(My favourite multi -millionaires are the super -rich ones! ) I don't like to be placed in a dilemma like the one that Fred, Maclean's and their accomplices have in store for me: "If he fails to reply, Peter Hessel will be the first to forfeit ten million dollars to an alternate winner!" And Fredgoeson- in his persuasive style: "Will it be you who claims this historic grand prize - or some_ unknown person picked at ran- dom? Please don't risk putting ten million dollars into the hands of some stranger! - I don't like taking that kind of risk, and maybe the easiest way to deal with the problem would have been to order a couple of magazines and be done with it. Maybe by now. I would have had my cheque, and boy! could I dp things with that kind of money. I think the readers, subscribers, advertisers, employees and shareholders of these publications have a right to know with what methods their marketing experts are trying to bluff their way into the homes of Canadians. I for one am appall- ed and disgusted. I find this kind of salesmanship unworthy and unethical. I am sure that a'bunch of lawyers have figured out that no actual laws are broken by this promotion. But a corporation must be awfully greedy to let its name be dragged through this mud. Another question occurred to me: Isn't the federal government subsidizing Canadian magazines? And is that how government grants are used? I hazard to guess that the package I received cost a bundle to pro- duce. A bundle of whose money? And in the unlikely event that anyone should really win ten million dollars, where would that money come from? From Fred C. Shotwell? From Macleans? Or from the government? Maybe I'm all wrong. Maybe it's all perfectly legitimate. Maybe they had really picked my name, and I blew 11 My guess is that I'll never know. Huron Apothecary Ltd J T Wil SON PHARMACIST PHONE 235-1982 440 MAIN ST .

WILLIAM ROHDE The third Sunday in Lent church service was conducted by the minister Rev.Robert Matheson. Rev. Matheson told the children's story en- • titled "I can see clearly now". The scripture lesson was read from Ex- odus 17:3-7, Romans: 8:1-5, John 4:5-42. The choir sang a number assistedby the congregation. The sermon was entitled "In this world is darkness". Spring is usually a dreary time of year. We watch white snow turn to ever deeper shades of grey. And then the snow slowly melts into muddy puddles and creates a texture of clay which sticks to everything - especial- ly the boots of young children just before,coming into the house for a snack or meal ( just after someone has -cleaned and waxed the kitchen floor, of course! ). Tfie season of Lent comes at the same time of year and can be described at the 'down side' of the church year. During Lent we trace Jesus'path -through the wilderness of our making - the wilderness of human frailty. temptation, and failure. We, like the followers of Moses in the Exodus ex- perience, grumble about our lives and -the_grejtslays'-we have to endure - Kut what of Jesus - what does He.en- dure for our sake. • Perhaps it is fortunate we have an e<3rtyspring this year. lthelps-tis see beyond the cross experience. We see- the greying -black snow turning what has been under it to green again. There is life after death in God's scheme of events. Jesus offered the • woman the the well 'Living Water'. 'That Living Water is there for all generations. Are we,- like the Satnaritan townspeople, prepared to recognize what is offered to all of us through that Living Water of the Kingdotn of God?
