Dear Editor: The last few days 'before the Quebec Referendum are, in fact, a countdown for Canada. While there are numerous indications the "No" side will win, victory even at this late date is by no means a sure thing. Sadly, anything less than a resounding defeat of the Separatists forces at the polls will have a lasting divisive effect on our country. Like many I feel helpless. Absolutely helpless. I watch; I listen; 1 talk about the possibility of a Cana- da without Quebec. But what can I DO when I don't even get to vote? Well, if at night you chance to turn onto the Cour- sey Line just north of Lucan, you'll see what one family, our family, has done and it's as simple as a silent prayer. We've put our outside Christmas lights, those cheerful seasonal calls for peace and harmony, on for this final stretch of the referendum campaign; its our way of supporting those who do have a vote and who will act to keep Canada together. Please join us. In the four plus years we've lived here, we've always marvelled at Lucan's Christmas light show, so we know those strings of lights are ready to go. There's not much time, but if one town starts, maybe the idea will spread. If all Canada shines its light, Quebecers will know their quest is over; they are already safely home. Douglas Cassan Lucan Petition to end tax discrimination One -earner families pay signifi- cantly more in taxes than a two - earner family.... Dear Editor: M.P. Jim Silye is urging Canadian mothers who work at home raising their children, and mothers who would prefer to be at home raising their own children, to get involved in his Diaper Campaign. Mr. Silye started this campaign after being out- raged by a Parliamentary Secretary's comments that contributions made by stay-at-home parents don't constitute 'work' in the eyes of the federal Liberal government. . Th..se comments fall on the heels of a Premier's Report in Alberta that identified what so many Ca- nadian families have known for years: that one - earner families pay significantly more in taxes than a two -earner family at the same income level. Case in point: a family with two children and two parents in the paid labor force making a total of $60,000 a year pays $9,368 in tax. A family with two children and one parent working in the paid labor force and one parent working full-time at home raising the children pays $16,148 in tax. The one -earner family at the same income level pays $6,780 more in tax. Is it any wonder that although 70 per cent of Ca- nadian women (as indicated in poll after poll) want to be at home raising their children, that the tax sys- tem actually contributes to their not being able to make this choice? With this information under their belts, several politicians including Jim Dinning, Alberta's provin- cial Treasurer, Mississauga M.P., Paul Szabo, and Calgary -Centre M.P. Jim Silye are continuing their efforts to have this situation rectified and they need your support. Mr. Silye asks parents to send a diaper to Prime Minister Jean Chretien, House of Commons, Otta- wa, Ont. KIA 0A6. Be sure to enclose your name, address and signature. No postage is necessary. Mr. Chretien will get the message. Mr. Szabo is circulating a petition which calls on the House of Commons to end this tax discrimina- tion and to recognize that managing the family home and caring for children is a valuable, honora- ble profession. For copies of this petition call Mr. Szabo's office at 905-822-2211. Phone calls or letters to your M.P.P., and Ernie Eves, Ontario's Finance Minister, in support of these efforts would make an impact. Yours truly, Cheryl Stewart, Member, Kids First Parents Association Memory loss program begins in South Huron EXETER - A one -day -a -week program for people who suffer Alz- heimers and related memory losses will begin in South Huron.

The program is administered by Huron Adult Day Centre staff, gov- erned by the Huron Adult Day Cen- tre Board of Directors and or- ganized by the South Huron Com- mittee. The Friday program, which will be centered at Exeter Villa, will serve clients from the Hensall area, south to Lambton/Middlesex and east to Perth. The committee needs additional members.

Women honored CLINTON - On Tuesday, Octo- ber 17 the Huron Women Teach- ers' Association welcomed 12 new women into the teaching profession and honored I1 women teachers who had completed 25 years of ser- vice to the profession. In The Exeter area, Jean Twigg of Hensall Public School, and Dor- othy Coolman of McCurdy Public School were both entitled to re- ceive their 25 year pins and certifi- cates. Several new teachers were also inducted into the profession. Among them were Anna Corrin and Karen Schade, both of whom are currently teaching at Stephen Central School. After a period of minimal hiring by the Huron County Board of Education, the in- duction of so many new teachers was a significant revitalising event for the Federation and for the county system. A multi -media presentation fol- lowed the ceremonies to honor out- going Huron Women Teachers' As- sociation President Susan Wyatt. She has been involved in many board and federation initiatives dur- ing her two-year term of office and has been instrumental in bringing excellent programs both to the membership and to the children in the county. She has taken a position in the Music Department of Central Huron Secondary School in Clinton for one year. Vi Davidson, Director of the Fed- eration of Women Teachers' Asso- ciations of Ontario addressed the Huron Women Teachers on the top- ic of the Royal Commission on learning. She reiterated the Royal Commission's belief that teachers are "heros" who work under incred- ible odds to assist all students at multiple levels of learning. She also stressed that some of the sugges- tions of the submissions to the Roy- al Commission on Learning are rather idealized. The conservatism and back -to -the -basics attitude so prevalent in this time of economic difficulty can be backward -looking and nostalgic. Stay safe on Halloween TORONTO - When your little "monster" goes trick or treating on October 31, Stay Alert.... Stay Safe (SASS) would like to remind parents and kids to turn up their radar and heed the words of Bert and Gert, the Alert Twins, to always "stay alert... stay safe". Here are some impor- tant safety tips from Stay Alert... Stay Safe, the national streetproof- ing organization found- ed in 1987 and funded through the generosity of the Canadian Tire Child Protection Foundation. Par- ents and kids should discuss these tips to ensure a safe and happy ad- venture on Halloween night. Wear make-up instead of a mask so you can see properly! Go trick or treating with family or friends. let people know your route! An adults should check the treats you collect before you eat them! Walk - don't run, and look all ways before crossing the street - trick or treat on one side of the street, then the other side! Don't go anywhere with a stranger! Only go to homes with their lights on! If someone invites you alone into a house say "No thanks"! A flashlight will help light you way! You'll walk more easily in a short costume!
