The new Bonds have fourteen regular annual interest coupons which can be cashed each year as they come due. The first payS 5.75%; the second, 6.50%; the next three, 6.75% each, and the last nine a big 7.00% each. Total regular annual interest amounts to $95.50 on each $100 Bend.

By HOMER'PIGEON Over the past 190 race seasonp the Lucan: Homing club took part in 31. races. There were 18 old bird races from 50 to .500 miles and 13 young bird races from 50 to 300 Mlles. There were a total. of 3259 birds shipped from the,Lucan Chi!). Here is a run dOWII of hoW every one ended up the flyipg peason and the odd comment on the loft, Willy Vanneste shipped a total, of 508 birds and came up with nine firsts, twelve seconds and 14 thirds. This was a very good example of bow most of us would like to fly birds. Clarence Hardy shipped 526 birds and he had 6 firsts, five seconds and three thirds. This was not one of Clarence's best years. However he is still almost an untouchable when it Conies to the 500 mile race. Jack Hardy was next with 380 birds in competion for four firsts, five seconds and three thirds. For a fellow in this age group this member still has a lot of young ideas. Next came Mert Culbert and boys with 428 birds, some in competition and some just for exercise. Of course there were a lot of other members in this category also. Mert's birds finished first on four occasions, second twice and third five times. This loft holds the record for the fastest bird in the Lucan club since we started to keep records. Next on the list is our President Norm Hardy. He sent 310 birds for a record and captured a pair of firsts, seconds and thirds, Norm is capable of much better flying than this but he some times has to fly at a disadvantage as his loft is not as close to his house as some of us have ours. Then there is the pole climhing Dwight Henderson, He sort of shook es all up at the first 500 when he took over top position from some of the old timers. He sent 247 hirdS and was home in front on one occasion and captured three thirds. Dwight paid his way almost every week with his pool money he picked up from the week before. Next came Chuck Barrett from St. Mary's. He sent a total of 253 birds into cpmpetition and picked up a first and second and two thirds. Chuck flies with St, Marys club also so it keeps him busy trying to keep things straight on race day. Next comes the T & G loft. This is the loft flown by Tom and Gord Hardy who live on top of old smokey, just before you go down the big Lucan hill. The Hardy birds captured one top prize, finished second twice and third once. These two boys have always flown much better than this. It would seem to indicate there are more girls than pigeons involved in the lives of these two lads. Anyway we want to Wish them let-5 of luck in both department_ next Year. Next we have Mr, Clarence ggett of London who was 10Piting after his son's loft, btlt who Made such a good lob of it he Will Probably be a greeter threat to US next year. He shipped a total of 7 4 birds and managed to get 2 firsts out of it,. If he sends more next year he: Will be looking for more positions, sill Emis who is the Arva member of our club sent 81 birds and was able to get two firsts. He will be worth keeping an eye on for next year, Last but not least is Carol Hardy. She sent a total of 5 birds in the young bird races. She didn't get any positions but she was the only one with 100% returns. (No losses from this loft). It seems like tender loving care is the answer to her success. If some of the members didn't fly as well as they would have liked to there is one little quotation that is worth mentioning at this time. "whatsoever a man soweth, that, shall be also reap". Clarence Haskett says I will have to put the trophies in his window by myself, He won't even help me dust them this year. However he will be there the night of the banquet to help with the fun and games. We hope to see a lot of other familiar faces there that night too. Church news Correspondent: Mrs. Frances Seward
