Home My WebLink AboutThe Lucknow Sentinel, 1987-12-16, Page 5Let's reflect on the true meaning TO Dear Editor, What is Christmas? To many people it is a time of the year when the sidewalks are bustling with busy shoppers, stores are lit up and decorated with brightly colored or- naments. It is a time for exchanging cards and gifts, Santa Claus and toys. It is a time when friends and relatives we seldom see drop in unexpectedly for a drink, gaily decorated fir trees and parties. For some an extra day that they have to go to church. Is this what Christmas is an about? This is commercialism. A time to buy and sell, to eat, drink and party, but it does not reflect the true meaning -of Christmas. Two thousand years ago in the little Village of Bethlehem, a child was born in a stable to a virgin maid. Christmas is a time to celebrate this blessed event. The birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Christmas is a time of sharing with our family and friends, a time to show our love. This need not be done with expensive gifts or drunken parties, but by giving ourselves in fellowship and being together as a family. This is the true meaning of Christmas. Therefore, let us keep the Christ in Christmas by sharing our love with each other as he did. Marc Seguin Dungannon Dear Editor; No one will deny that charity begins at home. The great challenge to our generosi- ty as Canadians is to address the fears and insecurity of those people whom we do not personally know and who have no social services to buffer them against hunger, il- lness and unemployment. In developing countries such as Mali, Mozambique, Bangladesh and Nepal, thousands of people earn less than a dollar a day and live constantly on the edge of disaster. USC Canada has been heartened by donations from old and new frienda across Canada, but postal disruptions cut into our Fall fundraising and we are still short of our campaign target of 3.2 million dollars. Every dollar counts a lot and is urgently needed. Kindly send you donation to USC Canada, 56 Sparks Street, Ottawa, K1P 5B1.

This project was a great success, we raised over $2500.00 in zone B that day. This research has been quite suc- cessful over the past years. In the 1950's, people would only live a year or two; by the late 1960s they would live 13 to 15 years and take 200 to 300 pills a day. Now the peo- ple can live into their late 20s to early 30s and take eight to 10 pills a day. In 1985 -the researchers found the gene that causes Cystic Fibrosis, a giant step in finding a cure or control of this deadly disease. Only through- caring people like yourself, will the fight for a cure for Cystic Fibrosis be won. I thank -you again, and I hope we can team up together to find a cure for C.F. in years to come. With the Christmas season fast ap- proaching, my hope for you and your families to have a very peaceful and Merry Christmas. Yours in on Zone B C.F. Chairman Gord Trecartin.
