Nut that it told me anything new, but i1 did remind me how important love is in all our lives. The author commences, "If you want to die, stay depressed, if you want to survive. learn to -love " She adds that the one enhancing force in the world is love, while the most destructive is despair. All of us want to be loved. to be cherished. Many people are starved for love and try to fill the craving by watching endless numbers of films about happy and unhappy love stories, and listen to hundreds of trashy love songs. Vet. although everyone thinks love is important. hardly anyone believes there is anything that needs to be learned about it. Not so, says Erich Fromm, world famous psychoanalyst. Love is an art, he say s, and as with learning any other form, be it music, painting. Post office helps Santa Post Office employees in the more than 400 post offices in Huron Division southwestern Ontario) are once again busy in an annual labour of love - helping Santa Claus with his Christmas correspondence. This near. Canada Post expects to handle letters from more than 50 thousand girls and boys (and a few adults) in the area on behalf of the jolly old fellow. Canada Post has helped Santa answer more than one and a half million letters since the Santa Letter Program was inaugurated on a cross- country basis in 1982. The program was meant to enhance local, in- dividual efforts that had been going on for years, and to give children in many parts of the country inopportu- nity to get a letter from St. Nick for the first time. Toward that end, replies have been prepared in several languages (in ad- dition to English and French) in- cluding Polish, Portuguese, Viet- namese, Dutch and Chinese. When postal officials learned that several children attending a school for the blind in Brantford had written to San- ta, replies were prepared and sent back in braille. For the most part, letters to Santa are culled from the mail stream, although several post Offices have set up a box especially- for Santa's mail in the lobby. In 18 cities and towns in Huron Division, letter carriers mar- ching in local Santa Claus parades are collecting thousands of letters from the small fry along the parade route. For their part. children wishing to write to St. Nick are asked to be sure to include a return address (and postal code) and to be sure to get their letters in no later than Dec. 13 (to en- sure Santa's reply gets hack to them before Dec. 25! ). Santa's address is: Santa Claus, North Pole.

But. whereas peo- ple will hold nothing back to learn the mastery of these other arts, most peo- ple very rarely try to learn the art of love, despite the deep seated need for it. In our society, we will expend great looked atter them, or if we have destroyed their own self respect by our constant criticism. On the other hand, we can pronounce loudly that we love our children but if our actions don't show it, we're apt to get the same results as the woman who tells everyone she "lust loves plants," and It Seems to me... amounts of energy and time to team how to achieve sures, prestige, money and power, but we will expend nothing to learn the art of loving. Yet, love is the most important force in the lives of all of us. Oh, we will go out and seek love. and even if we're lucky enough to find it, we often don't know how to keep it. Our divorce records are proof of that. Our attitude is "Loves me and I will love you in return" and we play a kind of desperate game of blind man's bluff...each with our own little bucket, empty and waiting to be filled with love, but with no love of our own to pour out into some one else's bucket. The big thing about love is that we can't love anyone else until we love ourselves. "Love .thy neighbour as thyself!" commands the Bible. imply- ing that respect for one's own integri- ty, love and understanding cannot he separated from respect, love and understanding for another person. The love for my own self is in- separably connected with the love I have for another individual. Being loved by a happy person who genuine- ly loves himself/herself is the best thing that can happen to any of us! We cannot demand love. We can say. "Love me, I'm your father." but our expectations of being loved back will not be met if we have heaped guilt upon our children by constantly reminding them how 'unselfishly' we bv Gwyn Whilsmith then doesn't water them. As Ms. Salway says in her column, the time to love is now. Death doesn't respect age, so don't wait until the crops are off, for Christmas, or until your ship comes in. Why is it, though, we're often so reticent to tell people we love them'' It's an age where we talk to people whirling around in outer space, but we can't say, "I love you." One poor woman said, "I know my husband can be tender, gentle and loving. 1 know because he talks that way to the dog!" Funny, but sad. So, today, hug your wife. Kiss your husband. Thank your waitress.
