to 13 and then to 18. By late last
year, county council indicated there
would be no large-scale amalgama-
tions unless they were proposed by
the local municipalities.
Tranter 'said Ripley was against
joining a multi-municipality unit.
The county's restructuring com-
mittee has been unable to find any
other councils interested in merg-
ing.
"So far, we're the only ones who
have made any move in that
direction," Tranter said.
Once the councils have all the
facts from their lawyers, they will
hold public meetings to find out
how the residents feel, but a
plebiscite probably won't be need-
ed, he said.
"We want to get the public
reaction and the only way to see it
is to start to move in that
direction."
Tranter said he hoped one
product of the amalgamation , will
be more interest in local politics.
Lately there has been little
attention given to government in
the area, he said.
In fact, he was drafted to be
Reeve after retiring last year
because no one else would run.
Nominations were held three
times, but until Tranter volunteer-
ed to return, the village was
without a Reeve.

program.
At present, there is indications of
an intermediate team, a slow pitch
and a girls' team this season.
There are many boys in Lucknow
and area who could play ball.
Without player development, es-
pecially in regards to pitchers, it is
difficult to field competitive teams
in the W.O.A.A. So the Recreation
Committee feel it is essential 'to
start early, and through training,
they will again be able to field ball
teams as competitive as before. It
has been proposed that ball be
revived by starting with a number
of house league teams, developing
from the ground up. The main
concern would be the promotion of
minor ball in as extensive a fashion
as pOssible.
If Lucknow and area does not
develop ball players in the minor
teams, and find some willing
individuals to coach and manage, it
could be that a renovated ball park
and its facilities will sit idle.
Show your concern by attending
a meeting at the Lucknow Town
Hall on Thursday, May 12th at 8
p.m.
were moving the structure to the
society's grounds to be used as an
exhibition building for the annual
fall fair. The building measured 30
feet by 86 feet.
Meat rationing came to an end
although meatless days on Tues-

effect in public eating places.
