40 YEARS AGO'
FEBRUARY 1934
February was ushered in by a
bliziard whiblimade roads almost
impassable for motor vehicles and
brought business to a standstill. A'
cairn 'following the storm was
accompanied by clear cold weath
er , which drove the mercury dOwn
to 50 below zero on local therm-
ometers. The official low record-
ed at J. M. Greer's was 34'below
which shattered records over the
previous half a century.
Ice harvest got underway local-
ly with 'Vic Durnin and Dave
Milne conducting ice harvesting
operations on Treleaven's mill
pond and also from the pond at • .
George Greer's. The ice was
reported as "of good quality and
of a depth of twelve to fourteen
inches". Silverwood's require-
ments were '16 tons of ice.
The hall was formerly the school
house and was purchased by the
Forsters in 1901, the year •after
the new brick school was built.

Dear Don,
On behalf of the March of
Dimes Ability Fund canvassers, I
would like to thank you for the
excellent coverage you gave Sour
campaign. Because the citizens
were so well informed through
your paper , they were ready to
welcome my canvassers with gen-
erous donations.
I would like to thank the people
of the Lucknow and Dungannon
areas for contributing and to 'the
thirty-four ladies who spent many
hours canvassing.
'1 say a special thank you. Many
handicapped and disabled adults
will againhave hope because of
your help.
