Dear -editor:
We find it impossible, to
-leave this area without,
iventioning a few facts`
about Lucknow and its
people.
As we've lived' here.
now, for 30 years, we,have
seen many changescome
about: • Stores have •
changed hands.: every so.
often,'new.; faces here and
there, but the' core of the
people .stayed.
In ,winter, withits
snowstorms and some-
times, downright •impossi-
bleweather, we have
experienced the readiness
of the .Lucknow .people'to
help out where they can,
Suminers are most
beautiful here in: the mid
western region." Nice and:
warm,...and always, a,
breeze, at least at our loca
tion

We came when thechil-
'.dren were small - one
.three and five years .old:,
They grew ;up.on `the farm,
s free .as, a' bird, They
attended schools. in
Ashfield; ° Ripley. and:
Wingha'm.. Their teachers
were ''very" close to, the
children and made them
ready for university and
college
When we 'were just
here, I found the pace very
sl'o' v and was sometimes
irritated by the fact that l
had to wait for•(quite) a
While, if some repair work
had to be done. But gradu-
ally, I learned that good
'..things come, to them that
wait:' And .'eventually,.a
person falls' into this slow-
er rhythm himself, if only
you. give it. time: •
Lucknow is' a town
where people greet you on
the street, where people in
the bank are always s.mil-.
ing and ready to help
(thanks to all you girls). •
It's also a place where
you; can phone the store
and ask the clerk to please
give ,a message to your
husband if you happen to
forget something.`
It's hard to mention all
the special people we have
met and which, crossed.our
way; we'd like to -thank
you •one and all for your
friendliness and care...
We,are moving ,to
another small village now,
and we hope to find as
much pleasure in' living •
thereas we did herein
Lucknow.
We bid you all ,a fond:.
farewell; hoping our ways
may cross sometimes
when we return for visits.

Volunteerism at its best
in Jack and Doreen Mal
Dear editor:
There are, a couple of people in the
area who have done a tremendou. s
amount of volunteer work in our minor
sports system for several years, and it's
time they were recognized:
From the start of the
pre -season soccer
registration,. coaches
have to be recruited
for each team in
each level. Teams
have to be split, evenly •
in each division Scheduling meetings
were attended and schedules set up for
. each team as well as referees being
scheduled for the season.
Iri our rec soccer system, we have. over
130 kids involved in the squirt level; 68
(4 teams) in the atom division; 26 (2
teams) in the 'mosquito division; 27 (2
teams) in the pee wee division; and 15 on
the bantam team.
When the season starts you would
often see these two people at our, local.
soccer field making sure practices and
games ran smoothly if it didn't interfere
with some of their children's games.•..
When the older squirts sent four teams to
a tournament in Wingham, these two peo-
ple could be seen cheering on• the side-
ro
s
lines the whole day - even though none
of their childrenwere involved in the
tournament.
Again, this past weekend, as the Atom
13 -Tool team was playing the champi-
onship game in the year end tournament
in Clinton, their voices
could be heard .on
the sidelines - soft-
ly though - as they .
had been cheering,
from 8 a.m. to 8
rn the
xit bag
Lucknow is very fortunate to have
these two people promoting and organiz-
ing soccer for th the past eight years and
pushing this sport to the level that we are
competitive with all other communities in
the area.
So, when you see Jack and Doreen.
Mali, give them a thank you and let them
know you appreciate how they have
made the sport of soccer grow 'for all our
children to enjoy.
Just the numbers registering. in this .,.
year's soccer, program alone should make
' Jack and Doreen very proud.
Wayto go! And thanks from. all -the
parents of the players. • • 0 •
