Only minor damage
in district accidents
Lucan Village Council put the
finishing touches on an anti-noise
by-law Monday night with its
main intent to regulate un-
necessary and offensive noise.
The by-law will not become
village law until after Lucan's
solicitor has inspected the
wording for possible flaws or
ambiguities. Once passed back to
Council though, it appears a
certainty that the by-law will be
approved.
Council used a model anti-noise
by-law from the Ministry of
Municipal Affairs to arrive at
their own, but added new phrases
and sections and deleted others
which councillors did not feel
were applicable to Lucan. The
by-law was originally con-
templated back in the summer
months when noise on Lucan
streets began to be a problem,
especially at night.
While it covers almost any
noise, the by-law is especially
intended to restrain loud
squealing of tires and dogs that
bark all night. These were the
two chief complaints that Lucan
residents were giving to Council.
The by-law would protect not
only residents who were being
disturbed at home, but persons in
public as well, if they were
legitimately being disturbed by a
loud, ongoing noise.
Other types of noises
regulated under the proposed by-
law would include: shouting,
sounds from horns or signal
devices, loud radio, TVs, and
stereos, sounds of animals over
an unnecessary period of time,
sounds of unkempt vehicles and
machinery, noisy loads, ad-
vertising loudspeakers unless
special permission from the
village had been obtained, and
excavating or construction noise
between the hours of 10 p.m. and
7 a.m.
The penalty for making of-
fensive noise would be a
maximum of $1,000 and six
months in jail.
Things like parades which
reach louder than usual noise
levels would be excluded from
regulation, providing a parade
permit had been obtained.
Likewise, the by-law would
exclude regulation of noise which
is necessary to the operation of
equipment on industrial sites.
Council felt that to regulate this
type of noise would prevent in-
dustry from being able to operate
in the village.
In other business, Council
approved purchase and in-
stallation of a new snow plow for
the truck. It was learned that the
old plow would not fit on the new
1976 C.M.C. truck which Lucan
purchased recently,
The old plow was purchased
used 10 years ago.
Although none of the coun-
cillors could be definite on
whether the '76 budget had in-
cluded provision for a new plow,
it was decided that the reserve
fund could be called into service
to pay for the new equipment.
Recently it was discovered
that a town water main runs right
underneath the IGA store. On
checking the records it was found
that the village laid the pipe 27
years ago but no one on council at
that time had thought to purchase
an easement from the property
owner.
Recently the main was struck
and broken by digging equipment
during construction of the ad-
dition on the IGA.
Concerned that the village
could have problems with
maintenance and repair of the
main in the future, Council
decided to appoint Reeve Hearn
as a one- man committee to
approach Fred Darling for an
easement on the property and a
rerouting of the water main.
Council will offer to pay the cost
of new pipe and parts in exchange
for the right-of-way to service the
water main,

Marrying a man is like buying
something you've been admiring
for a long time in a shop window.
You may love it when you get it
home, but it doesn't always go
with everything else in the house.
In growing older, we're sup-
posed to get more like a peach,

prune outside; otherwise, what's
the point?
Four of the five accidents in-
vestigated this week by officers
of the Lucan detachment of the
Ontario Provincial Police caused
only minor damages,
The only crash causing ex-
tensive damage occurred
Monday morning at 8:55 a.m.
when a pickup truck and school
bus collided on Concession 4 of
Biddulph township at the Lucan
village limits.
No injuries were sustained.
Drivers of the vehicles were
Rudy Engle and Margaret Avery,
both of Lucan. Constable G.N,
Wilcox set damages at $2,300,
Monday at 7:30 a.m. on High-
bury, a half mile south of Con-
cession 8 in London township, a
pickup truck driven by Clifford
Coulson, London left the roadway
and struck a hydro guide wire.
Hydro services were disrupted
for a short time in the Ballymote
area. Constable James Craig
listed damages at $125.
Damages of $175 were
sustained by two parked vehicles
when they were struck Saturday
afternoon at the Ilderton arena
parking lot by a vehicle driven by
Michael Graham, London.

