Knowing one's neighbours, their children and families, we in a sense become one big family. Unfortunately, there are people who take advantage of the trusting nature of residents of a small village and in fact just recently this has happened in Lucknow, when some residents were approached by young people asking for money to send them on a trip. There is always some type of fundraising project being carried on the village and area. The project may involve the school, churches, local organizations or national organizations such as the campaigns led by the Cancer Society or the Heart and Stroke Foundation. This type of fundraising effort is very worthwhile and is a benefit to the group heading the project and our society in general. When students are soliciting funds on behalf of their school, they are usually selling a product that they are able to show you. They will iden- tify themselves and their school and explain the project to you. If no product is involved and they are simply asking for sponsorship of an event they are participating in, they will have a pledge sheet with them and when they return to collect the pledge, they will have a let- ter of verification from the school or teacher. If an individual is still not sure of the authenticity of the request, they should feel free to call .the school involved and check out the details. The same can be said of any group canvassing for funds. Canvassers always hove first hand information about the campaign and wiDil give a legal receipt bearing the name of the organization on whose behalf they are collecting. It is an unfortunate fact of life, yes, even in Lucknow, that people will try to take advantage of others for their own profit. The next time someone calls at your door soliciting funds, take the time to check out the facts furE [before handing over any money. it's better to be safe than sorrry. Scorpios, • not nice peop e 2 ? I'm really not a strong follower of my horoscope and what it predicts for me on a daily basis. I quite often give it a quick glance and have a laugh or two at what it says. At The Sentinel, every year, we receive the Chase Almanac and it gives a detailed description of each zodiac sign. After reading mine - Scorpio, I was shocked beyond words to find out that ap- parently I am not a particularly nice person! Some areas do apply such as black being my colour - I do love black. Tuesday is my lucky day - thank goodness - that's the day I paste up the paper and I need all the luck I can get. My flowers are honeysuckle and thistle - honeysuckle to me is boring and thistle would indicate a prickly kind of person. I apparently have a many -faceted per- sonality with my most noticed characteristics being "hardness, resoluteness and endurance, with - just below the surface - a latent tendency towards violence: don't meet Scorpio in a dark alley when he's in a bad mood." I disagree with hardness, will agree to resoluteness and question endurance. I most certainly am not a violent person - if you met me in a dark alley at night, whether I was in a bad or good mood, I would be running the opposite way! the-bi siness-sense, I -am -a --- good person to have around. If there is a job to be done Scorpios take firm control, recognize their goal and move toward achieving it with a determination that often alienates the people they work with. Those who dislike me say that I am entire ly too aggressive, that I am ruthless and unthinking when there is no need to be. I Rby Pat Livingston AMBLINGS make enemies easily. Now all of this gar- bage doesn't sound like me at all - does it? Winning is not important to Scorpios, we receive joy from overpowering resistance, prevailing through force, resourcefulness and sheer strength of will, which makes others say we are petty and superficial. I'm really getting depressed now! Now comes the good - Scorpios have dep- ths of character and personality that are not found in any other sign - well that's a bonus. The good part is short lived - those refer- red to depths can be unpleasant. Scorpios' quiet exterior quite often masks a virulent- ly vindictive nature. Resentment comes easily to us and we can be inventive in retaliation. Me be vindictive? Never! If I'm going to retaliate, it would be verbally, which I don't call "inventive". Scorpios have a long memory - I'll agree with this one, and a short temper - I'll agree with this one, (although it is not as short as it once was) and our enemies will attest to this. As a Scorpio I am really star- ting to sound like a terrible person. It's difficult to find in Scorpios the elements of charity and forgiveness others like to see in their friends, but this doesn't bother Scorpio. I am self-contained, self- sufficient and have little need of friends. �T ate! But wait - get this paradox - others in their hour of peril or greatest need find their firmest supporter in Scorpio. That's one for us fellow Scorpions. I am apparently sensitive to recognize others difficulties and in my COMPAS- SION I direct all of my abilities to anothers Turn to page 5 • WELL PA NO MOR3 E PREF RIOES CTUM WE'LL Susi' HAVE To WORK 1111 r, 1111 12' iuN 111111ntt . ,Illfl GOVCRNMENT UI CUTS 70 years ago Aprfl 17, 1919 To the user of coal - The price of coal has been established for this year. The cost is the lowest from now until June first. On June first it advances 250 per ton; on September first 25c per ton, mak- ing a toal advance of 50t per ton. We are getting a fair supply in all sizes but the Coal Compan,<es will not guarantee the extent of time this will con- tinue. They make this explanation that there is a great labor unrest on all sides, and if this unrest takes hold of labor in the mining regions their hands will be tied. Our position is this we will get in all the coal we possibly can in the next two or three months if you will take it away. If you dor. ° all we can do is fill our sheds and au do results.

It is a revealing fact that age wise 25 percent of the residents of the Village would qualify as prospective tenants, but of these there would be those who would not be eligible because of incomes in ex- cess of the maximum stipulated by the regulations governing the plan. The committee in charge of in- vestigating the plan for the Lucknow and District Lions Club, see chief merit in the apartment building, if it makes available some moderately modern family homes. The project known as Twin Pines Apartments is sponsored by the United Co-operatives of Ontario in conjuction with interested individuals, fraternal or church groups, Legion branches, service clubs and municipalities.
