The Goderich Signal-Star, 1974-12-27, Page 1WHAT I HOPE FOR iN 1975 The year 1975 is only a stones throw away so what should I hope for this year. I guess it's almost like a recipe. The ingredients would be 364 days of hapiness (sadness has to, come once in a while, but one day out of a year is more than enough.) blend with the following and stir constantly 1 large helping of co-operation and helpfulness 1$ months of worldly love. Keep in mind and use 24 -hours a day, 365 days a year and , you'llfind out that this' is all we need to live through hap- . pily, for the ,new year and years to conte. Cynthia Redmond • Grade 7 St. Mary's School 1975 I am hoping, for peace in the world, no wars, no "people dying because of wars. I hope for an end to poverty. All • people will go to sleep with their stomachs full, not rumbling with hunger. Everyone will be safe. No rumbling with with hunger. Everyone will be cared for. No one will suffer. All .people and animals will be safe. No animal or thing will be mistreated.

Too many people are suffet'ing over a small amount of land. This world would be a much better place to live. It would help a great deal. Another impossible hope is that everyone would be gr,,.ateful that Christ had died for us. We should havebee the ones that were killed. After all we were the ones who 'had sinned. We should love and cherish God at the church. Another impossible hope' -is for. an end to suffering._ There is not enough money going to the missions. Many, many, thousands of men, woman and children are dying everyday; They need our money, but as long as we are well-off the heck.. with the rest of the world•. We should all unite in one faith and love: One more'impossible,hope.is that everyone has a right, to justice. Many people in the penitentiary a'e innocent just because they, did not get fair justice. I watt these and All other troubles in' the world to stop. Hope is: A life . of luxurious things, An unpolluted stream, A life of unity in love, And many many other things. Age 12 St. Mary's Grade 7 John Koster Grade 7 St. Marys School WHAT I AM HOPING FOR IN THE .¥EAi 1975 S 1h 1975 I am hoping thakbkere will be a better world to live in, that again people witart sharing, that this will be a better community and that love and peace will come bet- ween us, not hate and war. I hope that people' will not be selfish and that they who are rich will give_to the poor. This I know is hard to come across but what a miracle if it `happened. WHAT I WOULD LIKE IN 1975 • For 1'975 I would like a peace -loving world. A place where the parks are clean and the air is fresh. A place where the people love each other and Where there's no fighting. A country or world where animals are left to roam freely. A place where prisons are torn down because people are humans and are meant to be treated like humans. A place where you can walk down the street without getting mugged. Even where the streets are clean and where trash is thrown in the trash can. A place where people have enough, not too little or not too much. The world .would have parties seven days a week, twelve mdnths a year. The world would have a universal language and' all were treated alike. The black were like white, the white were like black, the yellow like red, the red like yellow. 'A place where everyone believed in the same God and if • you were caught prayir;,,in one country you wouldn't get shot down .or beaten up. 9 . This would be a great world. Don't you .also wish it would come to be. Let's all tri together. ' Carol Stegenstad Grade 7 St. Mary's School WHAT I HOPE FOR ' IN 1975 Suzanne Smith Grade 7 ,St, Mary's School For '75 I would lake a world where you cart.hear birds chrip without industrial noises. When little children aren't lying dead all over the streets. Where fish can swim in un- polluted waters, so everyone will have the same amount of intelligence. A world where there is brotherhood, peace and underktanding. Parks that aren't polluted. All I can hope for is that 1975' will be a better year.
