The reaction to editorials by
Sentinel readers' is sometimes
slow , sometimes almost violent
and sometimes non existant. Last ,
week's comments on the aiena
seating produced more reaction
from readers, in a short time,
than any article written for some
•
time., A number of readers have
suggested to us what we should
say in future comments or What,
We should have said impast.
We write what is in our mind,
not what• is bugging ,someone
else. We continually suggest to
someone' with something to 'say to
stick his or her neck out and
write a letter to the editor. We
stick ours out every week but
don't wish to convey thoughts of
other people who have ideas and
comments of their own. The
columns'are open for letters to •
the 'editor. If we received just
a fraction of the comments
which have come to us on the
arena seating question, we yould
have some very interesting read-
ing and some different, outlooks
which would do well to be pres-
ented to the public.

Point Clark Lighthouse was wir-
ed for hydro and on April 1st the
light was turned on. As the beam
flashed-out from the 100 foot
tower over .the waters of this rock
point, it was illuininated' by elec-
tricity for the first time in the
over 100 year old history olthe
light.. , Jack Campbell was the '
lighthouse keeper at this time.
Seventy-five students of Third
and Fourth Rooms, Grades 5, 6 7,

ceived Gideon Bibles at a' unique

half-hour devotions period con-.
'ducted' by the Lucknow Minister-
lal,Association.
40 YEARS AGO
APRIL 1933
Effective May 1st, Village tax-
payers had an opportunity of pay-
ing 1933 taxes in advance and re-
ceiving a substantial rate of •
interest. Any ratepayer could
pay,, between the 1st day of May
and June 14th, any portion of his
or her .1933 taxes, up, to 75% of
the amount" of taxes paid in 1932.
On this payment, interest at the
rate of 6% per annum was allow-
ed up to December 14th. The
advance payment of taxes; thus
reduced the necessity of large
bank loans and the ratepayers
directly benefited'by the sub-
stantial interest rate allowed by
the village. .
Thee Langside "bear" which had
trappers on the trail for.a week
without success, turned out to be
a hoax staged by a Langside man.
The end of the trail finally led
to a discarded robe and the
"front and hind feet" of the bear.

The'Lucknow Juvenile hockey
team was well supported by fans
at Peterborough arena on Sunday
afternoon'when Lucknow and Hav-
elock played, in the seventh and
deciding game for the Ontario "D"
championship.
The two very evenly matched
teamsprovided hockey fans with
some thrilling actiorr throughout
the series. The support of
Lticknow area at Sunday's game in
Peterborough dreW some fine com -
ments from Havelock supporters
who praised Lucknow fore their
team and the interest of the sup-,
porters who drove about a 400'
mile round trip to see the game
and cheer on the Juveniles.
Sunday's garner was a "no non-
sense" affair.. The stakes were
.high and both teams Were out to
win. Chippy shoulders were hard
to find and hockey was played the
way •it was intended.• •
Despite the pressure of along
and hard series, which is hard to
lose when you have been so close,
Lucknow were gentlemen in de-
feat and a fine credit to the
Sepoy Town.

now Presbyterian Church has been
