Thursday, January 26 was a red letter day for the Lucan TOPS Club, for on that date they crowned their first queen, Mrs. Harry Bond. The person losing the most weight at the end of each three months is crowned careen. The meeting began Thursday Quick action averts blaze What might have been a serious fire was averted last Thursday morning when Jim Hardy noticed smoke in Jim Leach's workshop, when he went down to measure for railing. He immediately noti- fied Mrs. Leach at the bank, who lost no time getting home, but owing to the smoke couldn't get to the fire as she had no key for the outside door. Before the fire reels arrived, her husband appeared and re- moved the cause of the fire a container holding lighted char- coal, which he had left on his bench. The 100th Vestry Meeting of Holy Trinity Anglican Church was held in the Parish Hall last Tuesday evening. It was most fitting it should coincide with Canada's Centennial Year. The rector, the Rev. E. 0. Lancaster presided and gave his seventh annual report, which was followed by Chas. Corbett's audi- tor's report.

Mr BATHROOM TISSU Explorers seek additional help Last Monday everting 30 mem- bers of the Lucan-Clandeboye Explorers met in the UC for their second 1967 Expedition. They only have two counsellors so are in dire need of even occasional help, with such a large group. Judy Coughlin led in a new game. The embroidering of wash cloths for the overseas bale, is their new project. Each girl was asked to bring the price of a cake of soap, a large needle and embroidery floss. Mrs. Ross McRoberts taught a new French song and also the song, "We All Call it Canada". Mrs. Wm. Froats told a story. A letter of thanks was read from a Halifax port-worker, thanking the group for December gifts. Mrs. McRoberts was incharge of the worship service, the theme of which was "Learning to be a Christian". Dianne Corbett read the Scripture. The next meeting will be February 6. TOP VALU ORANGE PEKOE — SAVE 10c — Elect new officers at United Church at the home of Mrs, Wayne Hock- ey, where all were weighed in. Mrs. Bond's loss was another four pounds, making a total of 32 pounds. All had lost some. The runner-up for the three months was the president, Mrs. Eldon Hopps, with a total loss of 191/2 pounds. Following the weighing in, all met at the hotel dining-room for a banquet. The only two invited guests, were Mrs. Bond's daugh- ter, Mrs, Jack Henson and Miss Lina Abbott, On entering the dining-room, Mrs. Bond was handed a large box from Reder's Florist, Ex- eter, a donation and best wishes from Mr. Bond. After the dinner Mrs. Hockey as chairman for the evening, welcomed all to their first Queen crowning ceremony and pinned a corsage on the president, fol- lowing her pinning one on Mrs. Bond. And then came the big moment. As the group has not purchased yet an official crown to be used, each three months, they present- ed Mrs. Bond with a personal tiara. In Mrs. Hopp's address she told of the origin of TOPS in 1948 in United States with four members, "Today", she said, "there are clubs all over the world, with 600 in Canada alone". But the crown was not all. Mrs. Bond received many small gifts and many cards of con- gratulations, for all of which Mrs. Bond made a very suitable reply of thanks. As the happy evening broke up, each member vowed she was going to be the next queen three months hence. Time will tell. Storm left snow piles After last week's January thaw, which left streets and sidewalks bare, many thought "Spring was just around the corner", but how sadly they were mistaken. Thursday down came the snow, in such quantities that none of the school buses could get through on Friday so Biddulph and St, Patrick's schools were closed entirely. The Lucan PS carried on with Lucan children and Med- way High School with those who were able to make it. Highway 4 was kept open so commuters to London were able to get to work, though some were late. Friday afternoon, the storm had a temporary lull, enabling the Lions Club and Medway's "Change About" dances to draw each, a splendid attendance. But it was only a lull, Sat- urday's storm was worse than ever, filling in the tunnels some had dug to the street. Those who did not have to go out Saturday remained in the house all day and then got up early Sunday morning and dug themselves out for church. Lions visit St. Thomas Last Monday, 12 members of the Lucan Lions Club accepted an invitation to visit the St. Thomas Lions club. The guest speaker was a mem- ber of OPP who spoke on acci- dents and showed a film. This was followed by a lively question and answer period. As the business meeting was short, there was still time for a friendly game of euchre. 2 Pkgs. 88g of 60 2 24-oz. 88g Jars bags) (1-cup TEA BAGS ST.
