DUMPING
n .. Some'question has arisen as to whether the present hours at the
Lucknow village dump best suit the needs of the village 'residents..
The dumpis now open . to the; public, on Tuesday 'evenings from
'• PP
•
7:30 to 8:30 p.m. and on Thursday afternoons. from 2 to .4 p.m.. An
1 ^
attendant is onduty at that time and other than these two specified
times, the dumpis closed.
These hours were originally adopted• to curb • problems which had
been created at the dump when the grounds; :were open allthe time.
• With the dumping now supervised, •the facilities arekept in better
• and more usable condition.
George. A. Newbold, chairman' of the council sanitation com-
mittee, has this week inserted in The Sentinel a 'questionnaire for
village residents with provision for them to indicate what days, and
Whether afternoon or evening, would be best :suited to them and their
dumping requirements. •
If you are .unhappy with the present dumping hours, orifyou'
think they are fine and don't want them changed, now is the ' time
to state your .preference. The majority opinion of . village residents
will, be considered and the dumping hours regulated to fit the 'feeling
of the community. Nowis the time tomake your .feelings' known.

year' , and each year we seem to
receive a few dollars more, 'This.
year Lucknow, has not only
supported cancer research, educ-
.ation; and: service to patients by
financial donations, but many
people •have given of themselves
personallyto help soften the
impact of Cancer on a family in
our village. , .A few months ago,
when.I put an ad in: the 'Seminal
for a homemaker which the
Cancer Society would pay'for, 1;
iwas not too optimistic'aabout any
response., Would you believe:' it, •
four women, got in touch' with'me:

refused to be, paid for ;their ,work
and the .Sentinel•wouldn't even
tet me pa,y' for the notice

The decision did not rest well with the executive. of the Ontario

Mr 1Vliher strongly advised the Ashfield local to ' reconsider
•their decision about :supporting the G.F.O.:It is apparent that Mr..
Miller, could see a leak' in the 'boat if the Ashfield decision 'stood.
No doubt he was concerned that . a series of such leaks might .even=
tually sink .his; ship: f Te 'indicated to the Ashfield local' that publicity
gained' by them in their support of.; G.F.O. was harmful• to the
' F_armers Union . •• . •
•
The Sentinel'' is not: completely clear : on what• transpired at or
following the meeting, but it •was agreed that the motion' would again
be discussed at the, May meeting which• was held last Thursday;• •
A motion 'at Thursday's meeting 'to reaffirm the stand taken at
the March '6 meeting was defeated by :a vote, of .19 - 14. This :Means
that the Ashfield local's support for G.F.O. :will be withdrawn.'

As 'an outside, observer we don't. pretend to know who is right
and who is wrong: We 'do however, feel 'that Walter Miller's, . visit
to Ashfield' int April was, a• desperation move within 'Union: ranks and
'an indication that members were not left alone to make their own de-
cisions. His •request for no publicity on the meeting is indicative of Ins.
concern' about the• Ashfield local's , original decision to .'support G.F.O.
The.unfortunate part locally is''that a rift has come 'about 'in
.a' strong Local . farm voice. President, Jim Martin, treasurer • Vince
Austin and secretary Pat Martin have ' found it necessary to resign
their office in the Union. Following the March decision, they pledged
their support to G.F.O. and had no alternative but to resign, after

The change in the position .of„ the Ashfield local leaves these:
and other Union members, in an impossible` position. ,
