A 'FORWARD GQMMiJ IITY STEP
The opening of the Lucknow Bowl and.
Billiard Academy. next Monday is a progres
sive step in the business arid social life of the
village of Lucknow and surrounding` rural
ar owling and billiards have a large'fol-
lowing
ol-
area. B.
1, ' g 'doubt local indoor bowling
owin .and. no ' }�
enthusiasts will. greet the local' alleys as an.:.
added convenience to them.. ,It will no.
..longer be necessary to drive t' 'neighbouring
centres to enjoy the game.It' should also
provide the non -bowler with an opportunity.
to, learn the game at homeand should make
a family sport '.for' many..
Credit for the establishing of .the Luck-
now alleys goes 'to Lammert Van Der Veen,'
•the owner and his son John who will manage
the new business enterprise. This family who
came to Canada from Holland 14. years
ago ,has .. shown ;J their confidence: in the 'f u-:
• ture of Lucknow and • District. The people
of this village and ' rural, area in return will
have the opportunity 'to'. confirm the opti-
mism of the new. .owner:
.Every new business .'that • establishes
.litself in our . area it . ar notch in' the' steady
and deliberate 'progress that this community
has shown in 'past. years.. We congratulate
the Van Der Veens on 'this forward step and
-wish' 'them success in future years''in the
Se'poy Town.
DESERVES A BIG HAND
The variety, concert :. staged in the
Lucknow District High School auditorium
_last Thursday evening drew "raves" from

Neither storm nor sickness could pre-
vent the show from going on, ..arid its success

entertaining program,Twith-adaptations_: to
the various months of the year,
Special ' plaudits must go to Lloyd
Ackert 'who, 'as master of ceremonies intro-
duced each . number in his own imaginative .. .
way with appropriate costuming.
It was one of those .off-the-cuff pro-
grams
;with little or no rehearsing which
went .over 'fin., a' spectacularly successful way.

draw which' ended recently appears to have
had considerable merit. There are, however,
lessons, to• belearned' from any such .pro-
motion. .^
' It may be that this weekly draw, which
covered a twenty-six week period, •was , a
little too extended on the part of the par-
ticipating merchants, and that handing out
of coupons fell off either : by neglect, over-
sight, or due to Some extent to • the nuisance
angle of the long campaign.
Certainly the prize winners, who were •
in the aggregate $340.00 richer, had . 'no
Complaints. • '
Merchandising promotions are essent
ial from time totime, and there are •few.
progressive communities which do not un-
dertake some such business inducement reg-,
ularly:
The chief lesson, to be 'learned from
the' Shop-In-Lucknow promotion was that
no outside promoter's services should be re'
4 g'
uir . The simplicity of.this and other sit
-d
iliar promotions, makes them ; quite within
the scope . of an active Business Men's .'As-
sociation.
The 'cost.. would • be much less to .the'*
'participants and ' :the rewards„ Much . higher
to the winners;•
LITTLE REASON FOR CRITICISM
The . _ pre -presentation criticism and
publicity of. the CBC program the "Open
Grave", no doubt ` gave this program a
much larger viewing ' audience than' CBC
dramas generally. enjoy. We enjoyed it
and 'saw nothing offensive about it. .T.h e
name, however, at the Easter season had
implications which may have stimulated the"
criticism. However, as the show went, it was
typical of today's . factual ,, and on�the-scene. T
handling vo funusual news stories; and for
realistic drama it was much superior to the
customary over dramatized productions: that
are frequent. CBC farewith the .trade -mark.
• of too many'' of these plays being neurotic,.
screaming and constant drinking character-
izing.
. Even when people are all in the same
boat there is usually one of them who has
to do the' .rowing.

gn
very exciting and dramatic mo-
ments in the legislatre. The of-
fensive section 14 of the Police
Act was withdrawn but'. not after
both opposition parties threaten
to filibuster unless the section'. was
withdrawn. Ma n y . government
members ' very determinedly in
sisted they would vote against the
government motion to send the.
bill to committee without 'second!
reading: After, 40 speeches which
took over 51/2 hours the • Prime
Minister filially agreed to with-
draw .section 14 but immediately
after doing sohe read a letter
of resignation from the Attorney
General, Honourable Fred Cass.
Mr.. , Cass had. initiated 'the big-
gest public outcry in years by the
introduction of BM 99 the Police
Act. • AS the debate wore on it,
became obvious that Mr. Cass had
no . other alternative but to re-.

Horticultural Society at the Rip-
ley District High School, ' followed

The Prime Minister 'felt that the
bill did not really infringe on the
basic rights of the" individual, Mr.
Cass felt that it did and Mr, Ro
berts, the former Attorney Gen-
eral, didn't agree with either the •
Prime Minister or_ the. • Attorney
General. It was apparent that. the
bill. was not given the close scru
tiny. in cabinet that it should .have
had.
However after the House rose:
after the' : most emotionally ex-
hausting . day in many. years, ac- •
cording to many of the. older"
members, one. could ' not help ; but •
feel the tragedy . of the hour; the
'province had lost a. hard work-
ing, devoted public servant in Mr.
Cass.• . .,
The house was ' perorouged for
Easter and will resume sometime
