Couple exchange vows a Strathroy
Can't agree
on darn job
At the May meeting of the
Biddulph Council last Tuesday,
Mr. Laurence Dufton of Nissouri,
safety inspector for Middlesex
Co., spoke on safety.
Two drain petitions for King
St., Granton, and for the exten-
sion of the Scott municipal drain
on Lot 20, Concession 2, Bid-
dulph, were given to Charles
Corbett, for investigation and two
more on lots 30 and 31 on high-
way 23 were given to A. M.
Spriet.
The biggest item of business
at the meeting was a discussion
on the proposed Ausable dam.
The Biddulph Council is par-
ticularly in favor of the dam,
as it would eliminate the neces-
sity of erecting, a new bridge.
A month ago the Biddulph coun-
cil agreed to pay 7 1/2% of the cost
of a survey, if the Lucan council
paid a similar amount. The re-
mainder of the cost would come
from 75% from senior govern-
ment subsidies and 10% from the
Ausable Authority.
When Lucan council objected,
it was suggested Biddulph pay
10 and Lucan 5%, making Bid-
dulph's share $1300 and Lucan's
$650.
A report on the Kennedy—
Byron drain, which extends into
London and West Nissouri town-
ships, was approved. The cost is
estimated at $14,000 with London
Township owners assessed for
$9,300.

Girls plan drive
for coat hangers
President Heather Froatp was
in the chair, when the Lucan-
Clandeboye CGIT met in the Unit-
ed Church schoolroom, last
Tuesday. A few final plans were
made for the Centennial Maypole
Tea. Morning and afternoon
workers, were chosen for the an-
nual coat hanger drive Saturday,

The girls were asked to try
and think of something original
for favors for the mother and
daughter banquet, June 16.
It was decided, beginning in
September, to have a member-
ship fee of $1.00, in lieu of Stew-
ardship cards in April.
The worship service was taken
by Marilyn Hearn and Carol Has-
kett.
A new project was started,

The bouffant skirt featured a
tiered front of alternate lace
scallops. A pearl and crystal
tiara held her three-tier finger-
tip silk illusion veil. She carried
a cascade of red roses, encircled
with white carnations, ferns and
ribbons.
Mrs. Robert Peckham, London,
sister of the groom, as matron
of honor, was her only attendant.
She chose a kelly green peau de
sole satin, empire-styled gown,
with lace bodice. A matching
rosette headpiece, held her
shoulder-length veil and she car-
ried a cascade of yellow mums,
white carnations, fern and
streamers. Mr. Robert Richard

and Messrs Richard Munn and
Brian Denning were ushers.

bury and points north, the bride
changed to a blue and white
checked wool suit, white hat,
navy accessories and pink rose
corsage.
The couple will make their
home at Arris.
The widening of William St.
Lucan necessitated the removal
of a village landmark, the century
old Western Hotel. The height of
the two-storey building to move
would require much hydro wire
cutting so it faced demolition.
An anonymous party sent $20 to
the Free Press, hoping others
would do likewise to preserve
this historic landmark. The Lon-
don and Middlesex HistoricalSo-
ciety as well as the village of
Lucan became interested, but all
attempts to keep the building in
Lucan, failed. Finally the former
purchased the building for $1 and
turned it over to the Strathroy
Kiwanis Club, to be restored as
a centennial project.
The building was built in 1865
and was operated from 1903-
1906 by two members of the Don-
nelly family.
One condition of the transfer
is that the building be moved by
the end of May. Lou McGuire,
Kiwanis president, said the club
will restore it, and operate it
as a tourist attraction. The cost
of moving will be about $1,000.
If necessary, the building will
be dismantled, and each piece
numbered for reconstruction.
Because of prohibition, the ho-
tel closed during World War I,
and was vacant for some years.
Since 1939 it has been used for
storage, by Scott Elevators Ltd.
The interior will require much
expense and labor to restore it
to its former condition.
