District industries discussed by WI The work meeting of the Lu- can WI which began at 10:30 am Thursday at the Community Memorial Centre, proved a par- ticularly enjoyabl e and in- teresting meeting. A large quilt was nearly corn - pleted as a money making pro- ject. Tickets at 10Q or threefor 23e will be sold and the lucky ticket drawn at the June meet- ing. Those who were not quilt- ing were making scrap-books for the War Memorial Hospital, London. After a pot luck luncheon the regular W.I. meeting was held at 2 p.m. with the quilters and scrap-book makers continuing their work. Roll Call was an- swered by the naming of a way wheat comes to the table. The date of the hat show was changed to April 10 and the time from 8 to 8:30 pm, not to conflict with the Wednesday Holy Week service. The president, Mrs. Sheridan Revington, who presided, gave a short report on the Horne Furnishing demonstration re- cently held. The glove making course, April 30, May 1 and 2, was discussed and it was de- cided to contact Clandeboye and Birr WI to secure more en- tries. It was decided to send the new secretary or treasurer to the annual meeting at Guelph in June. ciresairmximaszataras1=4,3a•-•••4*.,,,, There's nothing quite as de stroying as being torn between two women. Some fellows are ripped asunder by a wife pulling In one direction, a mother haul- ing in the other. Other chaps are split down the middle by the bid decision: should I marry Mabel, who is good, kind, sweet, homely, dull and crazy about me; or should I run after Torso, who is bad, cruel, mean, eye-popping, ex- citing, and couldn't care less if I dropped dead? I remember one time when I was about 18. It may be hard to believe, for those who know me now, but that was the year I had two girls keen on me at the same time. I was prettyfond of both, One was sweet and innocent. The other was a red- head with a wicked shape. * * * I don't know how it happened, but by some miracle of mis- management, I made a date with both girls for the same night, same time. When I realized the pickle I was in, I knew that each would be furious if I step- ped out with the other one. So I took the sensible, cowardly way out, stood them both up, and went to a country dance with the boys. Both girls re- covered from the blow with' amazing speed and eventually had the good sense to marry somebody with some guts. It is only we cowards who get into these jams. And I'm in another one, right now. This time, my wife and daughter are tearing me in two. They're worse than politicians. Each bends my ear with intensity when the other isn't around, try- ing to persuade, bribe or in- veigle me into joining her side. It's all over those crazy kit- tens. Four more arrived two days ago. It's the fourth batch in two years. Our cat, needless to say, is a real sex-pot. The first batch was an event. Ilderton woman killed in crash Mrs. Ethel McIntosh, 71, of RR 3 Ilderton died at St, Jo- seph's Hospital last Sunday evening, following a car-truck .collision at highways 4 and 22. Mr. Clifford Bradford also. of RR 3 Ilderton, formerly of Lucan, driver of the car was returning home after visiting Mrs. Bradford, a patient in St. Joseph's Hospital. He suf, fered head injuries and con- cussion. He is still a patient in St. Joseph's Hospital, Raymond Wilfred Arthur, of Byron, driver of the transport trailer truck, Owned by Bra,dish Brothers of Lambeth, andload- ed with 26 head of sheep, and cattle, escaped injury. Cancer society plans campaign President, Ron Crozier, pre- sided at a meeting of the Can- cer Society held in the Anglican Parish Hall, last Friday night. Daffodils will again be sent to all churches during the cam- paign. Up to date, no finance convener, has been secured to replace Mrs. A. E. Reilly. It was decided to hold the cancer campaign from the middle of April to the end of the month. Mrs. Wm. Brownlee, as chairman