They see in other countries when taxes and regulations are too much for the working people to put up with, they put an end to it with a revolution. Most politicians have not got a clue what our sport is all about, but they make these new laws and they expect their members to vote with them whether the MPs ridings want these new laws or not. Such was the case with our MP Paul Steckle, he voted against his party on this because his riding overwhelm- ingly was against these laws and because of it lost a committee position. Of course these gun laws will not change unless all gun owners join together now and fight these in the courts. Your local club finances all efforts to try and chal- lenge these idiotic laws including one right now which is going to the supreme court of Canada. Join your club and help them financially because this is a very expen- sive proposition. If you do not help us now, we will eventually lose all our guns and be run by a police state. I will end this letter with a little known historical fact. In 1935 an infamous European leader in an address to his countrymen stated: We have full gun controls in place and our streets will be the safest in the world. The leader was chancellor Adolph Hitler. JODY MOSURINJOHN President, Claybird Gun Club, Exeter Ontario Former friends and co-workers needed Dear Editor: We are asking your readers to help us locate old friends and former co-workers.

Yours truly, KEW KENNEDY Huron County Health Unit Vigil for Domestic Violence Dear Editor: Youth Uniting Communities would like it very much if you could pass the word on about the vigil that we are holding on April 20, 1999 at Market Street Park in Lucan. The vigil is titled "Lucan Remembers" and it is to honor and remember all victims of women abuse.. There is going to be a candle light vigil starting at 8:00 pm in the park with a silent march to follow. The guest speakers and speeches will be held in the park. The silent march will lead us to the United Church at 142 Main Street where there will be refreshments and gathering in the basement of the church. Everyone is very much welcome .to attend. This is organized by Youth Uniting Communities in partnership with Women's Community House and Women's Rural Resource Centre from London and Strathroy. We would like the word spread so all can attend and sup- port this cause. Thank you for your time. Sincerely YOUTH UNITING COMMUNITIES Allow Registered Nurse Practitioners more responsibility Dear Editor: Again? Emergency closed again? Well it almost hap- pened again. I have to ask myself, why is only Exeter having trouble? Has word got around that Exeter Emergency is busier than others, therefore the doctors will have to earn their generous allowance? It might be interesting to see some figures on Emergency usage of other hospitals in the area. Exeter doctors are general - Panther Profile The spring season is under- way and sports are just begin- ning 'to get competitive. Students can look forward to rugby, badminton and soccer games, as well as track and field events. On Friday, a number of South Huron students will be participating in the 30 -Hour Famine. The 30 -Hour Famine is an event run to assist World Vision Canada in their efforts to relieve famine and disaster sites and to pro- mote global education. It is an important effort the students of South Huron take to help those less fortunate. This year, 91 students are signed up - the largest number of sign-ups in the history of our famine. A number of teachers will also be help- ing over the weekend as well. Thanks to Ms. Heatherington, Ms. Golding, Ms. Park, Ms. Cator, Mr. MacLeod, and two student teachers, Mr. Froates and Mr. Judge, for volunteering. Over the six years the famine has been run- ning, over $10,000 dollars have been raised. The goal this year is $3,500 dollars. Mr. MacLeod, the organizer of the event. expects to raise well beyond this amount for the 1999 year. Thanks to all caring students and teachers who are involved. Student council elections for the 1999-2000 school year begin an Wed., April 14 and run until April 21. Throughout this week, don't be surprised to see many posters lining the walls, right up until the video dance on Wed., April 21. There are many positions that interested stu- dents can apply for. Elected positions include premier, social con- venor, athletic council rep. and the grade reps% The people running for thee positions will be campaigning throughout the week. Winners will be announced at the video dance. Appointed positions include treasurer, secre- tary, public relations, student trustee, and O.S.S.S.A./S.A.C. To obtain any of these posi- tions, students must pick up and fill out an appli- cation form from the music room. If any students have any questions about any of these positions, be sure to check out the infor- mation posters in the halls or ask any current student council members. Upcoming Events Thurs., April 8- Senior Badminton to Clinton, Girls' soccer to Central Huron, Rugby at South Huron; Fri., April 9- 30 -hour famine starting at noon; Mon., April 12- election week begins, Boys' soccer to Central Huron; Tues., April 13- Senior Badminton to Huron Perth; Wed., April 14 -Midterm reports go out KRISTIN BROOKS PANTHER PROFILE ly overworked in their practices as well as doing a share of ER work, so no blame for Emergency closures can be attached to them. Last week, one of your readers expressed her appre- ciation where a doctor was quick in diagnosis and sending her to London. Couldn't a nurse practitioner have done the same thing? It is only a question of time until there is a fatality due to Emergency not being open. I heard of one case where a patient was in great pain and since there was no doctor around, a nurse practitioner could not administer more effective med- ication - ridiculous. The medical profession has to come down to earth and change with the changing times. In the meantime, the public can do their part by not going to the hospital unless it is a real emergency. A sore throat or ear ache etc. can usually wait until the family doctor is available. Janice Cosgrove suggested that some doctors are not comfortable with emergency work. Does this mean that they want a job where they can tell a patient to take two aspirins and see me in the morning? I would have thought emergency would give a doctor valuable experience to enhance his or her career. Since Mike Harris has done an excellent job of screw- ing up Ontario's health system, perhaps Helen Johns can try doing something constructive like getting the Registered Nurse Practitioners more responsibility.
