The book exchange is continuing at Cedarhill Garden Centre with all proceeds going to C.P, We invite everyone interested to particpate by donating or purchasing books, Eleanor MacDonald, secretary, Lueknow Kinettes, editor's notebook Much hu changed in our community since the founding of The Lucknow Sentinel, 'dere have been changes in your weekly newspaper too. Change has [leen one of the hallmarks of the newspaper industry and of this weekly newspaper as well, The Lucknow Sentinel, in a continued effort to provide a more attractive, accountable and responsible product, has changed to offer its readers the beat news product possible, The changes may have been cositnetic, they may have been minor but they were always made with you the reader and advertiser in blind. In an effort to further improve our product for both readers and advertisers, we are pleased and excited to announce a dynamic change in layout and format of The Lucknow Sentinel, October 5 matte the unveiling of a totally new„,modular ,modular format and advertising purchasing system that's as simple as ARC, Icor some .time advertisers have asked to buy a "block of space so big" and now that's exactly how space will be sold. Replacing the former system of cost per column centimetre, our display advertising clients will How have the opportunity to purchase standard units of space, We call them Advertising Units, Advertising Units are, for lack 'of a better term, bodes, Our tabloid site format will provide 32 units per full page (eight in each of four columns). MI advertising units are individually and equally priced and can be purchased in a variety of ways to form blocks of space related directly to the percentage of a page you wish to dominate, Thirty-two boxes equal one page, Slxteen bores equal one-half page, tour boxes equal one-eighth of a page, etc. The advantage to this new format is simply a cleaner, ro newspaper page design, No more crowding up or spreading out of ads because the shapes do not fit together quite right, lilt a system as simple as building blocks and we think it's Amply great, With the 1910s came greater awareness of graphics among newspaper readers and the need for those in charge of publishing newspapers to produce mote graphically attractive pages, Hy the mid-1970s, newspapers everywhere had given new meaning to the familiar word, "style", or better yet, had added graphic style to their publications, Just as editors have always been concerned with appropriate and consistent writing style, they have now become aware of the need to preserve a sense of graphic continuity and sequence throughout the newspaper. Billboards, television programs, movies, magazines, mail advertising, product packaging, company logos, airline tickets, menus and even birth certificates and personal cheques presently show a more visually appealing use of graphics. 1<lewspapets can be no exception. To think graphically means to invite the reader into each page with attractive, provocative and orderly use of photos, typography, and illustrations, It means to re-create a sense of graphic identity and consistency through every page of the newspaper. The readers being invited in today are better educated, more sophisticated, more active and more mobile than their counterparts of x5 years ago. They want newspapers that ate readable, relevant, topical, urgent and exciting. Out change to the modular format at this time offers the opportunity to create well-designed pages that will require tittle effort from the reader. The Lueknoo' Sentinel is a vibrant vehicle for your community news. Each week we offer a wide range of reader services includitng top notch photographs, extensive news coverage, feature stores, columnists and thought provoking editorials. We are the nvitrot on the community and the main thrust and focus of out product is people. Your hews, your events. your problems and successes are profited and chronicled on- our n-our pages each week. The Lucknow Sentinel is an integral part of the community - an integral part of your life. THOMAS A. THOMPSON - Advertising Manager SHARON J. DIETZ - Editor PAT LIVINGSTON - Office Manager JOAN HELM - Compositor MERLE ELLIOTT • Typesetter redtrees It was a wet spring. Even upon the sandy loam slopes of the Caledon hills, it was evident that there would be no early planting, heavy rains iti the early part of April turned the narrow pathways and concession roads into quagmires, so there was little move- ment, Those who ventured forth were rewarded for their stupidity by spend- ing countless hours in extracting both horses and wagons from the oozing mud. In the shadowed hollows of the hills, last winter's snow was rapidly retreat- ing in face of the abundant warm rain, Only the beasts of the bush were not delayed in their springtime activities. Man of course, totally out of touch with basic natural living for many centuries, looked anxiously at the dark skies, and prayed for -the sun to restore the soil to fertility, in the meantime, the relentless destined the bush continued, Men worked` ankle deep in soft sucking soil, so that movement was difficult, and often their feet were pulled out of their rough boots, as they swung their axes into the resinous fibres of the trees. In Toronto, conditions were similar, except that in the semi -paved streets near the harbour front, horse drawn traffic moved with little difficulty, sending splashes of brown water onto the clothes of the pedestrians, who shook their fists at the drivers, to no avail, The ladies were reluctant to leave the wooden sidewalks, but when they were forced to do so, were obliged to lift their long skirts far above the ankles, much to their embarrassment and delight of those men who were sufficiently interested in such feminine detail, Lucknow Sentinel, Wednesday, September 28, 1963—Page 6 Business and Editorial Office Telephone 528-2822 Mailing Address P.O.

Occasionally, vessels could be seen moving between the ports in Lake Ontario. Some were tall ships, with tight canvas harnes- sing the wind. The modern ships, of course, no longer were subject to the whims of wind and water. They threshed their way across the harbour, accompanied by the toots and hoots from their steam whistles, much to the delight of little boys who gathered on every possible occasion to watch these fascinating side -wheel contraptions arrive and depart, Jane Cameron waited impatiently in the old Dove mansion for road conditions to improve. Endowed with the wealth of her father, and that station in life which places one human being above another, in her fretful- ness, she harrassed the household staff unnecessarily and particularly the wet nurse who, not only fed, but cared for every need of Jane's child. The nurse was - a young Irish woman, Maureen Brady and because of a single indiscretion, had given birth to an illegitimate child, Sadly (ot perhaps thankfully) the child had been born dead and the milk which nature had provided to feed it, now nourished the Cameron child. There was no question of asking Maureen to return with Jane to the Caledon hills. in her poverty she had no choice and she was a prisoner of her own misfortune. Society in those days had little pity on women who committed sin and quite often they were despised without mercy. Little did Jane know the extent of the hostility there would be in Itedtrees towards the wet nurse of the purple grove news Gladys Arnold and Bron and Anne McCosh had an en- joyable trip to Sarnia with a tour of the city of Sarnia, a three and a half hour boat cruise on the St. Clair Water- way, the world's busiest waterway and a tout of Wallalreburg.

Friday Jim and Fran attended the Ontario Championship Holstein Show at the Western Fair and also visited Mr. and by don oempbell Cameron child. This "whore of a papist heathen" would, of course, provide enough gossip for the pioneer women to last a liftitme, Jane, in her selfishness (and stupidity) was con- cerned only with her child and had overlooked the consequences of intro- ducing a lone Catholic woman into a Presbyterian community. When Jane could no longer contain her patience, she hired "a coach and four" for the long journey up the old Sixth Line, It was a route which afforded hotel accommodation every few miles, and as such, was not as formidable as other journeys into the broad expanse of the Canadian bush, The general baggage was placed on top and at the rear of the coach where, incidentally, the driver fastened a spare wagon wheel, in those days, little could be left to chance, inside the coach, Jane sat facing the direction of travel, She was dressed in the latest of fashion; a green velvet travelling suit with a tight bodice and a silk blouse of matching colour ruffled at the neck. A large green chapeau adorned with ostrich feathers was perched upon her head, and surrounding her being was the scent of the choicest and most expensive French perfume. Hy contrast, the Brady woman was dressed in the coarse woollen gar- ments appropriate to her station in life, except for the fact that a white and exceptionally clean blouse cover- ed the upper part of het body. This was Jane's innovation - the hygenic protection for her childl So it was, that in the first week of April, the doctor's wife began her journey along the road to the Caledon hills and Redtrees.
