CANADIAN ADVERTISING ADVISORY BOARD - •0:1Wq•911'.411' PAGE SIXTEEN THE LUCKNOW SENTINEL, LUCKNOW, ONTARIO WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1977 • THAT Lloyd Moffat of Lucknow, while removing snow from their house, on January 14, fell from the carport onto the driveway. He suffered broken ribs and bruises in the fall and was hospitalized in Wingham until the following Tuesday. THAT Lucknow Fire Department an- swered a call to the farm of Laverne Martin, 1 mile west of Dungannon, on Saturday evening aboit 8 p.m. Both tracks made the trip to Dungannon with relatively few weather problems; but the fire was out by the time they arrived. Rural Mail Driver Having Rough Winter Talking to one of the local rural mail drivers last week, he pointed out to us the problems in servicing rural box holders in weather such as we have been experiencing in past weeks. With high winds, blowing up drifts continually, and snow plows winging back the snow accumula- tions, it is sometimes difficult .for the mail driver to find a mail box, let alone service it. It bears repeating that it is the duty and obligation of a rural post office patron to keep his or her mailbox clear of snow so it can be serviced. The rural mail driver is not required• to "dig you out", although we know that many times they do go beyond the require- ments of their job to help out. But, as with everything, there are limitations.
