School's out, drive canny
In these first few days
of students' summer hol-
idays, their minds are on
letting loose, having fun,
and forgetting the books.
In this frame of mind,
they may tend to forget
some of the safety rules
instilled in them by par-
ents and teachers. Please
drive safely and watch
for these youngsters.
There will be many more
on the streets during the
next two months.
And to you students,
have a great somrner, but
please remember to play
safely. To you older stu-
dents who are in the
party mode', please
remember don't drink
and drive!; don't getin a:
vehicle with -an impaired
driver; arrange for a
designated driver before
you leave home. If you
are caught in asituation
call your, parents, an
aunt, an uncle, a grand-
parent, a friend - anyone,
but don't drink and drive,
or get in a vehicle with
someone who shouldn't
be driving, Let's all have
a safe summer..
Happy columnistsday!
To what do you associate the month
of June? The first day of summer,
Father's Day and the school holidays
would probably .be three of the most
common answers.
However, a little piece �f paper
crossed my desk recently and the sixth
month of the year has offi-
cially or unofficially 13
specially designated days
and 13 specially designat-
ed weeks. Whoa, you say
there's only four wee it
the month. Right, but those
designated weeks double
and triple up obviously.
Did you celebrate Neighborhood
Party Day, Farmers' Day, Tax, Freedom
Day? Did you recognize Fit Week,
Little League Baseball Week, Sun
Awareness Week, Environment Week,
or Teacher `Thank -You' Week?
The nearest and dearest to my heart
is Columnists' Day June 28.. Now T
wonder what some of those more
famous columnists will be doing on
Friday. How will Rosie DiManno,
Diane Francis, Barbara. Amiel,.
Fotheringham, Richard Gwyn, . and
Ellie Tesher celebrate their specially
cs'
hi
designated day? Probably by sitting at
their computer and pecking out another
column that will have their readers both
loving and hating them. If you're a reg-
, ular reader of columnists you,' like
myself, have' either said, "Right on" or
"what a pile of manure" when you've
finished reading those columns.
Writing a column on a regular basis
can be a nightmare. There are times,
while sitting at the keyboard, the
thoughts and words simply don't gel.
On Friday, this columnist is going to
try' and find the time to scan over 300
of her meagre offerings and determine
just how tall her pile of manure is!
To all my fellow columnists - try and
have a happy Friday whether you're
puffed up from ,kudos or pulling those
razor sharp barbs from your butt!
It's not a bed or roes, but it's close snit! (Pat Livingston photo)
The story behind the word
lynch vti to lynch some-
one means to kill them,,
usually by hanging, with-
out due process of law.
Lynch law is mob, law,
practiced by private indi-
viduals, not law officers,
and followed by summa-
ry execution. There are
two possible attributions
for the word lynch. The
More . usually accepted
explanation is that these
habits are named after a
planter in 'Virginia called
-Charles Lynch (1736--
96),
1736-96), who was a justice of
the peace and .presided
over illegal trials of
Tories during , the
American Revolution.
An alternative proposal
is that there was a James
Lynch who was mayor of
Galway in Irelandin the
15th century, and that it
was his behavior that
brought the word into the
language. The practice of
lynching • was popular in
the .more lawless parts of
the American West in the
19th century, and even
into the 20th century,
although it has lapsed
into disuse now.

o truth in reports - To the public * In view of
certain rumors being circulated to the effect
that the surrounding country will be shut off
from Lucknow while the street paving is under way, I
wish to state that all such reports are entirely without
foundation in fact. At all times while paving is being
laid, suitable and convenient detours will be ainrariged
and while some inconvenience will be unavoidable
everything possible will, be done to accommodate the
public. Reeve Robert Johnston:
Attend the game - To the citizens of Lucknow
and vicinity: The baseball boys have been receiving
poor support the 'last two games. The boys are now
on their way tot he top of this district. Your presence
at the next .game will show whether they continue or
not: They need your support.

vicinity branch of the Canadian Red. Cross is
joining in the campaign launched by the
Ontario Division to raise $350,00 to assist in the
work of rehabilitating stricken families in the
Windsor area, so disastrously* struck by a recent tor-
nado.
Five-day heat wave - The last five days of June gave
this district its first taste this season of withering heat,
which reached a peak on Sunday With a temperature
of 89 degrees. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and
Saturday the thermometer stood at 82, 88, 86 and 85.
The humidity associated with this first spell of hot
weather made it very oppressive. A cool wave fol-
lowed a heavy rain on Monday and temperatures
dropped to a chilly 43 degrees.
Rainfall in June as about normal - slightly over
two inches.
Haying season is in full swing this week.

devoted their time (and skill) to place plastic tile
around the top of the fence surrounding the
Lucknow ball diamond. Several players have been
injured reaching over the top of the fence in attempts
to catch fly balls.
