Give it a go, you will he pleas;d you did. Branch 540's 5th annual fun bowling party that wasn't,By this statement f am sure you will think 1 am ready for the squirrels. However, let me tell you. Last Sunday we had a great gang out to go bowling, however when we got to the Lucan Lanes no one was there to let us in We looked around for the proprietor. unfortunately, he was no where to be found. However the whole day was not lost. We all adjourned to the Legion Hall and held a euchre party instead and the pot luck supper which followed made it all worthwhile. Lucky Bill Hodgins of Lucan was the $100 winner of the first draw of the second annual cheque draw. And W. K. McNaughton won the $60.75 Pot 0' Gold last Saturday and all he did was go over to the Lounge and register in the book provided. It's as simple as that. There will be a dance held on March 8 at the Legion. Parents without partners as guests from' Brantford. Cost $5.00 a couple - for further information please phone 227-4751 and talk to either Li'l Len or Smilin' Carl our amiable stewards. Attention All Sunday curlers so that you may lose your guilt complex here is some good Biblical support for your chosen i sport. The Bible speaks of the beginner assigned as Lead: "Ile that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone." Eventually he is promoted to second. Since his lead has two stones in the house, Ezekiel 38:7 tells him: "Be thou a guard unto them." and he must act on the resolution of Isaiah 14:23 as a skip's rock slides toward the house: "I will sweep with the broom of destruction. ' On becoming a vice -skip "The rocks are thrown down by him:" ( Nahum 1:6). His reward is the skip's upraised broom to signify, "Behold he smote the rock" (Psalm 78:30). Thus "Their rock is removed out of place." (Job 14:8) The exalted rank of skip calls for only one verse: "Why stand ye here all the day idle?" (Matthew 20:16). Brother these curlers are something else - Eh! and that's 30 for this week. Remember, In olden days men rode chargers - today they marry them. Be sure to attend the 2nd an- nual atom tournament to be held at the Lucan arena this Friday night, Saturday and Sunday. The "B", "C" and "D" categories will be represented with teams coming from as far as Toronto and Staynor. Final games will be played Sunday afternoon. The Legion Auxiliary will be on hand to provide tasty lunches. Junior farmers enjoy bowling The Lucan Junior Farmers monthly meeting was held at the Bowling Alley on Sunday, February 9.

Cancer group meets A Campaign Meeting for the Executive and Representatives of the Biddulph-Lucan Branch of the Canadian Cancer Society, will be held on Wednesday, March 5 at 8:30 p.m., in the Parish Hall of Holy Trinity Anglican Church.
