Companies come to them also for market and credit reports, assistance in handling payments, payrolls, collections, foreign exchange, letters of credit — whatever ban king help they may need to keep men at work, goods flowing to market in Canada or abroad.

AND MRS. HAROLD COURSEY The Lucan Shamrock appears as if it will be a busy little issue the next time it appears on Octo- ber 28. The businessmen's association decided to use it to kick off their first community-wide promotion, The Lucan Witches' Brew and also insert a business telephone directory in the paper. The Times-Advocate agreed to insert the handy card, similar to those the businessmen had printed some years ago. This way the businessmen could be assured of getting a card into every home in the district. The T-A also announced it would use the next issue of The Shamrock to announce a circula- tion campaign for the Lucan dis- trict. Details have not been finalized but it will involve a concentrated campaign with about 15 winners of the contest receiving two-day bus excursion to Niagara Falls and Toronto at the expense of faithful members of Holy Trinity Anglican Church, Lucan.

Two mothers, Mrs. Gerald Lewis and Mrs. Clarence Haskett made the presentation of the gold WA pin and the framed plaque, while Billy Henderson, a son of the SS superintendent, Mrs. Dwight Henderson, on behalf of the children, presented Miss Ab- bott with a large container filled with artificial flowers. The rector commented on Miss Abbott's contribution to the church since retiring from Perth Ave. School, Toronto, in 1950. For. two years she taught the girls' Bible Class but felt she could make a better contribution by organizing a Jr. Congregation CCHIIRCH NOTiSri Catholic St. Patrick's CWL meeting was held in the old school, last Mon- day evening, with Mrs. Joe Nagle in the chair and 14 members pre- sent.

September being the public re- lations meeting, Mrs. Alex Young as convener, took over. She first commented on the motto, "Don't regret becoming a grandmother, with it, comes your second wind". Before the meeting Mrs. Young had contacted all grandmothers and requested them to come pre- pared to tell from which country their grandparents came, some early recollections and to bring something belonging to them.

