Mrs. Frank Stanley of Con- cession 16, London, blames her- self for her accident. She at- tempted to push a wheel-barrow out of her path and apparently touched the handle of the mower for it swung around and nearly severed her big toe. She managed to get in the house and was later taken to hospital. At time of writing it is not known if the toe will have to be amputated or not. The second accident happened to Gordon Worrell, 13 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Lyle Wor- rell. Gordon was mowing a neigh- bour's lawn and was pulling the mower backwards up an incline when he slipped in front of the mower. All the toes of his right foot were badly cut. He will be in St. Joseph's Hospital for some time. Gordon is a Grade 8 student at Oxbow School and expected to try his final examinations this month. A splendid student, his principal has assured him he had no cause to worry on that score. Gordon is also a great sport and feels badly at having to miss Field Day.

The 1st race of the weekend was from Peterborough. There were 10 lofts with 146 birds sent to this race. The birds were liberated in peterborough by Mike Culbert on. Saturday morn- ing at 7 am. The first bird was at Willy Vanneste's loft at 11:20 16 sec. Tom and Gord Hardy were Explorers obtain stars The Lucan - Clandeboye Ex- plorers' 21st Expeditionwas held in the United Church Schoolroom last Monday evening with 30 members and four counsellors present.

Then Willy was in there for one more. Dwight Henderson was 4th at 11:25 and Culbert was there for 5th. Out of the blue came a new- comer to the race. Maybe I should say an old corner, re- juvenated. Anyway Lena Hardy was able to clock 3 birds in less than 3 minutes to take over 6th, 7th and 8th. Norm was watch- ing the birds fly over as he sat at his loft at his mother's house waiting for his first one. Nice going Lena! Glad to see after 20 years of happy marriage you can still put the old boy in his place if you take the notion. (By the way Happy Anniversary on Tuesday). I sort of feel like the Harry Eisen of the pigeon pickers. Two weeks ago I predicted we should watch out for Willy Vanneste's birds. Last week he took the Oshawa race and this week he not only won the Peterborough race but he walked off with first and second from St. Jerome, Quebec (400 miles). There were only four birds home from this race in the day. Willy had two of these birds. Jack Hardy had one and Clarence Hardy had the other. The rest of us just sat and looked and saw the sun set and the rain come but no pigeons. We sure did get to see a heck of a lot of starlings though. Sunday morning most mem- bers of our club were out of bed by 6 am. It was very overcast with a bit of fog in places. It just didn't look like a day to watch for too many 400 milers. At 6:45 am long before it had started to get very bright out ; Dwight Henderson got a little red hen home. She must have beeh at Elginfield last night to be home in such good time. Dwight being the superintendent of Holy Trin- ity Sunday School had quite a chore to keep from wandering from the text a bit, Willy had his 1st pigeon on Saturday evening at '7:04 40 sec. This bird was makihg 1082.5 yds per minute which is a very good velocity for such bad weather. He had his 2nd bird at '7:19.43. Jack Hardy got one at 7.47.38 to pick Off third money. Clar- ence got an old blue hen NO., 2429 next, She was in at 8,19,13 which was getting very close to darkness. This hen of Clarence's was hatched in his loft in 1961. She has been to the 400 Mile race seven times and to the 500, six times so she has flown out of the province of Quebec IS times for a total of 5800 miles. This does not include any of the short- er races she has been in. I feel that any bird that cart beat a hen like this or even teme Close behind her should be given a great deal of respect. Willy Is also the winner of the International Harvester trophy for this race. Barbara Janet Park, daughter of Mrs. Marjorie Park, Lucan, and the late James David Park, re- ceived her Bachelor of Arts de- gree in psychology and French at the University of Western Ontario. She plans to attend Alt- house College of Education inthe fall in preparation for a teaching career. History grad William Stewart park, son of Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Park, Lucan, recently graduated in Honors History from the Uni- versity of Western Ontario. He has accepted a position with the History Department of the Lamb- ton Central Collegiate Vocational Institute at Pettolia after a surn- Mer Course at the Althouse Col- lege of Education.
