HOW MANY OLD-TIMERS
RECALL THE BROWNIES
Mr. W. H. Robertson made re
cent editorial mention in The
Signal-Star to those little gnom-
like figures that half a century
ago were an, interesting feature
otf an American magazine. Mr-
Robertson had the impression
that the author, Palmer Cox, was
somehow associated with Luck-
now.
Mr. /Robertson wrote as. (fol
lows: ‘Arthur Ford in The Lon-
don Free Press recalls the
Brownies whose exploits were , a delightful feature/ Of the maga
zine—we : fprget ’which one—in
which, they were set. forth in
story and picture by Palmer Cox.
Mr. Ford states that Cox was a
Canadian, born at Granby, Que.

Goderich on their way to that
town/ This writer got. the im
pression that Palmer Cox was. at
some/ time a resident of . Luck
now. Perhaps our confrere of The
Lucknow Sentinel can give some
information on this point”. v
The, Sentinel Publisher was not
able to shed any light on the
subject, but S. B. SJtothers could,
and he penned the following note
to the Signal-Star.
“Your item re Palmer Cox in-:
trigued me. He did work here.
He and .his brother Edwin came
here some, time in the sixties- I
would judge. Edwin married my
greataunt Alice Andrew and they
went to Minnesota in 1866. Some
of my, cousins there are•'' nieces'
and nephews and I plan to write
them for ’ further .information.
Uncle Ed,win Was a. member of
the Minnesota. Legislature for a
term. I visited some of them last
summer. If I get any‘info’ I will,
send it to you”.

NOTHING TO EXCESS
■/
J
An excellent rule! Even-drink
ing too much water or eating
too much meat can do harm. But
the case of alcohol is different
from these. It is habit-forming.
It lessens the power to control
drinking- With each drink the
censor becomes more careless.
The inhibitions are broken down.
Any drinking -'that lessens con
trol- is immoderate drinking. The
drinking driver, with “just two beers” under his 'belt may be
more dangerous than the drunk
en driver. He thinks he is moye
Skilful than he really is. Every
excessive drinker began/ as a
moderate drinker. In. Canada,
people, in supendous numbers are
passing beyond the line that sep
arates the heavy drinker from
the alcoholic. Why walk on a
tight rope when there is a safe
sidewalk.—Advt.

DONALD
“We Fear
The picture of the above powerful Scot* is approximately 70
years old. Several stories have
been told regard ing its ’ origin
and this may be the correct one. A wood'1'carver or mat maker
who had been to Lucknow to be
jntheGames,fpund,nnthefoK
lowing morning, that he had, lost
his wallet which contained all
his money and train: ticket.
He made his way to the Main'
Street where he started to sketch
a Highlander putting the shot.
A crowd soon gathered, among
whom were some of the members
, of the Caledonian. Society, who
supplied him with enough motley
to purchase a railway ticket to
the city in exchange for the Wood
carVihg from which the above
picture was made. It was carved
on a three-foot high basswood
board which still hangs in The
Sentinel Office. The Society add-
ed the suitabie slogan, “We Fear
Nae Foe”,
The. big Scotsman carving
stands three feet high/and was
used for advertising--the Luck--
now. Highland Games, the 1910
Reunion and as a souvenir of
the Bruce Reunion in 1948. The
above likeness ..which was . pro
duced from reducing a photo
graph of the carving is occasion
ally used each year for Scottish
or Clansmen activities.
Wifred McQuillan has had a
crest made in Scotland, using the
powerful Scot putting the shot
arid had eriscribed on the, garter
the slogan “We Fear Nae Foe”.
This crest can be worn by any
of the Clansmen, curlers, bands
men or any of the Balmoral or
Glengary wearing persons in
the Lucknow district. There is
not any, other like it to the know-
"ledge of the writer and it is ex-
clusively associated . with the
Lucknow District, and all its
Scottish' history and traditions.
The above picture, however,
bears nd actual likness to the
real Donald Dirinie, blit was in
spired by the feats of strength
of this powerful man, who was
champion athlete of Scotland in
his .day, and while on a tour of
the States came to Lucknow to
compete in the internationally’
famous Caledonian Games.

NEW PHONE DIRECTORIESHave been distributed
iBooks Which will take an im
portant place in each Lucknow
home and office are the new buff
colored Bell Telephone director
ies distributed to customers in
Lucknow this week. '■
Included in the new directory
ate 2,747 new and changed list
ings in addition to the telephone
numbers for customers in the
area including Walkertori, Mount
ForeSt, Palmerston and Wing
ham. '■ \ '
Because of the number of new
arid changed listings, H. H. p.
Johnston, Bell manager for the
region, urged customers to throw
away the old book as soori as
the.-new one arrives^ 1
“Telephone users can reduce
the time required to make a long
distance call by as much as 50
percent- by calling number, in
stead of merely telling the op
erator the name and address of
the party called”, said Mr.John
ston.“We have found that the
•personal lists customers keep in
the Blue Book have helped to
make long distance servce fast
er.-/.
r “If an up-to-date record of new
qr changed local numbers is kept
in the Blue Book, many inquir
ies to ‘Information’ will be elim
inated”.
More customers received copies
of; this year’s directory, than re
ceived last, year’s edition. The in-
crease—from 8,160 to 9,326—re
flects the growth in the number
of. telephones in service in the
territory served by ’ the ^directory.
