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. Per-
chance Lucan will have another
"Tine" some day.

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.

By HOMER PIGEON
This pigeon racing is certain-
ly full of surprises. 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.
