Believe it or not they ate 300 hot dogs and drank unknown quantities of hot chocolate and cans of pop. Well it was their day and we are sure they enjoyed the thrill of snowmobiling. The weather co- operated and after the recent storms no shortage of snow. The president and members of Branch 540 wish to express their appreciation to the many snow vehicle owners and operators who donated their time and machines for this Legion en- deavour. If it wasn't for these good people this party would not be possible—Again, Thank you. We also thank the good ladies who prepared the hot dogs etc. Each year these same lovely ladies give of their time and believe me it is greatly appreciated. (their photo appears elsewhere on this page). Again many thanks to all the good people, too numerous to mention,who assisted in any way in the success of this venture, which is growing every year.

Lucan council will be taking immediate steps to improve the current serious problem of dogs running at large in the village. Meeting in regular session Monday night, council authorized Reeve Ivan Hearn to set up a meeting with the London Humane Society to discuss the situation, The London Society is under contract to make weekly patrols through the village and pick up any animals on the loose. The subject was brought up Monday night when clerk Ed Melanson read a letter from Royden Herbert who complained of dogs being a severe nuisance in his area. When the letter reading was completed, councillor Norm Steeper commented, "Amen, I saw a lot of dogs running at large this morning. We have to take drastic steps to correct this problem." An agreement has been reached with the three neigh- bouring townships regarding the sharing of any deficits in the operation of the Lucan Com- munity Memorial Centre. The pact to cover the next two year period calls for the village of Lucan to take care of 47 percent of any deficit with Bid- dulph township picking up 37 percent and the townships of London and McGillivray each defraying eight percent of the deficit. For the year 1976 the overall deficit for the Lucan arena was $5,008.82 and council approved payment of the village's share of $2,354. The 1977 subsidy allocation on 1977 expenditures has been set by. the Ontario Ministry of Tran- sportation and Communications at $22,100 for construction and $7,500 for maintenance.
