Easter Seals .will be received in the
mail by the residents of. 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.

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.

Orma Murdoch.

Dear Sirs,
Having been born in Lucknow
and spent my boyhood years
around there I still have a warm
spot in my heart and go back each
year for a couple of days. 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,

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

archers..

last summer created their own
archery club in London, Broken
Arrow Archers.
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
