OPEN LETTER TO
WEST WAWANOSH COUNCIL
AND RATEPAYERS
NEW KINETTE CLUB
Four months' on the heels•of
the formation of the Lucknow and
District. Kinsmen Club has come
the formation of th:e Lucknow and
District Kinette Club.
To be a Kinette member , it is
first 'necessary to marry a Kins-
men, and eighteen young women
from this area have fulfilled this
requirement.
The enthusiasm of the Kinsmen
was very evident at the charter
night a few months ago and it was
proven on Saturday that this club
enthusiasm extends to the Kinettes
who were present from many hun-
dreds 'of miles away to wish Luck-
now well in their formation.
While there are many women's
organizations in the
each doing commendable work,
we believe that this group of
young women , as an auxiliary to
the Luclumw and District Kinsmen,
will have much to' offer this area
in' the -line of community service.

JUVENILES OUT
The Lucknow Juvenile hockey
club was eliminated by Watford
in the Ontario Minor Hockey
Association Juvenile "D" semi
finals. Many hockey fans in the
area were disappointed, to see the
team go down to defeat, thinking
that they had an Ontario Champ-
ionship team in the making. Wat-
ford now meet Wellington, in the
'Belleville area., in the Ontario
finals. •
But the boys presented fans with'
some good hockey during the sea-
son, and with the team riddled
with injuries in the Watford series,
the going got tougher.
Team management pill Hunter
and Barry McDonagh now lead the
boys into the Western Ontario
grand championship series and
they will play off with Mount For-
est in the first round.
Another grand championship
series is presently on the go 'in
Lucknow with Lucknow Intermed-
iates, the W.O.A.A. Intermed-
iate Minor "C" champs, playing
off with Belgrave, champs in
their classification.
So, it appears that , while spring
might be on the way , the hockey
season, locally , shows no sign of
slowing up for a while yet.

ment of their daughter, Donna

The' wedding will take place at
South Kinloss Presbyterian Church,
Lucknow, Ontario, May 18th at
6.00 p.m.
This is my second letter of pro-
teit. to above named. Council. .
The first was published in the
Lucknow Sentinel November 21,
1973. It was in reference to
Council minutes' published Nay -
ember 14, 1973 where a paragraph
relating to our attendance at
Council meeting was reported in a
manner I considered unfair and
not entirely factual.
In this .first Open Letter to
Council and Ratepayexs; 1 stated
we had asked for More heavily '
soaked calcium chloride dust
control treatment from 'our home,
concession 11, West Wawanosh ,, to
the swamp west of us. We were
willing to personally meet the
extra expense. It is true we were
not charged for the extra chlOr-
ide treatment in 1973 because it
proved unsatisfactory. We wish
the taxpayers to know we again
offer to contribute in 1974 if
acceptable to Council, as we are
sympathetic toward their wish to
keep the mill rate at its present
level. On the other hand, every•
one must surely realize we are
not responsible for the extremely
high amount of traffic between
Belfast and St. Helens.
Itave 'attended three council
meetings, 'reluctantly. I attend-
ed because we had not received
an answer to our request for
adequate dust control. Following
my third attendance ,I received a
letter from West Wawanosh COun-
cil in which the second of two
short paragraphs states, "More .
adequate dust •COntrol methods
will be studied and considered by
Council." This letter is dated
March 12, 1974, four months after
our first approach to Council on
this matter. It is a vague unsat-
isfactory answer and 'we have
made no progress..
In reply to March 20,-1974
Council minutes,Iwish to say,
first, the report on 'my attendance
'again' is faCtuil. However, by
their omission of relating factors
in my presentation of our Wishes,
the report is a misrepresentation
of our motives and purposes..
It is a fact that , for the con= °
venience of Coundillors; I did
offer photostatic copies of an
article received both by the clerk and myself. , This article describ-
ed Bitumuls Dust Treatment and
was received itom the Depart-
ment of Agricultural Engineering
Department, Guelph College.
The Bitumuls Base is mater soluble
/and reasonably priced. According
to the Agricultural Engineering
Department of the University ,of .
Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, it is
used on Grid Roads in Saskatche-
wan with favourable results.
I'rnake no pretence of having
pra ctical knowledge of the value
of this dust treatment in Ontario.
Weather conditions and typeS.of
soil differ, but surely Council
could keep open ,minds and seek
extra inforination; Instead they
have alreadyr , formed their opin-
ion that, since ,it is.not used al-
ready in Ontario, it can have no
value in West Wawanosh. Ingiv
ing our Road Superintendent full
marks in Thrift ,‘excellent and
knowledgeable Road Construction,
I might, nevertheless, quote the
old adage , "Out.of the mouths of
babes----and ----old ladies".
' I did not, as Council misinforms
wEDNESDAY, APRIL rd;
you, read a 'letter' to (otatll,
For self-protection.against he.
misquoted , I read my preset
tion to them. I also keep a fqr reference ;
In their published statentip
tha t I criticized Council prae
and methods, I presume they
in part , referring to my
persistence in asking for a rep'
(written) re: dust control, I
claim it is correct business pr tare and a courtesy due ann
tioner , 'to answer by mail,
I write without malice tow, anyone. Petty prejudieesk
pointless and suggest immahoi
and negative thinking. Igo'
direct my thoughts toward ap
tion to the -dust problem, a
Council will quickly finish th
period of "studying and coos'
ing" and move into action,
I 'do not experience anyp
lire in publishing either of ray
Open Letters. I have done N
to justify my pbsition.
