There are three groups divided according to age 4-6, 7-9 and 10-12 years old, and there is a theme for each week. The first week of July was on "friendship" when the leaders and children became acquainted and learned more of each other. The 4-6 age group with their leaders, Elaine Overholt, Mary Lou Marrinan and Ellen Shumka hiked to a nearby woods and had a picnic. The second week was "nursery rhyme week" when skits and songs of various nursery rhymes were acted out by the children. On Wednesday July 9, the camp, including 110 children and 21 supervisors went on a bus trip to Story Book Gardens, using two school buses. Also that week the 10 to 12 group challenged the leaders to a game of baseball with the children winning the game. The past week was "past, present and future". The children discussed what Lucan looked like in the past and what it will look like in the future. The 7.9 group went on a picnic to the Lions' Club park, with their leaders, Jo-Ellen McFalls and Denise O'Brien. Games and races were enjoyed by, the children, with prizes for all. Refreshments were served by Eady Graham, Beech Street, as a treat for the youngsters and their leaders. Patti Fisher and Brenda Scott lead the group for the 10 to 12 -year olds.

Baker Hardy pigeons top from Quebec The "old bird" season of the Lucan Homing Club came to an end on Sunday evening, July 20th, at sunset. After the usual post- mortems of bad weather, tired birds, no birds, and "I don't know why's", Clarence Hardy came out as top flyer of the weekend. He won the 400 mile race from St. Jerome, Quebec, with 3 of the 4 pigeons home on day of release. Sons, Tom and Gord, had the only other birds in at nightfall, Saturday. Willy Vanneste of Clandeboye won the three hundred from Smith Falls, followed close behind by Clarence to take 2nd, 3rd and 4th. Then came the 500 mile from Grandmere, Quebec, with Club members flying for the "Frank Hard Memorial Trophy". Frank was the founder of the Lucan Homing Club and one who ex- celled at this distance. Clarence Hardy won this race also, clocking in four of the seven birds entered, by nightfall. of the Lucan OPP detachment estimated total damage in the accident to be $600. Lucan OPP report that a watch has been found and turned in to the detachment office. The owner may claim the watch by iden- tifying it. Blaze guts local garage There's a pervasive odour of burnt tires and charred wood not to mention a lot of black soot about the place but it's business as usual at Ken's Fina located on the south end of Main St., Lucan. "It takes more than a fire to make us close up shop" says Ken Burgess, owner of the garage. About $10,000 in damage to the shop and equipment was caused by the blaze that gutted the in- terior of the building at 1:00 p.m, Saturday afternoon. Ken was welding the rear shock absorbers on Johannes Molemkamp, of London, '66 blue Meteor sation wagon when the plastic gas line melted. The car burst into flames, said Ken, "I emptied two fire ex- tinguishers on it and then I figured it was it or me, so I left." Just in time it seems "I had just shut the door of the garage when the meteor's gas tank blew and the inside of the shop went up," he said. Lucan Fire Department doused the fire and it was all over fifteen minutes after it started. Insurance will cover the cost of the damages and Ken is op- timistic, "I intend to rebuild immediately," he said "service to our customers will not stop, even temporarily." Ken's mechanics are as hard at work, as ever checking brake lines and replacing spark plugs etc, on the asphalt in front of the garage, Swimmers pass tests Registration for the third session of swim classes will take place on Friday, tomorrow, at 1 p.m. at the arena.
