Meeting symbolic gesture The gathering of world religious leaders in Assissi, Italy last week was a. symbolic gesture that has been too long in coming. Religions profess peace and the. brotherhood of man, yet wars and killings continue worldwide either in the name'of God or a certain faith as the excuse for their actions. The gathering of world religious leaders will, of course, not end the estimated score of wars going on in the world today. However, it mightht cause some warriors to lay down their arms now, and for others to begin to question the quality of faith that uses death and destruction as its instruments. Friar Nicola Giandomenico, vicar of the Sacro Convento where the • prayer gathering 'was held, commented, "Peace is a long process, and this is just the start of that process. . He also felt the openingof dialogue between world religious leaders may be one of the most significant aspects of the meeting,: "We do see in our world that we are isolated, we don't talk too much, we don't. meet, we are afraid of others."' • For so many. of us who look towards, our spiritual leaders for exam- ple, let us pray this 'meeting of Christians, Jews, Moslums, Buddhists, • Hindus, Sikhs, North. American Indians, and many other faiths, was one •of sincere hope for a peaceful future. The meeting was not the solution to war, but•maybe it Was a beginn- ing of 'hope for a solution. - • Write a letter to the Editor - Port Elgin Beacon Times . � .Got 'em, need; 'em .. November, as much as we hate to think of it as the month were the winter season usual descends upon us, it also represents the beginning of a much bet- ter season, - the hockey season. • Yup, it's that time of the year again. This year, the 1Vlaple Leafs are doing something they're not usually noted for - that's winning, and the Lucknow "Forum" (as some refer to it) is a hive of activity again, and if you'll notice on the shelves of your favorite general store, there's something else which goes hand-in-hand with the hockey season hockey cards. Yes, . hockey cards — those rec- tangular little gems with the smiling hockey stars adorning the front. It brings back memories of hockey season's past, returning from . a hard day at public school, stopping in at the corner store to• spend your last 20 cents an a couple of packs of hockey cards. Upon leaving the store, the denizens of other hockey card' collectors would descend on you like a pack of wolves saying "Who do you got, who do you got? I'll trade you a Jacques Plante for to Norm Ullman! After everybody had their quota of new hockey purchases for the day, it was time to get down to some serious business - the wheeling and dealing associated 'with having a card collec- tion. In this case, everyone would take someone else's cards and start right in.. ALAN with the ritual of the card players. "Got 'em, got 'em, got 'em, need 'em, need 'em, got 'em, got 'em, hey, you got Davie Keon, wanna trade? got 'em, got 'em...." For me, back then, there was only one team worth the trouble of collecting - the Toronto Maple Leafs. With every trip to the corner store, you secretly crossed your fingers and hoped you got a Leaf in the pack. Besides, Leaf "doubles" were worth their weight in gold as some people would trade up- wards of 10 cards in order' to get one of the. Leafs like Rickie Ley, Brian Glen- -• nie, Errol Thompson, Doug Favell and, if you were lucky, Davie Keon and Norm Ullman. Somehow, I think the whole sport of hockey card collecting has somehow fallen by the wayside. It might be there's too many teams and too many players to collect, or kids nowadays are more interested in, collecting those WWF wrestling cards. But, when I was a little kid, there was nothing like col- lecting hockey cards. And the gum wasn't too bad either! fin Debbie Rintoul, of RR2 Lucknow, was the winner of the Murray Elston Award for being the.

Ewart Cameron posted a letter to his father, which will be of interest to our many readers who have sons, brothers and friends with the battalion. ' After the introductory pargraph it reads: The Battalion left London at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 14, after a trip full of in- terest and education to all, arrived in flalifax the following Tuesday at 6 a.m. we saw the province of Ontario at its best, and comparing it with that which we after- wards passed through, impressed me with. the fact that old Ontario was rightly deser- ving the name of the "Banner Province." At six o'clock Sunday we left Montreal •ria Inter..colonial Railway and travelled through lower Quebec by the lower St. Lawrence route. Quebec,the oldest pro- vince in the Dominion, seemed to be the most backward. The farms and methods of agriculture of French Canadians are 25 years behind that of Ontario. The long, narrow farms with their low -set,. whitewashed buildings were of particular interest to the Bruce boys after the broad acres which many of them have left behind. , We reached Halifax early in the morning and...that afternoon we left4he train and embarked bn the Metagama and pulled out intothe harbouranchored where we until .. Wednesday at 5 o'clock, when we sailed. As we passed throughthe harbour we Met the great• liner, the Mauretania, the sister ship of the Lusitania. We were • notified that the new Governor-General and his wife, the Duke and Duchess of "Devonshire were on board. Immediately,. the bands were brought, out and focussed on the big ship. When they were discer- nable a loud cheer broke forth and the bands played "0 Canada," When we land. in Liverpool 1 shall write you a better account of the last four days on the 'Atlantic and take it from me, they were real ones, and we shall be glad when we Teach Liverpool tonight, 50 years ago November 12,1926 Had tires filled with nails M While Hallowe'en seemed to pass off quietly in this vicinity, it afforded the opportunity for pulling off at least one mighty mean trick on a• Kinloss widow, The affair has been reported to the police, and suspicions are held as to who pettformed the serious offence. Mrs. A Hodgins of Concession 10, Kinloss was the victim of the prank, that, rained one automobile tire and damaged four others, that required a great deal of repair work before put in running order. be g Sunday .morning' it was discovered that the four tires and the spare on the car had had a liberal supply of nails driven into them, and a five inch slash put in one of ° them which ruined it. 25 years ago November 15, 1961 Skeleton found In Kinloss . A skeleton unearthed on the farm of Tom Moffat, Con- cession 8, Kinloss, east of Holyrood, is believed to be that of a male Indian and is over 100 years old.
