The Lucan Bantams were just too much for the Huron boys as they skated to a 6-1 victory. T. Hodgins got the hat trick, D. Revington added two and J. Nagle completed the scoring. The midget encounter was quite rough as both teams played the man. Huron emerged the victors with a 2-1 score. COMBINES DEFEAT pETROLIA Lucan-Ilderton Combines took over first place in the Ontario Hockey Association Intermediate "B" League as a result of their successful home opener against the Petrolia Royals.

P. Corbett, LuCan's repre- sentative to the Ausable River Conservation Authority, was the guest speaker at the dinner meet- ing of the Lucan Lions in the Anglican Church basement, last Monday evening. Mr. Corbett gave a progress rapott of much which has been accomplished by the authority during the past eight years. Following his address and re- port of vandalism at the Lucan Park, the Lions Club said they Would continue offering a reward There's a war in progress right now that will produce more casualties than the two great world wars, It makes the current cold war look like a Sunday School picnic. It is being fought in the home, in the schools, and in the streets, in every country in the world. The war I'm talking about is the war between youth and age. There has been no declaration of war, no single incident which has provoked hostilities. But the fighting has begun, and its going to be a long, cruel destructive one before it ends, a war like no other the human race has seen. The tragic thing is that it is not based on hate, but on some- thing closer to love, a complete lack of understanding with a wist- ful desire for it, on both sides. It is not international or inter- racial war, but civil war, which makes it doubly frightening. In the front lines are not the children and the elderly. Thank goodness for that. No. The op- posing forces are the young ad- ults, from about 15 to 25, on one side, and the no-longer-youthful adults, from 35 to 55 on the other. What, you may ask, about those between, from 25 to 35? They don't even know the war is on. Busy producing and raising kids, they are blissfully unaware that they are producing reinforce- ments for the enemy they must face soon. The war was inevitable. For 5,000 years, the majors managed to keep the minors under their thumbs. Through a combination of guile, economic pressure and sheer numbers (infant mortality was high), the elders kept the young in check. They convinced them that age and wisdom were synonymous. They assured them that older Harry Strasser Harry Strasser, 103, passed away Oct. 28 following a cataract operation, in Sturgis, Sask. Mr. Strasser, who had enjoyed won- derful health, celebrated his 100th birthday in Sept. 1962. He was a tailor by trade. He had three children, his daughter Mrs. Sam Wilson with whom he lived, Mrs. Gordon Rupple of India and the late George Strasser whose funeral took place Saturday in Lucan, men made better politicians, preachers, and generals. They kept the young from multiplying by feeding them cheerfully into the furnaces of whatever war was in progress at the time. While the old boys stayed home and looked after the store. They refused to retire and let the young move up. They urged security rather than seeking. They preached compromise rather than courage. They tried to smother every flame of Ideal- ism with the cold water of what they called "reality." Oh, the odd one broke through the blanket. Alexander the Great and William Pitt the younger, and Napoleon. But most of them died young. And now, sad to relate, Dad, you and I are reaping the bitter rice. Young people think exactly what I thought when I was a young person: that every living soul over 40 is inevitably opposed to anything that is fun, fright- ening or fattening. Five thousand years of grow- ing resentment is bursting forth in all directions. Thanks to med- ical advances, they now outnum- ber us. Thanks to economic pros- perity, they live better than we ever did. Thanks to the cowardly and conformist world we created for them, they despise us. The hour is come, for them. And you can't blame them much. We are against sex and li- quor for minors, but think they're dandy for majors. We're against smoking, and puff our way straight into the oxygen tent. We tell them to be honest, and cheat on our income tax. We tell them to practise Christian charity, and rip our neighbors up the back. We urge them to be mature, and we bicker and squabble in front of them, over trifles. We tell them they have no initiative, and refuse to let them do anything that is not safe, sensible and san- itary. We throw up our hands in horror at their likes in dress and in music, at their popular heroes, at their natural desires. When they are polite, we grow pom- pous. When they are insolent, we grow furious. yep, the war is on. Don't worry. I'm not a traitor. I'll stick with the majors, I've always been a sucker for lost causes. And I have never yet left a sinking sliip. ••••••••••Nommorm.•n ••••rowiriiiliminnsi closest 4-H Achievement Day are Jan. 16 at Medway High School and Jan. 22 and 29 at Strathroy. This year it was again decided to do sewing for the War Memorial Hospital in lieu of a money dona- tion. A number of articles were given out to be sewn. The plaque, to commemorate the Wilberforce Colony and the first Negro school, was again discussed. It was decided to wait till Spring to choose a suitable site to have it placed, and then to consult with a representative from both the village and town ship councils. Mrs. Robb volunteered to keep a record of accidents in this lo- cality to be sent to the Farm and Home Safety Program. It was decideu to hold a series of progressive euchres again this year, as a money-making project to begin in January. A ten- tative date of Jan 12 was named for the first euchre. $2 was voted for a bursary fund. The meeting was turned over to Mrs. Sheridan Revington, conve- ner for home economics and health, who first commented on the motto, "House-clean your heart as well as your house". This was followed by an inter- esting film entitled, "Song of the Salad" which pictured most ap- petizing salads and described how they were made. At the close of her interesting program Mrs. Revington conduc- ted a short contest of naming all the vegetables each one knew. Mrs. Murray Hodgins had the longest list and won the prize. Mrs. Hodgins gave a splendid report on the recent 51st Area Convention held in the Victorian Inn, Stratford. Mrs. Revington, Mrs. Stewart Park, and Mrs. Erle Young made up the lunch committee.