I have .the deepest admiration for those men who make a big fuss over their annual wedding anniversary. My wife and I had another anniversary this week, and, as usual, neither of us re- membered it until three days after it was past, too late to celebrate. The reason I admire the anni- versary addicts is the sheer boldness of their tactics. Usually, they are about the rottenest hus- bands in town, on a day-to-day basis. But with one florid, ex- travagant gesture, they wipe out all their sins of the last 12 months and lay the groundwork for another year of getting away with murder. Few of these birds are the gentle, meek, timid, humble, hen- pecked husbands this era has spawned, like you and me. Not they. Among their ranks you find the deer hunters, the fishermen, the hard drinkers, the poker players, the philanderers. And yet, with a combination of utter effrontery and incredible craftiness, they carry it off every year. A big bash of candy, a flourish of flowers, dinner and a night on the town; and the old lady falls for it every time. This is the part I can't under- Lucan, Mrs. C. A. Calder and Mrs. Ada Jennings of London, Mrs. Cora Atkinson of Lansing, Mich., and Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Simpson of Clandeboye. The T-A. The businessmen's promotion, Tile Witches' Brew, will involve coupons given to the public with a draw for several prizes put up by the businessmen. The associa- tion has located a giant witches' kettle which will be prominently displayed filled with a prize from every store. The first and second prize winners will be given their pick of the pot. The third prize win- ner (or is he or she really. the first prize winner) will get to take all the rest. Jim Davis heads a committee to compile a business telephone directory. However the list will be restricted to paid up mem- bers of the association. Any in- terested in having their name added to the list is urged to contact Jim or the association's secretary, Miss Muriel Carling. President Mike Bobor sent word he had to resign due to changes in the hours of the hotel. stand. Women, especially women who have been married for a few years, are not notoriously soft- headed. And yet these women, who know perfectly well that the old man is a two-timing heel, an incipient lush, or a big-mouthed bum, go all weak at the knees when Joe waltzes in on their anniversary with a potted plant. I'm not making this up. Let's take my pal Charlie as an ex- ample. He's real. I'll change nothing but the names. Charlie wouldn't be caught dead taking his wife to church or the movies, during the year. He takes his holidays in the fall, when the boys are going deer-h u n t i n g. Mabel stays home. It gives her a good chance to rake the leaves and get the storm windows on. When Charlie finishes a day's work, he has a couple or six quick ones with the boys, grunts at Mabel a few times during dinner, grabs his curling broom or golf clubs, and heads out the door. Charlie's idea of a pleasant social evening for Mabel is to send her over to visit her sister while he has the poker gang in. After, of course, she has made a huge lunch for the boys. Charlie has a lot of trouble with Mabel's extravagance. Heck, he gives her thirty dollars a week to run the house and feed and clothe the kids and herself, and she just runs right through it, as though the stuff grew on trees. Sometimes she hasn't even vice-president Steve Storey was asked to move up and George Young was unanimously voted the new vice-president. The association put consider- able discussion to industrial pro- motion. Commented the new pre- sident, "If we do want industry we will have to do some of the spade work." One or two members men- tioned there had been inquiries by industry but that they had been directed to private indivi- duals rather than to council or a committee of council. It was also remarked that Lu- can is not listed with the provin- cial Department of Economics as having water or sewage. The association decided to have a dinner meeting in October with a guest speaker on industrial promotion from the province. Next regular meeting will be the third Thursday in October, Oct. 21. Joint CGIT elect new officers The opening fall meeting of the Lucan-Clandeboye CGIT was held in the United Church schoolroom last Tuesday evening with the president, Marilyn Hearn, in the chair. Following the opening the leader, Mrs. Murray liodgins, Presided for the election of offi- cers, Past president is Marilyn Hearn; president, Nancy Park; vice president, Heather Froats; secretary, Marline Butler; trea- surer, Roberta Cochrane; re- corder, Daisy Cobleigh; pianist, Marilyn Hearn. Mrs. Charles Sovereign, UCW president, installed the new offi- cers. It was reported the recent bake sale netted the group $21.65. It was voted to take part in a tie project to send good used ties to the port workers at Halifax and Montreal, The date of the Kick-Off Camp Rally for leaders and girls will be Friday, Sept. 24, at Calvary United Church, leaving the Lucan Church at 6 pm. Four Explorers graduated into CGIT. Chief counsellor Mrs. Wil- liam Froats and the new CGIT leader were in charge of the graduation ceremony. Thirteen girls won friendship badges for having completed their mission study. These were pre- , sented by Mrs. 1-lodgins as well as Maple Leaf Badges to the new president and secretary. The worship service was taken by Wendy Cronkite and Nancy Park. As many of the girls had attended different camps during the summer, the meeting closed with the singing of a camp song from each camp. enough left on Saturday to buy his weekend case of beer. He had me close to tears as he told me about the folly of letting women handle the money. With golf and curling fees up this year, and a new rifle to buy for the hunting trip, he figur- ed he might just hafta cut down on the house allowance, if they were going to make ends meet. Now Charlie, while a pleasant enough fellow to the world, and a real swinger with the boys, as a husband and father is not only a rat but also a fink. And Mabel, who is no dope, knows it. But you should have seen her the other night, when she dropped in to pay my wife back the five bucks she's borrowed recently. Her eyes were shining and her poor, harassed face was all lit up, as she told us about the wonderful thrill of their anni- versary celebration. Charlie had come straight home after work, without drinks and with roses, hustled her into her glad rags and taken her out to the golf club for dinner. She'd had to come home with some friends, because Charlie had wandered into the locker room and got involved in a poker game. But she just couldn't express her appreciation of his thoughtfulness and kindness in remembering their anniversary. My wife's comment, later: "I'd cut his throat." Let's combine our efforts to prevent forest fire. Honored by League of Loyalty Miss Lina Abbott was taken by surprise at the Sunday morning service in Holy Trinity Church when she was presented with a life membership in the Woman's Auxiliary by the League of Loyalty which she organized 13 years ago. She has had complete charge since it began and has done a wonderful work with them. From left to right are Mrs. Clarence Haskett, Rev. E. 0. Lancaster, Miss Abbott and Mrs. Gerald Lewis who with Mrs. Haskett presented the gold WA pin and framed plaque. Surprise presentation honors church worker Correspondent; Miss Lina Abbott September 15, 1915 a quiet wedding was solemnized in Holy Trinity Church, Lucan, when the late Rev. Wm. Lowe united in marriage, Annie Mayo, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Edward Mayo of Lucan and Harold Cour- sey, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Coursey of RR 1 Lucan, (the Coursey Road). Last Wednesday the couple's two daughters, Margaret (Mrs. Bert Zurbrigg) and Jean (Mrs. Leonard Poole) and their six children of London staged an afternoon and evening 00th wed- ding anniversary open house, at their parent's farm home, which has been in the CoUrsey family for three generations.
