"LiFEGUARP" by Alf Williams As you mount the chair You murmur a prayer "Please God let nothing happen That may dampen Their fun without care". Look out kid! Oops, you almost did . , . My what a heat! Isn't that swimsuit neat? Should I throw him out? No he did not mean , , Hey that's a good member For my Swimming Team! Who is she? "Yes, was it he"? "Pushed you in you say"! It sure is a beautiful day. "OUT OF THE DEEP END"! Look at that diving board bend Will this shift ever end? It's lonely up here It's lonely up here The end must be near. "DON'T DO THAT" ! Would you please get me a hat? Don't use language like that There's a kid crying Why is everyone yelling?

Car strikes culvert AN EXCITING DAY Tuesday was a big day for hundreds of youngsters making their first trip to school, Kindergarten pupils carried placards with their names attached. Shown above is a group of eager boys and girls at Lucan Public School with teachers Mrs. Fred Berdan and Mrs. Clarence Hardy. T-A photo Connection permit needed for all sewer installations by a vehicle driven by Mary Elizabeth Edwards, RR 6 Chatham, The accident occurred in the Luean Legion parking lot and was investigated by Constable J. A. Wilson. Monday night at 9:15 vehicles driven by Alexander S. MacBeth, 88 Sanders street west, Exeter and Kathleen McWhitter, Brussells collided on highway 4, south of London township Con- cession road 8-9. Damages totalled $2,225 in six accidents investigated this week by officers of the Lucan detach- ment of the Ontario Provincial Police. The most extensive .damage was inflicted Sunday evening when a vehicle driven by Joseph Manzara, 95 Bruce street, London struck a culvert on high- way 4, north of Middlesex County road 24. Manzara was attempting to pass a vehicle which speeded up and he was forced to the ditch to avoid an oncoming vehicle, Constable W. R. Disher estimated damages at $1,000. Two pedestrians, Larry Charles Gibson and Daniel Robert Gibson suffered only minor injuries early Sunday morning when they were struck Pe/ma:44 Girls team in playoff When the last week at the pool Started off, the weather was normal and the staff thought that things would be on the slack side. However, someone had other ideas, and instead of having things a bit quieter, we were faced with the largest crowds ever! There is only one place to spend hot muggy days and that is under water. As early as one o'clock in the afternoon, (the pool opens at 2) kids could be seen wending their way towards the arena, some on bicycles, many slowly walking along, in groups, or singly, with the familiar bundle tucked away under one arm — poor swim suits they never get a chance to dry off! The door opens — "Finally"! — 20 voices yell in chorus. Then with hat in hand and whistle dangling from that worn-out string, you make your way to the lifeguard chair and you are splashed by the odd kid, but it feels good. Once on the chair, the heat seems much greater than on the deck and the sun's rays are reflected from the hundreds of ripples made in the water by glistening bodies darting around in all directions — left, right, up and down. What a beautiful sight! All imaginable colors are there, and many varied sounds as well. Shouts of joy, gentle words of encouragement as a mother tries to persuade her little two-year- old, the loud rattle of the diving board, the hushed murmurs of the group lying on the deck near the chair, the screams of fear as someone is about to be grabbed layer of calcium when the weather conditions are suitable. It was also decided to set specific terms for members of the Planning Board, and to stagger the terms of the four members of the board. Two men will be reappointed for a one-year term at the end of this year, and two for a two-year term. Council was also told that there is again some problem of van- dalism with regard to the gar- bage pails which hang on the lamp-posts. They decided the only way to prevent the van- dalism was to keep a close eye out for the vandals and to make examples of them when caught. Bills and accounts totalling $4,084.51 were approved. Constable W, ft. Disher listed damages at $900. About two hours earlier, Constable G. J, Barker in- vestigated a mishap on Adelaide street at Concession 8 in London township. Damages were estimated at $150. Drivers of the vehicles involved were Ricky Allen Kennedy, 471/2 Byron Avenue east, London and Don Vernon Dobbs, 4155 James street, Petrolia, Thursday night a vehicle driven by Joan Brennan, 149 Baffin road, London was damaged to the extent of $150 when it struck a farm fence on highway 4, south of Huron County road 21. The Brennan vehicle was forced into the ditch to avoid another vehicle. The in- vestigating officer was Constable D. R. Vance. Wednesday morning at St. Bernard dog owned by Don Riley of Main street, Lucan was struck by a vehicle driven by Heinz Von Aderhas, 122 Regent, London when it attempted to cross the highway. The dog was not seriously in- jured and the vehicle was damaged to the extent of $50. Constable J. A. Wilson in- vestigated. Anniversary couple feted Lucan's team in the'Ailsa Craig and District Women's Softball League met Ailsa Craig, on their diamond Wednesday in the first game of the play-offs, winning by 22 to 12. The lassies lost by one run in a return game here on Friday for a score of 18 to 17, The series is for the best three out of five with the next home game in on Lucan's diamond Friday. In the recreation league, the standings are as follows, with play-offs commencing this week: first place, Firemen; second, Walloy-Hearn; third, Midgets; fourth, J J. Plumbing; fifth, I.G.A., — sixth, Lions Club; doesn't have to pay the $25 fee if he installs a sewer for his own home, but if he does more than one home, he must pay the $25 fee. In other business, council received tenders on the former fire hall on Main St. No final decision was made, pending a meeting with each of the bidders. Council decided that if they have enough money in the streets account, it might be beneficial to use their own manpower to work on the Chestnut St. drain, They are to contact the village engineer to work on plans for the drain, and to see how the account stands after the total cost of the work on Market St. has been computed. Reeve Hearn told council that county council turned down his request to build the sidewalk from 114 to 104 Alice St. They decided to investigate other possible means of building the sidewalk. If this cannot be done economically at the present time, however, it was suggested that the area should be seeded with grass right to the curb. Councillors reported that they have received several complaints about dust in various areas of town. The town foreman was thus instructed to put down another The problem of certain people not taking out permits for sewer installation and connection was raised at the Lucan council meeting again Tuesday night. It was noted that some people are getting away without having to pay the $25 fee to install the sewers and that others are even neglecting to pay the $2 con- nection fee. It was argued that people who are contracted to install sewers should pay, but that people who dig their own, for their own homes shouldn't have to pay the $25 fee. Councillor Harry Wraith suggested that the $25 cost be dropped for everybody, but this idea was rejected. Reeve Ivan Hearn said that if no permit was taken out, the person who installed the sewer should be responsible for back payment. Councillor Clifford Abbott suggested fining the "culprits" who don't take out permits. It was finally decided that a $2 connection permit is absolutely necessary for every home because this is the only way the clerk has of telling when the service is being used. It was also decided, however, that an individual contractor seventh, Biddulph Boys; and eighth, Shillelagh. Last Friday the Nairn team beat the Irish 9 in Ailsa Craig in overtime by one run for a score bf 7-6, Future games are as follows: Sept, 7, Lucan at Parkhill; Sept, 9, Lieury at Lucan at 2 p.m. and Ailsa Craig at Lucan at 9 p.m. The Goderich fastball tour- nament was held Sunday and Labor Day.
