Thompson, Publisher FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21, 1973 Winter's worst storm' hit the area on„Saturday and Sunday and piled up high snow drifts. A * heavy fall of snow whipped up by high winds made for problem driv ing, blocked roads and poor. vis- ibility 'on the week end. It was a contrast to the spring- like temperatures which we have enjoyed,for several weeks now.' Temperatures' as high as, 60 deg-, rees and a complete absence of snow had people believing that spring had really come, but St. Patricki day Saturday• certainly changed this outlook. Marth, through the years, has proven to,be an unpredictable month for weather. In 1947 the great "train wreck", north of Lucknow occurred in mid March. Eighteen years ago, about March 20, 'the road to Wingham was blocked in another March blizzard.' With the trees budding, the sap running and many lawns raked by March 16, it now seems that spring will be a few days yet in the coming as this is written March 18. of Ontario that some serious thoughts should be given to the present policiet of government. It was particularly evident in Huron Riding,:a Conservative stronghold for many years, both provincially and .federally , that the voter was disenchanted. The days of hard-headed fam- ily partisan politics appear4 to be dying a slow death in Canada, and rural Ontario is one of the last to give up. People have gradually begun to think for themselves'. We have heard stories.of early days when the votes coUld be accurately counted 'in a given poll before the, election. The last Federal election and this most recent Provincial by- election have proven that people ,are standing up and being counted when the need exists. 10 Years Ago MARCH 1963 H. D. (Yhd) thorrips'on Of Lucknow was appointed superin- tendent of Brucelea .Hayen at Walkerton, Paul Henderson won honours as a member of the Hamilton Junior "A" Red Wings. In previncial Junior A ranks he finished the season as the coach's selection for right wing on the first.all-star team and qualified for this posi- tion as the leading goal getter in the Junior A circuit. TO top 'a brilliant career Pautwas awarded the "trophy for the most gentle- manly player and was rated by Gordy. Howe as one of the best prospects in Junior A hockey. , Mr. and Mrs. Alex Percy of ,the Kinlough area lost their home iby fire. 30 Years Ago MARCH 1943 The Ontario Department of Education was again making prov- ision for the release of school boys, and girls for farm work, who were granted Department certificates • on recommendation subject to certain conditions. Such release was restricted to actual farm work in° the fields and in the farm buildings of those producing food from the land and for a period of at least 13 weeks, although not necessarily continuous. The • pupil also had to have 'a required standing in each school subject to qualify for this farm release pro ,. gram. R: H. Thompson, one of the oldest members of the Lucknow' Fire Department, resigned after almost forty years of continuous service. He was succeeded by J. L. MacMillan. The company recognized this long service with a surprise presentation of a tri- ,light lamp and occasional, chair. Austin Solomon was Fire Chief and R. J. Douglas, also a veteran member of the Company made the presentation. 5.0 YEARS AGO MARCH 1923 A large produce_and ice cream plant' was underway in Lucknow, .• a branch of Silverwoods of Lon- don.' J. R. McNab of Dungannon was, given the position of chief salesman and manager. The Mc- Nab family moved to Lucknow. and Mr. McNab't produce business in Dungannon was left, in charge or Bert Roach. *- Return From Winter Holiday Mr. and Mrs. Frank Field of Teeswater and Mr; and Mrs. Bill Schmid of Luckriow who have been in the south for 'the past LOOKING.

EVERYONE WELCOME • Several requests recently at . village council meetings for , permission to'erect mobile hoMes, build buildings, etc. has pointed to the necessity of having some type of zoning regulations for the village. From the comments of council, it is apparent that the need for zoning is realized and probabljr will-receive further discussion in weeks to corne'.. Because of the lack of planning in the early years- of the establish- ing of municipalities, When plan- ning 'was unheard of and unnecessary for those particular times, many municipalities, have grown with a 'bodge podge of hom- es, businesset, sheds, bunt, pens, fields arid streams. Of course, most of the damage was done years ago and village ' residents have to live with thit, The 'town now has a building by- law which forbids the' construction of certain buildings and this can effectively. control the .new con- struction. • What is needed now , and likely will come to pass at an early tit' e it, zoning 'which will set certain areas of the villsge as residential, commercial, industrial, etc. What is needed immediately is a subdivision designated for mobile hornet, • • 5' 1 * the decisive bow of voters in Huron and St. George ridings in last weekis by-election should be an indiction to the two -year-old leadership pf Premier Wm.
