A new terrn
Reeve Joynt has been elected
to yet another term as reeve of
Lucknow. Congratulations
George. Your experience in
municipal affairs is a definite
advantage to the village.
Congratulations also to Bud
Hamilton who has served 10
years on village council giving
his time to serve the community.
He has served well and his.
contribution to municipal affairs
was considerable. A • conscien-
tious councillor, he worked hard
to do well for the village and his
experience on council.' was an
asset to the council as a whole. It
is only fitting, that his retire-
ment from council at this time,
should come about after running
for the position of reeve. He. is
going to be missed.
It's now time to get on with
the business of the village. It's
our hope the newly acclaimed
council will work well together
and will work with the reeve to
conduct the business of the
village in a responsible manner,
with the interests of the people
they represent, " as their focus.
LOOKING BACK
75 YEARS AGO
Good, sleighing.
The first of the season.
It looks a little like winter.
Wednesday saw the first of the real thing.
In less than six weeks we'll be toying with
the things we have found in .our stocking.
If Edison's exertions are realized, we
shall soon see a revolution in power light-
ing and heating supply. He says that his
apparatus will enable any family, at the
cost of a few cents a day, to produce
electricity for power, tight or heat. It is to
bring the advantages of electricity within
reach of rich and poor.
James Todd, 23, son of Thomas Todd of
St. Helens, was found dead in bed on
Wednesday morning. He had only return-
ed about a week ago from Manitoba, where
he had spent a few months and appeared to
be in the best of health. He retired for bed
as usual and nothing was known of his
death until Wednesday morning.
"Don't cough in church" is a tablet for
the throat, a convenient remedy to carry in
the pocket when required.
50 YEARS AGO
HE SENTINEL
Pitching horseshoes, once despised as a
game fit only for idle farm boys and later
humorously dubbed "barnyard golf", is
making a strong bid for a high place among
the sports of the day. Clubs to promote and
gnjoy the game are being organized and it
is said there will be one right here in
Lucknow, in readiness for next summer.
The messenger of death paid a very
unlooked for visit to the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Allan Kaake, Durham Road, near
Kinloss Village, early Tuesday morning,
when their little daughter, Muriel Irene,
was called away. The little girl, who was
almost 2'/2 years of age, was well and
playing about as usual Monday morning,
but was taken violently ill early afternoon.
Medical attention was summoned, but the
little patient grew worse and passed away
Tuesday morning.
The Joint Concert Recital at the Town
Hall on Friday was a delight, judging by
the applause and other evidence of
appreciation, shown by the audience. The
recital was given by 'Mildred Treleaven,
mezzo soprano, and Walter B. Craw,
elocutionist, assisted by Barrie Davey.
The community about Paramount and
Lochalsh were greatly saddened when it
became known that Alvin McDonald; only
son of James McDonald, concession 13,
had passed away, on Saturday evening. He
had been sick for two weeks, but the,
serious nature of his illness was not known
until the Thursday previous and his death
came as a great shock. He was in his 21st
year.
25 YEARS AGO
In observance of their 55th wedding
anniversary. on November 16, Mr. and
Mrs. Sam Durnin, residents of Lucknow for
the past 18 years, were honoured at a
surprise family gathering at the home of
their daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and
Mrs. Henry Carter of Ripley. Sam Durnin,
son of the late Alex Durnin and Sarah Ann
McLaughlin, and Jane Gaunt, daughter of
the late John Gaunt and Ann Rutherford,
were marriedin the Presbyterian Manse on
November 16, 1898 with the late Mrs.
Perrie and Robert Sturdy of Winghami as
witnesses to the ceremony.
Four hour parking is now in effect in
Lucknow. At the November council session
a by-law was passed, which prohibits any
person leaving a vehicle, attended or
unattended, upon the streets of. highways,
within the limits of the village, for a period
of time exceeding four hours.
The, current issue of the Star Weekly
carries a pricture of a British Guiana native
toting a bag of Lucknow manufactured
flour on his back, carried in a wicker
basket, supported by a tump. line (a strap
across his forehead). The local milling
company has an extensive export business
to British Guiana and the letter on the bag
shows the brand name Carib -Queen,
milled by Treleaven Milling Company,
Lucknow, Ontario, Canada. The young
an is an Arawak Indian, who has picked
Up his, flour off the monthly plane at
Ortnduick, British Guiana and will carry it
in this fashion on his back for several days
to reach his diamond prospecting grounds.
Remembrance
BY JAMES W. BEETHAM
The cannon . are silent, forgotten their roar
And Death shall not reign at the front anymore.
Our wandering sons have come home at long last
But what of the lads who to Glory have passed?
The heroes of Caen and its horrible hill,
Of the Hochwald and Calcar and bleak Abbeville,
The Scheldt and the Maas with its merciless cold,
Munich, Dieppe and Canal Leopold,
Anzio, Sicily, ruined Cassino
Ortona, the Moro and Old Avelino --
There freely they offered, in. soul -searing strife,
The dearest a mortal can offer his life.
Their deeds shall be written in letters of gold
When their stories at Heaven's last judgement are told.
But they ask that we think of them down through the years,
And remember we shall in the midst of our tears
On the day that is theirs, when we gather to pray
And the "Last Post" is sounding and dying away.
We'll be carried, in memory to fields over there
And the teardrops will start as we murmur a prayer
To the General of All, looking down from the sky,
That it was not in vain that our gallants did die
And the sound of their voices shall come to us yet,
"You cannot, you dare not, you must not forget!"