of the women's ser- vice, of the Cancer Society, gave a report on her activities in and around Lucan. Mrs. Cecil Robb, education convener, also reported on what she has done and expects to do, in the future. MORE AID FOR AFRICA Speaking on his trip to Africa, Mr. Bradley Kibb, teacher of technical training in Clarke Rd. High School, London, was the guest speaker at the Lions Club dinner meeting in the Anglican Church basement last Monday night. He felt that the govern- ments of North America should do more, and make a greater effort to teach technical skill to the people of Africa. The nominating committee brought in a proposed slate of officers to be elected at the next meeting. Plans were finalized for the annual Red Cross blitz on Mon- day, March 25. Mrs. Cliff Shipley's and Mrs. Russell Bowman's group of the Ladies Guild catered for the dinner. LOBA EUCHRE At the Euchre, sponsored by the LOBA in their lodge room last Wednesday, high score prizes went to Mrs. Wes Hod- gins and GeorgeDavis (Exeter); lone hand prizes to Mrs. Cecil Neil, and Pat Ryan and low score prizes, to Mrs. Doug Ewen and Evan Hodgins. The draw for the box of groceries was won by Mr. Wilson Hodgins. The next game will be held Wednesday April 3 and will be sponsored by the LOL. LIBERALS MEET Robert McCubbin will be the guest speaker at a Liberal meeting in the Legion Hall, Friday, March 29. This meeting will give all present an opportunity to meet the new Liberal candidate, George McKenzie. A former meeting had been scheduled for March 25. I. E. McRoberts lifelong farmer Isaac Ernest McRoberts, 79, Con. 13 London Township, died Wednesday, March 13 on the farm where he had spent all his life. He is survived by his wife, the former Matilda Elliott, two sons, Elliott at home and Earl, RR 5 London; one brother, George McRoberts of Bryan- ston, also six grandchildren. Funeral services were con- ducted by Rev. W. G. Rose of Bryanston on Saturday, March 16 at the C. Haskett and Son funeral home, Lucan, with in- terment in St. John's cemetery. Pall bearers were six neph- ews: Chester, William and Graydon McRoberts, Herbert Dann, John and Roy Parkinson. By chance the date of the meeting, March 21 was also the date of Miss Ida Porte's 92nd birthday so a card and the signatures of all present was sent to Miss Porte, A letter from the branch's adopted child was read by the secretary, It was decided to again do- nate a $10 cheque for hooks to Lucan's most deser vi ng Grade 8 graduate, with Mrs. Revington to make the presen- tation, at the annual banquet. Mrs. Erie Young, citizenship and Education convener read two short Papers on changes in education. Mrs. C. H. George announced that the District Annual would be held at the Ivan UC, May 23 with Mrs. Murray Hodgins of Lucan as the new district presi- dent. Mrs. George, Mrs. Jack Lankin and Mrs. Jack Steacy were named a committee to be in charge of the refreshments at the hat show. Mrs. Carling volunteered to make some pos- ters. Mrs. Erwin Scott of the no- minating committee, presented a partial slate. The installation of the new officers will be held at the April meeting. Being the Agriculture and Canadian Industries meeting, Mrs. Guy Ryan took over. Mr. Tom Beer of the PS staff had promised to entertain with Irish songs but was sick. Mrs. Cecil Robb gave a talk on the motto, "Buried seeds grow buried talents never." Mrs. Ryan then conducted two contests, the first to name the most important industry at Goderich, Exeter, Clandeboye, Lucan, Arva and London; the :aecond was to compose a dinner menu of articles grown in On- tario but not purchased in a store. This proved interesting but expensive on gas if you had to travel to Goderich for salt, Thedford for celery, and Arva for flour to provide the dinner. All members were reminded to hand in their used stamps for the Bible Society to Mrs. Clarence Haskett before April 1.

