League, with 8 games played and only
one defeat registered against them.
The spirit of fraternity is strongly
established in Lucknow. It finds expres-
sion in lodges representing different
societies: The Masonic, the Oddfellows,
the Workmen, the Foresters (Canadian
and Independent), the Orange, The
Canadian Home Circle, and the Chosen
Friends. The membership of these
lodges is both Targe and representative.
At this point it is appropriate to speak of
an organization which occupies a unique
place in the social ife of the village - the
Swastika Club. This Club was organized
in 1909 by a number of young men who
realized the need of some place where
the men of the village and .others who
came to town as comparative strangers
could meet and enjoy themselves in a
social and proper manner. The purposes
of the Club, as outlined in its consti-
tution , are "to promote among its
members a feeling of good fellowship,
to provide amusements for them, and to
encourage athletics". In furtherance of
these purposes various forms of enter-
tainment along musical, literary and
athletic lines are provided from time to
time; a number of "At Homes" have
been given; and the Club has in
contemplation for the coming winter a
course of lectures to be given by the
most Capable men obtainable locally
and elsewhere. The Swastika Club is
strictly undenominational in character.
It numbers now about fifty members,
representing men of various lines of
business, and of all shades of opinion.
Its quarters in the Beaver Block are a
revelation of comfort and have been
pronounced by pleased visitors un-
equalled in that particular.
Lucknow as a business place posses-
ses the advantage of being centrally
located in a rich farming district. Its
trade territory is an unusually extensive
one. Annually, large quantities of grain,
apples, live stock, and general farm
produce are shipped from the G.T.R.
station; and the demand for farm and
household requirements is a constant
one. That demand is met by men - old
established merchants, some of them -
who, as a class, do much to sustain and
extend the reputation of the village.
Their stores and business premises are
second to none as found in places of
equal or even greater size.
In the selling of farm implements and
machinery alone, four agencies, trans-
acting each a large colume of business,
are engaged. Manufactures are repres-
ented by three saw mills, a flour mill, a
woolen mill, an apple evaporator, and
the Lucknow Furniture Factory. Fin-
ancial currents are directed largely by
branches of the Molson's Bank and the
Bank of Hamilton.
Lucknow has clean streets, healthy
dwelling houses, a good electric light
service, an efficient water works
system. Apart from the moral and
educational influences now at work.
