Mrs. J. W. Smith and her mother Mrs. P. 0. King of Lucan held a large miscellan- eous shower. Classmates at Macdonald In- stitute of Guelph held two show- ers in her honer at the school.

The groom's mother, Mrs. George Maynard of Innerkip entertained the rehearsal party May 14 at the home of her sister, Miss Anna Armstrong of London. Is everything cut-and-dried, black-and-white, for you? Or do you sometimes wonder? I do. Here are some of the things I wonder about. Maybe you can supply the answers. What is it about spring that turns normally tolerant, sweet- faced, mild-eyed women into tail-twitching, yellow-eyed tigers who prowl the premises in a perpetual rage, snarling, "Lift that barge, tote that bail, wash those windows, paint that trim?" Second question. Why are normally devil-may-care, lion- hearted chaps, who would mix it up with an adult male gorilla if they didn't like the look on the ape's face, frightened white, at this time of year, by these 110- pound tigers? How do you tell a nice mother, wearing rose-colored glasses, that her son, whom she insists is going to be a brilliant sur- geon, will be lucky if he catches a job at the supermarket meat counter? Why does the sun beat down unmercifully when I wear a raincoat while trout fishing? And why, when I don't take a raincoat, and the inevitable cloudburst comes, am I always a mile and a half down the stream from my car? What kind of nuts is the world producing these days? First example. The other night there was a teenage rumble near here. Pplice and firemen broke it up. One kid was handcuffed and stuffed in the police car. The cops jumped out to aid fellow officers. The kid lumped out the other side, presumably to aid himself. Four days later, he turned himself in, still hand- cuffed. What did he do during those four days? I mean, did he ever try to .. . uh . well, you get the idea? Second example. Maybe you read this in the paper. Fellow named George Wilson was ar- rested. Why? Because he had just thrown Harold Wilson (no relation) through a plate-glass window. As Harold lay there in his own blood, he protested vigorously the arrest of George. "Hey! You can't do that! He's my buddy." Figure that one out. What, short of going up and strangling the lot, can I do about the black squirrels who hold bowling matches, foot races, country-style hoedowns, and hootenannies in my attic, in the dead of night, every night? Why are 14-year-old daugh- ters so dreadful? They are sul- len, sulky, stubborn, slouchy, grouchy, pouty, resentful. They fight with their mothers. They wreck the third pair of nylons in three days. They weep wildly at the slightest admonition. Why are 14-year-old daugh- ters so wonderful? (This is the next day.) They are sunshine, not showers. They are helpful, CGIT donates $15 to mission The CGIT meeting last Tues- day evening began with an out- door game led by Sherry Fisher. Fifteen dollars was voted for dedication to missions, repre- senting the offering received during mission studies. This sum will be handed in during the Flower Sunday Service, June 13. The worship service was led by Lori Crudge. The leader began the study on prayer, entitled "Our Fath- er" after which the group was led by Mrs. Hodgins and Louise Cochrane in a discussion.

M. & Mrs. Jack Atkinson and Ruth Ann, Mrs. Rose At- kinson and Mr. & Mrs. Maurice Morgan, were Sunday guests of Mr. & Mrs. Wesley Morgan of Hamilton. The Lucan Fire Department was called to abarnfire, Satur- day evening around 6:30, on the farm of Peter Milne, who lives on the farm formerly owned by the late Walter Hodgins, Cour- sey Rd. The cause of the fire which began in the corner of a high beam, is unknown, as the build- ing is not equipped with hydro and children couldn't possibly reach the spot. The only sug- gested solution is, there may have been a bird's nest in the corner and a bird carried a lighted cigarette to the nest. Mr. and Mrs. Milne have eight boys and one girl, rang- ing in ages from 11 toone year. Chris, Leo and Jimmie 5,6,7, were playing outside when they noticed the fire. Fortunately Mr. Milne was home and, with the assistance of a hose, had the fire under control when the fire truck arrived. Bird races going again A crowd estimated at between 4,000 and 5,000 persons watched the gigantic fireworks display sponsored Monday night by the Lucan Legion and Lions. The two service clubs receiv- ed support from practically all other organizations in the Irish community as well.

Clare Stanley was master of ceremonies for the program, which included entertainment by a musical group of five area youths called "The Casuals".

Watson in the chair. Speaking on "Resolutions" Mrs. Harvey Wales of Komoka, past district president, was the guest speaker. She was intro- duced by Mrs. Murray Hodgins and later thanked by Mrs. Har- old Hodgins. Mrs. Wales stressed the im- portance of having resolutions properly worded and signed and of using a uniform size of paper. She reported on several resolutions she had received which led up to the roll call when each member voiced her "pet beef". The motto for the meeting was "A wise mind groweth like a savings account. Put a little in it every day". Mrs. Cecil Robb, convener for historical research and cur- rent events; spoke briefly on the latter. It was announced Achieve- ment Day at Arva was July 6-7 and at Strathroy July 8-9. Mrs. J. W. Smith, Mrs. Ron Crozier, Mrs. Sheridan Reving- ton and Mrs. T. A.

It has become almost standard practice today for people to go to their bank to finance the purchase of cars and other family items. You, too, may have found it a good idea to borrow where you save — at your local bank. It is often simpler, because the bank already knows you as a savings customer. And it also may save you money because bank loans are low-cost loans. For borrowing and saving, and for any other bank service you may need, just visit your local chartered bank. It's the one place where you can get all your banking done, under one roof. Ja tob Reimer stands in thi,k Amu oh of weeds next to dedn, Atrazine-treated field. 10Atrazine keeps the corn clean saves precious labour says Jacob Reimer, Pt. Rowan "Atrazine has given us excellent weed control on out 140 acres of corn. We combined a bumper crop, averaging 135-140 bus. to'the acre", Mr. Reimer reports. "We applied Atrazine when the corn was 4" to 5" high, because we like to hit the weeds that are already up. The trouble is the weeds come up so fast. We thought we were in for trouble. But Atrazine knocked them out in short order." "1 used to go through the corn two or three times with the cultivator, but my time is too precious putting on Nitrogen, to have to worry about cultivating— especially when Atrazine does the job better." "Although 1 plant tomatoes on some fields, follow- ing corn, by working up the soil well, I have never had any trouble with residues." -I certainly wouldn't want to go back to growing corn without Atratine." Use the one herbicide that keeps corn clean through to harvest. Ask your dealer for descriptive literature and don't forget to get your sprayer ready on time.
