' Probably the biggest piece of pure Poppycock on otir Calendar is the Sunday in June designated as Father's Day. It is almost as silly as cele- brating the birthday of Queen Victoria (on the nearest Mon- day), or adppting that pretty, but uninspiring thing, the maple leaf, as our flag symbol. That's because, like queens' birthdays and flags, fathers are anachronisms, things that be- long to the dear, dead past of empires and gallantry andfam- ily solidarity. The empire has disappeared, the flag has become something to quibble about, and fathers have turned into cartoon char- acters. We have become Increasingly a mother-dominated society. But in trying to prove that Mom doesn't have clay feet, we have casually accepted the theory that father has a dough head, The word ',father" is never used any more, as a term of address. The only place it crops up is in sociological and psy- chological terms, such as "father image" or "father fig- ure." It's been a wild swing of the pendulum, and it is a sad and bitter thing, this degeneration from Father to Daddy, but I can't help pointing out that we have brought it upon ourselves, The Trojans opened the gates and dragged in that big, wooden horse. The Arab let the camel stick his nose into the tent, to keep warm. Father achieved the same end by relinquishing the purse-strings to that brave, little woman with a heart of gold and a will or iron—Mom. Next, he began to listen to a lot of third-rate tripe, mostly in the form of articles in wom- en's magazines. Thus, he fell prey to such clap-trap as "fam- ily togetherness", and "being a pal" to his children, and "talking things out" with his wife. Hold open house to see donations Wor. Bro. Art McLean of London, was MC at Irving Ma- sonic Lodge's open house, held here, last Saturday evening, in order that the members' wives might see, the altar cloth and cushion donated by Mrs. Karl O'Neil and Mrs. Cecil Carter in memory of their husbands and dedicated by Chaplain of South Huron Masonic District, the Rev. Lyall Crawford of Parkhill, on June 11. Many other donations, dedi- cated the past two years in he, nor of the Lodges' hundred year celebration were also on display. The speakers included, Rt. Wor. Bros. Murray Hodgin$ and Harold Corbett, Very Wor. Bro. Cliff Culbert and War. Bros. Emerson Hodgins, Alex Young, Bob Murray, Wm. me- Falls, Charles Corbett and Jack Murray.

Over and over again the PO staff patiently explained that truck delivery—East and West —had been cancelled. Many subscribers went back to the PO at night feeling sure the papers would come on the evening mail but still no papers. "Oh well everything will be back to nor- mal by the 11th," everyone de- •cided but again everyone was disappointed. It was a case of "You don't miss the water until the well goes dry!" For years Lucanites have been so accustomed to receiving The Times-Advocate promptly on Thursday that it is hard to have to wait until Fri- day. However they are still. hoping the Exeter editor can make some arrangement so Lucan can receive the paper Thursday as usual. Forty years as teacher Honored for long service FORMER MEMBERS STILL CELEBRATE For a number of years a group of former members of the Ebenezer Church, which once stood on eoncession 4 McGilliv- ray, has held an annual reunion. This year 13 members of the group met for dinner at the Dufferin House, Centralia, last Sunday, June 7, after which they held a happy get-together at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Morley of Brinsley for the afternoon and evening, Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Bantir.g of Lucan were among the group who attended this year's re- union. Why was I so honored! Some- one got the brain-wave that all superannuated teachers should be given some token of appre- ciation for long years of service in the teaching profession, so in spite of the fact I retired in 1950, I received my certificate last Tuesday-14 years late. Ladies list tasks husbands do well Mrs. Gordon Alse was hos- tess for the meeting of the Granton WI. Roll call was an- swered by "A household task my husband does well." The president, Mrs. Clarence Lewis, reported canvassers collected $92 for the cancer fund. Brenda Wallis entertained with an accordion solo. Slides of the Northwest Ter- ritories were shown by Mrs. George Wilson, FWIC public relations officer for the terri- tories. Mrs. C. L. McRoberts and Mrs. Frank Squire assisted the hostess with the refreshments. Persona! notes For the second consecutive year Lucan's correspondent for The Exeter T 1m e s-Advocate was a guest of honor at the annual spring banquet of the Women Teachers' Federation for Middlesex 1 and 2 and Ox- ford 3 and 4 last Tuesday. She writes: Last year I was most thrilled, as a superannuat- ed teacher, to receive an invita- tion and complimentary ticket and, at the close of the program, to be presented with one of the beautiful floral table decora- tions, but this year I was really honored. In the first place I was sent, not one but two tickets so my neighbor, Mrs. Harold Corbett was delighted to accom- pany me, On entering St. George's Ang- lican Church, Thorndale, I was presented with a beautiful cor- sage of pink and white carna- tions.

(The two other retired teachers were unable to be present.) The bishop, who has several teachers in his family and was himself once a teacher, gave an interesting and amusing ad- dress which included many per- sonal experiences. Three of Lucan's PS teach- ers, Mrs. Harold Cobleigh, Mrs. Ross McRoberts and Mrs. Martin Van Arenthals, were also present. Mrs. McRoberts had the honor of presenting Mrs. Foster with the presi- dent's pin and Mrs. Van Aren- thals, who is retiring as treas- urer, was presented with a vase.
