Councillor Bushell Favors .
Swimming Fool Action
Advances Suggestion That Matter
Be Given Consideration—Purposes
When Councillor Bushell last week
suggested at the August council
meeting that consideration be given,
the matter of providing a swimming
pool in ^the village, he brought up an
important civicj subject that to date .
seems to have failed to receive the
consideration it deserves.
IMr. Bushell’s suggfestibn at this .
meeting did not occasion any discus
sion of the matter, other than to be
recognized as a worthwhile project,
and the matter passed over.
Mr.. Bushell’s proposed swimming
pool is not a new idea, but now that
it has again' been brought up it'
would be encouraging to see enough
citizen^ show "sufficient interest in it
to lead to a public meeting being ’
called to discuss the pros and cons
of the matter, which is one. the Boos
ter Club might well take up. ’
Mr. Bushell had no information
to offer in this regard, but favoring
such an undertaking, advances the ■
suggestion, hoping , to learn whether
or not it will receive any support
Such a pool it .was considered could ,■
be built near the pump house, where
overflow water from the village well
could be used.
Lucknow sorely lacks a sanitary
place for bathing and if the cost of
building a pool is not prohibitive, it
is a civic improvement that should
be completed before > another sum
mer season rolls around. In the
writer’s opinion, < this . comnsunity
owes it to its young people to at
least give them a decent place to
swim. . ’ 0
A recent night trip through Fer
gus . revealed illuminated tennis
courts in full swing and a goodly
number °enjoying themselves in their
magnificent pool. With a theatre as •
well, the young people of that town
do not lack for a way to spend a
recreational and entertaining even
ing. i
While we'don’t for a moment sug
gest that Lucknow- could ever hope
to have a pook like Fergus, built at
a cost of many thousand dollars,
thanks chiefly to Beatty Bros, we un*
derstand, yet surely this village clan
afford to provide some diversion for
its young people, who if they want
an evening’s entertainment, are al- .
most forced to seek 'it out of town.

J. B. Mathers Prominent In
Financial Corporations
Had, Fruit Ranch In California-nWas
Brother Of ..Local Resident And
Also. Of The Late Chief justice
Mathers Of Manitoba.
The first break in a happy family
circle occurred early Tuesday morn
ing, when death claimed Mrs. Alex
ander MacDiarmid, and in her pass-
ing removed from this home a kind
and loving wife and mother, Who
was of a happy nature and whose
first consideration was always for
her family.
Mrs. MacDiarmid’s illness dates'
back about a year, and for the past
month her condition, was known to
be grave. Arthritis and other com
plications had caused much suffer^
4ng which .. Mps. MacDiarihid bore
with great patience/ always hopeful
and cheerful that she would shortly
regain her health. Ten days ago she
lapsed into a semi-conscious condi
tion when little1 hope was entertained
for her recovery.
‘ Mrs. MacDiarniid was born at
Lochalsh sixty-six years ago. For-*
meriy Mary MacKenzie, she was one
of a family of nine children born to
the late Mr. and Mrs. Alexander.
MacKenzie. Her mother passed away
three years ago at an advanced age.
Following her marriage „to Mr.
MacDiarmid, they fanned at Para
mount on the homestead now owned
by their son Grant. Fifteen years
ago they moved to LucknoW,' where
Mr. MacDiarmid is this year, serv
ing on the Village Council.
In Lucknow, as. in the Paramouht
and Ashfield communities, Mrs. Mc-
Diarmid, by- her neighborliness and
manner, "was quick to form a - ien We«s u<uuB»v omu .oval

While wheat crops are yielding

the oat crop ‘is so poor that some
farmers question the wisdom of
going to the expense of threshing
it. In many cases .the lower part of
the oat stalks remain green, while
the upper part of the grain has pre
maturely' ripened before filling out.
Vegetable crops and gardens have
suffered severely and as a result
canned good is mounting in price.
So is flour and certain of its ph^

DR. SOLANDTS DEATH
RECALLS TIME HE'SPOKE HERE
In tfie passing of Rev. Donald M.
Solandt in Toronto, last Thursday,
many here will recall the time he
addressed a Ltacknow audience in
the spring of 1934. Dr. Solandt pre
vious to that time had been a dele
gate to Geneva in the interests of
peace and while in Europe visited
and Studied conditions in Denmark
which he found most pleasing.
It (was. on this theme that he ad-
dressed^350 men in the Town Hall
here late in April two years ago, tak-
ing as his, subject “Literature and
Life” which he illustrated with lan
tern slides.
Dr. Solandt, who was 65 years , of
age, was book steward for United
Chinch publications since 1932. The
funeral service was conducted on
.Saturday by the Very Rev, Dr.
George E. Pidgeon.
Mr. James . Bolivar Mathers re
cently died at Oceanside, California,
where lhe had a fruit ranch. Mrs.
Mathers was on her way to Ocean
side from Vancouver, where the fam
ily had made its home for a quarter
of a century but Mr. Mathers had
passed on before her arrival. The
body was taken- back to Vancouver
where the funeral took place Satur
day, August 1st.
Mr. Mathers hailed originally
from* the ’family farm pear Liicknow
and after engaging in saw milling
on the prairies where he laid the
foundation of his wealth, he went to
Vancouver ’ where he became inter
ested in many undertakings, being
one of the early directors . of the
Dominion Trust‘ Co., Ltd. After its
collapse he devoted his time to The
Trustee Company Ltd. (now the Mer
cantile Mortgage Co., Ltd.) and Be
came its president. Some ten or
twelve years ago, he sold out his in
terest' to another Lucknow man, Pro
fessor Edward Odium, whose death
was chronicled, in. the Sentinel last
year; After that he spent much time
in California returning periodically
/o Vancouver, where he still had
considerable interests and where his
married daughters , and' his. son
Homer had their homes.
Mr. Mathers was a brother of the
late Chief Justice Mathers of Mani
toba. One brother Henry is still -at
home in Lucknow.
