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. 044- 0 -Is THE ONTARIO MILK MARKETING BOARD for tho Dairy' tanners of 'Ontario Page 18 Times-Advocate, November 21 1968 Correspondent; Mire, Frances Saward 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 11111 iiiii 1 iiiii 11 vi 11 llllllllll 11 llllllll 11111111 llllllllll 11111 Lucan personals 1 1 111111111111 1 llllllllllllllll lllll 11 llllll 11 111111111 1111111 Mr. & Mrs. Keith Kraul entertained 18 guests from London in honour of Mr, & Mrs. Lee Simpson of Winnipeg Saturday night.

A zone Meeting of the Lions Club was held at the Lucan Legion Hall with zone Chairman, Lion'Joe KOvacs in the chair, There were 15 Lion§ in attendance, one front 11dertoli, three from ML Bridges, three 'frotn Parkhill, three froth L T ions horndale, and five Lticati , 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. display in C. Haskett and Sons window, 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. Phone 227,4517 Former .resident dies in accident Mrs, Edward E.
