Lucan, cor- respondent for the London Free Press "Looking Over Western Ontario" pages for 30 years, died of a heart attack Sunday. He was well known for his articles on pioneer life and was an expert on log cabins and early life in the community. He died on the farm of his brother, W. W. Garrett, RR 2 Denfield. He had gone to the bush on the farm to dir young trees for transplanting. His brother went looking for him when he did not return to the house. Mr. Garrett was employed at National Drug Company Ltd., London. In addition to his brother he is survived by a niece, Mrs. Doreen McTaggart, and a.neph- ew, Jack Garrett, both of Lon- don Township. Funeral services were con- ducted by Rev. E. 0. Lancaster of Holy Trinity Church, Wed- nesday, May 20 at the Murdy funeral home, Lucan, with in- terment in Birr Anglican ceme- tery. W. J. Smith, Canadian Le- gion president, and Gary Mc- Falls, Lions Club president, were in charge of Lucan's third annual community fireworks display, back of the arena last Monday night. Sponsor s for this year's mammoth display, were the Lu- can Lions' Club, the L u c an Royal Canadian Legion and Auxiliary, the Arena Board and Arena Ladies' Committee, the Bowling Alley, the Lucan Busi- ness men and the IOOF Lodge. Clare Stanley was MC for the program. The Bounty Hun- ters provided splendid music, while a number of girls danced to the music. The musicians signed autographs during the fireworks. Mr. Stanley made an ideal MC with a continuous flow of comments, during the display. Apparently his voice carried right across the tracks. Tickets were sold on a boy or girl's bicycle. Art Bell made the draw. Wesley Stanley, RR 2 Denfield was the lucky winner. He took a girl's bicycle for his little sister.

It does him no good at all to wake up and find that the Cadillac has been transformed into a tractor, and he's heading straight for the stone fence. For years, I've had these dreams: riding in a ricksha. in Rangoon, tossing silver dollars to the natives; dropping in on Princess Margaret and Tony for a cocktail; flying to Rio for carnival time. But lately, they have solidified into one re- current dream which is more like an obsession. It comes al- most nightly at this time of year. In the dream, my wife says, "When are you going to get those storm windows off, have you any intention of cutting the lawn this year, what do you intend to do about that fence?" I just tell her to shut up. This is how I know it's a dream. Then I reach out nonchalantly, push the bell-button beside my chair. A man appears and asks respectfully, "Yes, sir?" I tell him, "John, get those storm windows off. And I don't mean tomorrow. The grass needs cutting, and do something about propping up the fence. Now, get cracking." He says, "Right away, sir." I lean back, light a dollar cigar, and splash a little more soda into my brandy. That's the dream in essence. There are variations on it, depending on seasons. Sometimes I tell John to shovel the walk, and I splash a little more brandy into my Friday, May 29 7 p.m. Smorgasbord Supper Free Bowling and Dancing garet Gorrie.

Most people do. It's something like taking One: yon're high, wide and dreamy while you're at it, but the let- down is jolting. The bored housewife, for ex- ample, crouched over her iron- ing hoard, envisions herself in bikini suit on a deck chair on a yacht in the Mediterranean, sipping a long, cold drink. Tan- ned and handsome, Count Serge Popoff takes her hand and, de- vouring her with his eyes, leans forward to kiss it. Just as she is thrilling right up to the shoulder from the cool, firm imprint of the count's lips on her mitt, she looks down and discovers that the cool, firm lips have suddenly become the cold, runny nose of her daugh- ter who is wiping it on the back of mummy's hand. Maybe the factory hand, busy all day putting square pegs in round holes, begins toying with what he'll be doing if his sweep- stake ticket comes through. In his mind's eye, he is lolling on his balcony in Acapulco's posh- est hotel, overlooking the swim- ming-pool, while a beautiful Spanish job with a rose in her hair whispers gentle stuff in his ear. It's a dangerous shock to his system when he suddenly re- alizes that the face so near his own is not the Spanish lovely, but the straw boss, and the ten- der murmurs have become a moose-like bellow that wants to know "what the helleryou gawping at?" Even the Canadian farmer, a solid fellow most of the time, has his weak moments. Like when he starts dreaming that he had a thousand head of cattle, Pentecostal Holiness The Rev. Glennard Quesen- berry of Montcalm, West Vir- g i n i a, conducted evangelistic services every night all week including the Sunday services. Anglican All was quiet in the Anglican Church this week other than preparation for the music fes- tival. Sunday the rector con- gratulated the junior choir, the organist, the leader and choir mothers for the choir's splen- did performance at the festival. Starting Mon., May 25 to Saturday, May 30 TROUSSEAU TEA Last Wednesday 94 friends and neighbors attended a trous- seau tea, given by Mrs. Aljoe Culbert in honor of her daugh- ter, Margaret Elizabeth, prior to her marriage on Saturday, May 16. The bride-elect, assisted by her mother, received the guests. Her sister, Doris, as- sisted by Tanny Van Arenthals had charge of the guest book. Another sister Anne, display- ed the wedding and shower gifts while Mrs. Jim Mugford and Mrs. Monnie Herr displayed the linens, dishes and trousseau.

Assisting in the kit- chen were Mrs. Harry Carroll and Mrs. Cliff Abbott. TICKETS ON SALE AT THE ALLEY TILL MAY 26 United Mrs. Cecil Robb convener of community friendship and visit- ation, was in charge of the wor- ship service of the UCW meet- ing in the church school-room last Thursday evening. She was assisted by Mrs. Ron Crozier, Mrs. H. B. Langford, Mrs. Wm. McFalls and Mrs. Sheri- dan Revington. Twenty-five members from the variou s units, and one visitor were present for this general meet- ing. The guest speakers were Mr. and Mrs. Robert Slane, a house "father and mother" at one of the six cottages of the Salvation Army Children's V illage in London, which was started in 1954. Each of the cottages con- tains 12 children. A film was shown of the Slane cottage and work there. A lengthy question and answer period followed.
