To Owners Of Cows and We wish to call attention of owners of cows in the* village Lucknow to the following regulation contained in- the Milk by-law which has recently been put into force. *• “No milk or cream may be lawfully sold, offered for aa^le qr delivered in ■ the municipality of the Village of Lucknow, unless such milk or cream has been produced, handled and distribu­ ted in compliance with the, regu- - lations set out in this By-law..’’ It will be observed that this ‘ by­ law applies not only to milk vendors but also to all those who .sell or de­ liver milk. It applies as much to the man who sells milk to one family as to the man who, sells it*to ynihriy. It is required that^all owners, who sell or deliver milk *that they obtain a the the ob- hnd the local Board of Health and having passed Mhspection by the local veter­ inary surgeon;^Dr. ~J, -Mt Keane.

I / / For the first time in three weeks; motor traffic has bgen able to get in and out of. the village, On Sunday a caterpillar plow gouged its way through frozen banks of snow. and opened this ’ twelve-mile stretch, which 'serves as "a connecting link with a motor road outlet both south and nor.th from Wingham. ' / This eighteen-ton monster : digs its nose into deep hard banks, and turns the drift out, as easily, ap-/ parent]y, as a field plow would; tuyn back a furrow of moist, soil.

A single track Jwas all that, was plowed out and "to open the road,-in this manner took somewhat over 8 hours, the plow leaving Wingham' about-9-avm.-and arriv.ed .h.ere_before 6 p.m, It was •. expected the i;ound trip would occupy about 12 houi^s as the machine is of very low s^eed. Unofficial information states' that a charge of $8.00 an hour is made in operating the plow. A gang of about a half dozen men. followed ..in. a truck anA were engaged in shovelling out Janeways that in many cases were blocked as. the plow woujd pile up banks, where the snow, was deep, to a height - of from 4 to 10.: feCt.-Lo­ cally it has been estimated that the cost of opening this road might run to $125.00. Word of the plow’s arrival criused considerable interest in the /village and many walked out as far j as the • second corner to meet it, and) watch it operate. As ft neared the village. 1 the roadway was lined for some dis­ tance with ^spectators.
