retie,' to
the Editor
Dean Sir:
In his article . "Where is,
Peace' " the Rev. G. L. Royal
leaves out the most important
part and that is why do we not
have peace?
We .,scan trace this lack •of
peace back to 1914, When World
War 1 broke out. As an official
of Axford University said, "The
first „World War marked a far
greater change in history (than
did the second World, War); it
closed a long era of general
peace and began a new: age of
violence". This violence we can
see to this day in the unrest
among the students and plant
workers.
Now for the reason for this
age of viojence."When Jesus was
on earth he gave man a special
prayer to say, the Lord's prayer.
Everyone knows what it says. A
part of it reads, "Thy Kingdon
Come". Well in 1914 that
Kingdom in heaven did arrive
and with it war in heaven, as we
can read in Rev; 12 verses 7-12.
With Satan losing this in heaven,
he was cast down to earth to
bring woes to man. Also- in Rev;
6 we read of seals being opened
and in verse 4 it states a fiery
colored horse carne forth and
the one seated upon it was
granted to take peace away from,
the earth.
This one seated on the horse
is Jesus and Satan, being beaten
in the heavenly war and cast
down to earth, this peace has
been . taken away' from man. The
mat of chapter 6 with the
opening of the seals goes on to
explain the reasons for food
shortage and sickness,
Matthew chapter 24 tells us
what to look for to prove that!
this Kingdom► of God' had been
set up, and soon now- the peace
that man is looking and praying
for will soon. be Frere when
Jehovah God puts a stop to this
violence with the battle of
Armageddon. So we can see
from a study of the Bible, which
we have all been taught is the
Word of God, that man cannot
bring peace to this world. It 'is
not in him. for Satan is much
stronger than mere nian. , Only
God can give us peace.
In 2 Timothy we read of how
people will be at this time of the
end. We hear today much about
God being dead. Well -to those
who say this, He is, for they
never knew or know him. But
scion. now they are going to find
out that" he _lives and is very,
much alive. .
Yours truly

the annual dinner meeting of the

Describing his visit to Huron
"like conjng home" Hon.
Robert Stiinbury, Minister in
charge of citizenship and
information Canada who was
guest at the meeting discussed
the. difficult times in which
Canadians found themselves.
Mr. Stanbury was born in
Exeter and spent his early years
there where his father practised
law.
Out of the country when the
war measures act was invoked by
parliament at the request of
Quebec, Mr. Stanbury said it was
difficult to appreciate the extent
to which he found the country
to be changed in a few days.
•
Emphasizing that there was
no comparison between the free
action taken by parliament and
similar action in a totalitarian
state he said there was no
alternative to the adoptionof
the Act. In the emergency there
was no time to draft and adopt
alternative legislation. `
Referring to the difficulties in
Quebec, the speaker expressed
the hope that nothing " that
happens as the• result of a small
group of terrorists will ever
discourage those of us in the rest
of Canada from' making changes
in Canadian __ society and._.
acknowledging the importance
df that province which he
described as "a great part of our
country".

Press questions
not on agenda
BYSHIRLEY J. KELLER
The question period • at
Monday evening's board of
education meeting in Clinton
.was much shorter than usual,
dee to the fact that members
were allowed five minutes to
write their questions on paper
and hand them to the
administrative staff.
It is understood that the
administrative staff will provide
individual • answers to the
questions as .soon after the
meeting as the complete answer
is known. The questions and
answers will then be typed up
and contained in the `back-up'
material for the next meeting.
Du ing the question period,
Chairman John Lavis told the
press that its petition to have a
five minute oral question period
allotted to them had not yet
been put on the agenda with a
recommendation concerning it
from the Director of Education.
Mr. Lavis termed this an error.
Mr. Cochrane told the board
it had not been an.error, but he
agreed to ' include a
recommendation on the agenda
for the next meeting. -

Two Yeirs in Retrospect'
is name of board book
• BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER
A booklet has been prepared
by the administration of the
Huron County Board of
Education entitled "Two Years
In Retrospect". . The compact
handbook comprises a wealth of
condensed rePorts designed to
be of special assistance to board
of education members . at
upcoming nomination meetings.
The issue was well received by
board ' members. Vice-chairman
even went so far as to suggest
that the new board should
receive a similar ' editipn
following the next two -years of
operation.
Director of education John
Cochrane admitted the
publication had been beneficial
to his staff as Well as a way of a
resume of activities and said the
kproject would likely become a
ritual at . the end of each
two-year term of office • for
board members.
There were many i s of
interest to board mem rs and
ratepayers in the booklet
including the - answer to
Chairman John Lavis' question
regarding the savings realized by
tendering for caretaking
supplies.
The report showed that, based
on previous prices, the—board
would have spent $40,000 for
caretaking supplies such as
waxes, 'sealers, detergents,
cleaning and polishing pads,
soaps, brooms, mops, brushes,
etc., across the county. They
tendered prices were about
$25,000 — or a saving of about
$15,000.
