Severe Electrical Storm
A severe electric storm passed
over Lucan Friday evening.
Shortly after 11 ii.in. There was
one deafening, ear splitting
crack that brought many resi
dents of Alice St, rushing to the
street. A group of men talking
on the sidewalk saw the ball of
fire, followed by falling sparks.
They thought that the house ae-
cross the street, now occupied, by
Mrs. Underwood had been hit
but investigation showed no sign
of fire. Later it was discovered
an old aerial on top of the Stan
ley Block had been hit. Some
$oys were on the fire escape
at the time, Though pieces of
splintered wood fell around there
the boys were not hurt. Fortun
ately no damage was done to the
building hut many Lucanites lost
a few hours of sleep.

This will keep your birds healthy, steady producers
of firm-shelled, top-grade eggs.
Constantly cull out the poor layers—keep only the good producers.
To choose the good layers among mature birds, look for these points:
