TICKETS $10 EACH THE LUCKNOW .SENTINEL WS TOO LONG Hockey in this area has turned on full swing in the past—few weeks • and will occupy a high percentage of the, lives of many young people from now through until the early spring. Anything which occupies the lives of young people, also involves the majority of adults who live in the same households. Many of these same adults tell us that the hockey season is much too long, and we are inclined to agree with this opinion. Late October and early. November presently sees increasing number of arenas ad- vancing the date of installation* of ice a week or so each year and it becomes , a mushrooming situation _whereby no-one wants to be last to have ice facilities. The end result is that by the time the Mid winter hockey season arrives, many fanS, coaches and • players have reached a point where they would like a break from the demanding schedules which pres- ent themselves. But by that time, with playoffs approaching, there is not a chance. So the demands continue until the, early days of spring, long past the time 'when anyone wants to be inside an arena with warm weather and spring fever at hand. Despite the fact that we' contin- ually hear complaints about the length 'of the season, there is no evidence that anyone wishes to take the bull by the horns and publicly 'suggest otherwise: May' we go on record as being the first to say it. running the risk of being branded as un-Canadian for spout- ing such a sacrilege: ken *********•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• The LUCKNOW SENTINEL LUCKNOW, ONTARIO um, Soppy Town" On the Huron-Bruce Boundary I ' • • • • • o * ' • •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Second Class Mail Registration Number 0847 Established 1873 — Published Wednesday - Member of the C.C.N.A. and 0.W.N.A.

REPLACEMENT NECESSARY Last week. the village was forced to cut down numerous trees in the community which had become rotten and a danger .to residential areas; Lucknow has long been' known for its many maple trees which have added to the atmosphere of the village over the years. We recall, while attending school. a teacher who lived in this area for many year's and taught in our local high school, telling the class that the most attractive part of this village to him, when first 'deciding to come to Lucknow to teach, was the appearance of "Station Street", more properly called Havelock, and the long rows of stately maples which lined the roadway. Many years ago, progress de- manded trees be removed from Lucknow's Main Street to facilitate the improvement of roads and sidewalks.
