What is the official view
ofAnglican Church?
:Dear editor,
A friend called me on Sunday, June 27, insisting that
I turn my television to, Channel 57. There was such a
sense of urgency to his voice, that I immediately' feared
the worst. Had war broken out in Kosovo? Had the
entire State of California slid in .to the Pacific Ocean?
The first thing that stared out form the screen was a
nearly naked posterior. In the background was a float
carrying a message about the joys of being gay or les-
bian. It was the Gay Pride Parade form Toronto, and
was it pathetic. It smacked of a small town Santa Claus
Parade with no snow, but lots of bare buttocks and
breasts. It was all quite tasteless. ... .
Guests of honour at the parade included a couple, of
well known Liberals. A lot of their supporters must be
asking themselves just why Allan Rock and Dalton
Mcbuinty would want to be seen in such a raucous
-1 7display of non-conformance.
At one point, a group of people who carried signs
:that identified them as "Anglicans in support of gays
and lesbians" Were on camera for an extended period.
They laughed and: cheered their support for the homo-
sexual cause.
The Anglican Church of Canada is facing bankruptcy
:through lawsuits brought about by charges of homo-
sexuality in the church. With that I mind, how appro-
priate is it .for Anglicans to celebrate the gay and les.
bian cause? What is the official view of the Anglican
Church towards these people who are in effect sup-
porting those who threaten the very exdstence of their

Big shoes to fihl-
Dear
Editor:
Do you, as residents of Huron County, realize what a
wonderful network is available to us in need of home
care? Immediately upon your release from hospital,
Community Care Access for Huron, located in the sec-
. ondary school in Clinton, will approach you to find
special needs. Frog competent in -borne care to sup-
plying hospital beds, walkers, commodes or whatever
will help make life easier for you and the sick member
of your family, they are only a phone call away. These
people are kind and efficient and often know what you
require before you do yourself.
Did you know that after many years of proficient car-
ing, the V.O.N. nurses headed by Janice Hayter -Oke
and Mary Morley, have been replaced by a new orga-
nization? St. Elizabeth's, we hope you are able to con-
tinue the wonderful care we have become accustomed
to. You have mighty big shoes to fill. -
A grateful recipient,
MARY PAVKFJE, Centralia
Dear Editor:
Travelling in southwestern Ontario on the weekend
of June 27-28 we found an ongoing annoying situation
with the price of gasoline. It seems we are penalized
living in Exeter and most of Huron County, our aver-
age price per litre of gasoline 57.7c. In Hamilton the
price of gasoline is 53.1 per litre. On Hwy. 400, 40
kms. north of 401, the price at an Esso station 52.9 per
litre.
Generally the blame is put on delivery charges. Why?
It -Is much closer if the gasoline is coming from Sarnia
to Exeter than Sarnia to Hamilton or Toronto. Holiday
weekends also seem to have an effect on prices of
gasoline. is this because of holiday pay for drivers who
work holiday weekends?
