We wrote the company about our lost article but after a period of time, when we still hadn't received a reply we wrote again. Still no reply, so we phoned long distance and were told that a claims form has been mailed to us but here we are into spring and we're still waiting on this "magic form". A thorough search by the moving and storage company has failed to turn up any clue as to what happened to your rug. However they have agreed to compensate you with a $75 cheque which is now up to you to either accept or reject. Well a recent list issued by the Federal Depart- ment of Consumer and Corporate Affairs inform us that, 25 convictions were registered from Oc- tober 1st to December 31st, 1976 and the offen- ding firms paid out a total of $20,000 in fines. The Bay on two counts, fined $1500 and $750. K- Tel International fined $500. N.S.I, Marketing Ltd, fined $3,000 and a falsely advertised cir- culation figure was proven against Outdoor Canada Magazine, resulting in a fine of $500. It's re-assuring to know that some progress is be- ing made in this direc- tion, to help the con- sumer. Mt.

Hearn continued, "Main street seems to be a natural boundary and the two churches provide spacious polling areas, so I can't see any need for a change," Daylight saving time will of- ficially begin in Lucan on Sun- day, April 24, at 2 a,m. and continue until Sunday, October 30 at the same time.

Merna O'Neil chaired the business meeting during which the motion to have a food booth at the Lions' Club Fair, was rescinded, as on second thought during the past week, all those present felt it was a project that was too demanding for senior citizens. Birthday greetings were extended to Reola Hotson. Those attending the workshop at Fanshawe College on April 23 will be Vina Emery, Agnes Hotson, Lexie Atkinson and Donna Hindmarsh, Euchre winners were lady's high, Kathleen Neil; lady's lone, Margaret Carter; lady's low, Laura Williams; man's high, Lon Phillips; Man's lone, Fred Mcllhargey and man's low, Charlotte Barker, playing a man's card.

All Lucan residents with materials to be picked up on the special day May 16 are asked to have the refuse placed at the curb by 9 a.m. Came across the following the other day and thought it may be of interest to those living in the Irish Town. The longest name in Irish topography is a matter of dispute, but Castletown- conyersmaceniery in County Limerick has a strong claim to the title. Also strong in the running is Muickeenachidirdhashaile. If you ever had an afternoon to spare you might like to pronounce that last one and a rough phonic equivalent is "muck-heen-idege-er-daw-sawl- yeh". Championed by many, Cooneenaskirroogohifran„, (little harbour sliding to Hell) suffers from one handicap—No one has ever established that it exists. In County Donegal they offer Bealachanghiollaganleine (the pass of the shirtless servant). There now and may the saints presarve us—I hope that I made your day, Musha, Bedad, Begorrah and Bejabers.
