ants Action On:-
Swimming Pool
February 18„,
'Editor,
Lucknow Sentinel.
Dear Sir, •
For the 'past 2 years, the
Ashfirld Recreation committee •
has spent-close to :$20.00:.00 in
transporting child to swimming
classes at the Judith Gooderham •
Pool in doderiCh... This motley
was raised through Walkathons, b •
a community effort.
Through joint meetings With
the four Recreation committees in
the Town Flail in Lucknow in .
1970', we were told there would,
be a swimming pool in Lucknow.
because no'swinining pool was
the sUmnier of.1971,
the executive of the • •
committee made a motion to
approach the County SOhool
Boards, requesting that a swi-nP,-
Tiling pool be made availableiin
Ashfield TOwnship.
Again, we were told that money
was available from service clubs'
in Lucknow and a swimming
pool would be definitely provided
for the summer of •1'972.
A, system could be worked ou t
where the north part of the Town-
ship could be served by Luc know ,
the south part' .by Goaerich. All
classes'qould instructed in a
2 hour period, so parents could
arrange Oar pools, rhos saving
the high cost of transportation.
A,fter reading, the Lucknow Sent-
inel Of February hi'. apparently
no decision has been taken yet. .
Arc We in Ashfield getting the run
around again? Can Lucknow •
'afford to ignore the municipalit-
ies? ,

Is important that. accurate highway conditions be reported to
.travellers, but if the public receive exaggerated hazard conditions,
they' will soon tune out ~all advice about travelling. and this presents
an even more dangerous situation.
One area resident, who travels .a number of miles' daily to and
from work, told-us, "If I listened to highway reports, I'd never get
out of bed in the Morning." No doubt anexaggeration, but this is
indication of how this 'man feels about the credibility to which we
refer. •
A few weeks ago, when driving from Teeswater to Lucknow on
Highways 4 and 86, we, heard on radio three dines that the road was
-closed.. Driving at the time was not excellent, but .was not, a hazard.
A short time ago we had to make ''a trip to Walkerton and
phoned the. O.P.P. office there. We 'were told that No. '9 highway was
'not good and it was suggested that we stay at bailie, which we did.
We found out later from another traveller that this was just not true.
On Sunday of this week; a couple of hours after hearing on radio
that all secondary roads in the area were closed,'we travelled 25 miles"
over these same secondary roads referred to. A conversation with an-
other motorist, indicated that he had travelled the' roads, plowed to
the fences, before the newscast was. heard.

The Road'' is not good enough for people who lave important husiness
aid personal' matters to attend 'to by traVel.1'f we.want them to heed
warnings, then completely credible inforination must be ,supplied at
