The sod was turned Mon-
day afternoon for the new

tive store and warehouse to
be built on Huron County
Road 1, south of Lucknow,
across from Helm Welding.

pleted ifor opening in -Nov-

operative Board of Directors,

sod -turning ceremony.
The Lucknow Co-op Board
of Directors, Albert Taylor,
Doug Martyn, Bob Irwin,
Merle Gunby and Bill Scott
and Co-op manager, Nelson
Hill, Stu Kreller, job super-
intendent; Kirk Freiter,
U.C.O. construction super-
visor; Bob Hladki, U.C.O.,
senior project manager and
Warren Zinn, reeve of Ash-
field, attended the sod -turn-
ing.
The new 60 x 160 foot
facility will house a store,
he:.ted warehouse, another
unheated warehouse, offices
and an outdoor garden cen-
tre.
The new building will
increasee the efficiency of
operating the Lucknow Co-
operative because of the
expanded store space which
will be 3,600 square feet
whereas, the present store
on the main street, has less
than 1,000 square feet. The
display area in the new store
will be sufficient so that
products will not have to be
stored in an area where the
customer cannot find them,
as they are stored in the
basement at the° present
store. By the expanded store
and warehouse, all of the
farm supplies, hardware,
seed and chemicals can be
kept at one point. There will
be no need for three different

tive now requires.
The increased office space
will mean adequate space for
the ' accounting staff with
privacy for the manager and
patrons, not now available.
It is easier to work up
enthusiasm for day-to-day
activities of the business in
new, efficient facilities said
Nelson Hill, manager of the

Farmers' market
ened Saturday
The Lucknow Farmers
Market opened Saturday
morning and the turnout for
the first morning indicated
the market may go over well.
The largest number of
patrons at one time attended
•between 8.30 and 9.00 and
within the first hour the 20•
loaves of home baked bread
brought by one vendor were
gone.
Vendors sold fresh farm
eggs, fresh rhubarb, maple
syrup, homebaked tarts and
cookies, house plants, hand
made quilts, hand made
raggedy ann dolls, hand-
terafted leather goods, hand
worked afghans and pillows,
and macrame pot hangers.
Tony .McQuailo.Lth_e_Mar-
ket committee said that some
of the patrons were potential
vendors who had come to
look over the Market and
decide whether to rent a stall
to sell their goods.
Market patrons asked
when the garden vegetables
would be ready and com-
mented that they do not plant
their own garden, but still
enjoy fresh vegetables, if
they can buy them. Several
requested fresh strawberries
and plan to return when they
are ready for sale.
One _ carload - of patrons -
were passing through, stop-
ped at the Market to ask how
long it would be open. When
they learned it was open until
noon, they went for a cup of
coffee and returned to buy.
One vendor sold more of
her hand made articles in the
one morning at, the Market,
than she had -sold in two days
at a craft show in the area.
Kingsbridge C.W.L.
launched campaign..
to ban books
The controversy over the
banning of three English
literature textbooks from the
secondary school book lists in
Huron County started when a
group of parents from Kings-
bridge, who considered the
books blasphemous .and ob-
scene, initiated a campaign
of
to have them banned.
The Kingsbridge Catholic
Women's League brought a
letter writing campaign to
bear on the Huron County
Board of Education in April
to have the three "objection-
able" novels removed from
the list of high school English

paign to have' the novels

the audience to settle down
and listen to their hearts as

The novels - Catcher in the
Rye by J. D. Salinger, The

board trustees, members of

iament, township councils,
