Times-Advocate, January 13, 1966 Two children injured SUGAR AND SPICE Dispensed by Smiley Liman as car strikes stump The sturdy ones Lucan council plans for floodlights at ball park children to St. Joseph's Hospital. Mrs. Hodgins received a broken nose and cheek-bone and Bobby a broken jaw but Donna escaped with a cut leg. Mrs, Hodgins is the f or mer Betty Allison of Exeter. Mrs, Olive Schaeffer, 48 of Sebringville was also badly in- jured when her car struck a tree a half mile south of Elginfield. She also was taken to St, Joseph's Hospital, MrS, Stewart McCallum, 28 and her four-year-old son Wayne, of Lewis St., Lucan, demolished her car at the same spot as Mrs. Schaeffer but she and her son es- caped injury. Mrs. William. Hodgins,, 32, of George St., one of Lucan's drivers was one of four involved in car accidents on No, 4 highway between. Lucan and Birr last Wednesday, Although the road was void of snow, heavy frost made driving dangerous. Mrs. Hodgins' car went out of control and hit a stump about a half mile north of Elginfield. The older children were in school but Bobby, 4, and Donna, 3, were with their mother. Mr. Hodgins of the Lucan OPP was on his way to one of the other accidents and arrived at the scene just after Constable D. B. Cox, Not waiting for an ambulance, he rushed his wife and Murray, James McComb, Ken Carter and Hugh Dietrich; board of health, Dr. E. R.

By un- desirables, I mean people with more money than I, They leave our northern community for Florida, Mexico, the West Indies, In one fell swoop we get rid of all the softies, the cowards, the sybarites. In short, the rich white trash. It's as much a part of our heritage as the Saturday night bath, or spring cleaning. And I think it's a good thing. When the last barber or brick- layer has bragged about being off to the Bahamas, when the last druggist or doctor has in- formed me pompously that "We will probably take in Acapulco this year”, I feel a sense of relief. The rats have left the freez- ing ship, and there's only the hard core, the sturdy pioneer types, the rugged individualist and the poor people, left in the temperate (hah!) zone. The Lucan council, at its in- augural meeting last Monday set as one of its 1966 goals, the installation of flood lights at the baseball park, at the rear of the Community Centre. It is hoped to have the instal- lation completed for use this summer rather than wait for cen- tennial year, so work will start as soon as approval is received from the Ontario Municipal. Board. Reeve Russell Bowman re- viewed the sewage disposal pro- gram. He said he hoped the second of the three phases would be started in 1966. The first phase should be completed this Spring, By RAY DOBROSKI 111111111111111111111!111111111111111,11„111111,1111 1111111111111 giving sewer connections to 135 homes. The second phase to other homes will be carried out as funds become available. Ratepayers can pay installation costs in a lump cash sum or spread over a period of 30 years. Rev. E. 0, Lancaster p ro- nounced an invocation as a formal note for the inaugural meeting. The following appointments were made by the council: sewer committee, H. B. Langford, Mrs. A. E. Reilly; street committee, Jack Lankin, Steve Storey; drain committee, H. B. Langford, Mrs. A. E. Reilly; community centre board, H. B. Langford, Mrs. A. E.

They totter out into the muggy heat. It's not like that around here. My daughter wakes me at sig- thirty and I call a cheery good- morning, It may sound a bit more like ''HUMPH" but it's well meant. MY life's partner shoves me out with her foot ten minutes after, Down to a jolly breakfast: vi- tamin pills, cuppa tea and half- slice of toast. There's the thrill of v a r le t y as you prepare for the day, When dawn comes, will the sun be shining, the snow falling, or a blizzard howling? Out into the wild white yonder, Grab the shovel and make the snow fly, chuckling heartily all the while as you think of those poor slobs in the south, with nothing to do every day but the same old things. The clean, fresh, northern air hits your lungs like a dum-dum bullet. Bark seal-like greeting to neighbour, whose head is just visible over his snowbank. Off to the garage. Excitement of wondering whether the car will start. The sheer, demonic joy of belting out the driveway backwards and trying to smash through the bank the snowplow has thrown up. Sometimes you make it. The skidding, slithering adven- ture of the drive to work. Wheels spinning, visibility twelve feet, every man for himself. The goodfellowship and vivac- ity of the teachers' cloakroom, everyone stamping, cursing and running at the nose. And another day of glorious winter living has begun. Don't try to tell me about the seduc- tion of the languorous southland. Just give me the crisp, virile challenge of living where men are men. And you can tell them from women. When you get them thawed out. The rest of us, the best of us, can get down to the real glory of winter living, without stum- bling over a lot of sissies who are better off down there get- ting sand in their navels. As one of the old true-blue breed, fighting it out with the elements, I am Inclined to scorn them. As a humanitarian, I can only pity them. Think of what they're missing! What is there in the soft and sensuous south to equal that crunch of toes breaking off, that crack of bursitis in the shoulder when you throw the first curling stone, that snap of thigh bones on the ski hill? Let's take a look at a couple of these hot-weather hounds. Look at this bird in Florida. Gets out of bed and there's that same old crumby, monotonous sun blazing down, just like all the other days. Same old routine. The inevitable orange juice on the inevitable patio; the inevit- able trip to the beach with the inevitable obscenely fat softies lying all around. Or the inevit- able sweating it out on the golf course with a lot of other middle- aged liars. And here's our pal in Mexico, just getting up at 10:30. He hasn't paid last year's income tax yet, but he borrowed $1,500 from the bank to make the trip. He has a hangover from those six-ounce, forty-cent Mexican drinks, and a twisted back from trying to tango. His wife, in the other twin bed, looks like an inmate of Bel- sous injury. Mr. Royden Herbert of Water St., took the injured to Dr. C. H. George's office, but it wasn't until next morning, Miss Keogh and. her niece were taken to St. Joseph's Hospital for Xrays. Debbie was sufficiently re- covered to fly home to Ottawa on Wednesday, Jan. 4 but Miss Keogh, who is an employee of the Army Headquarters, in Lon- don, will be off work for some time. Al ice Street. again open Alice St. residents were bless- ed in that the snowless mild weather continued, until Thurs- day night, permitting the instal- lation of sewers from Beech St. to Main St. Barricades are still over two man-holes but street barricades were removed Thurs- day. For a few days, pedestrians had to do some maneuvering to get up town and the mud was ter- rible but compared with other streets Alice St. residents were fortunate. About 9:30 p.m. New Year's Eve, Miss Winnifred Keogh, of Albert St., Lucan and her 13- year-old niece, Debbie Definney of Ottawa who, with her mother, Mrs. Jim Definney was spending the holiday in Lucan, were driv- ing north west on Main St., near the Nuway Motors, when they saw a car wavering along the street towards them. Miss Keogh only had time to apply the brakes when the crash came. How they escaped death is a miracle for the car was com- pletely demolished. Debbie's head went through the windshield necessitating many stitches. Miss Keogh, escaped with a cut knee, a chipped bone in her right elbow, bruises and a bad shake- up. The driver of the other car, The guest speaker was the Rev. Andrew Brynja, secretary of the Canadian Bible Society, London. Before beginning his address he congratulated the village of Lucan on the increase in donations to the Bible Society in 1959, $27; 1960, $50; 1961, $35; 1962, $115; 1963, $300; 1964, $400 and 1965, $600. The Lucan Ministerial will give the offering from the three ser- vices $39.54 to the Bible Society. Mr. Paul Graham led in the music and sang a solo and a duet with the pianist, Mrs. John Armi- tage: Once again members of Lu- can's three churches united for the 1966 Week of Prayer ser- vices.
