Despite the lack :of an arena to play in, Lucknow minor hockey carried onunder more - difficult; circumstances this year and the resultshave been com-mendable. ' A:.special word of praise is in order for the xnany men and women of the ;surrounding area' who are keenly , interested in the promotion of minor' hockey. Their efforts are taken for 'granted by, many and few wordsof praise ever pass their way. They are doing, • a fine : job for the youth of the ° community. Another word . of thanks and appreciation is in order for the district arenas who have arranged' ice ' time :for' the Lucknow 'teams this year. Much is said by ; sportsmen . about . the sup "pport, or lack of f ,for minor hockey in communities such . as ;ours. We must not'lose t „ factthatminor hockeyis onl ..one method of contribut. sght'of the n , Y ing to the, youth work within our community. Minor hockey. concerns only ,half .of the.. young people, the boys, and only a percentage of, the boys are able to develop into: hockey players with . any degree of • ability ; • Many citizens ' :of the • communit are contributing : to 'other youth ; work, for both boys:. and- girls, and feel that their .contribution s what they are bestable to offer end.what ', they . possibly feel is the, • most benefit People assist ;in the areas .in which' they are interested. • The' hockey coach would no,doubt:'be lost and bored at a.glee club rac-. Y,,.P tice. The Girl Guide and Brownie leaders ' probably • wouldn't be very skilled at' judging a 441 calf. But they all have an' impor..tant' part to play ,in the. : youth work ° a4�c mmunity. So do dozens and dozens < of . other. people who • are; 'providing: leadership as they know how. ' Minor hockey is a part, ,but only a small part, of a Series '• of `.programs which assist the youth of our community, So;let's' give; the utmost ,praise to our. men and women who are interested, : inminor hockey,.; But let's. ' not be too' critical of the many who are not . interested. Let, them "do their own thing„ and be thankful that: they. are doing it. :'��"y�'•i—: i-: Z"�'+i—:.:- II"�► .'�. i -J�''r 'i'.�.�..5 .'�..�"i : ice' 'If"r i�'i•'Y!'i"�P SKI.

Lucknow Sentinel, Dear Don: AS . a former resident, a fre- quent. visitor and one who is. interested in • the general welfare and development, of the Lucknow community, I feel promptedto express some of my feelings` and • opinions; concerning. the prob- • lems which now • surround the Lucknow arena, These problems 'are: • not new 'byany means, they have been discussed in the past (1962) and they are.. now being rediscussed (1968-69). However, .besides :being: very 'interesting, it is: also very disheartening to see how these problems, have taken on ' an entirely different emphasis, and interpretation as: both time 'and municipal governments pass.: on. Isthe problem one of safety or. one of renovation or. one of a completely new. structure? : The answer depends. •upon who you talk to and upon 'the latest: eng- ineering reports. What the vil- lage, of.. Lucknow.. and the surround- ing area really. needsis fewer ' .fact finding investigations and more fact, facing .action. • You have been without the . sm.- , vices of your arena for one winter now Some people• feel that there 11 • is no problem at ' all and that they could open the arena any time A:family ' dinner was held that 'they. so desired:.
