s Sixteen residents: of the village •
were concerned enough about Cent.
ennial'year observance in the
.'village to spend their 24th of May
holiday Monday evening in the:.
Lucknow Town Hall planning for
a suitable major Centennial pro-
ject th be carried out in Lucknow .
the Centennial committee,
which h'ad been appointed the
week previousat a well attended
public m'eetin'g, is being chaired ,
by Bob Finlay with Donna Ritchie
'the•secretary :and Rev. 12.14. Stir-
ling,. treasurer,
After discussion of a variety. Of
suggestions it was agreed by the, '
group that the: development of a
new parkin ;Lucknow , with picnic
facilities and .children's
playground,. would, be the major
centennial project promoted by.
the .Lucknow.Centennial CommiL.
''ttee. Several'p`ark sites were sugg-
ested with the area. just .east of
Jack MacDonald's,garage. on Wil]
oughby Street and ''running. south to.
the river, being generally favoured.
as a suitable location. This proper-
ty is owned. ;by Bob MacKenzie of
Lucknow who; had indicated prior
to thea meeting that he was not part-
icularly interested in sellingathe:
propertybut would.do sp if it was
the• wish of the committee to 'loc
ate a 'park on this site.. .. '
A committee'of Bob Finlay, Mrs.
Morgan. Henderson; and Charles. Web.
ster was appointed to meet with
village council and Mr. MacKenzie
to determine if this project met
with their favour and to determine
if centennial grants would be app
roved for this park project'.
Earlier discussion in the meeting .'
ce tred'around, the improvement.of
the Caledonian Park site but the
meeting generally favoured the
establishment of a hew park site.
Considerable'discussion centred'
•around the adopting of a swimming
pool as the centennial project.
Main support for this project .came,
from the youth of the community.
Most adults' feel the need of a •
swimming pool -but' -rely on the.'ex-
periences.of othervillage.organiz
ations who, 'on several occasions, '.
have investigated this project and
turned it down. It was the. general
'agreement of most 'of the :centenn-
ial committee that a swimming .
pool project was more,than they
.wished to attempt. •
it was felt by the meeting that
roller_. skating should have been.
introduced as a summer sport in'
the •Lucknow arena following the
install.atton•..of the new. floor by
the Lions Club several years .ago .•
It was feltthat this was a respon--
sibility of the arena board ;and
recreation committee.' A comm-
ittee was appointed to meet with
village council to determine if
this could not be commenced at
once.
It was;, reported that new • signs
were "on the drawing board" for.
entrances to the village This in -
