MAXWELL'S GENERAL STORE MONTGOMERY MOTORS .McDONAGH INS. & REAL ESTATE THE VILLAGE SHOP JAMIESON'S GENERAL STORE "The Fans Go Wild, Paul Hend- ,erson's Miracle" went on sale last week and the Sentinel has exper- ienced a brisk demand for the book to date. Reaction to th,e book has. varied, Personally, we found the book very 'interesting and once we pick= ed it up,, found it difficult to quit until we had read every ehap- ter . But like many good books, it is controVersial. The references -by. author John Gault to the vil- lage of Lucknow would arouse the ire of any Lucknowite or one who once claimed himself to be a. LucknoWite. It is very plain that author Gatilt just doesn't know what he is. talking about' when referring to small towns and par- ticularly Lucknow. In case you haVen't read the book, the author starts his descrip- tion of Paul Henderson's home town in this fashion., "Lucknow is one of those little farm coni- inunities that don't belong to the second half bf the 20th century , a town that's old and tired and ready to die, a town that has liter- ally and metaphoricallY shrunk with age. 'It lingers in' twilight, almost inert , etc. etc.". It is quite apparent that Mr. Gault has not done his home work., Had he really been interested in researching his book,, he would have talked, to people in Lucknow Who would have made it clear to him that Luelmow is very, Much alive. But Mr. Gault was appar- ently satisfied with a quickly fOrm ed impression of The Sepoy Town. heatW about the new swimminz poor in the park, the medical centre that is in the planning stages, the newly opened bank and liquor store and the many other forward steps in this com- munity over the past few years. Perhaps he should have talkecl.to .the local newspaper publisher who has seen the subscription lilt in- crease about 50%' in a' little over ten 'years to an all time high of , 2550 weekly: I Does this sound like a commun- ity that is "dying" But once again we would like to repeat that we enjoyed the bbok despite Mi..Gault's illusions about ‘Lucknoi. We do hop:e that he researched the other informa- tion in the:hook more accurately and thoroughly than she, did about, Lucknow. One of the first.reactions we received locally about the book Was• from a gentleman, who has' been a reSident of •Lucknow for a little over a .year,, coining froth *a much larger centre. "Sure en- joyed the 'book he said, but his comments about LucknoW are un- true and unfair. This might be true-of many, small• towns , but not Lucknow", he 'said. The sad part of it is,that this favoutable comment will be read by Sentinel readers, most of Whom already knoW this fact. Mr,' Ganit's illusions will be, read internationally and accepted as fact. - Ripley turned down both liquor. questions last week. Past habits of the voters on these questions , *ally show a higher percentage of people favouring a dining • lounge where liquor can be sery. ed with meals than a Straight liquOr lounge for the serving ,of drinks only.' • It is interesting to note that Ripley reversed this trend by shoWing two more votes in favour of a Straight drinking lounge •than the drinks with 'meals proposal. • Honoured On 80th Birthday Mrs. Elizabeth Ferguson of' Lucknow celebrated her 80th birth day on 'February 26th.

BACKWARDS THROUGH THE SENTINEL FILES WITH MARGARET THOMPSON.' *•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••4••••••••••••• The assessment notices receiv- ed recently from the Giey Bruce Asiessment office in Owen Sound were of no help to' the people with commercial assessments. The assessment office provided 'approximate figures-on what tax es would have been in 1972 if the new market value assessinent had been in effect. But they only gave residential figures and the guy with the commercial and business assessment was com- pletely "irithe dark" until the Lucknow Reeve, George Joynt - did some calculating of his own and gave local comrnercial,fig- ures in last week's issue. Without Reeve Joynri local calculations, the commercial property owners would haVe been. given a pretty good "snow job" by Owen Sound and`the last date for appeal , March 15. .would have passed with them still gazing at their assessment notices in bewilderment. It would have been too late, by this time, to appeal. Titleaven's Mill pond was a bee-hive: of activity where the cutting and hauling of ice was being .rtished at full speed.
