Local people
under attack
Flies, flies, flies—millions of
flies have hit Lucan and vicinity.
They are inside the windows,
outside the windows and between
the windows. They are in the
basement, attic, sun-room and
living quarters. Old houses, new
houses, brick houses, frame
houses, arena and churches all
are buzzing with flies. In one
church, the rector had difficulty
giving communion.
Many residents are spending
the day with a fly-swatter in one
hand and a tin of Raid in the
other, while their neighbors are
vacuuming their homes several
times a day, only to find an hour
later, hundreds of "relatives"
have arrived to attend the "wake"
of their murdered kin.
What these pests live on, no
one knows, for they use the wind-
ows as a race-way and all day
long, up and down and round about
they race, humming like a.swarm
of bees driving residents half
crazy.
Where they came from is also
a mystery. If they holidayed in
Florida they have returned with
all their kin-folk, even unto the
third and fourth generation.
Verily the locusts of Biblical
days couldn't have been worse
than these pests of 1968.
Cubs to view

played.
Next week Mr. Fred Suter of
the OPP will show pictures of
"Safety First", which will b(
followed by a discussion.
