BURT I hope all lovers of sport and everyone have gotten through the holidays without any ill effects. It was pretty hectic around the old centre with all the young fry on holidays but now it's over I'll get on with Rec news. Friday night the Ilderton Min- or teams played host to Strath- roy and lost out on all counts. In pee wee it was Strathroy 4, Ilderton 1; in bantam, Strathroy 4, Ilderton 2; in midget, in a fast well-played game Strathroy edged Ilderton 2-1. This game could have gone either way. In the Shamrock League Sat- urday, the first game score was Exeter 4, Dorchester 1 and in the second game, it was a 1-1 tie between Huron B and Stoney- brook. In the third game Lam- beth trimmed Huron B team by a score of 11-0 and In the fourth Strathroy 5, Lucan 1. Two of Lucan's better play- ers were away at the Watford tournament with the pee wee team.

The village of Lucan again held a three night ',Week of Prayer", with the first one Wed- nesday evening in the Pente- costal Holiness Church. As the Lucan-Clandeboye CG- IT and Explorers each attended in large groups they not only filled the centre section of the church but also four side seats. The pastor, the Rev. Gordon McDonald, who went south for Christmas, had car trouble and was unable to be present. Mr. Paul Graham, assisted by the Rev. G. W. Sach and the guest speaker, Rev. J. C. Thomson, were in charge of the service. Mr. Thompson as Secretary of the Canadian Bible Society for Western Ontario, spoke brief- ly of the work of the Bible Society in the densely populated island of Japan. His talk was followed by the movie "Under the Red Pagoda", depicting the dif- ficulties of placing the Bible in every home in Japan. Mr. Paul Graham and Mrs. John Boaz (nee Eizenga) of Oklahoma, sang a duet. Thursday was a wild, blustery below zero night, so only a few people attended the service in the Anglican Church, but the service was taken as scheduled, with the Rev. G. W. Sach speak- ing on the passage of time and the second coming of Christ. The final service was held in the United Church Friday even- ing. The attendance was not large, but the choir was out infull num- bers. The pastor presided assist- ed by Rev. E. 0. Lancaster. Rev. Gordon McDonald of the Pente- costal Holiness Church, spoke on the text "For the love of Christ constraineth us". The collection from the three services will go to the Bible Society.

Qrou Being Canada's 100th birthday, 1967 Was aparticularlybusyyear for all Canadians including Luc- an's Centennial Committee, nits. A. E. Reilly, chairman, Mrs. Murray Hodgins, secretary, Mr. Clare Stanley, publietty, and Mr. J, Smith and assistants, Mrs, T, A. \yatson, Mrs, B. B, Lang- forth and Mrs. Gerald Lewis, sports, Various PrganizatiOna Were aSked to be responsible for one months activities. Probably the two most important events were the Inter-faith Service at the arena, where clergy of all den- ominations participated and the Street Bazaar when Main Street was roped off, booths set up, merchants sold their wares on the street and many in centennial attire paraded the sidewalk. During the evening, Mr, and Mrs. James O'Shea were crowned king and queen as their daughter, Geraldine, won both contests, "Why my father and why my mother is the best father and best mother in Canada". Probably no organization en- tered into their project, of con- verting the old ball diamond into a town park, with more enthus- iasm, than did the Lions Club. All summer members could be seen cleaning up the grounds, mowing the grass and erecting a post and rail fence along Beech and Market Sts. Another active group was the Lucan Jr. Farmers. Under the capable leadership of President Alfred Ovens, the group reno- vated and painted the Maple Lodge Community Centre, cleaned up the Lewis cemetery, installed FRESH PICNIC WI'T'S PRIMIUM CWItt PICKLID COTTAGE ROLLS (Vail Vac Pac 59 lb Century Fang Signs, and entered.

The branch also participated in the poem writing centennial contest. To climax its activities a suc- cessful bazaar and antique show was staged in the UC school rooms. All were amazed at the number and variety of antiques which filled the new CE school room. Meantime in the old schoolroom, scones, muffins, biscuits, honey, jam and maple syrup were served in lamp-light, at red cloth-covered tables by servers in centennial costume. The year 1967 will be long remembered as the year Lucan had its first lady reeve, Mrs. Gladys Reilly, who completed the late Russell Bowman's term of office, was Lucan's capable reeve for 1967, Probably her greatest accomplishemnt was the change to payment of taxes twice a year. The water tower was painted in- side and out. Centennial decor- ations were installed on the streets and with the assistance of the businessmen, Christmas decorations were increased. Also 11 building permits were issued. Building was active during the year, including a three-room ad- dition to the Biddulph Central School, several new buildings for the turnip plant, a new Bank of Montreal, besides many now limes. Two vacant stores are now occupied by Ross the Barber and Larry PittYS' "Lucae'S Elec- tronics", leavtag only two vacant stores. Bonses are scarce with, at least, two parties having to Move to London: because no house was available. Cupid and Death again worked overtime in 1967, Two daughters of Mr. and Mrs. .Maurice Cob- leigh, a son and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Conlin (for- merly of Liica.n) were Married, during the year and a daughter Of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Young was married late in 1966 and another early in 1967 and the parents themselves celebrated their silver wedding. Mr. and. Mrs. Chas Powers (formerly of Lucan) and Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Cantelon cele- brated their golden weddings and Mr. and Mrs, Wilbert Stanley their 45th. Mrs. Jennie Raycraft Lewis published two centennial books, "sure An' This is Biddulph", and "The Luck of Lucan". The Biddulph Parent- Teachers' Association held a Fashion Show and also sponsored a bigger and better Music Fes- tival at the arena. The Lucan Pigeon Club was particularly active, ending the season with a banquet and pres- entation of trophies at the Shill- elagh. In hockey, two Lucan lads, Jeff Culbert and Randy English, brought honor to themselves and their team. Three Lucan Medway students, Ed Knoblouch, Jane Crozier and C Kathy Arnold preyed f4they had what it takes" when they eCn- pleted the 23. Mile Oxfam. Walk, AMPS and. clothes closets were ransacked for centennial attire, Many who ;Mid their "cupboard Was hare" made costumes for their whole family, Seine grmipe made, and rented costumes as a centennial cherch project. The attempts to PreserVe the West End Hotel as a historic building all falled and „it was finally torn down, het a nearby street car went to the Lpndon Historic Society. Another land- mark, the Stanley Bloeit wa„$ tore down to make way for Lucan's new bank. William Street now has new pavement, new sidewalks and curbs. The Legion. Auxiliary again sponsered a Figure Skating Revue with Luanne Taylor, Jim Mack- lem and Laima Karpas as special stars, The Lucan Anglican Church held its 100th Vestry meeting. Weatherwise, 1967 wasn't so good. Schools were closed twice, One to excess snow and Wet fall Weather prevented' bean and corn harNWtin, The LA404 Tops, "The Stream- liners" Crowned another queen. 'The Biddulph.-Lucan school had several sPlendid disPlaYS in ttie former fleViagtell meat market, After 46 years as, a mail Cour- ier, Mr. Edgar MaFalls retired, Mr. Jim Freernae, Lucan's Hydro manager, due to deep snow, used a snow cruiser to read the meters. A parade successful Herserean's Day Miss Pearl Clark of London has a dancing class at the arena and Mr. Arnold Kilmer has epen- ed a music studio in the Mun- icipal Building. What 1968 has in store for Lucan, only time can tell, So• what if you're 40 and you've lived half your life. Look at the bright side. If you were a horse, you'd already be dead 15 years. 3-lb.
