After reading the result of the Lucknow Lions meeting to spear- head a drive for a 'new community centre, I wasn't surprised at 90% in favour because in the advertise- ment about the open meeting regarding the above, it said all interested. citizens, organizations, service clubs are invited to attend. I was at the meeting and some- times I don't hear too good, but I never heard anyone speak for the following which I consider organiz- ations: The Lucknow Legion; Ladies' Institute; Horticultural Soc- iety; and finally the Senior Citiz- ens, but maybe they just got 24 hours notice, which the general public got, so I would like to know if they were informed before hand as the Kinsmen seemed to have advance notice as their spokesman gave their approval for the project. Maybe the Lions could inform me of the picnic grounds they were, spear heading, as it seems to have died out. As for the community centre, it is debateable if the council' can give the Lions the ground for the project as it is town property, but maybe when the sewerage has to go in, the people of Lucknow will have no say as usual, but just pay more taxes, as usual.

The congregation joined the New Connection Methodist Church in 1865, and in 1885 the Methodists built what is now Lucknow United Church. At that time, Adam Thompson, local blacksmith and carriage maker, bought the building and moved it to its present location. Mr. Thompson expanded his carriage making and blacksmith business to include a livery business. He had been in business before that time just to the west of the warehouse site. This historical information was received from Helen Thompson of Lucknow and while basically cor- rect, could be open to some adjustment where memory fails. according to Helen. Adam Thompson, Helen's grandfather, was one of six brothers who came to the Dungan- non area from Ireland. The family trade, for all, was carriage making and blacksmithing. Adam came to Lucknow in 1880 to practice his trade. Adam died in April, 1898 and his son Robert, then 18, Helen's father, carried on the livery business for a few years until selling to John Blake, father-in-law of Mrs. Cecil Blake of Dungannon and Wm. McConnell, father of Beth McConnell of Dungannon. The Douglas Brothers, William and Robert, took over the livery business in the early 1900's when Mr. Blake went west.
