WARREN ZINN, 528-3710 ALVIN'ROBB, 3954174 Snowmobiles cause ruckus TEDO To the Editor: During the past two or three weeks council members have been receiving complaints of snowmobiles causing distur- bances in residential areas, often late at night, and travelling over people's lawns in the village. We are asking riders to please use discretion when riding their snowmobiles. The village streets may be used to ride to and from a trail, but under no circum- stances should you ride over peoples' lawns. There is a trail open for public use, where snowmobiles may be ridden day or night, in the Bruce County Forest, located approximately two miles east of Lucknow, on the second concession of Kinloss Town- ship. Your co-operation in this matter would be appreciated. Herb Clark Fighting pensioners are needed To the Editor: Allow me to entitle my letter "The great Canadian soup" Canada Pension Plan was created twenty years ago. Provided a contributor had the right amount of working years to satisfy the conditions of Canada Pension Plan, he is, today, the recipient of $486.00 monthly. Canada Pension Plan is administered by academics and conglomerate lawyers. A group who seldom rubs elbows with work- ing people. At graduation time from university, academics and lawyers take an oath to protect and assure the well-being of their selected and matriculated" society. In other words, they pledged to look after them- selves firstly. Unfortunately, it is this very selected society of academics and lawyers which looks after all contributions to Canada Pension Plan. Twenty years ago when Canada Pension Plan was implemented, Canadians "didn't think about the average six or seven years of life left to an average pensioner. Canadians had no clue about the amount of money that was going to be funnelled .weekly to Canada Pension Plan nation- wide. And they were in the dark concern- ing what was going to be . taken out of that plan, monthly, for Canadian pensioners. Imagine the water tower of our village as a big pot. Twenty years'ago, eighteen million Can- adians, individually, started to drop a spoonful of soup, daily, into it. This with the idea of feeding five per cent of eligible pensioners. Pensioners equipped with ° a small cup. Imagine these pensioners going to the ,tap, cup in hand, to receive some soup in accordance with what they dropped into the pot. Some would receive a full cup, but the majority of them would not. Not enough soup contributions. After the first five years of soup contri- butions, and in spite of six per cent of pensioners feeding from the big pot. the pot was one third full. Five years later, the pot was two thirds full. Seven years after that thanks to a growing population and in spite of seven per cent of pensioners, the `pot of soup was full. This happened. in 1984. Time was ripe then to double the size of pensioners' cup, candid Canadians thought. This was abysmal ignorance of a ruling class mentality aware of the principle of communicating vessels. Time was right indeed, but not for the pensioners. Academics and lawyers saw their chance to obtain free soup for them- selves, for their many friends in high places, and for all Ivy League people, Canadian or not, living here or abroad, all under the oath of protecting a high society having nothing but contemp for little people; questionably educated. Two inches of soup were left in the pot. "We just borrowed your soup," the rich said. "It, is perfectly legal." "We will pay you a nominal interest, and we guarantee that we will give you your soup back, say, in fifty years from now." In 1984, when the loan was engineered by anonymous chiefs looking after the people's soup, it was calculated that little people advanced 24 billion cups of soup to the rich. Look at it this way, the rich said. "With the value of your soup, we will be able to purchase vast amounts of land onto which we will grow vegetables for your soup." And they added: "You got to understand that we will have to purchase and to own the land fully, but through us, you'll be able to buy vegetables at half-price. And if perchance we discover something under our land, you will be the first' to profit from it, at very reasonable charge, of course,. Believe us," the coaxed, "we have your interests at heart." To the ones able to think by themselves, they argued: "We will pay you back the value of your soup in 2034. In the mean- time, we would advise you people to make use of a larger spoon for your contributions of soup. The pot has to be filled a bit faster. Population is growing, but we have addi- tional problems to look after mass-produc- ed graduates now. So", fifteen .years from now, we intend to make you, little people, the . beneficiary of other marvellous pro- jects. We already forecasted that your second loan of soup will do wonders for your benefit. To cut short with the insinua- tions of scums from your group, we are pleased to announce that our second borrowing will be repaid in forty years...." I believe that eighteen million of working Canadians badly need fighting pensioners with experience, ideas, and a heart. Yours truly, A. Joe Legrand, Lucknow, Ont. UCW meeting opens with poem The Dungannon UCW meeting was held on Jan. 21 at the manse with a good attendance. The meeting was opened with a poem, Somehow not only for Christmas. Hymn 444 was sung. The devotion was taken by Tinie Logtenberg, and verses from Psalm 19, St. John 14 and Ecclesiastes 12, were read. President Nora Saunders chaired the business meeting. The minutes were read and adopted.' Helen Dawson gave the treasurer's report. She mentioned that Christmas stockings had been sent to the nursing home, and the shutins were remembered at Christmas. She added that more than 30 cards for all occasions were sent out during the year. The correspondence and thank you cards were read. Rollcail was, Money making ideas for 1986. Many good suggestions carne forward. Nora Saunders announced that the World Day of Prayer will be held at the Dungannon United Church. Collection was taken and dedicated. Nora Saunders then capably conducted the Bible study. Her topic was, From Jesus and His teachings among the Jews and Pharisees. Members separated into pairs and had to mention a good person they had known. Bessie McNee gave an interesting feature and read from Greek mythology about roses which were named after the goddess of love. Aprodite. Greeks also used the roses for perfume. In Canada, the early settlers gathered rose -hips which contained 20 times more Vitamin C than oranges. A recipe for rose -hips jam was given. She also had a story about St. Elizabeth of Hungary from the 13th century. Nora Saunders and Tinie Logtenberg performed a skit about packing a bale for the mission.
