TO THE EDITOR Ashfield adopts road budget
To the Editor:
Herewith, once more, a late subscription
renewal, for which I apologize. This time
the hospitalization of my younger. brother,
Alex; for several weeks with cancer has
disrupted my usual routine.
• Sinceorganizing, several years ago, a
New Horizons group, to help save the
Fastern bluebird, an endangered species, I
have'- corresponded with several in the
,Lucknow area who have had varying
success. Foci those who may be interested
in my annual report last fall, bluebirds'laid
over 25Q eggs in the boxes on my Bluebird.
Trail.
It is difficult to know just how many
young survived to fly away, but allowing
for predation and other damage to eggs
and adults, I expect that 150 to 175 are now
down south or on their way back here. This
has-been about average for several years,
and as a result a major spinoff of surplus
birds seeking `nesting sites each spring has
occurred for many miles in Ontario and
across the Ottawa River into Quebec.
I .. 'amfortunate in having an ideal
bluebird. environment here - scattered
small wooded areas and plenty of pasture
and hay fields, real "horse" country,
mainly riding horses.
I was sorry' to hear that Harvey
MacDougall's project petered out after a
rather promising start. I feel sure that the
cause was the gradual change from
"mixed" farming to cash crop tanning -
corn, beans, etc., quite an unsuitable
environment for bluebirds.
After an absence of about 60 years, I still
find the Sentinel interesting. Keep up the
good work.
Sincerely,
C. Graham MacKay,
269 Kirchoffer Ave.,
Ottawa, Ont.

The historical committee of the Lucknow
United Church areprogressing with their
history but a few links are still Missing. We
need the Sentinel reports of the laying .of
the cornerstone of Lucknow Methodist
Church (June 25, 1885) and the dedication
of the building (December 5, 1985).
If anyone has their grandmother's scrap
book perhaps it might be there. The files of
the Sentinel are missing for. these
particular issues.
