Last test of the season
for older racing -birds
By HOMER PIGEON
once again we had two races
last weekend. The one race was
from Oshawa (136 miles) and
the other was from Smith Falls
(300 miles).
The birds were liberated in
Smith Falls at 6:45 am into a
hot and humid morning. There
was very little wind and it was
bright and sunny all along the
line. There were 123 birds from
Lucan in this race.
Willy Vanneste was out in his
yard cutting the grass. His wife
says he misses a lot of grass on
Saturdays because he is watching
the loft for a bird instead of
watching where he is going with
the lawn mower.
As Willy rounded a rose bush,
there before his tired old eyes
was a big blue pigeon just about
to land on the coop. Willy was so
excited he forgot to shut the lawn
mower off and it cut up a lovely
row of rosebushes.
Any way you look at it, he will
have enough money out of this
race to plant a row of orchids
where the roses once bloomed
so nicely.
Now Willy was just qu i c k
enough to get first, second and
third. He had more birds home,
but we can only clock three. His
first bird was 25 minutes ahead,
of any other in this club.
Clarence Hardy was able to
pick off fourth and then came a
performance that has never been

Although Lucan'was not among
the top wi'nne'rs, members Made
a good shoWing: The final re
stilts Will ha be available for a
couple Weeks:
equaled in pigeon history. Big
lovable .Uncle Norm was just
walking up to get his clock ready
when he took a look in the wind-
ow of his loft and saw a bird
from the race sitting on the nest.
He lost very little time clocking
it and then he drove over to his
mother's loft and clocked one
there.
Just as he came out of that loft
he saw a bird going over so he
jumped in the car and raced home
to clock that one. After the stones
from the tires and the dust had
settled he was quite pleased to
find out he had picked off fifth,
sixth and seventh positions.
Jack was able to pick off eighth
and ninth even if he did have to
use some of his relatives' birds
to help. Dwight Henderson had his
first one at 2:03 to get tenth and
then came Mert Culbert and Clar-
ence Hardy.
At this point the prize money
was gone but these last few should
be mentioned, too, because if it
hadn't been for them the prize
money wouldn't have gone as far
as it did. Thank you boys, Tom
and Gord, Chuck Barrett, Mr.
Eggett and Skinny Ennis.
The Oshawa race birds were
liberated at 7:00 am, The first
bird was clocked by Bill Ennis at
'10:23. This was the second win
of the season for this fellow.
I sure am glad he just flew the
last half dozen races. Maybe next
year he will take some of these
trophies away from Willy Van-
neste.
Dwight Henderson was second,
Chuck Barrett, third, Dwight,
fourth, and Chuck, fifth. These
boys sort of looked after this
race very nicely.
Dwight won the pool money.
I think this is the fourteenth
time this year for Dwight to win
the pools.
This concludes the old bird
race schedule. I hope to be able
to give you a few new winners
in the young bird:fteries.

Lions help to
beautify park
Lucan Lions may not hold reg-
ular meetings during July and
August, but they have not been
idle.
The town park at the corner
of Beech and Market has been
kept beautifully mowed all sum-
mer. Last week six picnic tables
were added.
Some people are still under
the impression the park is only
for the Lions but the Lions would
like it understood that old and
young may use the park and
tables at any time, if they leave
it as they find it. Kindly remove
all garbage before leaving. Now
that tables are available how
about some class picnics.
The Ladies have been practis-
ing ball a few nights. Why do
not some of the young boys and
girls organize a ball team in-
stead of playing on the street?
Last week the Lions com-
mittee met at the Haskett Fur-
niture store when it was decided
the Lions and Legion would hold
a joint picnic, August 18.
As Scoutmaster Froats has
such a large group of Cubs, the
enlarging of the Scout Hall was
discussed but nothing definite
was decided.
A hamburg cook-out is plan-
ned 'for July 27 to be held at the
home of Lion Jim Young.
Saturday, a number of Lucan
Lions went to Mt. Brydges to
make arrangements and clean
up for a barn dance and steak
barbecue for Zone 24 N. Ladies
Night that Saturday evening.
Twenty-two Lucan Lions and
wives attended this outing. Ap-
parently a good time was had by
all for some Lucanites did not
