. At the Founders' Day meeting of the ',Pearl Home and 3chPPI Association, held In the kinder- gartea room last WetineSclaY night, the president, Mrs, Ja- mes Freeman, spoke briefly on the history of the Association and its aims. The guest speaker was Frank Michie, principal of the Watford High. School, who gave an il- lastrated address on “Cystic Fibrosis". Ap Lucan has one C/F patient, the address was of particular interest to the good attendance of members and their friends, Mr. Michie was introduced by Mrs. George Paul and thanked by Mrs. Charles Skolly. The attendance cup went to Mrs. Ross McRobert's room (at present in charge of Mrs. Ivan Hearn). An invitation was read from the H & S Association of Prince Andrew's school, to attend their next meeting, Tues., March 3, plans for the Fashion Show, scheduled for March 18, in the Lucan Community Memorial Centre, were finalized. The fa- shions will be shown by Irwin's Dress Shop, Exeter. Mrs. James Freeman as room mother, was assisted by Mrs. Richard Davis and Mrs. William Hodgins. In the absence of both helpers, Mrs. Freeman was assisted in the serving of refreshments by Mrs. J. W. Lockyer and Mrs. Char 1 e s Skelly. employed since before Christ- mas, was in Lyndon, looking for work. The other children, Jape, nine; Susan, 10, Wendy, 12; Herbert 13 and Lucinda 15 were all at school. The fire started upstairs, from overheated pipes leading from a woodstove in the living- room, between 2 and 3 p.m. Fortunately a phone had been installed recently, enabling Mrs. Bowerman to call the Lu- can fire department. She got the children outside but was unable to get prpper clothing for them. Her closest neigh- bours were away, but Lucan residents, who arrived follow- ing the fire engine, took charge of the children and took them to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Plan addition at RC school Have you watched teenagers dancing lately? If you ha.ven't, and you are old-faahioned, and year blood pressure is 'high, take my advice, Don't,. Saturday afternoon, threugh sheer inertia I found myself before a television! set showing one of those teen-age dance Pro grams, fortunatefy, ain neither old-fashioned nor high- blood-pressured (it says here). But I must confess, I was wish- ing I were 25 yearS younger, Today's kids dance dolefully, but sweetly, to the slow num, bers, heads knuckked together, bodies scarcely moving, intent, serious, tender yet strangely impersonai. But when the music begins to clang and thump, they come into their own. They laugh; they bob and bounce; they wiggle and jiggle and giggle. Their faces light up. Their feet weave and shift and trace peculiar pat- terns. They are very young and very much alive, and completely caught up in that most ancient means of communication— rhythm. Watching them, I was sad, It's a pretty bitter thing, after all, to have been too young for the Charleston, too o Id for the Twist. But I couldn't stay sad. Let- ting my mind drift back over the years, I actually began to feel sorry for the youngsters. "These kids," I thought dis- dainfully. "How many of them have mastered a step as I did? Sure, they can do the Cha-Cha and the Twist and the Bossa Nova. But is there a single one of them who can base a whole Euchre popular with area groups At the four-table euchre of the Medway Euchre Club, held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. Summers, on Monday, high score prizes went to Mrs. Aus- tin Hobbs and Wm, McComb; low score prizes to Mrs. Earl Middleton, and W. J. Stanley, and lone hand prizes to Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Lewis. The next game will be held at the home of Mr. and Mrs, Clar- ence Lewis on Monday evening, March 9. A two or three-room addition will be constructed at St. Pat- rick's Separate School, Bid- dulph, to accommodate RCSS No, 4 Biddulph and an increas- ing enrolment, it was announ- ced this week by Secretary J. Cahill, Mr. Cahill said the support- ers of St. Patrick's recently voted to form a union with RCSS 4. The union will become effective January 1, 1965, and will bring an additional 25 pu- pils into St. Patrick's school. The secretary said plans for the addition are being prepared now. It is expected that St. Pat- rick's school will become an eight-room ,operation in the near future. WI EUCHRE Lucan WI had 10 tables out last Wednesday night for their euchre.

Lucan Personals Put it in a juice shaker—shake it all you want and you can prove to yourself that every granule of SHUR-GAIN Selected- Granulated Fertilizer stays nutritionally balanced all the time. Pre-mixed before granulation, SHUR-GAIN Selected-Granu- lated consists of granules each of which contain all the guaran- teed plant food elements. The size and weight of the granules is kept within certain limits by careful screening. Separation of fertilizer ingredients cannot take place with SHUR-GAIN Fertilizer—during transportation, handling and spreading. With ordinary, blended or granular fertilizers smaller and heavier particles will settle to the bottom, while the larger and lighter particles come to the surface. Shaking SHUR-GAIN in a juice shaker is one way of proving its quality but a better way is to make sure you apply SHUR-GAIN Selected-Granulated Fertilizer on your crops this spring— your guarantee that every square inch covered will have exactly the analysis you want. .Huntet buvar Ltd., Main 'Street-- Telt .2354100 Mr. & Mrs. Allan Haig and two children of Toronto and Mr. & Mrs. Ronald McMaster and four children of Windsor were weekend guests of Mr. & Mrs. Fred Bowerman and brought the family contributions from Toronto and Windsor re- latives and friends.
