The Lucan lads were promised a more evenly matched game the next day when they met an "A" team and this proved to be the case when early in the second period Lucan was trailing by a score of 2-0 in what promised to be a very good game. However, the referees let every infraction in the book pass and soon the game turned into what looked like a twelve man tag team event. Unable to control the game by that time, the referees made their only good call of the day and ended the game. It was a sour note to end what had been a very enjoyable weekend.

Cec Nickles put the Lucan club into a 1-0 lead in the first period and then Mildmay took over and scored four straight goals.

Here we are approaching election time again. At our March general meeting a nominating committee was appointed to come up with a suggested slate of Officers to run your Legion af- fairs for the next term.

Ministry of Transportation & Communications 2 P.M. It's actually quite simple. All you do is accumulate fifteen demerit points and lose your licence for thirty days, Do it again and lose your licence for six months. In this province, it definitely pays a driver to score a big fat zero. Ontario's demerit point system is designed to convince the poor driver to drive properly. Drivers who do not improve are then taken from the road because they're a'menace.to pedestrians and to other drivers, But the system is not at all unjust. It's aimed at telling the driver where he's gone wrong and giving him plenty of time to cor- rect his faults. For instance. When you've accumulated six points, you'll be notified and urged to improve your driving. When you've got nine, you'll prob- ably be asked to attend a private interview and re-do your driving test. At fifteen points, you'll lose your licence for thirty days and drop back to seven points. Oet fifteen again and you Won't drive for six months, nowever, your record won't be Hon. John R.
