Here, one of the 18 exhibitors who attended, shows some of her pieces to an interested buyer. The annual show and sale originated with the Bluewater Centre volunteers but when the Centre was closed, the Goderich Arts Foundation picked it up. The Foundation plans to hold another show next year.

DearEditor, The final weeks of the election campaign are here: The nuclear arms race remains the most important issue. The campaign ",anada for the Freeze" is gaining momen- tum. Over the past few days, Senior Liberal officials, Jean Chretien and Iona Cam- pognola, have rejected the official Liberal party's policy and have supported "Canada for the Freeze". Hence they have joined the growing ranks of enlightened Canadians who want to halt the global nuclear arms race. What does "Canada for the Freeze" mean? If the next federal government contains a majority of MPs who support "Canada for the Freeze", such a government would urge that N.A.T.O. requests that the two super- powers commit to a complete halt to the testing, production and deployment of all nuclear weapons and their delivery . systems. In' essence, "the freeze" would STOP the nuclear arms race in its tracks, It is absolutely essential to realize that the freeze would be mutual..In the world, the U.S.A. and the U.S.S.R. would sirrrultaneously- , freeze their nuclear arsenals and programs. It is very misleading, when certain politicians imply that the freeze would be "unilateral" or "one-sided". It is absolutely essential to realize that such a freeze would be verifiable. Both the U.S.A. and the U.S.S.R. must be assured that the other side is living up to its end of the freeze arrangement. Because a freeze is a total halt to all aspects of the nuclear arms race, it would be easier to "verify" with surveillance .satellites than other kinds of arms control agreements ( which only restrict the numbers of certain types of weapons ). You might ask "What: about the Rus - LETTERS sians?". The Soviet Union, at least for the moment, seems prepared to accept -a freeze agreement with the United States. They have voted in, favour. of the freeze three times at the United Nations, and have publicly expressed their support for the freeze concept. We may. not care for the Soviet social and value system'', but that does not mean we should ignore them when they are' willing to take a major step towards world peace. How can you, a citizen of Canada, pro- mote "Canada for the Freeze" and hence make your contribution to halting the nuclear arms race'? By lobbying all three candidates in our constituency, and asking them if they are for "the freeze". If they say "yes", thank them for taking their stand. If they say "no", supply them with the over- whelming arguments that support "the freeze". Further details about "the freeze" are available in a iYamphlet "Canada for the Freeze" which is published by Operation Dismantle - one of many' Canadian anti- nuclear groups. Copies of this pamphlet may be picked up at my office, during office hours. And too, if you want to participate in pro- moting world peace and halting the nuclear arms race, act today and lobby your local candidates. If they do not hear from us, they may conclude that this important issue does not concern us. In the name of peace, Jim Hollingworth. Commercialism doesn't become Papal visit here Dear Editor, I am getting just a little.bit more than fed up with the shenanigans and commer- cialism surrounding the Pope's visit to Canada next month. I realize he is a heavy, being the number one representative of the big guy upstairs with the G on his t -shirt, however, when I hit my neighbourhood Macs to get a pack of weeds to soothe my shattered nerves and give nay poor lungs a road test, just why should I have to see can- dies with his face staring up at me try:1g to make me feel guilty for notbuying him. There are spoons, mugs; calendars, brochures and all sorts of salable objects with his smiling portrait, saying take me home. I cannot understand the policv of some merchants. If this isn't subliminal advertising at its worst then just what is? Granted the last twenty years or so our code of life has changed drastically and morals now are no different than when the Romans were on the top of the heap and look what happened to thein. They went broke. - The lions ate up all their prophets. This is conunercialism in its lowest form. NEWSPAPER SPECIAL Take us back fo college with you this Fall...

How am I supposed to sleep after I say my prayers, climb under the covers, and have him staring down at me from the top half of a calendar which is nothing but a measurement of time until we knock off this handfull of clay called a planet anyways. Millions of dollars are be- ing spent capitalizing on his visit and if this isn't a major flaw or crime then just what is? I have just finished reading the:number two bestseller book "In God's Name" by David Yallop as listed in Time magazine, Aug. 4th edition and if this isn't irony well now I just may be missing something. One thing is certain, you won't catch me at Downsview airport next month being bless- ed by him. His presence and warmth cer- tainly might be hypnotic. but somehow stan- ding on or beside a runway being blessed isn't my cup of tea or gateway to heaven.
