J. H. PATON The Palm Sunday Service had the following readers: Glen Cunningham, Catherine Cun- ningham, Alan Cunningham, Susanne Hill, Maurice Simpson, Joan Cunningham, and Rev. R. Carson. Easter Sunday Communion will be celebrated at 12:30 p.m. The Sunday School will meet during the service. The glory of the Christian faith is that one Man uniquely arose from the• dead to live forever. Jesus was dead, the Roman Soldiers saw to that. He was placed in a tomb, but it couldn't hold him, He arose from the dead. He was seen of many people. So we commemorate His resurrection on Easter Day. Won't you join with us in celebrating the victory of life over death? UNITED CHURCH Rev. W. C. Tupling spoke on 'I Believe in the Triumph of Good,' Sunday. He said that when the people turned against Jesus and he was crucified it looked like the triumph of evil over good. But because Jesus still lives good triumphed over evil, PERSONALS Mr. & Mrs. Wilfred Cun- ningham were visited Sunday by their son and daughter-in-law and family.

I wonder how many of you fell for it. To those of you who did, I must say "Belated April Fool" greetings to you, for if you read the date of the Advocate you will note it was published on April 1st. And, of course, I am referring to the $250,000 Open Dart Tour- nament to be held at Branch 540 on April 17, 1971. The Dart Tournament is fact, it's the amount of the prize money where I tried to fool you. Actually the prize money is $250.00. Sounds like this could be a fun day around Branch 540, where you always expect to find the "Action Set". Just a reminder — April 14, that's this Wednesday night, Branch 540 calls upon all of its members to set aside all else and attend a most important meeting, the nomination of the Comrades whom YOU wish to manage the affairs of your branch of the Royal Canadian Legion for the ensuing twelve months. Branch 540 is growing, Comrades and it is up to YOU as a member to make sure 540 has the best Executive Committee possible. It's difficult for today's teenagers to realize that the old town square was not a person! Branch 540's Saturday Afternoon Dart Club must be paying off. Our Dart team comprising of Gord Elson, Andy McIntyre, Harvey Hillman and Ron Walker (four of 540's finest! ahem!) journeyed to Mount Brydges Legion, Saturday April 3 to participate in the Zone A5 Dart Tournament and qualified to represent, the Lucan Legion in the District A Dart Tournament to be held in the Corunna Branch of the Legion at a date to be announced later. GOOD LUCK, CoMrades, we hope you bring the District A Dart Trophy and the '72 Dart Tournament to Lucan. It just shows you that "practice makes perfect!" I never could understand why folks wait to brag about their hometown until after they move away! The Lucan Legion pee wees are in the Playoffs for the A trophy in the Shamrock league. In the first game last Tuesday they tied Lambeth 4-4. However, our Information about Grandma Burns Does anyone have any in- formation of a Grandma Burns - Mrs. David (Rachel P. Bilyea) Burns, who died at Pomme de Terre, Minnesota, in 1903? There is a picture of her taken in Lucan, and it is not known who she may have been visiting, or if she had any relatives here. If anyone has any information would they please contact your reporter, Mrs. Frances Saward. By MRS. HEBER DAVIS The funeral of the late Gordon F. Washburn, formerly of this community, who passed away at Strathmere Lodge, Strathroy, was held from the Denning Funeral Home, Strathroy. The service was conducted by Rev.
