Canada Apcna Member of the Canadian Community Newspaper Association and the Ontario Community Newspapers Association Val's Views Valerie Gillies A Poem from the Past A Purple Grove WI reporter came across this poem that was in a collection published in 1967 as a book- let ooklet entitled "Home and Country Gleanings" by Dean MacLeod. It was passed on to this office to share as it was written about the Sentinel at Christmas time. It is definitely a tribute to the staff of the past. Rather than hold onto this gem until next Christmas, here it is, once more, for folks to enjoy. Thank you for sharing. The Home Paper The year climbs up to it's highest peak, To the glorious Christmas season, And the Lucknow Sentinel, this week Has quite a happy reason For donning it's very gayest dress Just to go again to press. A hundred greetings, more or less! Why the world's alive with friendliness! Let's tell The Sentinel how, all year We welcomed it's weekly coming, When news from lands both far and near Kept the great world presses humming. Never news like the local news, So let us, each and all, enthuse And vow in future to refuse To keep from our paper fine, it's dues. Week in, week out, it ready stands To catch the ready beating, And feel the pulse throbs in the hands Of a little world it's greeting. How would we knowwho's sick or dead? Or who was to the altar led? What we can get to spread our bread? Or things the politicians said? And think of the folks from Huron, Bruce Who journeyed away and away, Who heard a call and were foot -loose And never came back to stay. Gladly they hail the Sentinel too, Read its pages thru' and thru; Hunt for the names of those they knew, And everything the home folks do. Pilgrims all, we must travel on With face to the sun's uprising. And at Christmas time we gladness don, It isn't at all surprising. For at this time the world grows small, It isn't the same big world at all, The absent ones they backward call, And we're kids again, all playing ball. So here's to the Sentinel staff who toil, Just a bit of hearty praising, We know you burn the midnight oil, And isn't it quite amazing We leave our kindness late somehow, A little word to cool your brow, Your work is fine all must allow, So "Merry Christmas" to you now!
