Writes book
One of the most popular books
to appear in the Lucan area in
some time is "Sure an' this is
Biddulph", written by Jennie
Raycraft Lewis as a centennial
project for the township.
History book
goes abroad
Clerk Austin Hodgins of the
Biddulph Council has been kept
extra busy filling orders for
"Sure An' This Biddulph", as
many people are sending the book
as a Christmas gift to former
Lucan and Biddulph relatives and
friends.
Recently Mrs. Don Downs,
formerly of Water St., Lucan,
ordered three copies, one of
which she sent to her sister
Mrs. Merrill Edwards (the form-
er Marion Coursey), who is now
spending a year in Birmingham
England, where Dr. Edwards, a
professor of the University of
New Brunswick, on Sabbatical
leave, is attending Birmingham
University.

During the evening the London

The guest speaker was Dr.
W, H. Wehlaw, of the observa-
tory staff of the University of
Western Ontario, who spoke on
the new observatory to be built
near Elginfield. Dr. Wehlaw out-
lined why this location had been
selected. It was necessary to find
a site near the city and yet re-
mote from smoke and light inter-
ference. He said it would take
two years to erect the telescope
so it will probably be 1969 before
the observatory will be corn-

Hi C
At 5:30 pm 64 young people sat

District horse
lives to be 32
Prince is dead. A 32-year-old
horse died last week on the farm
of Mr. Lorne Hodgins, RR 1
Lucan and a feeling of sadness
and loneliness fills the heart of
16-year-old Brian and his par-
ents.
Purchased as a colt by the late
Mr. Labannah Hodgins, the horse
lived with three generations of the
Hodgins family-Labannah,
Lorne and Brian.
When his mate died two years
ago. Prince retired from active
service and became a star-
boarder and pet on the Hodgins
farm, He was a great pet of
the whole family but especially
of Brian's, who took great plea-
sure riding him around the farm.
By a strange co-incidence the
late Labannah Hodgins died 16-
years ago last week and also
26 years ago last week, Prince
made his first "solo" trip, when
driven to Exeter and Hensall by
Messrs Lorne Hodgins and Don
Abbott.
From then on prince worked
either double or single.

Owing to sickness, no cubs
were invested at last F r iday
night's cub meeting, when 22 cubs
met at the Scout Hall.
An uncle of cub John Sleeghs,
Mr. Henry Van DerVen of London
offered his services as Baloo.
Mr. Van DerVen, who has had
experience with cub work inHol-
land, taught the Lucan cubs some
new games. The previous sema-
phore lesson was reviewed and
the third circle taught.
A hike, was planned for the
Christmas vacation, through the
farm of Mr. Ron Crozier.
Colds, ills
befall kids
The Lucan and Biddulph
Christmas concerts will be held
in the latter school, Dec. 21 and
22. The children will see the
concert Thursday morning, but as
a special treat from the teach-
ers, will see the film "Tom
Thumb".
At present in Lucan school
colds are the biggest problem.
There are also cases of pink eye,
chicken pox and mumps.
Weighty club,
to be watched
Thursday night was a record
breaking night for the Lucan
TOPS club, with a 100% attend-
ance and a total weight loss of
19 lbs.
One Lucan member was queen
for the night with a weekly loss
of four pounds. Another member
received her gold ribbon and
star for having shed a total of
10 lbs. All others lost from two
to three pounds. No member re-
ceived a turtle for a small loss
and no one had to take home a
little pink pig.
Next Thursday will be Open
Night when anyone interested in
seeing the club will be made
welcome. The meeting will be
held in the Cochrane store (the
former Skylark Beauty Salon) on
Main St. beginning at 8 pm.
Three dietitians from Victoria
Hospital, London, will be the
guest speakers. lb.
Had you walked, or driven, on
Main St. Saturday, you would
have concluded that it is be-
ginning to look and sound like
Christmas in Lucan. From a
window over the Haskett Furni-
ture Store, again resounded the
old familiar carols.
The hydro commission and
businessmen have not only dec-
orated the tall tree on Mr. J. S.
Radcliffe's lawn and strung lights
across the street, but Mr. Jim
Freeman had the inspiration to
attach small lighted Christmas
trees on the top of all hydro poles
in the main business block. The
effect is most original and im-
pressive.
Each day more and more resid-
ents are putting up their Christ-
mas decorations.

In minor hockey Friday night
the Lambeth pee wee's walloped
Lucan by an 8-0 score. The
Bantams were clobbered almost
as badly but the midgets get a
bit of revenge with an 8-4 win,
paced by their star defenceman
Dennis Burt with three goals and
one assist.
All the teams from Lucan were
sporting new sweaters, I presume
that the pee wees and bantams
wanted to keep them that way,
but the midgets are old enough
to know that they are to play
hockey in so they did just that.
We had a very busy day here
Sunday, bee, 11, with public skat-
ing being big again and then a
large skating party, The St. Wil-
librord skating Club of London
were in for the evening with ap-
proximately 250 people,
GOLDEN YELLOW .CHIQUITA
LUCAN RECEIVED ITS SHARE
When the weatherman dumped
out his over-supply of water last
week he didn't forget Lucan.
What a mess! Cellars never
before flooded, received a share.
Several Lucanites were up all
Wednesday night in an attempt to
keep water out of their furnaces.
Sump pumps worked over time.
All low lying gardens were flood-
ed. The Scout Hall was surround-
ed and the old ball diamond look-
ed like a miniature lake.
The Cubs must have a stand-
in with the weatherman for some
time during Thursday night he
"sopped" up the water in front
of the Scout Hall enabling the
Cubs to hold their Friday meet-
ing as usual.
