Letters to the editor
Dear Editor:
Joyce Scotchmer
Bayfield, Ontario
Dear Mrs. Scotchmer:
I am sorry you ex-
perienced some difficulty
in voting- at the advance
poll for this election. I
also noticed that you
addressed your letter to
my father who hasn't
been Returning Officer
since 1966 and Should not
be blamed for anything
that happens in the 1980
election
When the election was
called the riding of
Huron -Bruce did not have
a Returning Officer. I
was appointed to the
position on Dec. -24, 1979.
and between then and
Jan. 11 attempted to: (1)

Unfortunately „some

the voters by posting
extra copies of the
"Notice of Advance
Polis". We also made
certain_ the local radio

The system you suggest
for selecting people is
good; but not practical
with the time and budget
available to organize an
election.

Voting as easy as possible
for everyone who is en-
titled to vote. Those of us
who are less than perfect
will probably continue to
make errors, and hope we
will have the opportunity
to correct them.

Another letter
Dear Editor,
In the letter appearing
under the heading "Share
Thoughts", the writer
speaks of ignoring "what
Jesus said of himself,
vis., "1 and the Father
(God) are one"'-, at the
same time ignoring .the -
context of that statement
by Jesus.
• Verses 24 to 30 of John
10 read: "So the•'Jews
gathered round him and
said to him, "How long
will . you keep us in
suspense? If you are the
Christ, tell us plainly."
Jesus answered them, "I,
told you and yOu do not
believe. The works that I
do in my Father's name,
they bear witness to me;
but you do not believe,
because you do not belong
to my sheep. My. sheep
hear my voice, and I
know them, and they
follow me; and I give
them eternal life, and
they shall never perish,
and no one shall snatch
them out of my hand. Mir
• Father, who has given
them to me, is greater
than all, and no one is
able to snatch them out of
the Father's hand. I and
• the Father are one."
When the Jews accused
Jesus of "blasphemy;
because you, being a
man, make yourself
God."
Jesus' reply was: "Is it
not written in your law,"
(Psalm 82:6) "I said you
are gods? If he called
them gods to whom the
• word of God, came (and
• scripture cannot be
broken), do you say of
him whom the Father
consecrated and sent into
the world, "You are
blaspheming,because I
said, I am the Son of
God?" (John 10: 31-36).
Thirteen times in this
one chapter Jesus spoke
of God as his Father.
In the statement: "If
Jesus is not God, He is a
liar and, therefore,
hardly a person to be
respected", the Nriter
