Gibson, road foreman A.W. Thompson and his assistant Doug Johnson, On request, from the local outlet, council decided to send a letter to the LCBO asking them to consider opening the Lucan branch six days per week plus Friday evenings. The store is in a higher sales bracket now and is eligible to stay open the extra day. It is presently closed on Tuesdays . Councillors remarked previously that the Tuesday closed day did not coincide with some of the other stores in town. It was also brought to their at- tention that this would create one more full time job at the liquor store. Council also approved a request from the Lion's Club for a $500 donation to be used at the summer trades fair. Councillors noted that the annual fair brought a great many people to the town, and was one of the only means of advertising the presence of Lucan on the map. Councillor Harry Wraith said that the service club receives considerable worth from the use of the arena and grounds during the time of the fair, and suggested that it maybe should put some money back into the grounds. There was little further discussion on the matter. }On behalf of —the -Ausable Conservation Authority, Reeve Ivan Hearn quizzed the council on the need for more parkland near the village. He said the authority was considering more land and wondered if councillors thought there was a need for it. Councillor William Mathers said he thought that if there more facilities, more people would use them. "It only takes some grass a few trees and some water to attract them", Councillor Clifford Abbott said that in the future, land might be much harder to get, and would probably be needed more. He thought the authority should take advantage of the opportunity if they had a chance to purchase some land. The reeve informed council that the authority has no definite plans yet, but are trying to figure out what could be done. Mr. & Mrs. Eldon Young and Mr. & Mrs. Larry Lewis have returned from a trip to Florida. They visited Mrs Young's brother, Manford Belling at Datona Beach. They also called on Mr. & Mrs. Cecil Lewis at Port St. Lucy, then travelled on to Orlando and home.

Dead elms to live on The woocilot on the farm of Al Cocquyt at Edgewood was the scene of a beehive of work as members of the Lucan-Biddulph branch of the Cancer Society, assisted by members of the Junior Farmers, hauled foot-long blocks of wood to the edge of the bush on Highway 7. Saturday afternoon, The wood was the result of this years winter works program, elm tree removal, and was donated by Mr. Cocquyt to be sold and proceeds donated to Cancer Society. Two bulldozers operated by Jim Young and his son Jeff were kept busy hauling the wood blocks to the edge of the bush. The service, was donated by Mr, Young without charge. Those volunteering their labour were; Wes Stanley, Ron White, Wilf Riddell, Mike O'Shea, Bob McRoberts, Jeff Bryan, Carl Dunlop, Ralph Simons, Al Cocquyt, Gary Maslen; and Len Maslen. The wood will be sold March and it is the hope of the Cancer Society that the "dead elms" will live on in the form of money donated to the society for further research into a cure for cancer. Four of the five accidents in- vestigated this week by officers of the Lucan Ontario Provincial Police detachment took place Thursday and two were at the same location within a minute of each other. Bales of hay which had fallen from an unknown vehicle on highway 7, just east of the Granton road were responsible for the two mishaps.

Only moments later a tractor trailer driven by Donald Allen, RR 3, Streetsville came in con- tact with another hay bale. The only damage was a broken fuel line, Constable L.L. Denny in- vestigated.

Constable W.J. Wicks listed total damage at $450. The other accident Thursday was at 12.15 a.m. and involved only one vehicle.
