IY- Phone BA 1.42SS rhe"-th " institute host / to 'famues The small 12-passenger school bus, owned by Mr. Victor Sal- fried, RR 1 Lucan, which each day makes two trips to the SS No- 6 Biddu h (separate school) on No. 4 Highway near Elginfield was involved in a se- rious accident last Tuesday af- ternoon, when it stopped on highway 23 'to let the three Da- men children out. A southbound car driven by George Pring of London who was -accompanied by his mother Mrs. Elizabeth ?ring, stopped to let the children cross the road. Behind him was a, 33-foot Imperial Mobile Homes convoy trailer, drawn by a truck trac- tor, driven by Wilfred. Kaufman, also of London, who was un- able to stop in time, crashed, into the rear of the Pring car, then swerved across the road! crumpling the front of the small s bus. Mrs. Helen Seifried, who often. sssists her husband, was driving the bus and was the most se- riously hurt. Seven children and' Mrs. Seifried were taken to St. Joseph's Hospital, They were. Eddie, Maureen and Catherine Harrigan, Cindy, Alice, and Che- ryl Broderick and Frances Van', Liesheut. Maureen, Alice and , Cheryl were released 'but Alice. had to return next day. Some of; the children have since been re.e leased but Mrs. Seifried, who re-e quired surgery, will be hospita-!' lized for some weeks. The occupants of the other tied Vehicles escaped injury. LUCAN'S OLDEST — William Downing recently celebrated his oath birthday. He attributes his longevity to "hard work and no worrying", Involved in crash, two mks banquet While on their way to attend the third annual T-A family ban- quet Mrs. Irving Gibson and Miss Lina Abbott were in the centre of a seven car mix-up about two miles south of Exeter on No. 4 Highway last Saturday. The accident occureed. when Mr. Thomas Ellerington of Exe- ter, northbound, stopped to make a left turn. Mr. David McLeod of Goderich, stopped behind him but a car ,,,riven by Mr. David Millar of Exeter rammed into the rear of the McLeod car, sending it into the Ellerington vehicle. Mrs. Gibson, who was some distance behind, stopped her car, only to be rammed by the Rev. Ralph Gibson of Georgian Bay who, with Mrs. Gibson, had been attending a wedding in London and were hurrying to get home. Seconds later two other cars driven by Mr. Seta. Winer of Exeter and Mr. Kenneth. Teb- butt of Seaforth, unable to stop on the wet pavement joined the mix-up. So hard was Mrs. Gibson's car rammed that it not only burst in the trunk but broke off the front seat, throwing Mrs, Gibson's hat and Miss Abbott's glasses into the back seat. Other than a shaking up Mrs. Gibson was unhurt and able to phone her son-in-law, Mr. Les Wood- -ward of Lucan to come for her but Miss Abbott received a neck injury' which is still troubling her. They both regretted missing out on the banquet but feel grateful that they escaped more serious injuries. In spite of a seven-car crash all occupants escaped with a shaking up and minor injuries. In. no time police were on the scene and in charge of traffic. Legion Auxiliary bingo Though the Legion Auxiliary bingo has gone up to $165 in 55 calls there was no winner last Thursday evening.

A lumber of new faces were seen among the players , trying out the blades for the first time this season. However, on Sunday, the regular Sunday , practices from 1 until 3 will commence and anyone who would like to try out for the team will be welcome according to coach I Haray Wraith. Still on the hockey theme, the Lucan Pee Wee, Bantam and Midget teams have each had one practice session. From the pre- season look, the Bantams should have a very strong team with many of last year's team, plus about three-quarters of the last year's Pee Wees team trying for spots on this year's squad, The Midgets also did not lose too many players and have some good bantams moving up. The 'Pee Wees, however, having lost most of the former team to the nigher age bracket, are' the un- Otnown quantity for the coming season. However, there are many hopefuls among those try- ' ing out for this year's team, Last -week, there was not quite enough ice to permit pub- lie skating — although we did have the youngsters out for two i hours last Saturday afternoon. However, this Saturday, evening, public skating for the season will, start regular Saturday and Sun- hday sessions—Saturday evening `from 8 to 10 and Sunday after- noon from 3 to 5. Admission will remain the same as last year, namely 15e for the children and 350 for adults. Lastly, don't forget Monday evening, October 31 al— the Hal- lowe'en party in the auditorium for the youngsters, They will pa- ' rade from the yard in front of the Wraith-Storey Hatdware, where the• parade will form up —to the arena auditorium. And please remember—weather per- mitting, of course—the judging of costumes will be done at the start of the parade. So if you want to be eligible for a cos- tume prize, be in the parade at the start, We hope we'll have a Pleasant surprise in the form of entertainment for you this year.