Correspondent: Miss Line Abbett Rec news BY NORM CARTER Most activities are be- ginning to slow down now that spring seems to be on the way. However in spite of this slow- down all groups seem to still be enthusiastic toward their par- ticular choice of recreation. Teentown held a small record hop last Friday evening. It is believed the small attendance was due to the Combines hockey game that was played the same night. While on the subject of the Combines, they bowed out gracefully from the group play- offs by virtue of their loss to Seaforth 3-1 in the seventh and deciding game. Seaforth now meets Milverton in a best of seven group final. Two of our minor hockey teams are left in the Shamrock League playoffs the Bantams and Midgets. Also on the subject of minor hockey, the slate of twelve teams for the Bantam Tournament on Saturday, April 6 is now full. This should be a good day of minor hockey for those who attend. We start to take ice out of the Arena on Sunday April 7 in preparation for the spring and summer activities. By and large I would say we have had a fairly successful winter season and every effort will be made to have as much success during the coming spring and summer. Lady marks 92y ears Miss Ida Porte, formerly of Lucan, celebrated her 92nd birthday with Toronto relatives and former Lucanites, Mar. 21. Miss Porte, her father and her brother, Fred, had charge of Lucan's Post Office for many years, in the building now oc- cupied by the village council, and hydro commission. Following an eye operation in Toronto, Miss Porte sold her home here. Though her eye- sight is still poor, she is en- joying good health. She looks forward each week for her Ex- eter paper and has some one read every item of Lucan News to her. For many years she was cor- respondent for The London Free Press. The kids witnessed the Wonders of birth, There was trelnendous excitement. The kittens were nourished and cherished. The maw was fed dainties, I bought cigars. When the kittens were wean- ed, I had a talk with my daugh- ter. She wept, but agreed that we might have a problem if we kept them all. I put an ad in, the paper. It was on a pretty lofty tone, demanding a good home, suggesting that nothing but the best would do. We got rid of them all, easily. Next time around, a little of the gloss had worn off. It took two ads in the paper, to get rid of only two kittens. Finally, a little boy turned up. He wanted only one, but I told him they were inseparable twins, bullied him, threatened him, cajoled him, and finally, he took them, when I gave him half a dollar apiece. The third batch brought ulti- matums from the Old Battleaxe. And I don't blame her much. Have you ever tried to get din- ner with four mewling little beasts tottering about under- foot, widdling on the floor at every step? Even their own mo- ther became fed up with the gro- cery-gutted little punks, who gave her never a moment's rest, Three ads in the paper pro- duced one reluctant customer. My sister came to visit, and, her norm al goad sense de- stroyed by a pre-dinner mar- tini, in which I craftily tripled everything except the olive, she was a fairly easy victim. That left two kittens. We couldn't move them. The market for kittens was ap- parently saturated. There were two alternatives -- kittens or wife. Kittens can't cook. All right. I admit it, I did CH U R Ch Eis rtralinaESEUMWS:;:r,"',STirr ........

The men who widened the chancel steps and did the panelling made a splen- did job, as did those who spray- ed all the electric fixtures. LADIES GUILD There was a good attendance at the March meeting of the Ladies Guild last Wednesday afternoon when Mrs. Erwin Scott and Mrs. Charles Haggar gave reports on the splendid progress of the church reno- vations. It was voted that the mem- bers make the covering for the long communion kneeling bench. The next meeting April 17 will revert to an evening meet- ing. It was announced the Rev. Harry O'Neil would be a guest speaker in August. Following the meeting, some of the ladies remained to give the pew benches a second coat of varnish. When the pews had been moved to refinish the floors the kneelers had all been taken to the basement for var- nishing. Four new surplices for the sr. choir, were completed since the last meeting. INCREASE INSURANCE At the board meeting Wed- nesday evening it was decided to increase the insurance on the church from $50,000 to$15,000. It was voted to send out quar- terly reports and to have a canvass in May as well as No- vember for current expenses, diocesan expenses, the buid- ing fund and organ fund. United Church There was a good attendance at the Shamrock supper in the school room last Wednesday. .CGIT SHAMROCK TEA Many took advantage of Sat- urday's bright sunny day to at. tend the CGIT annual Shamrock Tea.
