LETTER. TO THE EDITOR
Points To Changes.
In Comurotr : - • •

The Editor '
The Lucknow Sentinel.
• In last/ week's Sentinel, I read
that a delegation-fromlocal service
organizations requested that Luck-
now .Council' call a liquor vote,
Making the point that the legal sale
of liqttor at community functinits
was needed to make them a
'profitable venture. It was stated by
spokesmen 'for these organizations
that future community service, work
'depended on these profits. This'
seemed a bit startling, though as
reported in the news Rein, most
people are aware of this already. I
have always admired the Lucknow
people for their straightforward-
ness and honesty, so it is no
surprise that they were the first to
state these facts publidly.
One of the faults of encroaching
age is the tendency to dwell upon
the "good old days" to the disgust
of those Who are so unlucky, as to be
within hearing. Generally 'the
"good old days" as I remember
them weren't all that good.
However one area that I remember
with pleasant thoughts were' the
community concert's and dances.
In the war, years. and on into the
fifties, the Red Cross and -other
groups sponsored regular dances at
which every age from 8 to 80 were
welcomed. Bars were unheard of
in those times' and of'course, use of
alcoholic beverages was illegal
outside the home, though the odd
daring soul brought his hip flask or
chanced having a case of beer in his
car. Yet for years these organiza-
tions managed' to make a profit for
some worthy cause, because people
came in droves to have a good time,
young and old' alike. •
• Going back a little farther to the,
thirties with the depression years,
few people had enough money for
the bare necessities of life, yet they
struggled to provide` recreationfor
themselves, often gathering in
'each other's homes. Perhaps a
couple of unpaid musicians' would
provide music for dancing. Most 'of.
the citizens over SO can also
remember the' concerts and plays
with all amateur .and local talent.
Again all the proceeds' were given
to some worthy cause.
Coming frOm nostalgic memories
to the realities of the seventies, we
find that community groups are
loathe to sponsor a dance or concert
because of the costs involved and
the risks of a loss rather than a
profit. So our social functions have
in 'many' cases deteriorated into
drinking parties with a, little
entertainment as an' afterthought.
Someone has referred' to our
Leos Offer Aid
In Cleanup
On. Sunday, March ° 21, the
Lucknow and District Leo Club, met
for a short meeting to finalize plans
for Presentation Night' on March'
26.

Leos challenged the LiOps to. The
Lions won 4-3. Better luck next
time.! The next meeting is on April
14th at the Town Hall at 7.30 p.m.

ing up basements Which were

of longstanding which time did not
permit when 'engaged as a general

Regarding alcoholic beverages,
there are many .people who use
them responsibly. However, our
farm forum group had our local
M.P.P.• as a guest recently. He
answered a question by stating that
most of the enormous revenue from
sales taxes on liquor, wine and beer'
is used to treat the problems we
have created for ourselves by the
excessive use of alcoholic beverag-
es. On another occasion 'a, member
of the Walkerton 0.P, P. detach-
ment spoke to our group, saying
that. Bruce County has the dubious
honour of having alcohol involve-
ment in 66% of highway accidents
in their jurisdiction. The 'average
for Ontario is 34%. The legislators
and others who promote4the use of
seat belts speak in glowing terms of
%the lives saved :when we buckle up,
yet they seldom mention that a
sober driver saves Many lives too,
and the lives he saves may be yours
and mine.
Thank you,
