MAY 14TH, 193& Our attention has been drawn to the fact ..that the white trillium is the emblem of Ontario arid a» such should be given special protection. No doubt, damage has been done to the plant this sea'son, and it is im- portantthat care.Jnthe future should be taken to’ prevent our wild plant life from diminishing. The trillium grows from a^. bulb, and it is ap^easy matter to pull the bulb from the soft bush earth, > as one plucks the bloom. Displacement pf the bulb kills the plant. We believe this information is time ly, and pass it on so that 'it may en lighten some who may be unaware of the permanent injury that done this wild flower. I • > ■ ’ I * .

HEAT AND HUMIDITY MAKE SUMMER LIKE ATMOSPHERE Heat and humidity combined the latter part of the week to create a summer like he'at wave that had' the community fanning itself.. Starting in on Thursday, the mer cury officially soared to 8.35 degrees, -dropped back half a degree on Fri- • day,p climbed to 84.2 on Saturday, and climaxed its ascent on Sunday with a: temperature of 86.2. Rain brought moderation that evening. The warmth resulted in nature undergoing a remarkable change of. dress, as trees broke into leaf ’ ancl vegetation jumped ahead. Seeding was in full swing when the, heat wave struck and which had a telling affect on man and beast. Reports had it that more than one horse in the community had died from the heat, but we have been unable to confirm these reports, While the week-end -was-a_hot. one^ it does not create an early May re cord.- In May of 1895, a ten-day hot wave reached an official high of 91.2. degrees. (We make reference to this exceptional monthjn another article) - In May, 18, .1889, another high tem perature record was reached when the mercury touched "92 degrees. Sales tax has reached an all time . high. The unfortunate part of this ’ levy is that it discourages^ buying Just at the time when purchasing power is picking u^.

That which the reporter chases and that wich may seek to get in the paper for nothing which .should'' really be paid for at advertising rates. April 20th, 1936, Vancouver, B.C. To the Lucknow Sentinel: Dear Editor,— For weeks I have been looking forward to the annual supper, con cert and dance ofthe Bruce Old. Boy s’ and Girls’ Association in the White Rose Ballroom here. It was to take place, Monday, the 20th - instant. But alas and alack, I had to spend the riight in bed as Weir as " severaT days and nights before and since.. And so, perforce, I had to forego the anticipated-pleasure, I know “ a good time was had pY all” as the saying is. arid I fully expect the “Sentinel" will get the story from young Mac Dougall who wields the pen of a ready writer". Lying-here (I am writing in bed) I cannot help but let my mind, run back in reminiscences of somewhat similar occasions when I was a boy. It is a long.,.cry from Burrard Inlet on. the Pacific, well on in the twen tieth century, to LucknOw on the Nine Mile River, rather late in the nineteenth, but the. transportation takes place in^u flash and I find my self in a rooW*with a single small eastern window facing the hill on Wheeler street that led to the school. The first time I was confined to that room, I lay on a bed that was unlike anything j have, ever seen before, or since, and my experience of beds has ’ included cots, hammocks, stretchers, decks, shell-holes, bunks, dugouts funk holes, haylofts, tile floors, furn ace tops, woodpiles, tents, shelves, stable floors, table tops, benches, a straw mattress packed' so tight that I had to keep one foot on the floor on each side to keep from Volling off it. —a life boat, train upper berths, train seats, chicken house straw along with chickens—and the green grass under the skies. The bed I refer to was man-sized as far as length and width was con cerned, but its height over all was not more than a foot, so that it fitt ed, close to the wall under the slope of the i roof. I do not know what sick-' ness I' had but I can -distinctly re member the peculiar*1 sensations. When I placed my hand where 1 could see it, I was half frightened to find it ever so far away and ever so big. I suppose this was due to the delirium of the sickness.' I often think of it. My grandmother’s good nursing brought me around in due coufse with the help of good old Dr4 J. S. Tennant-, whom many Lucknow-j ites will remember.. < During other sickness, I lay jn a. higher bed where I could look out the window and watch the children going to school. I do not remember wheth er, I felt lucky or not,, but , do not think so. About the: only thing I could see, apart from the shade trees, was a stable, the doors of which opened right on Wheeler street on the north side. I could see the horses go in and out. and would like to be driving them.. The property was a good sized one. an orchard intervening between the stable and . the house; then occu pied- by Mrs. Ross whose son Free- man.died not dong afterwards at Mr. Millar’s, one of the first of my school mates.- to be taken by the hand of death. Later, the' property was occu pied by a doctor. As, the afternoon wore on I could see and hear the scholars coming from school. It wasn’t so easy to .watch them coming from school as it was to see them going to it, for I knew they Were free to play, and I. wanted to be with them. Before very, long some boy3 would climb the hill with a pair of oars and I knew they were going to have some fun amdngst the stumps on TreleaveU’s pond. Then there would be boys going by with fishing Doles, or coming, back With fish on little crotches. Seeing: this was. hard enough to bear, but to See little groups with tin pails hiking to the berry patches Jn the surround! ing woods was the hardest of all, for I had been on such excursions and knew what. I was missing. Oh, those berry picking expeditions, when car- rying lunch pails and cups, we clam bered fences, crossed streams and struck through woods to some patch we knew of or stumbled upon. Such berries! I wish I could get the pleas ure out. of picking the berries in my garden I got as a boy gathering those from the wild canes, that tore my hands and clothes and required miles of tramping to find them. I suppose we i ata as many as we put in the pail. EJven though the pftil was heaped up when we started home, we invariably arrived there with quite a bit of the inside showing above the berries. Of course we, explained \to our fdlk thrit the berries had ‘settled down a bit. No reasonable person would expect a boy to carry a pail of berries for miigs on a hot day and not .try one now and again; Lying. th'ere, I naturally built up castles in the air, visions of the things I would do in the years to. come. I do hot know what they were, except that they included some'ad ventures in the frozen north. But 1 did not fnrsee^the Great War jp. which so many from iruefti; took part, not did I forsee the Great Deprftft* f ’ • - . • • ' ty • ’ New Curtains and Curtain.
