The week previous Peter and his wife Elaine both placed fourth for all of Canada in their respectiie divisions at the Canadian National Championships. The former. Lucknow couple, Members of both The Ontario Archers Association and The Federation , of Canadian Archers, competed in some thirty-five tourn- aments during the past twelve months across Ontario and North- ern U.S.A. Peter is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Philip Steer of Kinloss By Marian Zinn More than $20,000 worth of books were missing from the libraries of our five secondary schools last year. Broken down, they are as 'follows: Clinton's Central Huron - $6,240; Exeter's South Huron District High School - $5,264;'Goderich District Colleg- iate Institute - $2,080; Seaforth High School - $1,408; F. E. Madill Secondary School - $5,482. The F. E. Madill S.S. losses in 1974-75 were $4,750 and the ratio would be the same at the other 4 schools. Based on its enrolment, F. E. Madill S.S. will receive $5,100 for new library books in 1977-78. This amount will not even replace the books which have not been returned for one year. Many times students take home books and forget about them; sometimes they are misplaced only to turn up later but are not returned to the school. Some students are under the impression the board has lots of money - so what's the difference, but actually it is not only the taxpayer who is being robbed, but if a single copy of a $20.00 to $30.00 specialized book is missing, other students do not have the chance to do research or read the book because it is no longer in the Nobles Honoured Prior To Leaving For Swift Current SOUTH KINLOSS NEWS A farewell luncheon was held on Sunday after church for Rev. and Mrs. Glenn Noble and Leslie, who are leaving for Swift Current. The address was read by Donald Maclntyre and Ira Dickie presented them with a beautiful living room clock. Both Rev. and Mrs. Noble replied expressing their thanks. Mr. and Mrs. Noble will be missed in our community as both were ready to help out at any time and were friends to each and every one of us. We wish them all the best in their work in Swift Current. 'and Elaine is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Cook of Lucknow. Peter became interested in archery for bowhunting reasons, but soon switched to target archery. In his first year of competitive shooting he is one of only a handful of barebow archers to reach the Expert A category. Not to be outdone, Elaine has won many honours in the female division. Recently the couple helped form a new archery club in London, named Broken Arrow Archers. Peter, along with team mates Ken and Carol Adams and Carl DeWilde, have become known as the No. 1 team in Canada, both library. Spring is just around the corner, we hope, and with that spring housecleaning. I am making an earnest plea to all mothers who have children, and who have had children in. our secondary schools for the past eight years, to ,please go through closets, draWers, corn- ers, etc. for these books. There will be no questions asked, no fines levied. Put the books in paper bags, leave them at school bus depots or take them back to the schools. If books keep disappear- ing at the same rate, the Board will have to install scanners at each library at a cost of $6,000 to $8,000 each. Dorothy Williams, Clinton and I attended •a conference on Commun- ity Education in Niagara Falls rec- ently, in which principals and co- ordinators spoke of the programs they had initiated in both element- ary and secondary schools in large cities and rural areas.

Carol won the Gold for the ladies at both the Canadian and Ontario Champion- ships. Carl and Ken were silver and bronze medal winners at the Nationals.

Wouldn't that be wonderful? I think of that trip as a dream that could come true, if not this year, then maybe later on. How I'd enjoy meeting you all, all my new friends! Then I want you to know that you're all becoming famous in Ulster! Recently, the B.B.C. asked me for material for short broad- casts on topics of my own choice. Never one to dodge a challenge, I submitted various suggestions and one completed script under the title "Letters To Your Friends", telling of the joy that' letter writing has brought to me through all the \y/ 14. in if vf v Lions Rooster Is Uninvited Rose Si. ,.Guest When Jde Agnew, 1st vice president of Lucknow and District Lions Club, filled in for president Stu Reavie who was vacationing during the last meeting of Lucknow Lions, he went 'home with more than he'd bargained on. Stu hadn't told Joe of the extras that went with the president's job and that he'd be eligible to take a' certain chick home with him after the meeting. Visiting members from, the Zurich Lions Club, attended the Lucknow meeting and had with them the well covered chick for vice president Joe. The surprise package, when unveiled, proved to be the notor- ious Lions rooster who greeted his arrival in Lucknow with a loud crow and immediately formed an attach- ment to Joe. The rooster surprise package had its beginning at the Ilderton club and has made its home with a dozen or more clubs in the zone since the beginning. Joe Agnew made the rooster welcome on Rose Street for a time, but this rooster is a rambling man and it wasn't long before he was anxious to make his next official Lions visitation. yVylnyVVVVVy Sells Farm Missing Books Are Costly Item, Suggest Check Of Homes During Spring Housecleaning Letter To The Editor Walter "Perky" Arnold has sold his farm wn the 9th concession of West Wawanosh and will move to Lucknow.

I finished with the fascinating story of how I came in contact 'with the Lucknow Sentinel and through its columns, with so many of your readers. The B.B.C. approved at once, inviting me dowli for the recording, and the broad- cast went out over the' air on January 3rd, most successfully, I'm glad to say, with audiences still showing their appreciation by post and telephone even yet. I would really like to do much more of this sort of work, if only I had more time. But I'm writing a book. Did I tell you?
