It looked like it might have looked '75 years ago, with men and boys coming into town from all di- rections. Instead of an ox and cart they came this time by car, truck and station wagon. Instead After a vacation of two months, the opening Fall meeting of the Lucan WI was held in the arena committee room Thursday with an enthusiatic attendance. The new president, Mrs. Frank Hardy, who has worked so hard to continue the WI, presided. Roll call was answered by a diet hint. The final decision as to the date of a bus trier toJackMiners' Bird Sanctuary was left over until the October meeting. Most of the meeting was given over to finalizing plans for the branch's centennial project—an antique display and tea to be held in the United Church's new CE building September 19. Mrs. Sheridan Revington, as convener of (di-tome Economics and Health" spoke on the motto, "Health is your community's business," and on Prince Ed- ward Island, its history, size, people, production and exports etc. She also introduced the guest speaker, Miss Margaret Smith, the public health nurse who with the use of a flannelgraph gave an interesting talk on the Mid- dlesex Health Unit, touching on the Huron, Perth, Oxford and Elgin Units. On the map of Middlesex she marked with colored pieces of Baskets of white gladioli and yellow mums formed the setting in the church of the Redeemer, London, for a double ring mar- riage ceremony at 2 pm Satur- day, September 9 when the Rev. David Rees united in wedlock Laura Lynn Newcombe and Doug- las Edward Minzen. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Newcombe of RR 4 Thamesford, and the groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Minzen of Woodstock, Given in marriage by her fath- er, the bride chose a floor- length empire-styled gown of white brocade satin, featuring a scoop neck line, lily point sleeves, A-line skirt and a de- tachable cathedral train, ces- Ceding from the shoulders. A crown of pearls and rhinestones held her shoulder-length silk net veil. She carried a cascade of yellow orchids and trailing ivy Mrs. Ronald Riley of lienSall (the former Linde England of Lucan) as matron of hOnor and Miss Linda Minzen of Woodstock as bridesmaid, were gowned in melon satin back crepe, styled similar to the bride's gown, They wore head-pieces of rose petals of a crate of chickens to sell at the market, each man had a crate of pigeons to be sent to Tweed to the largest young bird race of the season. This was the night to band the birds for the Southwestern On- tario Federation Futurity race. There were men there from Sar- felt, the cities, towns, villages, schools, hospitals, clinics, Mun- cey Reservation, children etc., making, when finished, a most colorful picture. Middlesex population is now 52,465. Miss Smith told much of her own duties in the area which she, as a public nurse, covers. At the close of her talk, she was presented with a small gift. by Mrs. Frank Jolliffe, and thank- ed by both Mrs. Revington and Mrs. Hardy. Refreshments were served. UC girls enjoy wiener roasting The Lucan-Clandeboye CG/T held a wiener roast Monday even- ing from 4:30-8:30 in the new Lions Park. Recreation was directed by new leaders Marilyn Hearn and Nancy Park, and President Heath- er Froats. Following s u pp e r those present divided into three groups to plan a campfire pro- gram of skits, jokes and singing. Vice-pres. Carol Haskett and Secretary, Betty Park lead in closing vespers. and carried pink sweetheart roses and white mums. Eight-year-old Susan NOW- combe was flower girl in a floor- length gown, similar to the other attendants, She carried a nosegay of roses and mums. Daniel New- combe was ring bearer. The best man was Donald Min- zen and ushers were Rand Craig and David Ackerman, Mr. C. Ackerman of London, as organist, provided traditiional wedding Music. At a reception in the Dor- chester Comrhenity H a 11, the bride's mother received in a street length, turquoise gown, feathered hat, beige accessor- ies, and orchid corsage, She was assisted by the groom's mother in a deep blue lace gown, black accessories and orchid corsage. For a honeymoon trip to West- ern Ontario, the bride changed to an orange ice stilt, belie actes- sOriee and orchid corsage. The young couple will Make their home in London, Among the guests Were Mr. and Mrs. Thomas England and Mr. Stewart Munro of Elizabeth and Margaret Str,. Lucan, nia, St. Thomas (2 clubs), Lon- don (3 clubs), St. Marys, Strat- ford, Mitchell and Lucan. When the totals were added together at the end of the even- ing it was found we had sent 401 birds from 59 lofts, This was the largest shipment of young birds to this race in many years. The entry fee for such a race as this is much higher than it is for our own club races, so at $1.25 per bird there was a very good purse for the winners. It is sort of a race within a race as half the money put in by each club comes back to them for prize money. There is one winner over all the birds and then there is a winner in each club. Now up until a couple of weeks ago Jack and Andy Hardy had just flown two races. Most of us felt a wee bit sorry for them not being in the first few races. One day one of the old-timers said to me "you don't need to feel a d--- bit sorry for those guys, they are just getting their birds ready for the big Tweed race." This old-timer sure knew what he was talking about for their bird must have almost scratched the side out of the basket to get home in such good time. In four hours and 53 minutes this little bird covered the 225 miles from Tweed to Lucan. It had a speed of 1400 yards per minute which is the fastest this year for young birds. Every one who had a bird home in race time was back in Lucan again Saturday night to have their clocks opened. This was to see who had the best bird, Now as there are so many miles between Mitchell, Sarnia, St. Thomas etc. it is going to take considerable time to figure out just who had the best bird in the Federation. This job has been left in the capable hands of Chuck Barrett in St. Marys. We will try to have a run down of the race for next week. In the meantime we would like to congratulate Jack and Andy on a good race. Friends shower brides with gifts Miss Marilyn Brownlee daugh- ter of Mr. Wm. Brownlee, Lucan and the late Mrs. Brownlee, was honored at several pre-nuptial events, prior to her marriage to Mr. Alan Paton, in Holy Trin- ity Anglican Church, Saturday, Sept. 23.

Five-pound gain sends pig home At the weekly meeting of the Lucan Streamliners Tops held Thursday evening, the leader. Mrs. Eldon Hopps, presided, One of the most successful losers found out that nibbling and tasting this and that doesn't pay for it is not the quantity that counts but the quality. A five pound gain in the week netted, not only a fine but the unwel- come pink pig. However with the help of the club she is deter- mined to lose the five pounds and more before the next meeting, Mrs. Ted Faris again won the weekly crown and Mrs, Ambrose Korizina won the mystery prize.
