DALEY'S WEEKLY COMMENTS Family day a success $unshiners meet today Surprise party for anniversary Mr. & Mrs. Dale Froats, Heather and Judy entertained Mr. & Mrs. W. H, Fronts with a surprise party at Centralia Community Centre Saturday, on the occasion of the latter's 25th wedding anniversary. A poster of their wedding pictures was compiled by Mrs. Jack Webster who had been a bridesmaid. Assisting the hostesses serving lunch, were Mr. & Mrs. Ray Mills, Mr. & Mrs, Bruce Warner, and Mrs. Gordon Froats. Among the nearly 50 guests were some from Chatham, Kemptville, Appin, Gorrie, Walkerton, London, Denfield, Thamesville, and Lucan. A number of members of the Sunshine Club have been meeting each week at the Masonic. Hall, during the holiday period for a friendly game of euchre, although no organized games were arranged. Thirteen members attended the first official meeting Thur- sday, and friendly euchre was played. Those present were reminded that new officers will be elected at the last meeting in September, and were asked to be ready with nominations. Jim Traher of London had asked that as many as possible of the members would be present at this meeting for him to take pictures for his centennial collection, but the message was not received in time to let everyone know, so the event was postponed for a week. It is hoped that all will know by this Thur- sday and that there will be an excellent attendance. Although most members seem to prefer to play euchre to any other game, there are some who would like to play cribbage or bridge. If there are any Lucanites, aged 60 or over who would be interested in any ac- tivity other than euchre would they please communicate with a member or come to the Masonic Hall Thursday at 1.30 p.m. Lions donation to Granton park Members of Lucan Lions Club opened a new season with their meeting September 7 with an 80 percent attendance. President Jim Shipley was chairman and the main topic was a discussion on the Lucan Trade Fair '71, Trade Fair chairman Lion Jack Tutty gave a financial report which was most satisfactory. Members decided to have a live orchestra for the regular monthly dances'. A motion was passed to donate $100 to Granton Park. Next meeting will be Sep- tember 20.

By Sid Daley Our Sports Officer has done it again!! Congratulations Comrade Gord Elson for a job well done, Yes Sir an excellent job indeed.

Why Comrade, Sunday, September 12th, 1971 was FAMILY DAY at Hill Billy Haven, There was entertainment for everyone, races for young and old - corn on the cob, hamburgers, for some reason the wieners Comrade Hillman? All in all it was a grand day, even the weather co-operated for a change. If you didn't attend you were the loser comrade. If you say you didn't know anything about it, then you don't read the posted notices in the Sea Land and Air Lounge and if you say you didn't hear about it, then you didn't attend at the last general meeting of your branch. How's that for spoiling all your alibis for not showing up. 'Real Good Show' Comrade Gord, keep up the good work. Incidentally the Sports Officer is shaping up quite a sports program for your entertainment around Branch 540.
