Attention Farmers I feel sorry for my kids, be- cause the Twelfth of July, for them, is Merely the day their Mother says, "Oh, dear, this is Your aunt's birthday and I for- got tel send a card." A Whole generation of Cana- dians has arisen to whom the mighty Twelfth is just another day to go watereskiing, or enjoy a barbecue. The poor youngeters. They den't know what they've missed. What a grand and glorious day the Twelfth was, when I was a boy, compared to the feeble, or- derly skeleton it is today! About the middle of June, the lodge rooms of the Orange- men and the Young Britons be- gan to throb and thump and shrill and squeal as the fife and drum units tuned up for the big day. When the Twelfth arrived, it was always the absolutely hot- Lucan Scouts enjoy outing Several Scouts from Lucan, along withSM Earl Carling, enjoyed a weekend camporee with counter- parts from the Huron and Perth zone in Hay Swamp, north-west of Exeter.

Sponsored by the UCW at the United Church School Room LUCAN Wed., July 15 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. and family reunions TWO Lucan Public School tea- dhers, resigned in June, both of RR 1 Lucan, Mrs. Martin Van Arenthals and Mrs, Ross McRoberts. Mrs. McRoberts lives one and one-half miles south of Lu- can and Mrs. Van Arenthals two and one-half miles north of Lucan. The former attended the Lu- can public and High Schools, receiving a provincial bursary on completing Grade 13. She attended the London Normal School in 1949. Before joining the Lucan Public School staff, five years ago, she taughtthree years in Lobo and four and one- half years in the Course y School. She was the former Marguerite Young of Lucan. Mrs. Van Arenthals (the for- mer Donna Mills of Woodham) graduated from the Lqndon Tea- chers' College, June 1956. She taught in SS 2 Biddulph for three years before joining the Lucan Public School staff five years ago.

The two oc- casional teachers, Mrs. Ivan Hearn and Mrs. Murray Hod- gson were also guests. During the evening a number of games and contests were held, at one of which Mrs. McRoberts and Mrs. Van Aren- thals received gifts from the staff. Culbert were the winners — probably due to the fact Mr. Culbert is a paper-hanger by trade. All did justice to the two meal "eats", as well as the ideal swimming. FAMILY PICNIC Petty Officer William Hod- gins and family of Halifax and Mrs. Bruce Stewart and three sons of Kenora are holidaying with Mrs. .Wes Hodgins. Sunday they met the other members of Mrs. Hodgins' family, (number- ing 41) for a get-together at Pinafore Park, St. Thomas, Adults $1.50 Children under 12 75st Pre School Children Free test, brightest day of the whole summer, Beginning about 10 a.m., the first isolated lodges would be. gin to arrive In town, and shabby and ashamed was the lodge that could not produce at least one drum and one fife. They were hard, lean, bronz- ed men, those from the farming and bill communities around the town, There was a lurking hint of violence behind the great good humor of their uproarious greetings. When the hotels opened, the streets were suddenly denuded of the hundreds of white-start- ed, blue-trousered, straw-hat- ted men, and everywhere per- spiring women produced lunches and sat in the shade with their broods, looking anxious. About 1:30, the grand parade would get under way, after a great deal of rearing and back- ing and shouting among the various mounted lodge masters, on their old white plow-horses, decked out like chargers. And the whole town would be out to see them, Protestants and R.C.'s and Jews and Holy Rollers alike, Down the blazing street they'd come, a mile and a half of solid Orangemen, sweating out the beer in the strange, dignified "walk," to the wild squeal of the fifes and the rattle and blam and thud of the drums. And there'd be a cheer as one elated Irishman broke ranks and did a rumpety step-dance and slipped back into his place in line. And a round of clapping for a ladies' lodge, trim and dainty in their white dresses and fancy hats. Then to the park for the speeches. Ah, what grand, un- enlightened, intolerant speech- es we had in those days, when everyone was bigoted and pre- judiced and didn't even know it. It was there that I first learn- ed of the perfidy of the ,croamin, catholics," whoever they were, and the danger of the pope, whatever that was, and the bra- very and goodness of King Billy, whoever he was, and it was there that I first learned that some- ...2.100•21.0.14,16.61.01/6....1114.11*Irala..1.2.112.ft, BANTING FAMILY PICNIC Over 80 descendants of the late Mr. and Mrs. Tho mas Banting, ranging in age from nine days to 80 years, enjoyed a two meal picnic last Sunday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Cobleigh.
