Above, Tim receives his award from club president Willy Vanneste. T-A photo Church did a great job of feeding us once again.They must have a few imports to help them, even so it's hard to believe so many good cooks could come from the same community. I feel sure most of those people will go sailing into Heaven on a pie plate maybe with the ex- ception of Harry Carrol and I leber Davis who will likely go on a motorized crib board. Thanks to such a few is still extended to you by so many. After the dinner there was the presentation of the trophies. It is once again in order to thank all those people who have donated these trophies to our club over the past six years.

Lewis, England's Auto Body, Ken Carter, Don Smith, Alton Isaac, Earl Lippert, Clare Hatt, Shillelagh Motel, Langford Lumber, Empire Wallpaper. Norm Hardy was close behind winning six race trophies along with prizes for the best old bird and the best yearling. Donors were Scott's Elevators, Centralia Farmers, Credit Union, International Harvester, Culbert Decorating, Lucan Produce, Hardy Bros. and Nevin Motors. Harry Winters of Exeter received the largest trophy available from Harry Loyens of Walloy Excavating for winning the race from Tweed. Birds from the Winters loft also captured two Harry Hardy Insurance trophies for races from Kitchener. The Lewis Barber Shop, McLean's Supertest and I.G,A. trophies were won by Clarence Hardy.

After the presentation of the trophies we had a draw for some door prizes. Carol Hardy had spent the last two weeks getting these prizes and wrapping them. All the people in our club owe Carol a lot for the way she worked to make this such a success.

Maybe some day we could afford to do that, but not until they get to sell for less than $9.50 each. Mr. & Mrs. Ross Haugh of the Exeter T-A were there for the l'irst part of the evening. I wanted to have a dance with Mrs. Haugh but Ross is just like a pet squirrel, he will eat and run every time. If there is anyone who was not either praised or criticized in this issue please inform our president and he will help if he can. I am sorry for those who were not able to get tickets, but if the arena board makes the right move there may be room for everyone next year, Thank you all for making it such a successful party, More Lucan News on Page 22 RECEIVES APPOINTMENT R.
