And we find snap of our- selves on our honeymoen. We look at it, at each other, and shake our heads in disbelief and sorrow. "Never mind, deer," she reassures, "yeu look much more intellectual with a higher forehead." And. gallantly I reply, "And you sweetheart, certainly have alot ' more character in Your face now." Somehow, this doesn't hit the right note, and there's a plight frost in the air as we go on sorting. But soon we're absor- bed again. She is reading with intense admiration an old Eng- lish essay on which she received an A-plus mark. I am contem- plating wistfully an 18-year-old snap of myself, in which I had a vast, fighter-pilot's handlebar moustache, and an evil glint in My eye. "Why don't you throw those mouldy old letters out?" I sug- gest, as she sits there, a big bundle of them in her hand, gazing dreamily at the wall. "Wouldn't you just love me to!" she taunts. "Listen to this." And she reads me a purple passage from one of the corniest, most nauseatinglove- letters I've ever heard, from some old flame. Turns out his name was Bill. Turns out I wrote it. I get a cold chill down my spine, a red face, and snarl something about "getting this Pleas Cleaned up, I've got work to do." We fill a large.carton with discarflable items.

The motto "Our ancestors' actions determined our place in the world today as our actions will influence the future of our youth tomorrow," was discus- sed by the president, Mrs. Sheridan Revington. Roll call was answered by naming acur- rent event which will go down in history. Owing to the illness of Mrs. Murray Hodgins the panel dis- cussion planned for be program had to be postponed.

Lockyer, president of the Lucan Canadian Legion and Jerry Crunican of London Township, brother of the guest speaker. A report on the Saturday afternoon House League Hockey was satisfactory. Last year the LucanClub was fortunate in having Elmer Mo- surinjohn (who is now president) the winner of the 'trip to the Lions Club Convention in France. This year they are hoping for a winner to the con- vention at Miami in June. Mrs. Evan Hodgins' group of the Ladies Guild catered for the dinner. Mrs. M.

But for sheer emotionai wallop of an evening, there's nothing to touch cleaning out a dresser drawer. About every three years we have one of these orgies at our house. It usually begins when my wife is looking for something important. Like the ball of wool to finish my curling sweater, which she began knitting three winters ago. Or the cherished clipping which states that she once came at the head of the class in Grade 6. She starts rooting around in our documents drawer--a big dresser drawer crammed with old love letters, receipts for an- cient bills, lapsed insurance policies, membership cards for the year 1959, single earrings of every shape and hue, newspaper clippings about the kids' first music festival wins, odd shoe- laces, combs with missing teeth and photographs, hundreds of them. Pretty soon I hear yelps of dismay, snorts of outrage, and chortles of amusement. Grum- blingly I join her to Flake pure she doesn't throw out anything valuable, like my Oermancom, pass that doesn't work. * .* For a couple of minutes we work systematically, so r tin g the junk into piles, to be thrown out or saved. Then I catch her trying to chuck out a perfectly good picture of a WAAF cor- poral named Wendy, whom I knew well once upon a time. She retaliates by pointing out the undistinguished jerk in the class picture who was crazy about her. From thereon, it's every man for himself, and within a few minutes we have about 12 dif- ferent piles of stuff around us. "You don't want this silly thing, do you?" she sniffs holding up a dance program vintage 1939, with the name of a girl called Sylvia written in every space. "Oh, don't I though!" I re- tort, salvaging it though I can't even remember what S ylv i a looked like. Then we got looking at pic- tures of the kids when they were little, and are torn bet wee n tears and laughter. We linger over one of them in swimming sM Lucan Trip to Nassau follows nuptials Calvary United Church, Lon- don was the setting of the wed- ding of S andra Johnston and John Ewen at 6:30 pm February 15 with the Rev. Elgin G. Turnbull officiating. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Smith of Lon- don and the groom is the son of Mr, and Mrs. J. D. Ewen of Market St. Lucan. Given in marriage by her bro- ther, Peter Smith, the bride chose a brown suit with brown and beige accessories. She car- ried a cascade of orange ice roses. Her only attendant was Mrs. Wayne Robinson of Bryanston, who wore a beige suit with brown accessories, and orange ice rose corsage. The best man was Wayne Ro- binson of Bryanston. The church organist provided traditional wedding music. At a reception held at the Seven Dwarfs the bride' s mo- ther received in a brown suit, with yellow rose corsage. She was assisted by the groom's mother who chose a brown and beige lace dress with beige ac- cessories and yellow rose cor- sage. For a honeymoon trip to Nas- sau and Fort Lauderdale the bride wore a brown suit with brown accessories. The young couple will make their home in London. soisfaw Stormy weather cuts bingo crowd. Ahitter, cold, stormy night with 'poor visibility last Wed- nesday worked havoc with the Lions Club bingo at the Com- munity Centre. Only a small crowd braved the elements but the club decided to carry on as usual, much to the delight of some lucky winners, who won a roast of beef as a solo winner or a ham for a split bingo. Talk of beginner's luck! Mr. James Davis, Lucan's new hardware man, really had it! He won a roast on the 9th bingo, split the second with Mrs. Jack Lankin and the fifth with Clare Stanley and also split 'Share the Wealth," with Mrs. Doug Ewen, so he really went home loaded. Other beef winners were Mrs. Kenneth McNamee, Clare Stan- ley, Mrs. Doug Ewen, Mrs. Cecil Hodgins, Mrs. Jack Lan- kin, Benny Kelly, Mrs. Les. Woodward, Mrs. Clarence Young and Mrs. Loreen Lis- combe. Billy Haskett, the youngest player present, made the draw for the large ham and Mrs. Pat Crudge was the lucky win- ner. LOBA EUCHRE LOBA had five tables at their euchre last Wednesday night. High score prizes went to Mrs. Tom Weller and Eric Hod- gins; lone hand prizes, to Mrs. Aljoe Culbert and son Fred Culbert and low score prizes to Mrs. Harry Bond and Maurice Cobleigh. Mr. Cobleigh also won the basket of groceries. The next game, sponsored by the LOL will be held March 6.

Entires are coming fast now for our own '7th annual Sham- rock Pee Wee hockey tourna- ment scheduled for Saturday March 16. The panel of dis- tinguished judges will be chair- ed by a scout for the Detroit Redwings namely Ralph Mc- Fadden. More will be published about this tournament later. On Saturday night at 8:30 pm the Lucan Ilderton enter- tain Seaforth in the third game of their best of seven playoff series for the group champion- ship. Let us all get out and get behind the locals in their quest for championship honours. The figure skating group are busy rehearsing for their up- coming revue on March 13 and judging by the enthusiasm, this should be a show well worth seeing. The table tennis group are now going strong with re- gular sessions on Sunday after- noons. It is hoped a tourna- ment will be arranged later to declare a champion who will obviously be challenged at re- gular intervals. On Friday March 1, this Fri- day, the annual ice carnival sponsored by the Home and School will take place at 8 pm. There will be costumes, races and prizes and special events. It is hoped that a large turnout will be in attendance at this show. On Wednesday March 6 a $1,000 draw will be held at the arena, with all the proceeds going towards the completion of the swimming pool. There are still a few tickets left so get behind this very worthy cause before you are unable to obtain a ticket. On Saturday March 2 a full slate of House League games will be on tap with the excep- tion of the Midget game. This has had to be cancelled owing to the Intermediate playoff game. The schedule is as fol- lows: 2 pm, Canadians v Rang- ers; 3 pm, Hawks v Maple Leafs; 4 pm, Bruins v Redwings; 5pm, Bisons v Orioles; 6 pm, Hor- nets v Indians.
