Hot pigeons, that's what. A week ago Len Currah had a bird that broke the sound -barrier in rac- ing back from Georgetown. Last Saturday he had a pigeon that flew fast enough to wui the Oshawa race, while Currah pigeons also placed 4, 5, and 6 in the Cobourg race. The big story, of course, was the success booked by J.P. Loft. (To avoid misunderstanding we should point out that we are not speaking of Mister J.P. Loft, but rather about the loft of Mr. Jack Pierson) We all knew it was just a mauer of time before the Pierson Pigeons would break into the winner's circle. And they did it in fine style. They took positions 1,2 and 3 in the Coburg race and placed 2,3 and 4 in the race fromOshawa. The other positions in the Coburg race were taken by Jack Brennan who placed 7, Clarence Hardy 8, and L. de Haan 9. The rest of the positions in the Oshawa race were divided as follows: Adrian Ansems from distant Parkhill 5 and 6, Len Currah 7 and 8, Clarence Hardy 9 and 10. Now that the first races of the season have been completely domi- nated by the new members from the south, the rest of the members of the Lucan Racing Pigeon Club are beginning to have second thoughts about the club's very liberal admis- sion policy. And the rumour that Harty Winters has gone into hiding simply is not true: he and Rict are on a trip to Holland. Whether or not he is going to bring back some su- per Dutch pigeons is a different matter, of course! ,jCINVESTMENTS 524-2773 God$nc' 1800.265.5503 NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING BOUNDARY ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES VILLAGE OF GRAND BEND TOWNSHIP OF STEPHEN In 1990 the Village of Grand Bend, in the County of Lambton, passed By-law 6303, initiating procedures under the Municipal Boundary Negotiations Act, 1981 and Bill 35, The Sarnia- Lambton Act, to annex lands from the Township of Stephen (in the County of Huron).
