One little “pussy” that de­ cided to. hole up in a basemeht Window in the Breckles building met this fate. A car was run into the alley way between Brfeck- lesa and the Anderson apartment and an attachment to the exhaust pipe soon fixed the animal. When the operation was get­ ting underway a lady who was passing by was given a warning shout, but went haughtily on her way,, apparently thinking it iwas a “Wolf” rather than a skunk that was in the alleyway.

Here’s what was said] , The Sentinel is delighted, Mr, -Jewell," to /have, this opportunity . to extend greetings to your radio audience from The Sepoy Town of Lucknow, situated, as ;it is:, on the boundary line between those , two banner . counties of Bruce and Huron. : Lucknow,- incidentally, is incor­ porated in Bruce County although a . goodly portion of the Village ’ lies on thp. Hurpri side of the” road. Years ago, these two coun-“ ties fought to possess Lucknow; •to say nothing of' the two factions , within the Village. That, is. a tale in itself! ' . The naming) of Lucknow is an­ other story, which dates back to the Indian Mutiny of 1857. ° The first White man to settle here was eEli Stauffer, a mill­ wright. That was back in 1850— 103 years ago. The settlement was first 5 called Balaclava, hbut was officially named Lucknow a few years later, following, the relief of the beseiged city of Lucknow;, Indifiv The streets of btir Village are named after British generals who put down that Mutiny, such as Campbell, Havelock; Outram, .etc...../ .... . ' Native Indians troops; known as the Sepoys, fought with the Imperial forces in that uprising, and hence the title. “The Sepoy Town”, with ball and: hockey teams, even to this day, retaining the distirictive name, “The Se­ poys”./ > .
