HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Lucknow Sentinel, 1994-10-12, Page 5Looking for WW II memorabilia 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. Andy. Scott.

Anderson Charters Executive Producer 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.
