ASK/TT HELP WANTED Perchance it was the over 90 degree temperature. Perchance the high humidity or the "Let George do it" attitude. Whatever the cause, not one person - no not one - put a news item in the T-A News Box, just inside the George Young Dry Goods store last week. Each time, Mrs. Saward checked the box it was as bare as Mother Hubbard's cupboard, and she was most discouraged. The former correspondent felt the heat too - but sick as I am, I managed to contribute at least 20 pages each of the two weeks, as well as assisting Mrs. Seward with her items, I feel am not asking too much 'to request all subscribers to either put news items in the box or phone Mrs. Saward direct. We don't want "Lucan News" to die. I haven't sold my house yet, but if and when I do, I'll be so hold the Sunday School picnic at Lucan Conservation Park. UNITED The Rev. Hugh C.

By HOMES., 'WHOM Back in the early 1950's, NormHardy used to win just about any race he,took a liking to. They tell me it got so bad at one time, some or the guys would inst hand him their money before the race Started. He was known near and far as "Scoop Hardy", Well Scoop is at it again. l ast weekend we had two races, one from Oshawa and one from Peterborough. Norm hasn't flown just up to, his old form at all this year, that is until last Saturday when he swept in With a great blast and took both races with very little competition from any of the rest of us. I was a bit late getting to the club house on Saturday evening. They had all the clocks figured outwhen I got there. I didn't have to ask who wpn. I just had to look. There he sat with such a grin on his face he couldn't even keep the cigar in his teeth. Congratulations Norm. It's a darn poor club that doesn't let the president win once in a while. In the Oshawa race Norm had his first bird at 11 minutes after 12. He had his second one at 13 minutes after 12 to take second position too, Then at 14 minutes after, Jeff Culbert got one to be third. Chuck Barrett had a bird in early to get fourth, then at 12.34 Willy VanneSte got his Bo( One for ,fifth in our 043. Sixth Went to Clarence Hardy and Mert Culbert was right behind him for seventh.. Then came T&G loft, Carol, Dwight and Ball ,Enhis. The second half of the daily double was much the same as the first. Norm had the first Peterborough bird, at 11.25. Big brother Jack was in at 11.26 to take second PoSitiOn, then Chuck. Barrett tinned on a burst of speed to be third and fourth, Willy was up to his old tricks again. He gets a great flock home all at once while every one else is glad to see one, He picked off fifth, sixth and seventh. Chuck was able to get in again for eighth, then Jack Hardy had two more hpme for ninth and tenth, Clarence looked after the eleventh position just to make sure he had the last dollar, Then came Dwight. Henderson., Mert Culbert and T&G loft. It was just about a perfect day for a race and Norm showed us how to fly a just about perfect race. Norm's mother told me she was so glad to see him win these two races, as he is such a fine lad and has worked so hard. This is a mother's opinion and not necessarily that of the Lucan Homing Club. With this Peterborough win goes the Langford Lumber trophy. V.S, I forgot to mention we had Bob Watsen down to' the club house a couple of weeks ago, He used to fly pigeons years ago but now lives in winniPeg.
