Concerning Electric Power Planning At Wingimm Meeting Last Thursday New Juniorfrarmer Group Net About $1000 . At 12-Hour Danceathon, One Third Will Assist Crippled Children ' By. G. Austin Lorne Luther, N.F.U., Director of District 5, representing roughly 'the Counties of Huron, Perth, Oxford and part of Bruce, presented a brief to the Royal Commission on Electric Power Planning at the F. E. Madill Secondary School in Wingham on Thursday evening, November 27. "Metribers of the National Farmers Union in District 5,, Region 3 and no doubt a Majority of farmers, believe that food produc- tion and energy should not compete Find Bread Token Of Years Past Bob 'Gilchrist of the 4th conces • - sion of Kinloss Township recently found an interesting' item on the ground 'near the barn on his property. A silver coloured bread token, about the site of a 50c piece, was. enscribed with the wording, "Dom- inion. Bakery,, T. Reid, Lucknow,• Good for 1 Loaf of Bread". On the back was enscribed the coats of arms of Canadian provinces. The Thomas Reid and family bake shop, ice cream parlour and residence was located •where Tom Anderson of Lucknow now has his apartments on main street. The • baking ovens were in a building at the rear and to the north-west of the site. The last loaf of bread baked by Reids must have been close, to 35 years ago, an educated guess by the editor who used to get the odd donut or other goodie from Bill Reid while playing, as a child, with Bob Reid. • We two youngsters used to stand there with open mouths and big eyes until ,Bill, son of the original owner Thomas Reid and father of Bob, would throw us a tasty item with a polite suggestion that, it was time' t9 leave. West Huron Junior Farmers, a newly formed group to the south of Lucknow, tackled' their first major fund raising event last week end and •came out very successfully. They staged. a Danceathon at Lucknow Legion Hall, starting at 9 p.m. Friday and ending at 9 a.m. Saturday.
