ADDITIONAL 25<e CHARGE FOR
ADS “APPLY AT SENTINEL”
An additional charge of 25c. will
hereafter be in effect on all class-
ified advertisements reading “ap

The reasons are that: such ad
vertisements are not convenient
‘.for those who wish to reply, and?
. that when they do apply, all the.,
information we can give is the
person’s riame and address. To
have the details of all these advts
and attempt .to convey them to
all those who enquire would take
valuable time far (beyond. the
worth of the little“waflt advt.”;

extermination has been ’ asphyxia
tion. One little “pussy” that de

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.

as the coup de grace to polish off
the so-called dead skunk—-but it
wasn’t that dead.

Startling, ‘ to. say the least.

SEPOY TOWN GETS
CFPL PUBLICITY
Lucknow got some publicity on
Sunday mobning on Rdy jeweH’s'
“Town and Country”, (broadcast ,
over CFPL,~ London7 Mr.--Jewell,'
director of farm services for this'
station, visitPd! Lucknow last'.
Thursday afternoon when a re^/
cording was made of: the three-

Publisher; ..
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”./ > . " • . .’■
