The Lucknow Sentinel, 1988-07-06, Page 6Plea to end Bell strike
Dear Editor:
We would like to draw the attention of
our residents to the way in which Bell
Canada has treated one senior citizen
recently.
Our 89 -year-old neighbour was without a
telephone for 11 days. In spite of persistent
calls for repair, by her relative and us,
they did not fix her phone in what we would
consider to be a reasonable amount of
time. -
The phone is the life line for many senior
citizens who are not able to get out easily.
Without it, they cannot order groceries,
make doctor's appointments or even hear
a friendly voice.
We feel the situation involving our
neighbour was an emergency. In our letter
to Bell Canada, we encouraged them to
end their strike quickly and make the
necessary changes, so that senior citizens
and the disabled are made priorities due to
their dependency on the telephone.
Sincerely,
Gordon Cayley
Laura Lee Cayley
Remember When?
Remember when hippie meant big in the
hips,
And a trip involved travel in cars, planes
or ships?
When pot was a vessel for cooking things
in,
And hooked was what grandmother's rugs
may have been,
When fix was a verb that meant mend or
repair,
And be -in meant simply existing
somewhere,
When neat meant well -organized, tidy and
clean,
TO THE EDITOR
And 'grass was a gound cover, normally
green,
When the lights and not people were swit-
ched on and off,
And the pill might have been what you took
for a cough,
When groovy meant furrowed with chan-
nels and hollows,
And birds were winged creatures like
robins and swallows,
When fuzz was a substance, fluffx like lint,
And bread came from bakeries, not from
the mint,
When roll meant a bun and rock was a
stone,
And hung-up was something you did with
the phone,
When chicken 'meant poultry, and bag
meant a sack,
And junk, trashy cast-offs. and old bric-a-
brac,
When cat was a feline, a kitten grown up,
And tea was a liquid you drank from a cup,
When swinger meant someone who swings
in a swing,
And pad was a sort of cushiony thing,
When way-out meant distant and far far
away,
And aman couldn't sue you for calling him
gay,
Words once so sensible, sober and serious
Are making the freak scene like psyche -
delirious,
It's groovy man groovy, but English it's
not,
Me thinks that the language has gone
stright to pot:

Notes from the G.M.
Pat's Ramblings
A lovely lady called last Thursday morn-
ing with generous compliments regarding
our special Celebrate, in 1988 edition. Full
of compliments regarding the pictures and
stories contained in it, Miss Helen Thomp-
son made my day. Thanks for your kind
words about our special and our weekly
efforts.
If you have had time to read the special
edition, you will remember a story about
strange places the Sentinel turns up in.
Gene and Victoria Knorr of the 5th con-
cession of Kinloss Township are presently
renovating their home (former Don
MacKinnon farm). While removing the
wallboard etc., they found copies of the
Sentinel and the Clinton Era date 1872. Vic-
toria was kind enough to bring in several
large pieces to show us. It appeared the
newspapers were pasted to walls for
sizing.
The Knorr family have been in Ontario
for the past five year, having lived in
Saskatchewan prior to that time. Before
coming to Kinloss Township, they lived in
Harriston and Durham.
While Victoria was originally from Sud-
bury, her husband Gene is a Westerner.
Victoria said she is very pleased to be back
in Ontario and they are enjoying life in
Kinloss Township.
Harold Greer, a regular visitor to our of-
fice with interesting items, came in last
week with one that really caught my atten-
tion and took me back in time. Can you
visualize what it would have been like for a
young lady in the early 1900's living and
working in Chicago'finding it necessary to
carry a gun. Harold's mother, Minnie
Beaton, who worked in Hinsdale, a suberb
of Chicago, carried a 4 barrel, 22 calibre
Derringer made by Sharps.
Although small in size, I'm sure at close
range it would have been very effective,
Ruth's Children's Centre, Lucknow, had six wee people graduate recently, ready
for kindergarten in September. Those present, from left, were Devin Petterplace,
Mary Joan Andrew, Dan McDonagh and Paula Taylor. Absent were Jamie Jo Alton
and Russell Mann. (Pat Livingston photo)
