This • Tthursday will see the South Middlesex Hockey Association open in Lucan. Arena with Westmounts testing out the Luean Merchants; Lambeth vs. Richards -Wilcox and a third game in which Arva • takes on Glanworth. On Friday evening, we under- stand the newly formed Lucan- liderton Combines will hold an exhibition game with another in- termediate team (possibly Exe- ter) which should provide a good evening of hockey. The Shamrock Minor Hockey Association is due to get under way on Monday, November 9 — more about that next week. The Figure Skating Club are making Plans to get under way some time during the coming month. However, some assist- ance, both actively and on the executive level is requested. Any- one who is interested in this very instructive and pleasant recreational p a s ti m e should please contact Mrs. James Free- man; or this writer. We have wondered many times just how many of our "senior citizens" of- Lucan might be in- terested in the formation of an active group. Your director of recreation is quite interested in seeing ;some older faces enjoying themselves around YOUR arena —not that we are tired of the young- ones—because there is very definitely a place for you, even if It's only a place for a euchre session once a week. So if you are interested, please con- tact me. Once again, "How about Teen Town"???? . . WI members, prize winners Mrs. Murray Hodgins, Mrs. Bert Jackson, Mrs. N. W.

By the time they got to the Com- munity Centre all were as wild with excitement that MG Clare Stanley had the greatest diffi- culty to make himself heard above the uproar.
