Fair activities for children
The tortoise, the frog, the
chicken and the beds, sound
like a children’s story to
you? Well Saturday at the
Lucan fair the kids got
together to make their own
story and here are the
results.
Dean Mills, Ted Hall and
John Homensky won the tur
tle race and Peter Dearing
the Frog jumping contest.
The chicken’s 100 foot dash
was won by Gordie Evans,
Diane Dearing and Dalton
Dykeman.
Cash prizes were awarded
to all winners but somehow
the payment in laughs and
fun added up to far more.
Sunday afternoon after a
busy weekend some tired
youths decided to hop into
their beds and the beds just
happened to start moving.
The St. Marys Fearsome
five tore the sheets off
Lucan’s Green Machine who
seemed to be lying down on
the job.
Re-Act security
London’s Re-act CB club
was in chargeof securitydur-
ing the fair. It was hearten
ing to the fair goers to see
this group in action.
Through the grounds and
buildings with their
sophisticated com
munications systems they
way-laid possible trouble
United Church
The Jim Robertson family
was in charge of the service
in Lucan United Church Sun
day morning, with Jim
leading in worship. Janey
sang the solo “Times Are
Runnin’ Out’’, accom
panying herself on the guitar
and played the piano accom
paniment for her mother as
she sang “All That Thrills
my Soul”. Mrs. Robertson
also led the Responsive
Psalm and read the Scrip
ture lessons.
Mr. Robertson spoke from
the command of Jesus to His
desciples - “Go ye into ALL
the world ...” saying the
same command applies to-
da$ God needs witnesses
and the way we live, while it
tells others whether or not
we are Christians, is not
really enough. We must
speak to them of the “Good
News”, even though we may
be shunned, ridiculed or
even persecuted.
A witness is a person who
tells what he knows to be a
fact and Christians all know
the fact of the power and
love of God which is with us
wherever we go. All we have
to do is claim this power and
we will live committed
lives.
The “harvest” is ready,
right here in this communi
ty, but are we ready to go
out and gather in the
harvest? What a challenge
we have to meet in the name
and love of Jesus Christ. The
service next Sunday will be
under the direction of
Wesley Stanley, the lay
representative for the
Lucan-Clandeboye Charge.
A date to remember
Commencing Tuesday
evening, October 17, in
Bryanston United Church,
the Lay School of Theology,
sponsored through
Fanshawe College, will zero
in on “Effective
Visitations” in their Fall
series, especially for those
churches in North
Middlesex. The series is in
terdenominational and you
are asked to mark the open
ing date on your calendar
and watch for further an
nouncements. Discussion
leaders will include Dr. A.R.
Meredith, Rev. Jack Thomp
son, Jim Robertson and
others. Plan to attend.
and saw that anyone needing
help and attention received
it in the minimum amount of
time with a minimum
amount of trouble.
The re-act club also
supplied their own dogs to
guard the exhibits left over
night in the arena.
Emergency situations
were handled byHaskettAm-
bulance Service in Lucan.
The town’s police were in
force at the fair to handle
any possible violence and
their presence during all
hours allowed the fair to
continue on a family fun
level without restraint and
nervousness.
The Killarney were great
as was proven by the
capacity crowds they drew
to the Lions Den. Although
difficult to hear sometimes
over the roars of approval
of those attending the bar
they were worth the effort of
standing in slow moving
lines to hear them.
Out at the Grandstand
Ferlon Husky’s back up
group did an outstanding job
making the performance
worthwhile. CarrolBaker was
her sweet'self and many of
her fans were on hand for
autographs and pictures.
Her back up Tenderfoot
deserve more than just
honorable mention,
The Good Brothers crowds
spoke'for themselves and no
one who took the time to see
and hear them
dissappointed.
Highlighting the
stand performers
Londons own Irish
“Bitter Sweet.” Their appeal
was through the ageless
music they performed and
even though they had some
sound trouble they were
loudly applauded by young
and old.
The Sunday afternoon
pony pull was good enter
tainment for all Prizes and
Molson cups were given.

Summer school ends
with Friday party
The Lucan Arena Booster
Club would like to take this
opportunity to thank
everybody that helped them
out with their booth. Special
thanks goes to Ruth Hill,
Bev Hoffman and to the
fireman that helped when
the big rush was on.
Congratulations goes out
to the Lucan summer school
leaders and children for the
work that went into their
float. They got first prize for
their project of the Old Lady
that had so many children
she didn’t know what to do.
A note to parents of the
v Lucan Suftimer School
‘ children to inform you that
this is the last week for the
school and to celebrate the
final week we are planning
to throw a party for the kids.
We have rented the pool
from the hours of 12 to 1 Fri
day afternoon. This gives
the little ones as well as. the
leaders an opportunity to go
in for a swim.
There will be two
lifeguards on duty at this
time. Before the children go
swimming we plan to have a
little party for them.
Summer school will run
from the hours 10-1 on Fri
day. We are asking that the
parents pick up the children
at the pool at lp.m.
On behalf of the leaders
and myself Bev Huffman, I
would like to tell you that we
all enjoyed working with the
children and found it to be a
memorable experience.
The official opening of the
Lucan Community
Memorial Centre will be
September 9-10. September
9 there is a reception and
dinner from 5:30 to 9 p.m.
and a dance and show to
follow with the Diamond Lil
revue. Advance tickets only
for the dinner but tickets for
the Revue are on sale now
but will also be at the door
that night.
Members of the Lucan
Women’s Institute have
been telephoning like crazy
the last few days to try to
find a second leader
Lucan 1 4-H club,
without success. While
leader could handle
group it is difficult and the
Department of Agriculture
and Food specifies that
there shall be two leaders
for each ten girls.
Lucan Clubs 2 and 3 are
continuing under the
leadership of Mrs. Donald
O’Neil, Mrs. Gerald Straat-
man, Mrs. Adrian De
Brouwer and Mrs. John Van
der Loo.
A two-day training school
takes place September 18
and 19, in London, and a
seven meeting project with
the girls follows ap
proximately two week later
with Achievement Day a
few weeks after completion
of the project. The forms
should be returned at once
with the leaders names and,
unless an assistant"to Mrs.
Fred Cowdrey is forthcom
ing, once again the Lucan 1
Club will not be able to func
tion.
The project is
“needlepoint on canvas’1’
and whether or not you have
ever done it matters not, as
the training course gives you
the necessary information to
pass on to the girls who must
be 12 before the Club com
mences in September.
