It was a perfect indianSummer day, very similar to Nov. 11, 1918, when a whole world went wild with joy, that World War I was over. To many a Lucan resid- ent there was a feeling of sadness, as they watched the children march by, and no doubt there was many a silent prayer, that none of these 527 children would ever be called upon to make the sup- reme sacrifice, for home and country, Mr. Norman Steeper was in charge of the splendid program, which included a prayer of dedi- cation by Rev. Gordon Merkley, of Granton, the story of Fland- er's Poppy, by Rev. G. W. Sach of Lucan and the benediction by Rev. Gordon McDonald, also of Lucan, Two members of the Lucan branch of the Royal Canadian Legion were also guests. Mr. A. E. Reilly, was in charge of the Last Post ceremony and Mr. J. W. Smith distributed poppies to all present. The children taking part on the program were, David Brigham and Sharon Mardlin, who read Biblical selections, Mrs. Beatson's Grade '7 class, who gave a choral reading, "Com- mander Jolly, Ignores Death"; Mrs. Halliday's Grade 3, who re- cited Flander's Fields" and Jeff Park who placed the school's wreath on the cenotaph. The school girls' choir sang the Twenty-third Psalm and all join- ed in the "Remembrance Hymn" and Valiant Hearts" and also in the two minutes of silence. A pair of winners The 1967 season of the Lucan Homing Pigeon club came to a suc- cessful close Saturday with the annual banquet and presentations.

Then nine-year Kathie developed a sore shoulder and was out of school. Lastly five-year-old Lorna, while recuperating from a recent tonsil operation, climbed up into a window Saturday, and put her knee through the glass, inflict- ing a gash, which required six stitches.

PARENTS' NIGHT It was Parents' Night at the Biddulph Central School last Monday evening when parents could receive their children's first report and discuss diffi- culties with the teachers. The staff members were verypleased that 70% of the parents took advantage of this opportunity. No doubt the percentage would have been larger had it riot been Par- ents' Night, also at the Medway High School and many parents had children in both schools and had to make a choice. Parents who attended Biddulph Central had the opportunity of viewing the ultra modern three- room addition, which opened that day.
