To the editor:
Do you have memories of the
Second World War tucked away in
a drawer? Producers of No Price
Too High, a television series on
Canadians and the Second World
war, are searching for first-hand
accounts that date from the period.
Because No Price Too High is
based on such documents,. its
producers are actively soliciting
letters, diaries, photographs, audio
recordings and film footage written
or made during the years, 1938 to
1945, covered by the series.
Selected documents will be used to
tell the story of the Second World
War from the viewpoint of a
representative cross section of
Canadians whose lives were deeply
touched by the events of those
momentous years. An example
would be correspondence between a.
serviceman overseas and his parents
or wife back in Canada.
Anybody with information regar-
ding such letters, diaries,
photographs or private ' , audio
Writer doesn't
want curbs
in Lucknow
To the editor:
Last spring there was a little talk
of curbs on Lucknow sheets.
1 think the snow removal and
sweeping the street and the way.
things are for walking is good the
way it is.
If curbs were putin from Bains
store to County Road 1, there
would be one drive-in at the funeral
home. If you are in a car you have
to park three feet from the curb to
get out the passenger side, then if
you can't manoeuver or jump the
curb you would have to walk to the
comer of the funeral home to get
on the sidewalk and back again.
The south side wouldn't have any
break in the curb from the Super
Scoop to Inglis Street.
Now what happens to the people
in wheelchairs, children's buggies
and wagons, trikes and three -wheel
battery driven carts?
I think if anyone wanted to vote
on it, they could vote on their hydro
or tax bill.

Bike helmets a must in '95
In July 1993, the province passed
a private member's bill to make
wearing a bicycle helmet mandatory
on Oct. 1, 1995.
Since then, the ministry of
transportation has formed the
bicycle safety team, a task force to
'promote safe cycling and helmet
use. The team includes partners
from the cycling community, health
and safetygroups, police
departments and other ministries.
In 1993, the ministry also forged
ahead with a full range of activities
including safe -cycling, educational
and marketing materials.
During the next year, the industry
intends to continue to form partner-
ships with other governments, the
private sector and special interest
groups to raise public awareness
about proper safety equipment and
safe cycling practices.
Police officers will continue to
remind cyclists about the upcoming
helmet law during their normal
enforcement activities.