By the way things are going
there will be no such thing as
`work' in the next century.
We already have a four-day
week in some trades and the
militant trade union leaders
admit that the ultimate aim is the
three day week.
And when they get that they
will probably insist on a statutory
holiday between the first and
third day. Well, I have heard that
hard work never killed anyone, so
I am taking no chances on being
its first victim. I'm really not
afraid of hard work — that's why
I've fought it so successfully for
years.
My motto is, 'what ever is
worth doing is worth asking
somebody to do it.'
I do most of my work sitting
down — that's where I shine. The
greatest pleasure in life is having
lots to do, and not doing it.
Don't know what this has to do
with Legion. However if you have
read this far you might as well
keep going Incidentally the
foregoing is not meant to cast any
reflection upon anyone — just
musing.
I came across the following
statistics which well explains
why all the work in the world is.
being neglected. It appears that
there is still plenty of work to be
done but the trouble is finding
some one to do it.
The population of Canada is
over twenty-two million, but
there are seven million over 65
years of age, leaving fifteen
million to do the work.
People under 18 total 10 million
leaving five million to do the
work,
Five hundred thousand in the
armed forces leaves 250,000
workers. Deduct one and a
quarter million federal provin-
cial, municipal and city em-
ployees, which leave a million
and a quarter to do the work.
There are 250,000 people in
hospital, leaving one million to do
the work. But 700,000 of these are
unemployed and two hundred
thousand are on welfare or won't
work, so that leaves 100,000 to do
the work.
Now it may interest you to
know that there are eighty
thousand people out of the
country at the present time and
19,998 people in jail. So that just
leaves two people to do the work,
and that's just you and me,
And brother, I'm getting tired
of doing everything by myself.
Now if you have got this far —
here are a couple of important
announcements — Branch 540's
next general meeting will be held
at the Branch at 8:30 p.m.,
Wednesday, October 13, Let's
have a good turnout of all
classification of members — this
damages at $150 when a vehicle
driven by Kenneth McAdam,
R.R, 2, Wingham, left Highway 4,
a half mile south of Lucan and
struck the ditch Saturday af-
ternoon at 2:15 p,m.
Thursday at 6:45 p.m. Mary
Ann Mohr, R.R. 1, Lucan
reported to police that her vehicle
had been struck while parked on
Frank Street in Lucan,
The other vehicle left the scene
without reporting the incident.
Constable N.A. Campbell set
damages at $125.
Grants for
tennis court
Lucan Cuuncil received word
Monday night from Jack Riddell,
M.P.P. for Middlesex, that the
provincial grants for the tennis
courts have been approved.
Estimated total cost of the
proposed new courts would be
$16,768. The Wintario grant is for
$4,192, leaving a balance of some
$12,600 to be made up through
public donation.
Canvassers for the tennis court
fund report that a total of $12,826
has been collected to date.

. Dinner Dames meet
Lucan No. 2 4-H Dinner Dames
held their third meeting,
Saturday at Mrs. De Brouwer's
home. Nine members answered
the roll call of "My favourite fish
dish."
Louise 'Van de Loo, Louise
Morkin and Teresa Spruyt made
chicken salad. Mary Dewan and
Jackie Toonders made salmon
loaf, Mrs. De Brouwer read a
section about the third meal fish,
foul and flesh.
The leaders checked the four
day meal plan and said where
improvements were needed,
Next meeting will be this
Saturday at Mrs. Van ,de Loo's
home.
Where are
the pictures?
When looking through the
Women's Institute Tweedsmuir
History at the Library on
Saturday afternoon, it is noted
that several pictures are missing,
These pictures are priceless and
have been given to the Institute
for the specific purpose of
preserving, pictorially, the
histor3f of the community. If you
have borrowed a picture for the
purpose of reproducing it, will
you please get it back in place at
once. There is no way several of
the missing pictures can be
reproduced by the committee, as
they are heirlooms. Your im-
mediate attention to this matter
will be greatly appreciated.
