Members of the Royal Canadian Legion again held a Remem- brance Day Service and the Le- gion Auxiliary spent another busy year catering to many weddings and other activities as well as sponsoring a splendid figure skating revue. An enthusiastic TOPS club was organized in Lucan. And last, but not least, the mini skirt reached Lucan in 1966.

Announce New Healing Substance: Shrinks Piles schools, the .Lucan and Bicidulph schools re-opened Sept. 6, as usual, all perfectly oblivious of the bomb about to fait on their homes, when the "higher pow- ers" decided to make Lucan Jr. school, and Biddulph Central a Sr. school. What a busy week followed, for inspector and teach- ers to make the necessary chaste- es, A runner-up in upheaval was the installation of sewers on Alice and William St. which made both streets worse than the "Rocky Road to Dublin". Wil- liam St. was closed for weeks, to be widened and made ready for paving. At present a large drain on Beech St. is nearing completion. The widening of No. 4 Highway necessitated the re- moval of an old landmark, the home of Mr. Cliff McLean at Elginfield. The erection of the $35,000 United Church CE addition was the one great building project. Many homes changed hands, most empty houses were either sold or bowling scores The following were the winners at the Women's League turkey and chicken bowl-off: Mrs. Larry Ditty and Mrs. Jim Murphy won turkeys for high triple and high single, Mrs. Harry Wraith, Mrs. John park and Mrs. GeraldHara- ilton won a chicken for hidden score, low triple and low single. The following were the Col- leen's all hidden awards: Mrs. Jessie Lewis, Mrs. Edith Hod- gins and Mrs. Jean Miller won the three turkeys for hidden triples and Mrs. Edith Hodgins, Mrs. Leona Klumpers, Mrs. Stella Fisher and Mrs. Shirley Stuckless won a box of candy each for high singles, Legion, Lions mark New Year's The Lucan Canadian Legion sponsored a New Years' Eve party at the Legion Hall and the Lucan Lions Club sponsored an- other party at the Community Centre.

Stewart brought greetings, Mr. Wilson Hodgins, as reeve of Bid- dulph and Mrs. Gladys Reilly as reeve of Lucan, had the honor of cutting the large centennial cake. '..$00kskN'AV"' Native of Lucan wed in London Standards of red roses and white sterns, formed the setting in the Church of the Redeemer, London at 7 p.m., Dec. 15, when the Rev. D.G.

Exclusivehealingsubstanceproventoshrink hemorrhoids and repair damaged tissue, A renowned research institute 11E48 found a unique healing substance with the ability to shrink hemor- rhoids painlessly It relieves itching and discomfort in minutes and speeds up healing of the injured, inflamed tissue. In case after case, while gently relieving pain, actual reduction (shrinkage) took place Most important of all—results were so thorough that this improve. ment was maintained over a period of many months. This was accomplished with a nesleh.ealing substance (Bio-Dyne) which quickly helps heal injured cells and stimulates growth of new ti Now Rio-Dyne is offered in oint- ment and suppository form called rPerfeupnadreadti,on H. Ask for it at all drug stores. Satisfaction or your money Probably the mast active ju- nior organtzation was the Liman- ClandeboYe COIT which by teas, fashion shows, and TV appeer- ance took on the stupendous task of sponsoring a stained glass window for the United Church. Among those involved in car accidents were Mrs. Wm. Hod- gins and children, Miss Winni- fred Keogh and niece, Mark Fin- laYeon, John Henderson and Paul Graham. With the publishing of the book "Sure An' This is Biddulph, Mrs. Jennie Raycraft Lewis brought fame to herself and to the Town- ship of Biddulph. Three golden weddings were celebrated, Mr. and Mrs.George Ward, Mr. and Mrs, Clarence Roger and M:s and Mrs. Hector McFee. If variety is the spice of life, the weatherman had a spicy year, closing schools in February with snow, partially ruining crops and gardens with a six-week drought in the summer and setting sump pumps running at high speed and flooding basements, never before flooded, in the late Fall. Lack of space necessitates the omission of many other events but will close with a few isolated happenings: Mrs. Glenn Robinson of Exeter, won the Lucan IGA “Cashier of the Year", contest. Constable A. E, Cowan was transferred from Lucan to Ayr. Mr. Ernie Ross retired from the Canadian 0 r dnanc e Depot Army workshop. Mr. James Freeman became Lucan's hydro manager. Rev.

The WI which was on the verge of collapse owing to the difficulty to secure officers, was able to sponsor the erection of a plaque in memory of the Wilberforce settlement.

At a joint meeting, in the Biddulph Central. in December a new or- ganization, to be known as the "Biddulph Area School & Parent Association" was formed. Cupid and Death worked over- time in 1966, resulting in 26 weddings arid the death of so many prominent Lucan men and women, among whom was Reeve Russell Bowman. Another big loss to the village was the posting, to Clinton of F/Sgt. W. C. Moody, Lucan's Cub Master for three years. A replacement was secured when Mrs. Laura Morgan moved to Lucan, and volunteered to take over. She is at present, doing a splendid job. During the year, the Lions lost their president, Mr. Wes Colley, who moved toPt.Stanley, as well as several other mem- bers. However five new mem- bers were installed in December to replenish the ranks.
