Knowing from experience, Proudly displays his first trophy To most Lucanites, the Pigeon Banquet, Nov. 11, is now past history but not to Timothy Cul- bert, three-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Mert Culbert, who proudly displays his first and only trophy, to everyone who visits the Culbert home. To his three brothers, 15-year old Mike, 12-year old Pete and 11-year old Jeff, trophy winning is just a repeat performance as they have not only won pigeon trophies but also music and pub- lic speaking trophies. Last spring Mr. Dwight Hend- erson, one of Lucan's most ard- ent pigeon fanciers, gave Timothy an egg out of which hatched a big red pigeon, which Tim named "Scooter". Scooter became Tim's special pet. Day after day he cared for him and watched him grow, Friday, Aug, 25 Scooter was taken to Peterborough to par- ticipate in a race the next day, and well you guessed it — Scooter won the race, and brought great honor and excitement to the whole Culbert household. some would come hatless, the secretary brought a dozen or more old hats with her, and members chose hats to match their dresses.

As Mrs. Frank Jolliffe was sick at the time of the October meeting she read her paper en- titled "How we Kept Thanks- giving in Oldtown", by Harriet Beecher Stowe", Mrs. Jolliffe's keen sense of humour, added much to the reading of this paper.
