Gossiping g- a major
Living in: a small community
ity
suet --as we do has maany:.g
points. about it. Massy tslmes 1 have
• filled this space with the good
points. •. '
While 'the good out weigh the
• bad, this week, I'll take a look at.
the onemajor downfall of living in
a small community such at we do,
and -that is. the fact that everyone:
knows, or thinks they know, your
business and the ,majority do not
hesitate in ' repeating what they
think they know. This past time is
more ,coinmonly known as gossip-
ing, A .gossip :is described asso-
meone who chatters or repeats idle
talk and timers, especially about
the private affairs of others.
Of• course we.learn what is going
on in our conanw pity by discussing
events that take place. There ;is no
harm in such exchanges, The harm
comes in, when pee le take
something they've or seen.

A wise purchase
The members of the area fire board and the four. sur-
rounding munidpal teas are to be commended for• reaching
the decision to purchase 20 bunker sus#* for the Lucknow
and District firs Department. .
White It is no doubt always uppermost in ,the minds of
the area councils to stave mosey for thoie. Wepayen', there
cores a time' when sieving dollars must be tossed aside.
, This substantial ,purchase was just such a time. The pur-
chase was made out of the approved ,1990 fire board
budget of $34.330. •
Many of the old firocoots were reported to be . besiically
"worn out" and no doubt providing loss than optimum pro-
tection for these firefighters. •
Regulations- for fire fighters' protective clothing aro
changing and as of June 1 turn out clothing purchased for
firefightrs involved in interior structural duties must be
certified to meet or • exceed the requirements of CAN/CGSF
155.1 -MOB. As of January 1, • 1943,, all protective turn. out
clothing provided to such persons MUST meet or exceed the
requirements of the aforementioned regulation..
The approximate 114.000 expenditure may seem like a
great deal of, money; but no value can- be put . on a lost
life or an injured firefighter. To buy less than 20 would
mean that those who. reach the fire hall first got the
superior protective clothing, or perhaps the fire chief. could
decide who wore the new outfits, - the oldest, the
youngest, those with most years service. Hardly a fair way
of deciding who should be more protected.
These members of our community who protect us and our
property are basically volunteers In my opinion. Sure they
receive a small sum for each call, but it isn't a pay check
they can live on.
If you have ever had a fire and seen how these
firefighters respond, you will have to agree - they deserve
the best in protective clothing)
The unidentified picture last week was of the Memorial Cairn located on
highway 21 across from the north road into Port Albert. The inscription reads:
"No. 31 School of Air Navigation, Port Albert, Royal Mr Force." Across No.
21 highway east of this Memorial Cairn lies 402.8 acres of area farmland which
was made into an airfield and used as a navigation school to train navigators
to become crew members of bomber squadrons to fight against the Nazi oc-
cupation of Europe during the Second World War, as part of the British Com-
monwealth Mr Training Plan, from October the 25th, 1940 to February the 17th,
1945. Dedicated by R.A.F. and R.C.A.F. Veterans, local area volunteers.
Erected 1988.

Church News - There was a very
large congregation in the Lucknow
Presbyterian Church last Sunday
morning to hear a former pastor,
The Rev. Angus McKay, now of
Kingusie, Scotland. Mr. McKay ac-
companied by his daughter, Miss
Grace, is on a trip across Canada,
and he was pleased to call at
Lucknow where he spent 16 years
as minister. He is now a minister
of the Free Church of Scotland,
which still objects to the use of the
organ in church, and tout of
deference to;' Mr. McKay's views
the organ was not used at the ser-
vice Sunday morning. Mr: McKay
is a man of deep religious feeling
and great earnestness, and it is not
difficult to realize how so many
with whom he differed on some
matters still have great respect for
him. He occupied the pulpit of
South Kinloss ,;• Church in the
evening.

"details" to make. a better !ray

Xoung Johnnie Smith is seen pull-

a police officer. Before he can get

has Johnnie drinking and driving,
out running the police, assualting
an officer and being taken off in
handcuffs to the stone building.
• Mrs. Smith is seen in a nearby
town with thehusband of her best
Mend and low and behold, within
the day it is all over town - they
are having an affair. If the gossip
monger had taken :.a little longer
drinking the coffee, it would have.
been evident that the respective
spouses were simply visiting the
washrooms, However the deed is
done. The gossiphas been started
and the story becomes ' more in -
downfafl
teresting by the nett person adding
their two bits on, ley the end of;the
week the • eonnnunity' has the.
Smiths divorced. and the couples
have changed partners all . f onrt
simply having a cup of coffee• in a
restaurant! •
These are a couple of examples
of how gthasiphig gets peOple
trouble. Repeating derogatory
stories about anotherpersoncan
lead to giving that, person a bed
reputation, and why, just because
someone felt they bad a, juicy bit ,of
information and simply had tto pass
it on? .
_ Living in a small community we
will always have to put up with it,
but the next time someone walks
up and says, "Did you hear about
so-and-so," why not be more com-
onate and give that person be
benefit of the doubt. It all too easy
to see the bad in a person, why not
try looking for the good?

are being loaded at Wingham, Kim
cardine, and Ripley as well as
Lucknow. the first train is schedul-

u as made to the Prairies suffering
drought and dust storm conditions.
