THE LUCKNOW SENTINEL, LUCKNOW, ONTARIO
Friends:
I received the invitation to
,e-union, which I had of
e been reading about in the
nel,
ope the reunion is a success.
e names of promoters are all
lounger generation, which is
should be. Success to them-
weather and good luck for
eir endeavours.
e any arrangements being
for overnight accommoda -
for out of town people? •
enclosing a subscription
val for one year for the Sent-
one more years news of
ftOrn Lucknow. Local news
at keeps Bruce County news-
papers more interesting than many
others. When advertising,
syndicated columns and sport
pages - exceed those of news of
local personalities, community
endeavours, agricultural news,
homemaking columns etc, etc. - •
one might as Well read Daily pap-
ers exclusively.
Our town is presently experienc-
ing that right now , two competi-
jive papers in one small town. •
Certainly there is only room for
one. The one which gives the
most local news, including 'local
sports, will, most likely win out.
Best regards to all,
Sincerely,
Viola Kerry ,
Box 203 , Elmira , Ont.
Lucknow. Sentinel:
I saw where you were offering
the Sentinel for 2 years at the old
price and while it would seem so,
I am ,not begging, but I have tak-
en the Sentinel for many 'years and
I don't know whether I'll outlive
this 2 year subscription.' I'm send-
ing for it anyway and appreciate
very much the chance.
I'll soon be going out to pasture
if I even see that far , but the Sen-
tinel has certainly been a weekly
pleasure for me and this happens
to be a birthday gesture to me :as
I was 57 on March 24. The .
Sentinel is just like a letter from
home and while' I haven't been
there fbr quite a While , whenever
I refer to it invariably•say "back
home".
Great to hear and read about
this summer's celebration. Con
gratulations in the years ahead.

Dear Committee ,
Thank you so much for the invi-
tation to attend the Lucknow, Re-
union.. We hope to be in Kitchen-
er over that week end and, to bring
our family on the Sunday to meet
our relatives and old friends.
Dear Don -
I am sorry to be tardy in answer-
ing your letter ar.d query as to the
proposed Lucknow reunion.
The idea is a good oae. It is a
pleasure and delight to meet
former friends and schoolmates,
and townsfolk whom you knew
at school or in the activities of
the town.
I recall the opening night at the
last reunion (held at High School).
W. L. MacKenzie, dressed in the
role of an old-timer, was superb
as a chairman for the evening.
The program was•good - it was•
held outdoors and people, moved
freely as they' met friends,.
The violin and bagpipes always
lend-to the "nostalgia",. Even
the mouth organ and Jew's Harp
have their place.
The churches,' as I remember ,
provided refreshments which were
appreciated after the Sunday serv-
ices. Church services might in-
clude speakers or preachers such
as Rev. George Douglas (now Dr.),
Rev. Bill Henderson. Possibly
former ministers could be invited.
'Parades are always interesting.
Old time costumes, and outmoded
vehicles used in transportaion are
intereseng. Does anyone remernT
ber•Old Jock Adams and the Stage
& Mail Delivery?
Does anyone recall the Wagon•-
ette or Carriole which carried us
to Point Clark or Black Horse Lake
for picnics?
As a boy I remember the good
times at the skating rink owned
by Mr. Jack Henderson. The car-
nival, HOtkey Matches, and
Skating were real events.
Often afterwards we went to Mrs.
Campbell's, restaurant for Corn
Stew (Soup) and crackers. I was
always amazed how Lorna took
the orders (she never failed to re-
member every item).
Personally I don't think we need
high ranking 'entertainment as
much as we need opportunities to
meet, talk and reminisce..
Possibly one of the problems
Might be that of accommodation.
Motels at, Wingham , Kincardine
and Goderich would help but even
at that the accommodation would
be limited;
School .bands are always interest•
ing to me . Gymnastics and Na-
tional Dances are features also.
I notice that the Kinsmen and
Kinettes' have recently been or-
ganized. No doubt they and other
organizations would lend energy,
and direction to the celebration.
How do you propOse to finance?
I am sure Lucknowites (former)
would be glad to help.
Best of luck Don. Let 'us know
how we can help. -
Yours truly,
Harold B. Burns.
Mr. Don Thompson,
Lucknow Reunion,
Lucknow, Ontario.
Dear Don:
Thank you for your invitation to
the Lucknow Reunion. I will be,
very happy to attend and look for-
ward to seeing you again.
Sincerely yours,
Fred Whitby, Detroit.
"Thanks so much fix-the reunion
invitation" writes Mrs. Wm'. Ruth-
erford of Goderich.

It is this time of year again to
