Hugh Toohey, 72, and his
wife Julia, 66, RR 3, Lucan were
killed Sunday morning when
their car collided with another
vehicle as the Motleys came out
of their driveway,
The Toohey car was coming
out of the laneway on the east
side of highway 23 when it was
struck broadside by a
northbound vehicle driven by
Ralph Leuzler of London.
They were pronounced dead
at the scene by coroner Dr, R. S.
Shearer, London and D. J.
As we enter a new year, we
would like to take you back for
a moment to recall some of the
highlights of 1968.
Possibly most people would
consider the Mail Strike, from
July 17 to August 8, was one of
the most important happenings,
and that it would have
inconvenienced most people.
The people of Lucan were most
fortunate, as the Post Office was
not closed, and local mail was
available as usual. London and
Exeter papers were brought in
by truck.
For a Centennial project the
Lucan Lions Club had renovated
the old ball diamond on Beech
Street, and it is now kept in
condition for use of picnics, as
well as ball games.
This year the World War I
German gun, which had been
presented to Lucan, was cleaned,
and moved, by the Lions Club to
a place of honour on the ball
diamond, now re-named
"Centennial Park."
The new Montreal Bank
building was at last completed,
giving a much improved look to
Main Street.
It was with much regret that
the people of Lucan learned that
the Rev. E. 0. Lancaster and the
Rev. G. W. Sach, were to leave
Lucan. The Rev. R. A. Carson
B.A., L.Th., took Mr.
Lancaster's place at Holy Trinity
Church, and the Rev. W. C.
Tupling B.A., B.D., S.T.M. took
Rev. Sach's at the Lucan United
Church.

with red sleds containing grapes,
oranges, apples and Santa Claus.
At each plate was a paper cup
filled with candy.
A fruit drink, turkey,
cranberries, turnips, and plum
pudding were served. It was all
very good but nothing like the
big dinners back home, where
everybody had second and third
helpings of all sorts of goodies.
Before Christmas, many
church groups entertained us in
the auditorium with Christmas
programs. The Salvation Army
not only put on a program but
also, gave each resident a gift of
oranges, apples, tangerines,
grapes, chocolate bars, raisins
and candy.
On December 20 we had our
own Christmas party with a
splendid program followed by a
Christmas tree and St. Nick.
(Mrs. McFarlane's gift was a nice
pin and mine a pair of nylons.)
I have me; in with a number
of bridge players, so have
enjoyed some good, games since
coming in December 4.
Everyone is very friendly and
seldom discuss aches and pains.
Personally I feel the McCormick
Home is a wonderful place, if
you have no one to look after
you and you are unable to
longer face the responsibilities of
looking after a large home.
Emery of the Lucan OPP
detachment was the investigating
officer.
Damages to the two vehicles
totalled $3,000.
Mr. Toohey is survived by
brothers Patrick and Tim, both
of Biddulph Township, and
James (Brother Anthony) of
New Melleroy, Des Moines,
Iowa; and sisters Mrs. Bridget
Lamphier, and Loretta (Sister
Regina) of St. Joseph's Order,
both of London,
Mrs. Toohey, the former Julia
which had so nearly collapsed,
took on a new lease of life under
the leadership of Mrs. Frank
Hardy Sr.
Many groups participated in
sponsored walks during the year.
Medway students walked 14
miles from Lucan to Medway, to
raise money for the "Bunny
Bundle". The girls of the
Lucan-Clandeboye C.G.I.T.
walked from Granton to Lucan,
for Church funds, and not to be
outdone by the young people
the members of the "Tops" Club
walked from Lucan to
Clandeboye, and back, for
funds.
Cupid was not idle as there
were no less than twenty
weddings during the year.
It is regretted that four
Lucanites met their deaths in
traffic accidents, one being a
young mother and another a
boy.
Lucan Fire Department was

service, under the direction of

year of theology at Iluron
College and is a native of Nassau

formerly worked for the
Government of the Bahamas and

school in Nassau. The
congregation will be given an
opportunity to ask questions
and learn more about the
country from which he comes.
Two choirboys from Lucan's
Holy Trinity Church, Peter and
Jeff Culbert were chosen to
participate in a week-long
training program arranged and
sponsored by St. Paul's Anglican
Cathedral of London, the
Cathedral's organist and
choirmaster, Malcolm Wechsler,
being in charge.
The boys assembled at Gorrie,
December 30. Arrangements had
been made for them to be
billeted in homes for the week.
Assisting Mr. Wechsler in the
training program were Edward
Reid, assistant organist at the
cathedral, and Peter Sims, who is
in the men's and boy's choirs at
St. Pauls.
Rev. Harold Jenkins, rector of
the parish of Gorrie and
Fordwich, was chaplain.
The boys showed the results
of their week's training Sunday
in carol services at St. Stephen s
Anglican Church in Gorrie, and
Trinity Anglican Church at
Fordwich.
When they were not required
to practice, there was organized
sleigh-riding, skating, bowling
etc. including a New Year's
Party. They even had their own
little newspaper.
It was a very special week for
the 24 choir boys.

Lucan is almost bursting at
the seams, as every house and
apartment is occupied, and all
the stores on Main Street are
open for business.
Several new houses were
erected during the year, and
more are at present under
construction. It would appear
that the houses of the new
sub-division will not be ready
prematurely to the need.
morning service was in the
charge of the Rev. R. W. Scott
of London, in the absence of the
Rev. W. C. Tupling.
His sermon, "Divine Provision
