Seven Days – One Newspaper:  Any news about Lumby was published in the Vernon Daily News until Lumby’s first newspaper was printed. The Lumby Logger is a weekly newspaper first published by N.R. “Pat” Duke in 1936.  Isabelle (Puff) Inglis was the featured writer, writing “Aunty Puff’s Column”.  The paper continued until Mr. Duke enlisted in World War II.  After the war, Charles Sadd and Harvey Howard started a paper using the same name.  Mr. Howard later became the sole publisher.
