Writer asks for preservation

Dear Editor:
The decision by the Supreme Coot ot
Ontario to forbid the Lord's Prayer in
public schools., is merely ONO& attempt
to eliminate: ainy reference to our cream%

• Imagine, though, not having the eyes to
see the splendour of nature's miracles —
a mini**, a treathtakkg sunset, a
flower, a young bird taking flight, or the
laughter in a child's eyes. Imagine being
cloaked in robes of darkness that leave
you dependent on others, that slowly
erode your dignity and ultbilitely
dampen the spark of life to a flickering
ember.

Special people
Skating Clt
Dear Pat:
I'd/like to use this space, if I may, to
inform your readers of the special people
without whose help the Lucknow
District Skating club would not have run
as well as it: did.
Firstly, I wish to. acknowledge eVerYone
who helped to support us financially: the
merchants !ho sponsored our cookbooks
and those who sold and bought them;
Margie Lougheed who worked hard to- •
ordinathig our juicecampaign; ., all the
people who bought and sold tickets. on the
draw and contributed at the door en
Achievement Night as.wen as the parents
who helped that day and 'throughout the
season; JOan and' John Black for
donating the pork, for our draw and
O'Brien's Meats and Kranetiburg's Meats
for the butchering and cutthqr and wrap-,
ping. Total fundraising this season
amounted to $3100, three-quarters of the
amount needed to pay for ice time.
I'd also like to thank the Lucknow Sen-
tinel for always having room for Skating
Club coverage. Many other Skating Clubs
have troublewith their local papersgiv-
ing them coverage.- The Sentinel did an
excellent job.
Another special group is the 'junior
coaches, who spent many hours voluntol,
ly helping the younger. skaters.
Without an Executive of willing
workers, the job of President can be
overwhelming. I'd like to thank all the
Executive members for their help, With
special mention going to Bonnie Kay as
test chairman and ice co-ordinator, and
Betty Ross as treasurer. Without their
help, the Skating Club would not have
run as smoothly.
