de - for Lucknowites
The morat8a of December in most Frost offices provides a scene of
Onsanity as the volume of mail increases considerably. in addition to
the heavier work Bond, Canada post workers take on any additional,
but very -y, weary IIImportant tusk each Christmas.
This week we send a bouquet of flowers to all Canada Post
Workers who assist Santa at his busiest time of the year. Over
50000 Canadian postai workers helped Santa answer 500,000 letters
from ail across Canada, and some from around the world. These are
answered on the workers own time - breaks, lunch or at home. For
gears they have taken it upon themselves to answer the hu-
moungous amount of mail the jolly ole boy receives. Seven years
ago, Canada Post offered its help by donating the stationery and
postage.
Locally the P.O. elves answered 123 letters. Christmas is for kids
5' and these people help make it more exciting for area children when
they receive a reply back from Santa.
The l,ucknow Christmas and Benevolent Fund was once again suc-
cessful, with area residents donating money, food and gifts for those
a little less fortunate. Once again Lucknow and area residents have
shown they are generous bunch!
The volume of snow failing Christmas DaV and Boxing Day made
Ot necessary for road crews to spend a good number of holiday hours
on the roads, making sure others could travel safely. Hats off to
these people, who just like you and i, would have enjoyed having
this time to spend with their families during the festive season.

Weekend Stoma Disrupts Holiday - The
New Year holiday activities were severe-
ly curtailed, by a weekend storm that
completely blocked the majority of
district roads. Main roads were scarcely
more than passable with frequent difficul-
ty encountered by many motorists who
tackled travelling them.
New Year visitors in many cases were
stranded, so far as ..motoring was con-
cerned, and had to resort to the old
faithful iron horse to return to their
various occupations. While in nuaaaeroun
other cases the early set in of the storm
prevented the planned family Herrings.
County and provincial � have
been busy since the storm abated and all
fur main roads into Lucknow are open to
traffic, although on Wednesday morning
they were reported as heavy due to an
overnight filling in.
