Robb on the 7th concession of West Wawanosh and was noticed by their collie dog. The moose charged the dog, but the dog fighting in self defence proved to be the winner and drove the animal back into the bush. The Lucknow Women's Institute sponsored an amateur contest with forty-eight contestants taking Tart. The Town Hall failed to accomo- date the overflow crowd with over 100 turned away. The event exceeded all expectations. The prizes were donated by local business men. Dr. W. V. Johnston was chairman for the three hour program. 60 YEARS AGO MARCH 1917 Tenders were being called for the drawing of milk and whey on • the various routes of the Para- mount Cheese Factory.

Garfield Ostrander bought the Royal Hotel property, opposite his Lucknow Blacksmith shop, and opened the stabling to the public. This met a greatly felt want in the village since the closing of the McGarry House and barn. Mr. Ostrander's plan was "to rent stable room by the year to those who want to be sure of accommoda- tion when they drive to town". The property was owned by Todd Bros. of St. Helens. LETTER TO THE EDITOR Deputy Chief Replies To Criticism 01 fire Fighting April 11, 1977 The Editor, Lucknow Sentinel. Dear Don: Writing in regards to a certain fire in Ashfield Township Saturday afternoon, we wish to state that first of a, we-are- not Si 2,000-.00- a year men, we are only volunteer firemen serving the district and we try our best if mechanical failure develops. I don't think we are entitled to take the blame. We were trying our best to get things going and didn't need somebody standing there telling us we are not going to get paid, that we are this and we are that. If we go to a fire and get it out, we are heroes, but when we lose a building or property, we are often subject to unfair criticism. Most of the time it is easier to stand back and see the faults and criticize, even at the same time hydro is still connected to the burning building and you are working under danger. You don't know yourself when you are going to have a fire, and be glad to see us risk our lives to get to you as fast as we can. Think about it before you start to knock any fireman. He is only trying his best. We are only volunteer men leaving our work to help the best we can. Lucknow Fire Department, Deputy Chief, Bud Hamilton. LETTER TO THE EDITOR Speak Against Abortion Freedom Lucknow Sentinel: Dear Sir: The Lucknow United Church Women shared a truly inspiring drama with many fellow Christians last week. Called "Lo I am with you alway", these ladies transport. ed us back into biblical times with their portrayal of the women in the life of Jesus before his crucifixion, through that terrible Good Friday to the first triumphant Easter! We wish to congratulate all who. participated and thank you for inviting us. Thinking further on the Crucifi- xion, we ponder what Christ's feelings are on abortion, innocent lives taken in several equally horrible ways. As Christians,, we would never think of murdering anyone, yet how many of us are doing anything about this growing menace to our society? We banished capital punishment so that "we might set an example to other nations of our respect for human life". The law states that therapeutic abortions may be performed if the pregnancy would be likely to endanger the life or health of the mother-to-be. But - less than 1% of the abortions in Canada are being performed for medical reasons as stipulated by the law! Since the abortion law was amended in 1969 over 220,000 Canadian babies have been merci- lessly eliminated, never to have the opportunity to .laugh and love, to grow and give life to others which is their God-given right. In all of World War- Tf, 40-, Canadians gave their' lives in foreign countries, to protect ours and give us peace. At the present time we have a Dutchman, Adrian Keet, walking to Ottawa to focus attention on the Festival for Life to be held there May 5, 6 and 7th. This man had been a prisoner of war during the Nazi regime and a proud, active Canadian since the, early 1950's. Do we, as Canadians realize what a wonderful God-given coun- try we live in, the freedom of choice that we take for granted? In our democracy the laws are made by us, for us. > If we remain silent on this issue, we can no longer claim to have respect for life nor offer ourselves as an example to other nations. The eyes of the world are upon us, awaiting our decision. If former generatiqns had allowed abortions as freely, how many of us would now be here? Think on that. Christians unite to save lives and create happinesS for the unborn, the handicapped and the aged. Remember, God is not mocked. Respectfully submitted, St. Mary's Catholic Women's League of Lucknow. Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth L. MacKenzie of Ashfield have re- turned from a 10-week holiday at Orlando, Florida. Kenny's brother, Mr. and Mrs. Bill MacKenzie of Dundas, visited with .them while in Florida.

Easter holiday guests with relatives at the homes of their mothers, Mrs. Walter . Woods, Wingham and Mrs. Robert Moffat, Lucknow, were Mr. and Mrs. Wayne (Joyce) Woods and Shelley of Pembroke.

Advertising helps good things happen. CANADIAN ADVERTISING ADVISORY BOARD 20 YEARS AGO . MARCH 1957 Lucknow merchants continued to observe the long established cus- tom of being a Saturday night town. This was decided at the March meeting by twenty members of the Business Men's Association. The decision was to remain open -until eleven o'clock on Saturday nights for the summer months and revert to nine o'clock closing in the fall, a practise which had previous- ly been carried out satisfactorily. The meeting was presided over by president M. L. Sanderson with Lloyd Hall as secretary. At the annual meeting of the Huron and Kinloss Municipal Telephone System approval was given to a resolution passed by the Commissioners three months• prev- iously to purchase the Goderich Rural Telephone Company Limited with headquarters at Dungannon. The System serviced some 600 subscribers. The final decision for the purchase was to be voted on by the shareholders. 40 YEARS AGO MARCH 1937 Eldn Johnston sold his Lucknow barber business to Jack C. Camp- bell of Hillsburg, effective March 29th. Eldon had opened this business nine years previously.
