Thompson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, MARCH 19, 1975 10 YEARS AGO MARCH 1965 Mr. and Mrs.. Al Hamilton par-, Chased the business and proper- ty of the Mayfair Restaurant, Lucknow. The restaurant had been operated by Mr. and Mrs. Wilson Loder, who had moved to Kitchen- er. An addition to the Industrial Arts classroom of the Lucknow District High School was completed. It was to be used as a finishing room and provide storage space for supplies and projectS. Deanna Farrish, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alex Farrish of Ashfield Township. opened a hair-dressing business Lucknow in the John- stone BlOck, in the location formerly occupied by the Bruce County Health -Units Delivery Problems On Sentinels Out Of Goderich The Sentinel apologizes to sub- scribers on Goderich rural routes and 'in' the town of Goderich. Three times in the last month they have been late receiving their Sentinel. sometimes several days late. The Sentinel has been in touch with the customer service repres- entzzi:e of the post office .who has pledged his co-operation in sorting the problem out. The Goderich mail bag. which contains all Goderich rural routes and the town papers, tied in indiVidual bundles, is in the Lucknow/Post Office by noon each • — Wednesday, without exception. The bag is transported to Wingham where it is switched to a , Wingham to London mail truck. Normally. the bag is dropped off in Clinton' on the way to London, thentransported over to Goderich. MI going well, the papers are at Goderich early Thtirsday morning and are delivered that 'day. As near as can be determined, the problem arises when the truck driver fails to drop the bag off in Clinton, takes it into London where it becomes bogged down for a day or two, or lime. We have been assured by post office officials that even if the Clinton drop-off is missed, and the bag goes into London, in theory it should still, come back to ,Goderich in time for early morning delivery on Thursday. Of course, this is not happening and the customer service repres- entative in London is attempting to find out ,why. • We hope for improved deliveries on Goderich rut al routes. To the many who phoned enquiring about their paper, we're glad you miss it, and sorry about the inconvenience. 30 YEARS AGO MARCH 1945 • The local Public Library was redecorated and remodelled. ,At the rear of the library a. work room and reference - library had been partitioned.
