The Rambler's back from It & R Succession planning
Can you believe it?
Only four weeks until the
kids go back to school!
Already post secondary
students are gearing up
for another, or their first,
year away from home.
So, where did the sum-
mer go? •
Those longer hours 'of
daylight are . already
dwindling; my flowers
are starting toindicate
they are the downhill run
of blooming; the
evenings cool down
quickly - so many indica-
tions that fall is
approaching but many of
us are still waiting for
weather we associate
with summer.
Enjoyed a couple of
weeks holiday in July
and 1 know you enjoyed
the slant put on your
weekly paper by my fill
in Jennifer. It sure is nice
to be able to walk out and
know such a competent
person was looking after
my end of things.
Everything wasgoing
just a wee bit too
smoothly, and 1 really
shouldn't have been sur-
prised when on my third
day back - and a produc-
tion day .at -that - all
broke loose! Mama
said there'd be days like
that!
Friday started out
rather hectic. It was side-
walk sale and craft festi-
val days.. We had big
plans for the sidewalk in
front of our office, but
when the gremlins got
loose inside, everything
changed.
My computer decided
to have a mind of its own
resulting in two and half
hours down time. In this
midst of pulling my hair
out of my head, the rear
window in my car
exploded into a million
pieces: All this before
noon hour!
The knot in my stom-
ach was growing quickly.
I got to .the point where I
was scared to go out on
the street for fear I'd be
hit by a car;
Preparing the camera
for my freelancer that
evening, I discovered that
a. new battery that had
never been used was
dead! Panic again!
And I always ques-
tioned that saying - bad
things come in threes. No
more!
Lucknow was the
place to be on the week-
end. There was the craft
festival, sidewalk sale
and moonlight madness,
the lip sync, Carl Kees
and company, and the
annual fiddlers jamboree.
And who says nothing
ever happens in small
towns?
This replica of •a
Victorian adult toy, on
display .in .front of
From Our Heart, drew
a lot of attention. The
hor" ses, made out of
solid basswood, were.
carved by an English-
man who had a"shopin
St. Jacobs. He used real,
horse hair 'on' the
manes. The 'toy' moves
by human power when
the driver pulls the
reins, making the hors-
es go up and down, and
steers with thefeet. It is
now owned by Dawn
and Phil Mongillo
Amber Hackett and
Vicky Murray donned
some -:fancy wear from
the shop to pose for the
picture. (Livingston

for organizations
is an important
process to follow
The cycle of Organiza-
tional
rganizetional life move toward
a change in leadership
and the transition of
responsibility from cur-
rent officers to new. The
manner of passing the
gavel, the minutes, or the
financial records is no
less crucial than the
exchange of the baton
between runners on a
relay. team. The process
and timing must be done
skillfully so that the
responsibility for the
next lap is clearly trans-
ferred. 'Then the cycle
begins again. '
Whether there is a
plan to develop new
leaders or tolet it "just
happen" may be .pretty
well established within
your organization. On the
other hand, maybe no
one ever, thought about it.
Successful businesses do
not let new leadership
"just happen"; they can't'
afford to. Regardless of
the position, volunteer
leader or business leader,
all personal development
comes from experience.
Make your group's ._
leader development a
planned experience.
Just as members come
and go ii the continuing
life of an organization,
officers are chosen from
among them to carry out
the various designated
roles. Members are pre-
pared for future leader-
ship responsibility by the
quality and frequency of
their group interactions;
at meetings; during dis-
cussions; awhile doing
. committee work; and
while at play. The more
open, and varied the
experiences you provide,
the More likely it is that
leadership qualities will
develop. Providing work-
shops,.
orkshops,. retreats, and guest
speakers on leadership
development . topics' will
add to the practical expe-
rience gained in a volun-
teer organization.
There are over 30 fact -
sheets on leadership and -
organizational develop-
ment topics available
from °'the Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture,
Food and Rural Affairs.

busy section of road - The section of swamp
road and the hills to the west of ,town have
been for the past two weeks the scene, of great
activity. The steam shovel which did the, street exca-
vating in Lucknow has been steadily biting into the
hilland loading ;the.clay onto the tram of dump wag-
ons which carry it down to the swamp • section, bring-
ing .this part of the road, up to the standard of a
provincial highway.

.improved park drainage - Improved
drainage of the Caledonian Park was asked of
the village council at their August meeting. ,
Mr.. S.E. Robertsonsngested that the 10 -inch tile
drain'.that• runs, across the park.. to the open ditch, be
lifted, repaired and. deepened. The shallowness of the
present drain, it was pointed out, was necessary at the
tithe it was, installed clue to the dam at the Carding
Mill' which no longer exits.'"
Newsprint cost 1I The fact that newsprint rint costs
p p
have more than doubled since 1938 - up 68 per cent,
ii fact - is reason enough for an increase in the sub-
scription price of The Sentinel.
Pipe Band well received , Lucknow Pipe Band,
14 strong, were in Port Elgin on Sunday where they
presented band concerts in the afternoon and evening
to large and appreciative audiences, who contributed
well over $10p when the hat was passed.
