Lucknow Village Council, in
co-operation with Ontario Housing
Corporation, is presently conduct-
ing a survey to 'determine the need
for "geared-to-income" senior
citizen housing in Lucknow.
Residents 60 years af age and
over are eligible for such housing.
'Brochures Outlining the housing
proposal were recently mailed to
residents of the village who are
eligible for the over-60 housing
proposal. The literature,
contained an information form
• which should be filled in and mail
ed, Postage free. '.It is not an
application• form and does not
obligate a person in any way.
If you are interested, in senior
citizen housing. with rents gear-
ed oh.your ability to pay, fill,
out the forth at once and Mail it
in. If , you 'did not receive this
literature, and are interested,
contact the village clerk.
The present hockey playoff
season has been attracting good
crowds to the Lucknow arena and:
would attract even greater
crowds if adequate seating was
avatokle. for fanglo. V!' atch the •

because of lack of comfortable;
accessible seating. ' Younger

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK
people are left at home because
they are not tall enough for the
first row standing, nor for the
second row unless dad holds
them on his shoulders, and that's
not much fun for him. The rest
of the fans merely tolerate, a bad
situation.
The LuCknow 'arena is a pretty
decent winter recreation centre
following the renovation a few
years ago. The community is
fortunate to have a facility such
as this.'
But it sadly lacks one thing,
and lacks it to' the point where
many are ashamed when visiting
fans come' to visit our commun-
ity. ,
' / There have been several
serious attempts by groups and
individuals to put seating in. the
arena ,' but each time the effort
runs into a• wall of red tape.
We're still waiting. Why?
'a • .
A typical example of the in-
creased cost of any service which
is taken over by either the Prov-
incial or Federal government was
made quite obvious to us last
week! An ad was received from
the Asiessment Review,Court at
ileWmarket about foriliconiing
hearings in the area, The ad was
sent registered mail, cost 580.
We deal with hundreds of advertis
ets by mail each year and none
'of them find any need to register
their advertising instructions.
Seems "like a` small matter,: but
when you consider similar waste
in dozens of other government
departments, is, it any wonder
that we are now being asked to
pay 75) sales. tax. Control of
spending within: government'
might just prevent increases like
this. °
