The new Bonds have fourteen regular annual interest coupons which can be cashed each year as they come due, The first pays 5.75%; the second, 6.50%; thd next three, 6.75% each, and the last nine a big 7.00% each. Total regular annual interest amounts to $95.50 on each $100 Bond. If you choose you may hold all these regular annual interest coupons uncashed until your Bond matures, If you do, you will then get interest on your intere.si totalling art additional $54.50 on each $100 Bond. At maturity, therefore, you can get back total interest of $150 plus your original $100 investment, This way each $100 Canada Savings Bond becomes worth $250.

However I must state at this time that what you are about to read is history. I am very sorry I could not get the last three pigeon races reported due to the fact my birds were so far behind the rest it made the tears come to my eyes and I couldn't write. However, late as I may be be, we want you to know how the 1968 race season ended. The big Tweed futurity race which was flown by 390 birds from South Western Ontario was looked after at the Lucan Club by Jack Hardy. He is now referred to around here as Tweedy Hardy, as he has won this race three years in a row. Seven minutes later Willy Vanneste swung' into action. He looked after 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6th positions then Jack had another little shot at things with 7, 8, 9th. Willy not one to be out done by anyone was right there again for 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14th. Jack was still able to clock one more for 15th and they left the 16th money for poor old Uncle Clarence Hardy. Clarence still maintains he would have had a better position if his cane hadn't got caught in the door of Mrs. Charles Cunningham, Clinton, has been visiting with Mrs. Guy Ryan for some weeks, and was a visitor at the Women's Institute meeting and the CWL Bazaar. Mrs. Earl Young, Gordon Young and Mrs. Jean Cunningham were guests Saturday at the wedding of Joan Huibers and Donald Blake at the Church of St. Mary of the Assumption, in St. Catharines, and at the reception following at the Holiday Inn. The groom is a nephew of Mrs. Young. Mrs. Katherine Fischer was a guest at a wedding shower for Miss Margaret Rose Stanlake at Mrs. William Fischer's home at Komoka. Mr. and Mrs. Ron Crozier and Mr, and Mrs, David Maynard visited Mrs, A.1. Crozier at Kingston General Hospital, Sunday. Mrs. Katherine Fischer visited Mr. and Mrs. Tommy Thompson and family, for the weekend in London. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Meuller, Waterford, visited Mr, and Mrs, Ron Crozier. Debbie and Michael who had been staying the Weekend, returned to their home. Mr. and Mrs. Ray Fischer, London, were Monday afternoon visitors of Mrs. Katherine Fischer.

Garrett of London last Wednesday. Mrs. Sheridan Revington spent last Friday with her mother, Mrs, Harry McFalls of London. Mrs. Eldon Hodgson was a Sunday dinner guest of Mr. and Mrs. Aljoe Culbert. Mr. and Mrs. Eric Hodgins were among those who attended an Orange Lodge Service at Blyth Sunday where the guest speaker was the Rev. R.A. Carson of Lucan. Mrs. Gordon Whitehead, who underwent surgery in St. Joseph's Hospital, is able to be home. Many win prizes at church bazaar Lucan, St, Patrick's CWL fall bazaar was held in Lucan Arena Friday evening with a good attendance. The transistor radio was won by Margaret . Kelly, the portable mixer by Andy Harrigan, the battery-powered lantern, by Jerry Harrigan, Kitchener, the money tree by Ann Crunican and the doll by Father Bricklin. The bake table which is always a big attraction, was in the charge of Mrs, Joe Whelihan, Mrs, James O'Shea,_ Mrs. Will McLaehlin and. Mrs. James Blake. Mrs.s, Vincent O'Shea had charge of the candy table, and the country store was in the ',finds of Mrs. John Leyens. There was knitting and fancy needlework as well as plain sewintables with many helpers, The children's table, fish pond and penny sale were in the charge Of Patricia 'Egan. Mrs. John Boland took Money for the penny table and draw, and Mrs. Cliff O'Neill was in charge of the kitchen, some of the soup". (Prize money that is.) Jack Hardy got 7th, Norm 8th. Then Jack was 9th, Clarence 10th, Norm 11th and Jack 12. Clarence took 13th and 14th. You could say after Willy and Chuck took the first six positions the Hardy Brothers looked after the next eight positions. One thing I will say for those boys, they at least took turns taking the money. Next week I hope to be able to finish my report on the Oshawa race and maybe fill you in on some of the banquet particulars. It will be at the same place, with a few added frills this year, Please ask the club member you saw last year for your tickets. As soon as Clarence Haskett gets home from the hospital I must ask him if we can put the trophies in his store window.

Hot Turkey Dinner Linen Anglican Church Basement Wed., Oct. 30 5 to 8 p.m. Adults $2.00 Children under 12 yrs. .75 cents Sponsored by the Ladies Guild the house as he ran for the loft. Now, after all the money was taken, along came the lovely lads who helped make this purse as big as it was, Mert Culbert, Chuck Barrett, Dwight Henderson, Norm Hardy and the T and G loft. Thus ended the big Tweed futurity with two of the boys being able to look after everyone else. Now the next big race was from Smith Falls, 300 miles for our young birds. These birds had to fly on a hot, humid day into a slight head wind. The birds were released at 8 a.m. in Smith Falls and the first bird was home at 4:51. It was travelling 977.1 yards per minute, which is a very good speed under such conditions. Willy Vanneste had the first three birds in this order, 4.51.54 sec., 4.51.58 sec., and 4.52.55 sec. There wasn't another bird into Lucan until 5.22 which made Willy out in front of us so far we sort of figured we were in a race of our own and Willy was just clocking his against himself. Willy likes to see how fast he can clock his birds. His own personal record I think is three birds in eight seconds. Chuck Barrett was able to pick off 4th, 5th and 6th. This was a new record for Chuck at the 300.
