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 B ride-elect is honored Prior to her wedding July 27, Miss Catherine Blake was a guest of honor at a miscellaneous show- er recently sponsored by Mrs. Joe W helihan, Mrs. Will Mc- Laughlin and her daughter, Mrs. Mark Boulianne.Held in the old St. Patrick School, B id d u 1p h, 75 relatives and friends were pres- ent.

Taylor dies in Tilbury Mrs. Benjamin Taylor, 59, passed away very suddenly last Tuesday while watching TV in her Tilbury home. The body lay at rest in the Murdy Funeral Home, Lucan, until Friday when the Rev. G. Johnson of the Anglican Church, Ilderton, conducted the funeral service. Two grandsons, a son-in-law and a friend were the only pall- bearers. Interment was in St. James Cemetery, Clandeboye. Besides her husband, Mrs. Taylor is survived by one son, Roy of Windsor, two daughters, Mrs. Gordon (Wynne) Berry and Mrs. Alex (Marjorie) Hill, Lon- don. three grandchildren and four brothers, Harold, Herbert, Char- les and Roy Emery, all of Peter- borough. Mrs. Taylor was the former Jenny V. Emery. She was the mother-in-law of the former Ma- delaine McLean, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ed. McLean. Junior farmers plan Detroit trip The regular July meeting of the Lucan Junior Farmers was held in the Maple Lodge Community Centre, Tuesday evening with ap, proximately 40 members pres- ent. President John Riddell pre- sided. August 3 was the date set for a trip to the Detroit Zoo and Ford Museum. August 13, the Lucan Jr. Farmers will hold a Wiener roast. Three members were chosen to go on an exchange trip to • Welland Cotinty. 11, After the meeting, a shivaree party was held at the home Of • Mr. and Mrs: Keith Selves (nee Elizabeth Riddell) of Kirkton, a • • recent bride and groom.

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. 4'4 Gathering baskets of blue snap- dragons 'and white daisies and lighted candelabra formed the setting in the Lucan United ChUrch Saturday, July's when the Rev. ,G.

Miss Reid I.nt: WOO LbsO Abbott 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 arrive home until 4 am Sunday. A report on bow many made church at 11 am is not available but at least one Anglican did. .
