Are weeds choking your corn?
KIL-MOR/BANVELf 3**
gives outstanding weed control in corn
KIL-MOR contains three herbicides: Dicamba, Mecoprop and 2,4-D.
It positively controls hard-to-kill, deep-rooted perennials in addition to
all 2,4-D susceptible weeds. KIL-MOR takes care of all your "tough
weed" problems—gives excellent kill of field bindweed, Canada thistle
(repeat applications), perennial sow thistle, wild buckwheat, smartweeds,
velvet-leaf, chickweeds, corn spurry, cow cockle and many others.
KIL-MOR is a safe, easy-to-spray amine formulation for post-
emergence application. It does not injure corn when used accord-
ing to directions and will leave no soil residue.
For better weed control, higher yields and more profit, try KIL-MOR.
It not only makes harvesting easier, but pays for itself many times over.
In fact, only one bushel per acre yield increase will pay for
the cost of the KIL-MOR you use.

Joyce was baptized at St. James
Church, Clandeboye. Godparents
were Mr. and Mrs. Fred Gibson of

Rev. R. Carson preached on
the Commonwealth. He pointed
out that we are now in the fourth
British Empire and
Commonwealth and said the
reason the Empire has risen and
fallen so many times is that there
is a rot in the Commonwealth and
he believed this was caused by the
indifference of the people who
don't understand our heritage.
Mr. Carson said universities,
colleges and schools are full of
teachers who are failing to teach
the fundamental factors of our
heritage which stated are the
Crown, the Bible and the family.
Our society is built on the
foundations of the past. When we
destroy the foundation the
superstructure falls.
The minister said he believed
the Commonwealth should have
free trade, and free movement of
people regardless of race or creed
within the Empire. He pointed
out that Canada's surplus of
wheat and eggs and land could be
reduced if we shared them with
the Commonwealth countries.

By SID DALEY
The Lucan Canadian Legion
sponsored hockey teams
(Shamrock Hockey Association)
annual windup Father and Son
banquet held in the Lucan Legion
Memorial Banquet Hall,
Saturday, May 23 was a
tremendous success. Due to
circumstances beyond control
there was no banquet or
presentation last year, therefore
this one was in effect a dual effort
for the awarding of the most
valuable player awards for both
seasons 1968-69 and 1969-70. It
might be of interest to say at this
time that no-one at the banquet
knew who the recipient of the
most valuable player awards
would be, not even the coaches or
managers, as the choices were
made by an independent panel of
judges and from the response
following each presentation I
would say that the selections
were most accurate and met with
100 percent approval.
In the absence of their regular
flamboyant MX Comrade Bill
Smith, who unfortunately had a
previous appointment, it became
my privilege and pleasure to act
and it was a thrilling experience
to observe these future N.H.L.'ers
and their fathers as they waited in
anticipation the announcement
of the individual awards.
1 9 6 8- 6 9 winners were:
Midget, Most valuable player,
Mike Anderson, most improved
player, Jim Hearn; Bantam, most
valuable player, Brad England;
Pee Wee, most valuable player,
Randy English; Novice, most
valuable player, Jim Benn, Cecil
Nickles; Best goaltender, Kevin
Lightfoot.
1 9 6 9 -7 0 winners were:
Midget, most valuable players Jim
Macklem and Steve English;
Bantam, most valuable player,
Ronald Funston; Pee Wee, most
valuable player, Martin Wraith;
Novice, most valuable player,
Rick Freeman; Best Goaltender,
Kevin Lightfoot.
Other highlights of the evening
was the presentation of trophies
to the 1968-69 Ontario Novice
Provincial Zone Champions — the
presentation of crests to all the
players, coaches and managers by
the President of Branch 540
Comrade Jack Elson and finally
the presentation of a film entitled
`The First Half Century of the
N.H.L.' courtesy of Molsons.
At this time Branch 540 takes
the opportunity to say thanks to
the coaches, managers and all
those involved for the fine work
they are doing for our young.
Thanks also to the devoted ladies
of the Auxiliary for the lovely
banquet and I know that the
young hockey players in
attendance would like me to say
on their behalf 'Thank you Dad

for remembering and coining to

you are swell.'
Would you believe if I told you
that Branches of the Legion in the
Province of Ontario last year
spent $224,617 in programs for
our youth in which 36,799
participated. How's that for
community effort. Just another
reason why we should receive the
continued support of all
ex-service personnel. If you are
not a member of our organization
I urge you to join the greatest —
on the other hand if you are a
member and haven't paid your
dues to date — I have news for
you —we need you Comrade—so
pay up and keep active.

Mrs. Dale Froats held a
miscellaneous shower at the

teaching at Lucan Public School.
Horseshoes anyone? Don't
forget to attend the open
horseshoe tournament to be held
in Lu can on June 14. Remember
you don't have to be a member of
the Legion to participate.
Incidentally, I overheard
members of the Legion Executive
talking the other night and I
understand there will be steaks
for those that wish them along
with hamburgers and hotdogs for
the children. From all reports it
should be quite an affair.
June 6 is fast approaching,
Comrades and on this day we are
looking forward to playing host
to our Comrades of World War I.
We have quite a program lined up
as nothing is too good for our
guests of honor. See you there
Comrades.
And that's 30 for this week —
remember — It is harder to be a
good winner than a good loser —
one has less practice.
