Letters to the editor
Writer feels constitute - n should recognize God
Dear Editor,
An open letter to- Pierre
Trudeau:
A bus load of us went to a
session of parliament last
Tuesday; each one represen-
ting a different part of our
province (all from Ontario
except one who came from
Alberta). We were there
from 2 p.m. until the lights
were turned out at 6 p.m.
There were a number of
things I found very difficult
to understand. Would you ex-
plain these matters, so that
I, in turn may be able to ex-
plain them to the people
whom I represent.
Is it possible that the
preamble, or any part of the
'AMENDED CON-
STITUTION' will not in any
way recognize "TI1F
SUPREMACY OF GOD"?
For a-eountr founded, built,
blessed, and grown to
maturity on, with, and
because of, the highest of
Christ -like standards. I can't
see that this is so.
If I am correct in what I
am reasonably sure I heard,
but I hope I didn't
understand, this will mean a
revolution in our country.
The people of Canada will
never accept= it-? There- will
no longer be a "DOMINION
OF CANADA", and that
would be a catastrophy in-
deed!
We have elected you,
believing you would. repre-
sent us in world affairs as
honourable and dependable
"MEN OF GOD".
Meyers not acting on oven behalf
Dear Editor:
In my opinion Mr. Lynn
Meyers and the G.D.C.I.
deserve an apology from so-
meone, concerning a com-
ment and comparison made
by a town council member at
the April 13th tneeting
(quotation in your last
week's paper under "Council
tables decision on the arena
auditorium rental"). One
cannot jump up at the coun-
cil table in reaction to all the
comments made by others
(although one may try it at
times) and I take this oppor-
tunity to be the 'one who of-
fers ,the apology, as I feel
that the high-school project
and Mr. Meyers' role in it
was subjected to a totally un-
suitable comparison.
The topic under discussion
was Mr. Frank Little's per-
sonal request for rentfree
use of a recreational facility
where he said he intends to
"make money" for
"horsemen" who are, accor-
ding to Mr. Little, badly
organized. Mr. Meyers was
not on the agenda; he was
not present for any purpose
Blyth Hall
needs money
Dear Editor,..
Blyth Memorial Hall is one
of the most pleasant places
to enjoy live theatre. It is in-
timate, yet large enough to
seat nearly 500 persons. It
hds the warm feeling of aged
wood, yet the comforts of
modern air conditioning and
the safety of full fire protec-
tion: With the recent renova-
tions and additions, the hall
now has a wh1el chair ra-rnn
and ° pleasant, mlern
washrooms.
Making Memorial Hall
this way cost $310,000 and
$50,000 of that amount must
still be raised.
We could do it by raising
ticket prices. If each of the
more than 20,000 persons
who visited ' the Summer
Festival last year had paid
$2,50 extra, the debt would
have been. quickly retired.
The policy of the Festival.,
however, has been, from the
beginning, .to keepticket
prices as low as possible to
allow people of, all incomes
to attend and to let people br-
ing the whole family and in-
troduce their children to the.
magic world of live theatre.
We are asking instead that
everyone who enjoys the

whatever.
Mr, Meyers has not ap-
peared before the council as
"an individual" or on behalf
of any unsubstantiated rela-
tionship. Mr. Meyers is the
Head of 'Physical Education
at the G.D.C.I. and Co-
ordinator of Recreational
Facilities, i.e. the athletic
field at Eldon and Bennett,
established as' a Community
Recreation Centre by town
council's by-law number 31
of 1978 whilst by-law number
27 of 1978 covers an agree-
.ment between the Corp. of
the Town of Goderich and
Huron County Board of
Education, the owners of the
land.
The town's by-law enabled.
the project, to obtain a Com-
munity Centres grant from
the Provincial Government.
'The only contribution the
town has made is the Clerk's
help. with the application. On
the contrary, I' notice that
among the invoices paid by
the projectis one submitted
by the Town of Goderich for
"labour and machine time"
for $3,629.
• . I am impressed by the fact
that the G.D.C.I. students
raised $26,00Q -for the first
phase and expect to raise
$23,000 for the, second phase
nf the athletic field' which is
also available to public at no
cost, 'at certain times and
part ofthe year. I

I feel that instead of mak-
ing a habit of demanding
concessions at the expense of
local taxpayers, as increas-
ing numbers of adult groups,
businesses and organiza-
tions do, they could learn a
thing or two from students.
If I may say so, I find it
somewhat difficult to believe
that, if an individual wants
to promote his own business
Let us know that I' have
been- mistaken in- what I
thought I understood; that
you do represent us, both at
home, and in world
parliaments, as "GOD
'FEARING" and "GOD
HONOURING" members
and renresentatives of
"THIS GREAT CANADA OF
OURS!" ..
and the business of others in
the same field (Mr.' Little
saidthat he makes his living
from horses), he would not
have the ordinary pride of
wanting to pay his expenses,
instead of reaching into the
recreational revenue pocket'
of the public.
I.. do think that the com-
parison with Mr. Meyers and.
the high-school project was a
rather unfortunate one.
Sincerely,
Elsa Haydon
No world empire has ever
been-destro-yect by an outside
force, in the last 5000 years,
before it was destroyed by
internal rot; and the last
step of decay has always
been the break up of the
family. The great Roman
Empire is possibly the most
outstanding example. The
British would come a close
second. If we are not very
careful, CANADA will be the
next!
In order to prevent this, wee
must all "Put our shoulder to
the wheel" and do
everything in our power to
keep the family unit. intact;
OR WE TOO WILL GO
DOWN TO DESTRUCTIQN!
MAY GOD HELP US TO
PREVENT IT!

love and care of their
parents-; and put- theta in-
state -run institutions. He has
gone so far as to say, and I
quote, "THE CHILD IN
CANADA DOES NOT
BELONG TO HIS
PARENTS. HE BELONGS
TO THE STATE". This is a
statement that should shake
any country to its roots. This
is the forerunner of in-
evitable destruction if it is
put into practise!
Now! Why do I tell you
this? You already know it in
all its details. I repeat it
because of its stealthy com-
munistic undertone AND, it
seemed to me, by what I
heard, that the .AMENDED
CONSTITUTION is
overlooking the IMPOR-
TANCE OF THE FAMILY in
our country; the all impor-
tant factor .in the building of
a great and mighty GOD
FEARING COUNTRY.
