Dear Sir:
We wonder, as Town Councillor,
•if you could' help us with some
family data and up-to-date informa-
tion abou. • ..r town - Lucknow,
Ontario.
We have a grandniece who lives
in Michigan, U.S.A. 'and she is
doing ' her. "Family Tree" as an
English project. §he is in need of
kali kinds of information which she
thinks wemight have on hand, but
we don't have it at all!
For .,instance, her great grand-
mother was Mary MacKenzie, born
in 1871 and died in '1949 (in
Toronto). Her father, We believe,
was born in Scotland, came out to
Canada and lived in Eastern
Canada, married a Miss Nicholson,
and when .Mary was born lived on
the land outside Lucknow, Ontario.
Mary MacKenzie married a Wm.
Littlefair of Blyth, Ontario. We ,
think they moved to Toronto
around 1906.
After checking with our library,
the Chamber of Commerce and .the
Board of Trade here in Toronto,
none of which could help us, we are
wondering, if yOu have any printed
material, about yotir town- of
Lucknow or could give its a brief
history of Lucknow, without too
much trouble. .
This yoting lady's grandfather,
Dr. D.T. Littlefair, a minister in
Grand . Rapids, Michigan and my
hulband, her grand uncle, are two
of Mary MacKenzie Littlefair's
seven sons. '
A. As senior citizens we would like
fn encourage this, young woman in
her English project and show our
interest in her wanting to record
her. heritage! •
We know this is .an unusual
request ? 'but trust you will be able
to enlighten us in some way about -
"Lucknow" Without • too much
inconvenience.
Sincerely,
Ted and Alison Littlefair.

REPORT :FROM,
QUEEN'S PARK
BY MURRAY GAUNT
HURON-BRUCE
Discussion still continues about
hospital closings in the ,Province,
and.the acting Minister of Health
has indicated that four of the nine
Ontario hospitals given orders to
close will remain -open for an
indefinite period while the Health
Ministry studies other possible
uses for the institutions and other
ways to cut costs. The four -
Doctors Hospital in Toronto and
public hospitals in Clinton, Durham
and Paris ; have appealed the
orders to close. There is,
apparently, no chance . that the
remaining hospitals scheduled to
close will be, reprieved, and the
Minister told the Legislature that
the Government has not altered
any decisions but is simply keeping
an open mind while studying briefs'
which have been presented. Even
if some of the hospitals being
closed ,are put to other uses, the
Government still hopes to save
close to $45 million.
The acting Minister of Health
also told the Legislature that the
entire population of Ontario will be
inoculated against swine flu if the
Provincial Government can obtain
enough vaccine. If sufficient
vaccine is .not available, those at
highest risk will be vaccinated.
The Minister said the province
hopes to use he'alth units thrOugh-
out .Ontario to carry out the
vaccination program to eliminate
any charge for the 'procedure;
although no, decision has' yet been
made about whether there will be a
charge for the vaccine itself. -

.MP'PS will be. "seriously irrespon-
sible and derelict in our duty" if
they permit this kind of advertising•
to continue either on radio or

He said "there's no reason for us to
permit this kind of insidious
pressure on young people, particu-
larly (when it) simply identifies the
use of, beer - much more than
anything else - with the good' life".

smoking campaign.

100 cents on the dollar as opposed
to the 15 cents being offered by the
De Jonge Group.
