bus trip
Members of the Lucan
W.I. and friends from Ik
Clandeboye area, Granton
and London township en
joyed a bus trip to the
Elmira and Elora districts
Monday of this week, driving
through beautiful Mennonite
country.
In Elmira the group
visited Brox’s Olde Town
Village, the “Sap Bucket”
where there was an excellent
display of Mennonite Crafts,
had a super lunch at the
Stone Crock and toured the
“House of Dolls” and
“Krafts by Us”.
Travelling on toward
Elora we saw the covered
bridge at Westmontrose
and at Elora the group got
out of the bus in the park and
walked along the top of the
gorge to Lover’s Leap a
sheer drop to the rocks
below. We drove back to
“The Inn’ a converted mill
and had a beautiful view of
“The Tooth of Time” from
their “Tap” Room Deck. We
also had the opportunity of
seeing the many little
boutiques along Main Street.
Returning via Stratford
supper was enjoyed at the
Ponderosa.
McNaughton-Ilderton
Tours provided the tran
sportation with Peter as the
most excellent driver and
guide. The committee

Many changes for Lions fair,
starts with Friday night parade
This writer has heard
rumours of the program for
the Lions Club Fair 1978 to be
held on August 18. 19 & 20. I
understand some changes
are being made. The Fair
will start off with the Parade
Friday evening, instead of
Sunday afternoon, and will
be headed up by the 65
member “Buccaneers
Band” from Sarnia.
The talent show is being
dropped and in its place will
be some novelty “fun”
things, e.g. a turtle race,
frog jump, pie eating con-
test, etc.
Also - for the first time - a
“Fair Princess” a contest
will be held and posters are
placed in various stores
giving entrances
qualifications.

stimulation for the club.

meeting was opened with
the Tops pledge with Ruby
Amies president presiding
over the meeting.
The special feature of the

Fire brigades
hear of rescues
The Lucan-Biddulph
volunteer fire department
hosted the Middlesex Mutual
Aid Association in the Lucan
Fire Hall recently.
The fire chief from the
London air port showed
slides and spoke on rescue
work when a plane crashes.
The meeting was well at
tended by all volunteer fire
departments in the area.
There was one “false
alarm” during the last two
weeks, set off by an
American radio station
operating on the same
frequency as the fire call.
The mons den will feature
“The Killarney Show Band”
direct from Ireland,
replacing the disbanded
“Molly Maguires.”
Headlining the en
tertainment will be Carol
Baker, Ferlin Husky and the
Good Brothers, all excellent
in their field.
The helicopter rides will be
back and sky diving is being
added to the program of
exciting events.
It sure sounds as though
Lucan and district Lions are
really outdoing themselves
and that everyone is in for a
really good show.
