Attendants were Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Hockey, Lucan. The young couple are making their home at Huron Park, Centralia. First time starters feature pigeon races I think the Culbert bird has it sewed up but other people think differently. Willy and Chuck are the ones to make the final decis- ion. Next week we go to Peter- borough. We hope for better weather as these rains and high wind takes a great deal out of our birds. TIM STUTT Grade 5 pupil draws cartoons Tim Stutt, ten-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Stutt and a Grade 5 pupil at the Biddulph Central School, who won the essay contest on "What it means to be a Cub", has also a flare for cartoons, While other boys are outside enjoying sports, Tim prefers to stay indoors and draw. "Ting" of Free Press fame, is his idol. He makes copies of many Of his cartoons but else, composes his own. What the future has in store for Tim only time can tell.

APPLICATION ACCEPTED Miss Line Abbott received word last week that her appli- cation to become a resident of the McCormick Home, Loedpn, had been accepted by the Board of Directors. As there is always along wait- ing list, she was most surprised to receive a phone message the following day that a room was available. With a house and all her be- longings to sell, she felt she couldn't leave Lucan at once. Besides, she feels an obligation to T-A subscribers until the new correspondent is ready to take over—about August 1. With the help of many kind friends, she is trying to carry on until then.

In our race from Oshawa this week we had one new entry to the race. Bill Ennis from Arva arrived on the scene with a basket full of birds for his first race of the season. Now with all the rest of the birds in our club having flown at least 220 miles this season we didn't figure he was too much competition. He just showed us it is not wise to fool around with an old timer even if he is a late starter. One of Bill's birds was clock- ed at 11.17 am from Oshawa (136 miles) to win this race by 18 minutes over the second place Culbert bird. Bill used to fly many years ago with the old Forest City race club. Be has just started to fly the odd race again after being out of the birds for quite some time. We wanted to take his picture but he had such a grin on his face we couldn't get it all in the camera. It just goes to show you that you can't teach an old dog new tricks. This one still uses all the old tricks and does very well at it. That race ended up as follows: first, Bill Ennis, then Mike Cul- bert, Clarence Hardy, Dwight Henderson, Clarence Hardy, Mr. Eggett, Clarence Hardy and Dwight Henderson. These birds were released in Oshawa just before a bad thund- erstorn broke so they had to fly through very bad weather to get home, The second race that day was Smith Falls (300 miles). This is the place that we start to lose our birds, Only the strong ones will make it home from here on to the 500. As it shows on the race sheet, Willy Venneste must have a loft full of strong birds. His first bird was borne at 4:15 pm and he had two more before 5:30 to take first, Second and third. As the boys in the club say, "the big broad Belgiari from Brussels has done it again." Willy not Only picked off the first three positions, he also won the Smith Sunoco trophy. This is Willy's fourth win this year. If he doesn't stop soon he will have to put the trophies tit the turnip storage just to have enough room. Jack Hardy was there for fourth with a little hen that was the best youtig bird last year. He has -only sent her to four races this year end has clocked her every time. She could be the best year- ling this year if she keeps on flying the way she has. Right behind Jack carne Clare ence (just a couple Of MteUtes later). At the time of writing the results are not yet official se we are not just sure who gets sieth and seVerith, Mert Culbert has one that has a 46 setotel edge over Norm Hardy, Now )`Corm has a bit farther to fly so We are hot sure Who has these two posie time.
