A gentle reminder — the Provincial Convention of the Royal Canadian Legion will be held May 30-31, June 1-2-3 in the Waterloo Branch of the Canadian Legion. Start making plans to attend. If you cannot take in the full convention, make an attempt to take in a few days of it. You will have the opportunity of meeting comrades from the north, south, east and west of the great province. I don't know of a place I'd rather be, comrades, to coin a phrase. "Don't ask 'what can the Legion do for me' but rather 'What can I do for the Legion' ". It's a great organization, yea, "The Greatest" get in there, comrades, support your branch, your executive, your comrades and the "Fallen". Dates to remember. Thursday nights is BINGO nite at 540 —incidentally the Jackpot looks pretty good and hasn't gone yet! Sat. April 17 — $250.00 Open Dart Mixed Tournament. Wed. Apr. 21 — Zone A5 Meeting, Lucan. And that's thirty for this week! It now looks as though the taxpayer will be the first of America's natural resources to be completely exhausted! Extend French to all grade 8's Pending budget approval, the Middlesex County Board of Education last night decided to extend French language in- struction next fall to all grade 8 classes in the County. At present, French is being taught to over 400 pupils in grade 7 and 8 in Delaware and West- minster Townships. Extension of the second language instruction to about 880 pupils in all other grade 8 classes is expected to have an annual net cost to ratepayers of ap- proximately $11,500. Another special extension approved by the board is the establishment in September 1971 of a school for the trainable retarded as a wing of the A. E, Duffield School in Lambeth. Decision to establish the school, the third in the County system, was prompted by rising costs of purchasing this specialized education from the London Board of Education. The Middlesex Board expects to reduce annual costs by ap- proximately $39,000 with the integrated school wing at Lambeth, Revising its capital building program, the board moved a proposed addition to Medway High School to first priority and an addition to Strathroy District Collegiate Institute to second priority. Both schools will, by Sep- tember 1972, have enrolments much greater than their present rated capacities. The board will also investigate the possibility of establishing a grade 7 to 13 or 8 to 13 program at North Middlesex District High School in Parkhill in September 1972. Plan activities for Centennial The Centennial Committee of Lucan met with representatives from 14 organizations in the community, Wednesday, in the Legion Hall. Many suggestions were made for the celebration which will be held August 23-29. These include a parade, dances, pony races, ball games, beard-growing contest, track and field events, swimming, beef barbecue and a hobby show, and a combined church service on the Sunday. The committee will meet again April 26 at the Legion Hall. Former resident dies in London Amos. R.
