Court House Squa t-1 .‘1,, Ave. By SID DALEY Comrades, 1971 should prove to be a most exciting year for Lucan, this being our CEN- TENNIAL YEAR and all Lucanites are urged to start thinking 'Centennial' and come up with their ideas on how best to celebrate this momentous oc- casion. Our Reeve, Comrade Ivan Hearn, along with his council, is calling a community meeting at the Legion Hall for Tuesday, March 30 at 8:00 p.m. to discuss Lucan's Centennial and to get the feeling of all Lucanites on how best to celebrate it. It is hoped that the youth of Lucan will also become involved and make their ideas known. So let all Lucanites, young and old alike, get totally involved in Lucan's 100th birthday and together make this occasion long to be remembered. We can do It, folks. For a start don't forget the Community Centennial Meeting, March 30 at 8: 00 p.m. sharp at the Lucan Legion Hall. Everybody welcome. DAD, here's a date you must remember — April 23— for this is the night that you take your son to the dinner at the annual father and son banquet at the Legion Hall. Here is where the presentation of awards is made and I understand this year a most interesting guest speaker will be in attendance. All hockey players are urged to advise their coaches as soon as possible and let them know if they will be attending. This is the night your son has been waiting for, Dad, don't disappoint him. Be Snowmobilers look for snow By SUE EDGINTON The Lucan area snowmobile club welcomes back its president, Cec Lewis, and his wife from their vacation in Florida. Although Cec was unable to attend our Sunday run I noticed he was out getting the feel of our great winter's sport again, even though there was not much snow in Clandeboye. The members were forced to move out of Lucan once again in search of snow. An enjoyable day was had by all at Lakeside at Wildwood Park. After a full day of snowmobiling the club had dinner at a near by restaurant before returning home to snowless Lucan. Remember there is a mem- bership meeting every Wed- nesday night at 9:00 sharp at the Ariens room at the Shillelagh. sure to make it a date and BRING not SEND your son to the banquet. Our Midget team was put out of the playoffs and their hockey is over for this year. However, our bantam anu pee wees are still in there and go into a 2 out of 3 finals in the Shamrock League. Why not attend the games, folks and support these future N.H.L.'ers. Don't forget the draw for the Cellerette, valued at $300.00 will be held on March 27. Remember the entire proceeds is for the purchase of jackets for our hockey and baseball teams. One of the most important occasions on the Legion calendar is upon us, Comrades, and that is the nomination and election of a strong executive to govern your Legion for the ensuing year. Your next Legion meeting April 14, is nomination meeting and it is hoped that now having over 100 members 540 will see some new faces on the executive. Remember the date, comrades April 14, 8:30 p.m. sharp. Make it a point to attend. Then the following meeting, May 12, will be the election of officers. Keep these important dates open, Comrades. Make your wishes known by your nomination and ballot. Comrade Carl O'Stuckless (honorary Irishman) advises the tickets for the St. Patrick's Day celebrations to be held, Saturday, March 20 are going real well and to avoid disappointin' your pretty Colleen make sartin to get in touch with Smilin' Carl soon. Oi 'tis shapin' up to be a loin celebration. Rememberin' now, we'll not be thinkin' kindly if yu foil to check your shillelagh prior to enterin' in on the celebratin. Toim is runnin' out, me lads. Don't forget now, O'Stuckless is the only lad with tickets for sale.

Former resident passes away , Mrs. Emerson (Doris) Hodgins died in Victoria Hospital, March 14, 1971. Beside her husband she is survived by three children, Robert, Laurel and Nancy. A private funeral service was held in the Evans Funeral Home with interment in St. James Cemetery, Clandeboye. 94th birthday is celebrated Mrs. B.

Daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. William Elliott of Lucan, Mrs. Abbott was born in Orono, Ontrario, moving to the Lucan district at the age of 14. She married the late Mr. Abbott of RR 1 Lucan in 1900, and they made their home in Lucan until 1928 when they moved to London. Mr. Abbott passed away in 1953. Mrs. Abbott has one daughter, Mrs. Howard Cranston, two' grandchildren, and three great- grandchildren. Mr. and Mrs. Cranston are at present making their home with Mrs. Abbott. Among the many relatives and friend's who called on Mrs. Abbott to offer their congratulations and best wishes, was her 84-year-old sister, Mrs. C. W. Thompson, of Thamesford. In spite of her 94 years Mrs. Abbott is still enjoying good health and has never lost her sense of humour. Lions club hears speaking champ Lucan and District Lions Club regular meeting was held Monday at Holy Trinity Church with 85 percent attendance. The highlight of the meeting was a talk on Enthusiasm. This inspiring message was presented by Diane Walker of Thorndale. Miss Walker is the Junior Farmers' provincial public speaking champion. Her talk so inspired the Lions that they went out after the meeting and had a successful canvass for the Red Cross. Miss Walker was introduced by Mike O'Shea of Biddulph Town- ship, who is a provincial director of Junior Farmers. She was thanked by Lion Rev. Bill Tupling and presented with a clip and certificate of appreciation. It was also announced that the Lucan Lions Club will be the sole distributors in Lucan and Bid- dulph of tickets for the Parkhill lottery. There were two guests present, Paul Dykeman and Don Leitch, both of Lucan. In the absence of president Gordon Brooks, vice president Jim Shipley was in charge of the meeting. Learning for Lent services continue Learning for Lent continued in the Lucan United Church Wed- nesday morning with A. M. Webster leading discussion in one interest group on the subject of Banking. Mr. Webster is manager of the Lucan branch of the Bank of Montreal. The other interest group was led by Ben Hoogenboom, of Exeter Flowers, who demon- strated the basics of flower arrangement, for amateurs. The two arrangements were donated to the group. Later one was presented to the mother present with youngest infant in nursery — and the other with birthday nearest to our meeting day. Mrs. Robert Woodward and Mrs. E. Butchart were the winners. The visitation and coffee break was a time to enjoy refreshments prepared and served by Mrs. A. Kernick and Mrs. R. Taylor. Mrs. J. Lockyer and Mrs. T. Noyes were kept busy in the infant and toddler nursery while Mrs. G. Rees and Mrs. G. Juergens helped older pre- schoolers with several activities. Mrs. R. Engel took some pic- tures. Mrs. W. C. Tupling continued the study book. It now seems evident Evangelism includes a every large scope and is the task of both minister and congregation, with social service carried over into many service clubs. There will be no meeting on March 24 and the final one will be March 31. Sunshine club Twenty-two members of the Sunshine Club met in the Masonic Hall, Thursday. Five tables played euchre.
