Lucknow and District today as the Ontario Society for Crippled Children launches its 31st annual appeal.., The local campaign is spearheaded by the Lucknow and District . Lions Club who stuffed and addressed envelopes to be mailed. Campaign chairman, Ed Collyer, said that the• local objective is $150Q_and half of the amount raised in the local campaign will remain in the. fund of the Lucknow and District Crippled Children's Association. The other half of the money raised will be sent to the Ontario appeal's fund in Toronto. Last year the Lucknow and District Association bought glasses, and a hearing aid and paid the summer camp expenses for area handicapped children. If at any time the local fund requires more money to give to local children, the money can be received from the Ontario appeal fund for Crippled Children. Perhaps, many local residents do not realize that half of the money raised stays in the community to help handicapped children in 'tucknow,. Dungannon, Holyrood, and other areas in our district. When you open your Easter Seal letter do not assume that the money is going to Toronto and will never be used to help the handicapped in Lucknow and the surrounding area. Last, year's localcampaign raised $1275 and half of that remained in the Lucknow and District Crippled Child- ren's fund to be used to help the handicapped children in our area. Many of these youngsters can 'and will become active, contributing members of our community in the future because they were given the boost of confidence in themselves they needed when they were children. Unless we can help them, now, they may not get that chance. Easter Seals help parents with the cost of wheelchairs, braces, artificial limbs, camping, transportation and special treatment .. programs for their physically handicapped children. When you open your mail today and find Easter Seals; give as you can.

February 7th, 1978, Wiarton, Ontario. Dear Editor: Just a few lines about the rob that was taken from the cutter . ihi the ,Cain House driving shed 75 years ago. It belonged to Mr. W.:, S. 'MacCrostie who farmed one and a half miles east of Belfast, Ontario. Two weeks later the. Lucknow police, Mr. James Lions, saw, a cutter come in from Kinloss with the robe. - It was a nice black fur robe. It had a small pocket in the corner with a tag with W. S. MacCrostie on it. Mr. MacCrostie got his robe back. Keepup the good work. It's real interesting. here? When we were at the lake for a month every summer, Saturday night we always came up Lucknow. This was when my husband would meet so many people he knew. My younger daughter, her husband and two children and myself leave July 8 for the cottage, so will drop in and say hello to you. Kathleen MacDonald, up on the hill, was like a sister of my husband, Wilfred. She always called him her brother: My husband passed away at age 56, his brother two years later at 56` and their father was 56 when he died. Sincerely, Orma Murdoch. February 21, 1978.

I would. wish you all the best of luck with the new adventure which I. think will be wonderful. I hope 'my small donation will help a little. Wishing you all the best, I remain, James H. Jewitt, 113 Proctor St., Sarnia, Ont. 52 Edgemore Drive, Toronto, Ontario M8Y 2N3 I have been intending to get a cheque off to you, but have been very busy. I have six grandchild- ren and when either of my two daughters need a sitter, I am it. But I am out at both my daughters a lot, I have two wonderful sons-in-law. How lucky can 1- be? I noticed a week or two ago the Sentinel is $8.00 for senior citizens and I happen to be one. Put the extra $2.00 in the draw, I just might be lucky, since the draw is in Lucknow. My husband was born' and grew up in Lucknow (Wilfred G. Murdoch). He was born and raised in the big stone house, which I believe Mr. Joynt has just sold. Lucknow is as much . home to me as my formerlomeof Barrie. Our summer holidays were spent on Lake Huron, near the lighthouse. At the big reunion Lucknow lead a few years ago, several people would speak to me and say, I never knew you were frotn Lucknow. I would say I was from Barrie; their reply, but how do you know so many people or •• �•i Your heart works , harder when you're not in the garret.; Get fit — and turn the clock back. CAFitness is fun.

The name comes from the habit Peter hasof breaking arrows that are bent instead of having them straightened. Most archers straighten bent arrows because they are so expensive. Ken's next door neighbour was shooting archery and placed in a Canadian championship. He re- ceived a letter of commendation from Premier Bill Davis which Ken thought was "okay" so he took up archery too. Win competition on weekend Ken Adams and his wife, Carol, placed first in the men's division and the ladies' division, respectfully, in the . Windsor Annual Invitational Archery Championship at Windsor Univ- ersity on Sunday. This is the third year straight that Ken has taken the men's title and the second year that Carol has placed first in the women's divison. Peter Steer of Lucknow placed second for the third year in a row in the same competition. Approximately 160 archers competed in the championship. Carol started the sport because Ken was away at shoots every weekend and she decided she would like* to go along as more than a spectator. Peter's wife, Elaine, also shoots at competi- tions and she became interested' because,._Petcr was shooting. "At an archery shoot, it depends who's on that day," says Peter, "Ken and I are each other's competition and whoever is 'on wins the shoot." The two CONTINUED ON PAGE 8
