White and pink mums
decorated St. James Anglican
Church, Wallaceburg, November

when the Rev. J. H. Waring

The bride is the daughter of
Mr. & Mrs. Ralph S. Smith,
Wallaceburg, and the groom is

Sterling, Wallaceburg,
Given in marriage by her
father, the bride chose a floor
length A-line gown of white
peau de sole, with high Victorian
neckline and long tapered sleeves
appliqued with lace daisies. The
long detachable train with daisy
trim fell from het shoulders. Her
pearl and crystal headdress
taught a four-tiered illusion veil.
She carried a cascade of red
roses and white mutts.
Miss Brenda Ferris as maid of
honour, and Miss Sharon Smith,
sister of the bride, as bridesmaid,

de sole with floor- length trains
with matching headpieces. They
carried cascades of white mums
tinted with red.
Best man was Brice Denning
of Wallaceburg, and the ushers
were Fred Smith, brother of the
bride, and Brian Sterling,
brother of the groom.
At a reception held in the
church parlors, the mother of
the bride wore a jade green
sheath lace dress with matching
lace coat, feathered hat to match
and a corsage of bronze mums.
She was assisted by the
groom's mother who wore a
two-piece suit of charcoal with
green accessories and corsage of
pink mums.
For a honeymoon trip to
Niagara Falls and United States,
the bride wore a plaid suit with
feathered hat, black patent
accessories and corsage of yellow
mums.
The young couple will reside
in Wallaceburg. Milk gives you everything it promises. and more.
The happy feeling of fitness and well-being,
even beauty, must be encouraged from
within. So what else supplies so much
natural goodness, so much real satisfaction
as milk's beautiful blend for both hunger
and thirst.
You know that milk is an excellent source
of protein, is very generous in the calcium
that contributes to sound bones and teeth.
You are aware that it has such other vital
elements as vitamin A, thiamine and ribo-
flavin, But that's not all.
There are mysterious values in milk that
still remain the secret of
Mother Nature and the
cow herself.Real milk, fresh
natural cow's milk can
never be factory made.
When you measure to-
day's other food and drink
costs, Nature's wonder
fluid is still the great value.

BY HOMER PIGEON
Saturday night was the time
for young and old to gather at
the Shillelagh for an evening of
entertainment and good food. It
was the annual banquet of the
Lucan Homing Club.
I will start as close to the
beginning as possible. About two
weeks ago Lena and Carol Hardy
took on the job of making the
decorations and flowers.
They have worked countless
hours cutting out pigeons. Then
when the tables were set on
Friday evening, they decided
they needed 22 more cards for
the tables. This was not too bad
until they added up and decided
they needed a pigeon on each
side and needed 44 instead of
22.
Needless to say, they called in
some of the junior members who
worked half the night to get
things in shape for the next
evening. Jim and Audrey Scott
should also be mentioned at this
time. It seems they went to
Carol and Frank Hardy's the
other evening and ended up with
Audrey helping Carol make the
lovely flowers, putting them on
trays and into a fridge until the
appointed hour arrived.
Now, Carol is one, who when
given a job makes sure
everything is done just right. She
felt these tender little flowers
should be watered before going
into the fridge. The problem was
watering them without getting
the pretty ribbons wet. This is
where Jim Scott came into the
picture. He took a trusty old
hypodermic needle that Frank
uses on the cattle, filled it with
water and gave each flower a
tender little squirt of life giving
liquid.
We had planned to have the
people all seated by 7 p.m. This
was not accomplished until 20
minutes later. Gee and Marie had
quite a staff on hand and served
us a very lovely dinner in what I
would call a record time. In 14
minutes they served the hot
portion of the meal to 210'
people and had the coffee served
40 minutes later.
After the meal, came the

,
highlight of the evening, The
Paul brothers and Shirley put on
an act that had everybody
laughing so hard, tears came to
their eyes. If Gerry Paul's face
ever froze in some of those
positions he would become an
even better attraction.
I heard it said by many
people that night that this act
alone was worth the price
of the whole admission ticket.
Now, I hope this little plug
doesn't go to their heads and
they charge us more next year.
Mert Culbert was master of
ceremonies for the night. He was
volunteered for this job by the
other club members. He was
heard mentioning to Norm that
if he had to use that little
"mike" people would think he
was talking to his finger and
they would rush him away for a
check-up.
There were some people not
mentioned at the time of
presentations. To you we are
sorry for not giving recognition.
We had some new trophies
this year. One from Scott's
Elevators, Corbett and Young
Sand and Gravel, McFalls
Transport and Walloy
Excavating. These four new
ones, added to our 20 from last
year made a most impressive
Lions listen
to trustee
Lucan Lions Club held their
regular meeting in the Anglican
Church basement last Monday
with 85 per cent attendance.
The guest speaker was Lion
Len Knight of Granton,
chairman of the Interim School
Organization Committee and
president of Middlesex Trustee
and Ratepayers Association. He
is a candidate for Ward 1 which
includes Lucan, Biddulph and
McGillivray, of the new
Middlesex County School Board,
effective January 1, 1969.
He outlined some of the plans
that the new board has, to
improve the educational system.
At the present time, fifty
percent of the tax dollars goes to
education, and while there will
be no more money, it will be
administered by 16 trustees,
instead of 22 school boards. Of
these, 17 are elementary and five
secondary.
Four cities in Ontario are
excluded from the new system,
London, Windsor, Hamilton and
Ottawa.
Middlesex County Trustees
will hire a Director of Education
and a business administrator. It
is expected the new system
could effect a saving of twenty
percent on everyday expenses,
by having one single purchasing
group instead of 22 individual
school boards.
The election for the Ward 1,
trustee will be held on Monday,
December 2, and the elected
candidates will hold their first
meeting in Lucan, Saturday,
December 7.
Young Jeff Young came with
his father Lion Jim Young, and
as Lion Alec Young was also
present, there were three
generations represented.
A Board of Directors'
meeting will be held at Haskett's
Store at 7:30 p.m. November
21.

Once again thanks to all the
trophy donors and we hope
everyone will support their
businesses in the years to come.
The Walley trophy is of such
proportion that we felt we
didn't have a race capable of
handling such a trophy, so we
more or less invented a race to
take place next September.
It will be flown from Tweed,
which is 220 air miles to Lucan.
We are selling bands at one
dollar each and only birds with
these bands on their legs will be
able to take part. These bands
will be sold to anyone that
wants one. We feel it is a good
way to get everybody in the
community interested.
When race time comes next
fall, everyone that haspurchased
a band will be notified from
which loft his birds will fly. The
first position money will be 50%
to owner of the band and 50%,
plus a trophy to the owner of
the bird. The more bands we sell
the more positions we will be
able to pay out. To all you
horsemen these are better odds
than you can get at the track.
We don't intend to make any
money for our club out of this
race but rather sponsor
something that will create
interest in a very sport.
I would like to thank
everyone who helped in any way
and also everyone who came to
our party and made it such a
success. Special thanks to Ross
Haugh, who like any good
reporter, risked his life on those
slippery roads Saturday night to
come to Lucan to get a few
pictures of some very shiny faces
and heads. Thanks again,; if the
Paul brothers come back next
year, you'll have to get your
ticket in July.
