PLAUDITS FOR . WARDEN JOYNT
Warden George W. Joint rec• eived
the plaudits of the -citizens .of Bruce County
and neighboring; counties at . • a banquet in
Walkerton on ' Thursday. They were, well
deserved, for Warden Joynt has spared no
time or .effort in fulfilling his duties with
distinction and success.
'1959 has been a :momentous year in
the; County of Bruce marked by numerous .
progressive and far 'reaching, achievements,
climaxed by y . the announcement of 'a' nu=
• clear.' power plant to be. established within
the .County. It may well be that it .will be
an retrospect that the full. import of this.
year of achievement will be realized.
It is , noteworthy' that twice within.
little more than a. decade Bruce County
has had the occasion: to honour a Lucknow
warden, but it is ' doubly significant that it.
is •:father and . son.. The .present warden's
father,' John Wesley Joynt, held the office
in 1947. • ,
The ' nattie Joynt has been synony-
m, us with • municipal. .service.: The late
John . Joynt,' father' and grandfather of Wes
and Georges 'was reeve of . the. Village, a
half' century; ago, and during his tenure in
office, one of the accomplishments was the
building of the Carnegie Hall: Truly that
must have been . a momentous occasion in
this .village.. It is also significant, that. a
Carnegie Hall renovation program started
a few years ago, should reach its 'climax
'during the reeveslip• . of his grandson:
Lucknow has . given the County of
Bruce four wardens, all •having .'served
their county and . their village well. The late
Robert .: Johnston, anuncle, incidentally. of
Warden Joynt, held .the office in 1921;
and in ` 1893; the late James Bryan, ; Editor
of : The Sentinel,; had the distinction .of be-
ing. the first reeve from the Sepoy Village
to serve. as Bruce County., warden
