Lucan r lzsct news corresPoritien` Mrs. Frances $PVearel Hardy birds hardiest .Georgetown trip MR. AND MRS. JAMES H. PERRY To live in London GERALD HEFFERNAN LOCKNOW SHARON. BURROWS It1t4CARbINE By HOMER PIGEON Once more the btrdp: are fly- ing from the east. There was a race from George- town in which Clarence Hardy was out in front of the rest of us by enough to pick off first and second popitions. Then came Willy Vanneste for third, fourth and fifth. On Fridey night when we ship- ped, Willy came bouncing along with four baskets of birds and when they had all been banded we counted 54 birds from Willy's loft. Tom Gilmoer told me it just looked like a swarm of locusts coming over when these birds all came home. There in the midst of all of these birds stood Willy who was able to clock his first three birds in 18 seconds. Can that lad ever move when he has a hot bird! Clarence's were out in front by enough that he didn't have to Rites held for accident victim Funeral service was held in the C. Haskett and Son Funeral Home, Lucan, by Rev. S. J. Bell of Granton Anglican Church, Aug- ust 3 for Mrs. Burns A. Stephen, 22, London, who was killed when her husband's car skidded on Highway 23 and crashed into a tree. Her 24-year-old husband was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital with an injured pelvis. Pallbearers were Roger Steph- en, Ross Stephen, Don Stephen, Walter Langford, Howard Hod- gins and Bill Webster. Flower bearers were Shirley Niblock, Avis Kilpatrick, Shirley Geraux, Gloria. Webster, Julia Talbot, Donna Heard, Joan Hod- gins, Marie Langford, Carolyn Lambert and> Ann Hardy. Interment was in St. James Cemetery, Clandeboye. Besides her husband, Mrs. Stephen is survived by her par- ents, Mr. and Mrs. Ken. Hodgins, Granton; and one sister, Mrs. Lois Herbert also of Granton. The deceased was the former Lorene Olive Hodgins. Mr. and Mrs. Stephen were married December 23, 1967, and were to have moved to their new home in Woodstock the following week. A large number of relatives and friends attended the funeral. Bride-elect is honored hurry too much. After Willy's burst of speed, came Norm Hardy, Jack. Hardy, Chuck. Barrett, Tom and Gord, Dwight Henderson, Mert Cul- bert and then our latest con- tender, Carol Hardy. If Carol hadn't talked so long to this little bird of hers she could have clocked it sooner and maybe even have pushed Culbert off the twentieth pos- ition. The other race was from Osh- awa. There were 158 birds from six lofts. Mike Culbert went with the truck to Oshawa and let the birds up into a slight overcast sky which turned out to be a nice sunny day before the race was over, The first bird was at the Cul- bert loft at 10:49 a.m. It was figured out it was making 1048.4 yards per minute. Quite close behind this bird was one of Jack Hardy's demons which was making 1047.3 yards per minute. The Culberts were able to pick off third and fourth; then came Clarence Hardy for two positions; then Willy was there for three positions; Tom and Gord were next; then at 11:09 Dwight Hend- erson swung into action. Any birds that were out after noon hour came home with quite a few of their feathers missing from the strong wind. There were a few birds lost last weekend but everyone had better than average returns from both these races, VENFOINCEMOMMISIMENXIME Seeking assistance By FRANCES SAWARD The end of an era means the beginning of another. With the August 1 edition of the T.A., ill-health compelled Miss Lina Abbott to end her long term of service as Lucan's correspond- ent. This week I begin my term. As I have lived only six years in Lucan, I realize I will have difficulty collecting anywhere near Miss Abbott's quota of news, but with her help and the as- sistance of all my friends, I will do my best. When all Church and other activities re-open in September, I do hope that all who would previously have reported to Miss Abbott will call me at 227-451'7 or place their reports in the T-A News Box, just inside the door of the George Young Dry Goods store. I also hope that all residents in Lucan and district will do likewise with Personals" and odd items of news.
