10 YEARS AGO
OCTOBER 1963
The election vote in 'Huron-
Bruce riding was reported to be
"one for the record" .. To have an
election end with one, vote separ-
ating the winner and the laser was
a rarity. Murray Gaunt had won
the seat in a by-election the prev-
ious year, when he defeated'
George McCutcheon by 704 votes.
A close 'vote Was anticipated
but no one would have wagered
there would be only 1 vote differ-
ence when the, ballot returns were
final, giving McCutcheon a one-
vote edge.
When 'the soldier vote was an-
nounced the penduluM swung the
other way giving Gaunt a three-
vote edge '6355 to' 6352. •
An official count was made by
the returning officer a couple of
weeks following the election.. An.
error' was discovered in the record•
ing of one of the polls which in-
creased Gaunt's lead by 25 votes,
giving him 'an oqicial majority of
28. A later official recount left
the 28 majority Unchanged.
Two rural fires within four days
razed. barns in Ashfield Township
in the Kintail and Port Albert
areas. The first fire call was to
the farm of Murray Rankin south o
Kintail.; Lost in the blaze were
58 pigS, and the season's crop of
hay, grain and straw . Mt. Rankin
had bought the property from Jack
Gould 'two rears previously.
The second fire call was to the
Albert McGee farm. The large
L shaped barn was levelled to the
foundation within an hour and ser- .
iously threatened the farm home.
Also lost was about 10,600 bales
of hay ,i1000 bushels of grain and
some implements.
30 Years Ago.
OCTOBER 1943 .
Lucknow's' 78th annual, Fall Fair
was reported best in years, with
fine weather , fine show and fine
crowd on Wednesday , September.
29, President was John Farrish
and the Fair was officially *opened
by John Hanna of Wingham M.P.P.
for Huron Brace. While 'rationing
regulations were evident on the
baking table, the indoor exhibits
were very good and the spadious
arena was very attradtive.
Word was received in LucknoW
that W.O. Aloi MacKenzie D.P.
M. , was a prisoner-of-war in
Germany. This good pews was'
received by his moth6r , Mrs. Wm
MacKenzie just 3 weeks and 2
days after Alex was officially
reported missing after 'air opera -
tions over enemy territory.

tion the ,previous winter, the

the installation of a, new heating
plant:
Lucknow .Fall Fair held on Sept-
ember 28th was reported as aline
