By HOMER PIGEON Jack Hardy has flown to second Positioh <in four races with his young birds. Just to let us know he doesn't just fly second rate birds, he turned on a burst of speed this Week that had us all sort of wondering. He had one bird this' week that flew the Tweed race and was 34 minutes ahead of any other Lucan bird. We just didn't think this was right to be so far, ahead, so ,some. of the boys tried tq catch this bird to see what he had done to it to make it fly so fast. If you see Norm walking around with a cane in his hand it is because the Public schools list enrollments The following was the enrolment for local schools last week: In Lucan, Grade 1, Mrs. Allison, 33; Mrs. Cobleigh, 30; Grade 2, Mrs. Whiting, 31; Mrs. Blair, 30; Grade 3, Mrs. Mikita, 31; Mrs. Halliday, 31.

After attending Decoration Service at Birr United Cemetery Sunday, Mr. & Mrs. Lawrence Grose of Tillsonburg called on Mrs. Erwin Scott and Miss Lina Abbott and also called at the C.

WANTED IMMEDIATELY l'intetters For The' LUCAN LANES To Be Re-Opened About Sept, 16 PHONE MRS, d RACE HENDERSON 227-4236 Luau or 453-0691 London bird kicked Norm on the knee.. ThatJack flueS, fly lively Pries. Chuck Barrett in St. Marys had a fair bird to take second PPsition, but it was 52 yards a minute plower than Jack's. Jack got third position also and then Clarence was there to look after fourth, fifth and seventh, with. Chuck being in between his second and third bird to get sixth position, Willy Vanneste took eighth and ninth and that looked after the prize money, As the afternoon wore on there were birds to the other lofts in this order— Dwight Henderson, T & G loft, Norm Hardy and Jeff Culbert. After watching for a couple of hours, it gets to be quite a task to tell if it is a pigeon you see coming over the horizon or just another butterfly. The second race of the day was from Peterborough. Now Willy has been working away to reach the No. 1 spot on the race card. Well, he made a very good job of it on Saturday. Once Willy got sight of his birds and got his hands on the first one, it was game over for the rest of us. He was up to his old clocking form once again. He clocked his three birds in 41 seconds to take first, second and third. The dust sure must fly around that loft when Willy clears the decks for action stations. Now Jack Hardy has not been known to be a greedy person but he sure likes to get what is coming to him. After taking first and third in the Tweed race, he came right back to get fourth, fifth and sixth at Peterborough. It would seem like this was a race for Willy and Jack that was sponsored by the rest of the club. Willy's birds were almost an hour ahead of some of ours so rather than say we flew very poorly we should say Willy flew a very good race. Jack says he would have been closer to Willy if it hadn't been for his little boy kicking a tin can just as his first birds were about to land. He also said he would have felt better if it had been his youngest one instead of his oldest boy. Next week is the big event of the year with the Derby race from Tweed. This will be the race where all the clubs come to Lucan Produce on Market St. to band their birds. • Livestock and Agricultural Shows • Western Horse Show • Wandering Musicians • Go-Go Dancing 4 a 4, 0 S • Volkswagen leaps into the present.

MEETING The September meeting of Holy Trinity Anglican Church Women was held at the Harold Corbett farm last Wednesday afternoon with 14 members and 10 former Lucanites and friends present.

These boys are not really Indians, but Boy Scouts who have learned many Indian dances, under the direction of Scoutmaster J. F. Bushears. They now have a repertoire of 100 dances, gathered from many sources, and helped by many Indians. The spectacular costumes were made by the boys themselves, with some help from their mothers. Visitors from other lands included women from Norway, Denmark, the British Isles, India, East Africa, South Africa, Australia and many others. There were approximately 7,000 women in attendance. Leaving Lucan at 5 a.m. the local ladies joined one of the two Middlesex buses for the trip to Lansing, stopping for breakfast in Port Huron. Unfortunately this bus had engine trouble and did not arrive until nearly noon, so these ladies missed the morning session.
