ENFORCEMENT:' 'WELCOMED
Lucknow now has, for. •the first time:
in the history of the municipality, a full
time p e officer. fficer. He.' is : Chief Constable
_..
Joseph. Balzer. °
The Sentinel welcomeshim, as, we
are sure, ` will . all residenti.. who have a
respect for. law ; and order ',and', ' a desire.
p •
that it be enforced;
It is .unfortunate tlate, in every corn.,nlunity, there are ' those Who distain au-
thority, and . defy it It is that . very. minor
group which . makes 'law enforcement nec-
essary.
Constable: Balzer has , not accepted .his
,position. here with' the. idea of "cleaning
the,, town, Rather . he hopes to, and
will strive to, 'carry out his.' duties with,
friendliness: and ' co-operation, so that law
and order may return (to . The Sepoy Vil=
lage without the need for ' him to "get
tough:": But he is a qualified and exper-
ienced officer 1who canbe just that if nec-
essary.
Already Chief Constable Balzer's pre-
sence in the : Village is apparent His ' task,
however, is . not an ' enviable: one, nor >'Will
his presence guarantee ,the : absence ;o f crime..
or infractions ,,of the law, "which,': despite
policing, occurm every, community.
But he does deserve the co-operation
and ` backing of every law abiding citizen,
and one thing which must .:not hamper him;
in ' his task is interference from any quar-
ter.
Police Chief had be-
come

imperative. The only objection ` to
this ' courseof action being , sooner taken
by the Cduncil, had been the cost.

Chief Constable and Mrs. Baize have

comers to, the, community they are rmst.

THE"NEWS RELEASE" SCOURGE
On more than one occasion, we" have.
referred, to the °deluge of freepublicity
and news releases which pour, into the
weekly newspaper office from "big business
and •government departments. ;
=
Salaried public' relations officers grind
out the grist with regularity and • ` persis-
tence, despite requests to be, taken off the
mailing list. ;'
•:' '.
Monday mornin s mail was a classic
example, and with time at a premium, we
:were thoroughly " "browned off" by • the
time we'' were ' finished glancing, through
this ' material before consignin g it to. the
waste ' .paper basket. One can't ' take a
chance on tossingit away without at least
a. cursory'glance: ` •'
Here's what we found in Monday
morning'smail: releases, someof them.,
running; to s everal pages, from. the On-
tario Safety .League,' Ontario Department
of Health, 2 : separate mailings from the
Ontario Department of Agric lture, ' Na-
tional "Safety League, Canadian Council of

fn•"Camp• At �•Algonquin Park
(By George ' Wh:i'lby, Scouter) "
The time went to fast and
our. day to ''heave came with wet
tents • to Toad ►bu tit wrasr. •soon
done .and we were'. WI' WAY
home.. It rained almost •aU. the
way Thome so we ate in tale Ims;,
On arr4 ving.: in Lucknbvv the sun.
was shining. so up went the tents ...
again to dry. , . ,
Our . summer camp . was over,.
but 'I ,think it will not be :for-
gotten for along time. The• camp
fire' that burned with 'a steady
flame for : over an hour without
any • more fuel. The big r bear
looking up the hill, with his . ears
up, then,' • :there was, something
about an ' 61d • Indian cemetery .
that ' the old ranger, mentioned
not too far from camp.'
The .First •Lucknow Boy Scout
Troop had their summer camp
it Algonquin' Park from July
With to " August 4111. We left
Lucknow 'by bus •at• a a.m. on
Saturday morning; ' . with 16
scouts; 1i tioap leader and. 'their
two ,leaders. .One .scout . met us
there to make 20 nm .a!ll:
We •had our; •.moon lunch at the
Champlain monument at . Orillia.
From there to the park tltirrou;g'h
the north • country . was new " to'
many of the boys > from• the . ex-
pressions : we heard. going
through some of the rock ..outs.
,We arrived' ' at your camp at
about 4 p.sn:. and .aftex much.
consideration by the .bo$ , .a
camp site was chosen and: the
tents were- soon up. I think the
boys picked ;the best site in the
area. It wasin a stand of jack
and white ,pine overlooking the
M . k�a' River.

Canoeing seems to be the thing
in :the north' • so after some dis-
cussion we • rented: 'rtiwo :' at Rock
Lake. The older ` Scouts brought
tlhem Black '.to camp. After some:
'training. the +bOYs.did very—well-
and, . the canoes were going
'steady on our. strip•, of water
vvih t�h was always quite calor.
We; • went on an a1.l day . hike
Onthe Highland Trail:: We ,took
the eight mile hike around • 1ro
vokang 'Lake, on this ;hike there
.were • several ..Wonderful; beaver
dams, one new ;orie just / built.
Some, of ',the boys stook• thein
fishing rods on the hike but 'vire
didn't have. too much `time : to
'fish Some big . mss were:, seen
'but. only the small ones were
caught. The ibis was, a welcome;
Sight ' even ;tahough' the boys 'en
joyed their hike..'
"We rvisited all the, spots of : M-
itered , in the ,park.. The' Lookout
Was . very beautiful. to .:some •of'
the. 'boys and 'the, large ripe (blue
berries appealed to others `:
The' tntlseum 'was very educha
tional to the .Scouts. A buclt .deer:
carne "along. just' as we :came . 'out•
with 'phis ,howls still 4in, the vel
vet, ;.that• 'day seeirned to tie the
day for bucks as several were
seen. Some: of ..the . scouts.:'kept
.trackof their deer 'sighting. and
were in 'the twenties. •
We all went one evening •'• to
see if ' we• could see any bears.
'Although it was raining , hard :We
saw, for ' sure, ,;two large ones
and' two cubs. Some thought they
could. see two snore 'Tri ''tile srha-'
+doors;
The , pioneer .logging exhibit
:was. interesting ,to',�the scouts •as
they spent' : quite ' ssosne time`
there, and' it' rained almost stea-
dy .all that: day: One: log ::end.

Most' of the cooking 'was done
by the boys and ' the 'meals were
very, good, the 18 boys averaged
6 `•quoits• of mnilk per meal and,
over 92,90 .00 worth of•' food was
coriaunled and nothing was was-
ted, except what the ` coon got,
