Home My WebLink AboutThe Lucknow Sentinel, 1983-05-04, Page 7news Lucknow Sentinel, Wednesday, May 4, 1983—Page 7 Suggests interest rate relief for farmers... •from page 6 Manitoba 21 percent and Ontario only 8 percent. For starters I would suggest in- terest rate relief under the Ontario Farm Adjustment Assistance emergency program for financially distressed farmers should subsidize interest rates by four percent down to eight percent. The O.F.A.A.P. eligibility criteria should be relaxed to include farmers with less than 10 percent equity. Surface knowledge or psychological tricks may entice some people but if you want to make politics your profes- sion, there is no firmer rock to build on than a foundation of spiritual wisdom. Is this some naive pie in the sky? Not at all. In my estimation, that's where genuine sincerity comes from, and sincerity is political power. It's more powerful than any learned technique. It's putting why ahead of how - the secret of successful Democracy. You've got the ball now Mr. Tim- brell. Might I suggest that you move with it. Don't spin your tires, this is your opportunity to establish a suc- cessful political career. Cletus Dalton RR 3, Goderic.h A memo to the prime minister... •from page 6 be exiled as well, and new ones invented. Scientists and all other enlightened people will be quick to applaud our courage and farsightedness. The ben- efits to science, to clarity of commun- ication, to world trade and under- standing are stupendous. Imagine calculating the elapsed time from 3.13 and 47 seconds AM to 9.08 and 12 seconds PM in the old way. Very laborious, like subtracting Roman numerals. Now, however, with the metock, we simply subtract 1.3457176 from 8.8068444. There is another ramification (or 'ram', for short) of this particular 'con'. (Sir! I trust your shredder is in good working worder.) As you know, there are two dimensions to disorien- tation --space and time. 1 believe we have succeeded passably well with regard to the former. Weight and volume, length, distance, speed, temperature. Who now, among Can- adians, feels at home in his spatial universe? With the metock, (Say, how about "Canclock"?) we can do for time what we've done already for space. I'll close now as your imagination must be soaring, as always. Your humble servant, political supporter, and obsequious appointee. why did his grandfather change his name? To the Editor: 1 have been doing research on my great, great grandparents who lived in Lucknow and the Bruce County area c.1850-1868. I have been told that my great, great grandfather changed his name to John McDougall from an unknown name to avoid going to war. He and Isabelle lived on under the name McDougall ever after. She was supposedly married to a Charles Campbell who allegedly was killed in the Crimean War. 1 am having difficulty understand- ing why a resident in Canada at that time would have gone to the Crimean War of England and Russia, 1854. Also, why would my grandfather have changed his name to avoid going to war, was there a draft or something? How can I find out about this and how can I find a record of my grandparents marriage in Woodstock, Ontario, November 27, 1857. It is supposed to be in Lucknow. 1 don't mean to impose with genealogical questions, but this is really important, and I am at a loss for where else to turn. I have already joined the Ontario Genealogy Society. I would greatly appreciate any assistance. Sincerely, Jim McDougall, P.O.
