Thompson, Publisher • THURSDAY COULD BE IMPORTANT TO YOU Thursday of this week; Decem- ber 4th, front 10.001:m. to 9 p.m., a public- information centre will be set up at the town hill auditorium to explain and diseass the Village/ of Ludmow's new zoning bylaw' and secondary plan.. The purpose of the centre is to give the public an opportunity to review and comment on the draft plan now before council. When these two documents are finalized, they shall be used to direct and control future expansion and development in the village. The easy way to handle Thurs- day's information centre is to pass it off as being of no concern to you, and something the other fellow can look after. We are almost certain, from past experience in this type of municipal information meetc4, that the majority will handle the matter in thiS fashion. But usually, it is that same majority, after the barn door is shut and the horse has run away, that react most strongly when it is sometimes too late. Do yourself a Service, and do your town council a service. See what they have been struggling over at the council table for many months,, See how Lucknow is laid out for the future and if you don't, agree, tell them noW, not six months from now when the decisions have been enacted.

Federal. Progressive Conserva- tive Party. As the number of aspirants st...eking Robert Stanfield's position continues to grow, it is interesting to 'note that the Blyth and Teeswateir communities will both claim a candidate in the' leadership contest. Blyth's entry is Jim Watson, operator of the Village Restaurant in that community and a newcomer to that town. Mr. , Watson's campaign for the leadership has been• well organized foi some time and began while he was still living in Western Canada. - He has a committee behind him with repres- entation from across the country with his national chairman from Thorndale and his campaign man- ager. from ' Calgary. He claims to have found widespread support from both Ontario and Western Canada. Despite Mr. Watson's organiza- tion and preparation, he is an unknown to most everyone in the Conservative party ranks who will be casting those- all-important ballots for leader and his chances, at this time, seem very remote. From the Teeswater community, one of the strongmen in the party race is that of James Gillies. Jim Gillies' was. born and raised in Teeswater and has kept close personal touch with that commun- ity over the years. His' mother still resides in the village where his late father was a medical practitioner for many years. Mr. Gilles is presently member of parliament for- Don Valley and has an impressive record as an economist before being elected as a mber of parliament in 1972. He was formerly dean of the faculty of administrative studies at York University, Toronto. He is regarded as one of the leading men in the Conservative caucus. Not all is in Mr. Gullies' favour, he having spoken out against some of the present, policies of leadership within his party a few months ago. Whether this move, will prove -politically beneficial or otherwise will remain tp be seen. The leadership contest in Febru- ary should attract more than the usual interest from this part of the peovirice.

Dear Sir,: This letter is in reply to the report in your paper of November 19th, 1975 in regard to "Council ' Discuss Land Levelling". We wish to state that the figure as quoted by Reeve Joynt as the, estimated cost quoted by Mr. Gallaher was quoted in error. The actual quote by Mr. Gallaher for the estimated cost was $500.00, more or less. . Also at the time the proposed work was discussed the members of Council were present, along with the Reeve. It was agreed amongst the Councillors at that time that the work was to be done and that extra fill might be needed to complete the streets. It was stated and agreed amongst members of the Council that if extra fill was required that it should be talten from' the property of Mr. Lyons and that the Village of Lucknow would pay for any extra fill removed from the property of William Lyons. Extra fill was taken from the property of William Lyons and was used to level the streets which are the proPerty of the Village of Lucknow. The reason the account was presented by William Lyons to the Village was that the fill was used from his Property. Yours very truly, William Gallaher, Wm.' Lyons, Use Christmas Seals Dear Editor: , s--"'! It is nice to see you are doing a good job of reporting current affairs, especially, with regards to Kinloss Township. I feel a full public hearing, or report,, should be make to the paper as to why two good councillors resigned. As tax-payers, we seem to be left guessing. Yet, it is our money we elected to spend in a careful mariner. - As an example, Langside roads received only one third of the gravel required to do a good job, yet taxes are up as much as inflation. I also wonder what red tape is holding up the school culvert repairs. If local initiative was responsible as years ago, before Ottawa and Toronto started ruling our lives, it would have been fixed before school opened his year and at less cost to, all. It's' time we put a stop to Ottawa's foolish' spending. Yours truly, J. Green. Visit Here From Spain, Plan To Come To Canada Mr. and Mrs. John Taylor of Costa Blanca, Spain are visiting in Lucknow with Mr. and Mrs. Gerry Ross. The ladies are sisters. Mr. Taylor, who is " now retired, and Mrs. Taylor, came to Canada last Sunday and will remain until January. 3rd. , They have visited Canada on two other' occasions, but this will be their first Christmas here. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor have been accepted as immigrants. of Canada and will , be returning here next year to% make their home with Kitchener in -their planning.
