M.. ` THE TIME HAS COME
It •'seems that the time has • .come for
•Lucknow to seriously :consider the matter
of a full time police officer, with emphasis
possibly . on the :night watchman . type • .of
law. enforcement. '
•"It will: cost money, ;and in this ,era of
spiralling tax rates, (`Lucknow 'being part-
• icularly fortunate in this respect) anything
that causes' a • further burden on . the tax-••
payer,•'must be given 'careful consideration.
But there comes a time when law ;en-
forcement.iand peace and ' serenity inthe
commgnity," cannot 'be, measured by the •
dollar sign. '
For too long there have been repeated
complaints ' of petty thieving, nocturnal
it driving. •
disturbances, and � reckless, wild g '
More recently, an outbreak ofvans
dalism, albeit outside the Corporation' in one
instance, has been followed, by . a series of
breakins . and ' burglaries, ' that have the pop-
ulace greatly . concerned.
By wayy' of argument, however, one
could • point to similar goings-on in con,.
munities' where they have a full time police
officer, or officers:,
Not a few feel that the answer is a
full time 'police' officer, with..athe. authority
'and responsibility to curb 'disorder, rowdi-
ness and robbery . in our community.
'Much` of : it maybe laid to irresponsi- •
tie youth, :but if their actions can be, or are,
no longer controlled by parental disciplines:
then it . remains with the 'Corporation to
take steps to enforce law .:and:. order. ' '
LET'S HAVE : NO :CAMOUFLAGE
The move to have the Canadian Tem-
perance
em perance. Act ,repealed in Huron County •
. seems.. to: ; have one predominate _ vocal
theme.. We 'hear.: of glaring; instances of
teenagers flourishing bottles and being seen
under the influence, while police.. are help-
less to control where ;intoxicants: are con-
sumed..
We are. not trying to defend the
C.T.A ,' but surely :those who seek its re-
peal are not upholding the .Lquor. Control
Act as a paragon of 'legislation that will
'stop teenagers obtaining and consuming,' or
will result in aduk imbibers • consuming the
stuff only where it is legal . to do so. ,
Let those who . seek the repeal of the
CT.A, admit what appears to be the 'chief
motive `.the establishment of outlets ;in. ,
Huron County, so that spirits will; be read- •
ily available for legal 'sale, as they . are
throughout Ontario,' with few exceptions.
Itis not our• purpose to: question or
judge the ' sincerity : of those who have .
spearheaded this move for repeal' of a law:
which'to many; appears to be antiquated and•
inefficient in some respects. But, ` it trust
be with tongue in cheek. 'that some join.
the vocal chorus ' for repeal, : ,proclaiming
the welfare ' of the teenager as their motive
.. for supporting the crusade..
"STAY ' IN SCHOOL" ,
This is the time of year when 'many
Parents search • for ammunition toconvince
their - teenagers ; to stay . in school'.'
, They watch their young man , weigh
the• value of education .against the thoughts
of work' and 'the ready,:cash which •is within
easy grasp at,, the nearest factory • or , other,
place of business. To obtain a job; money .,
and • the : things it :will, buy, and 'to. • gain a

pears

to do is to :n ake ,what he considers a small.

CENTENNIAL
AFTER THOUGHTS
We are reaching our first mile-
stone since the Centennial passed
into history, Our year has gone
and only -99 More to go.
• Those who will be responsible
for the next Centennial 'will at
that time no doubt. be wonder-
ing • what .the ' people who , lived
in. '1058 were like, and will be.
hunting; up historical' docwxnen�ts,
as. none living then will have
first hand information. They
will have to .investigate the same
way. we did to find •out some
thinig about. 1858.0 • • • •
• One hundred4 years has:.brought
about . unbelievable,, changes and
progress. In those pioneer,'days
our fore'' parents 'knew nothing
about our telephones, radios, te-
levision,..
e-
levision, , electric lights, wireless,
automobiles' and • . paved roads,
:flying machines, electric •toasters,
washers, dryers and''rn.any, many
more contraptions to 'num:erous
to mention,
With all this, 1, suppose,if
some of the centurians came aback
would •say about their candle
sticks, coal' oil lamps,, and stone
boats, "Those Were the good old
days." ,
Do you suppose in the year•
t
-yearshence,. a
•2058, ninety-nine
the next • centennial, the people'
wwill' . look back ' tp our . present
clay '•and say; "Wasn't , it funny.
the .: way folks• .bad; to live , in
1958.",
Us, -11' wonder! How ` • far can
you stretch. your imagination•
and • guess? 'We know • that the
world is going, to 'progress. What
can . it be? Do you suppose you'
night .listen in to a • conversation
'deciding' what ,they will.:, do over,
the week -end. .Will one say he
is going to :take -off for the moon,
and his .friend will'say that he
is going. to Mars That it might
take a :little longer and •cast more,
,but he thinks it'.s'..worth the dif-
ference, or ` will another.fellow
say.'' that he intends dropping. an
atomic -capsule' in his gas ;.tank
and go around thea World non. -
stop,
While you are thinking this
over, •I am going to write .a. few
thoughts ` relating to 'our ,1958
Celebration..
`Being , in . close touch at • all.
tines with • the Members, of the
Executive and 'all committees, I;
used to write to'' the Sentinel at
tunes enlightening the public. 'as
to what we had planned and also
how we were •progressing: "
• 'How we looked. ahead to: the
big day in fond anticipation.
Then came. the .realization' and
'then this •'historical event.went
on • its. way: into' 'history: But
everything ,did not go, for left
behind were.memories: and such
memories! I 'am, sure they,'°will
serve as happy thoughts to live'
'with to the end' of our days,
• Our dreams came to pass. We
had the home corning, meeting
of friends, ,greetiings, hand shakes,
'caresses; tears' of joy, laughter,
swapping of ' past experiences—
reaching back' in many: cases over'
seventy years. •
.`How we .enjoyed your letters,
also your generous • donations,,.
not only prior to the'home coon-,
ing, but .also after your • return
to your homes, We did • appreci-
ate the nice ' 'things you • said.
You' were unstinting in ' . your
praise, you''showed' your grati-
tude in many ways, thus making
us •all feel. so happy.
I know that, I speak for the.
many women and men, 'also girls
and boys who played' a. part 'in.•
the Lucknow. and District Cen
terinial, when I say" a big,• big
thanks' to all. So. often •when we
meet we rehearse ' some of the
impressive, experiences of it all,
I would say without+ fear of
contradiction that during,. the
Corking to-gether:in harmony of
our 'citizens that the' brotherlhaod
and friendshipin .Lucknow was.
never beforso
'May• T su pronounced:
ggset • that wherever we •
are; we be found cultivating; and
keeping alive this grand spirit,
As I conclude this ,letter the
words o that.good 'olc song
comes to my Mind, r'Wlll ye no'
come back again." •
Sincerely, W. L: Mack NZfE
