separate school supporters, farm
and residential rate 89.5 mills;

For those who may not have
heard, Lucan is again forming a
Junior "D" Hockey team. This is
a class of players from age
16-20, and it is this brand of
hockey that has been missed for
about 8-10 years in our
community.
Two meetings have been held
at the Lucan Arena, and at the
first one, an executive was
formed.
Jim Freeman, long associated
with minor hockey in town, and
one of the most avid supporters
of Junior hockey, has accepted
the position of manager. A
six-man committee of Bill Neil,
Gord Barker, Keith Kraul, Bob
Anderson, Bob Taylor and
Bernard Benn was appointed.
A suggestion from Mr.
Freeman to the effect that the
club be named the Lucan Irish
Six was unanimously accepted,
and Harvey Langford, Lucan's
"Mr, Hockey" was appointed
Honorary President.
One other note of interest
dealing with the first meeting,
was that Larry Hotson agreed to
do the secretarial work of the
new club. This is a very
important aspect for a new
organization.
At the second meeting, Mr.
Freeman came up with some
figures on how much it would
cost to set up our Junior "D"
club. These figures were
obtained from the Lambeth
"Flyers" Junior Club, which
started last year, and gave a
rough idea how much would be
needed for the first year,
Also discussed at the meeting
were ways to raise money for
the team. No definite plans were
made. A meeting in the future
has been called for all the
prospects of the hockey club
and it is hoped at that time to
solve some problems.
This is a very important time
in life for the boys who will

Even at $1969,it's not cheap.
There's no question we could make it
cheap.
We
w
could cut our number of inspectors
from 8,000 to 4,000,
Arid get rid of the 560 inspectors we
employ to inspect the inspectors.
We could cut the amount of point we
use in half. (From 12 pounds to 6.)
We'd definitely stop rejecting 30% of
the Volkswagens we turn out every day.
And probably we'd drop the standards
we set for our suppliers down to a normal
human level.
In fact, if we really went the whole
route, we could possibly turn out a small
car not much different than anybody else's
small car.
And the thought has crossed our minds.
But somewhere along the line it
was rejected:
