JIM BELL BUS: 524-2138 RES: 524-8521 LIFE • HOME • AUTO BUSINESS • TRAVEL OPINIf,N Sun seekers will not escape metric Dear Editor, For many Canadians, a brief respite from the rigours of winter means the proverbial migration down south for sun, sea and sand. Again, for many Canadians, it Means retur- ning to the realm of weights and measures which are free of so-called Metrication. But not for long; because as soon as our Orlando, Fort Myers or Disneyland sunwor- shippers cross the Florida border, they will be faced with both Imperial and Metric en- umerated road signs. Obviously, this news strikes horror into the heart of the anti -metrics. But the follow- ing article, extracted from Metric Commis- sion Canada's periodical "Metric," is a clear indicator that the Sunshine State is helping to spearhead the U.S. metric pro- gram; which once fully in place, will compel Canadians to tow the metric line whether they like it or not. Yours sincerely, Barry V. Page LETTERS The following is reprinted from Metric magazine: Florida road si it show kJph The Department of Transportation in the sunshine state of Florida plans to erect up to 1800 dual imperial/metric road signs per month. The program which began on Oc- tober of 1983 got off to a slow start, but is now moving into full implementation throughout the state. The delay was the result of an anti -metric lobby on the floor of the Florida Legislature to try and terminate the program. However, the state law on dual road signs was not repealed, and the program is now well underway. The family unit is core of society Dear Editor, In an effort to maintain an awareness of current events I read the newspapers, magazines, listen to radio_and view televi- sion newscasts. Thessae is undeniable and unbelievable. ThWe is murder, revolu- tion, famine, physical emotional and sexual abuse of children and to anyone with a social conscience the feeling of helplessness is overwhelming. To me, the epitome of all this horror in our society today is a rnan named Henry Morgentaler.I cannot call him doctor because to me doctor means life saver, life giver. Henry Morgentaler boasts of killing 18,000 babies personally through a medical procedure called abortion. Morgentaler is riding high on the tidal wave of the women's rights movement of to- day. I'm ashamed to be called a woman when, for the sake of a woman's right to do as she pleases with her own body, a baby is destroyed. I'm ashamed to be called a woman when men as a group are made to feel inadequate in our modern society. The family unit is the core for our society and it is beginning to disintegrate. Can't we do something before it's too late? Lorraine Brophy Maybe we need low-level scholarship writer says Dear editor, Your correspondent of October 31, ac- cuses me of obtaining information from a "source" of which he is not sure, but which he calls in question by saying: "I'm not sure of what Mr. Barney's source is, but he may want to get a refund." May I quote from my "source of informa- tion"? : "Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God ... Grace to you, and peace, , from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed be the God"and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ ... That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him." Speak- ing of God's might power Paul says: "Which' he (GOD) wrought in Christ, when he (GOD) raised him (CHRIST) up from the dead, and set him (the resurrected and • glorified Christ Jesus) at his own (GOD's) right hand in the heavenly places." (EPHE- SIANS 1:1,2,3,17,20). Turning to the Hebrew Scriptures, of which Jesus is reported to have said: "Your Word is Truth" (JOHN 17:17); The God of our Lord Jesus Christ is revealed as the One "whose name alone is JEHOVAH" the "most high over all the earth." (PSALM 83:18). He is the one of whom Jesus was speaking when he said: "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent." (JOHN 17:3). Since modern-day religionists have removed the name Jehovah from most translations, how could anyone really come to know both Jesus the Son and Jehovah his God? Maybe we need a little"low level scholarship." C.F. Barney. Blood donor clinic was best ever Dear Editor, The recent blood donor clinic in Goderich • was one of the largest in recent years with 320 donors attending and 282 units of blood collected. This included 81 first-time donors. The Goderich Kinsmen and Lions. Club and all the other volunteers including many G.D.C.I. students and town = businesses deserve a special h mk you. Zehrs provided the food and Tuckey Beverages supplied the op. pwould like to express my gratitude to each person who continues to help with this important undertaking. Mary Donnelly, (local coordinator) Ruth Knight, of Goderich, demonstrates weaving on a portable four -harness loom, handed down to her from her mother. Mrs. Knight was among those demonstrating their craft at the Huron Tract Spinners and Weavers Guild's annual exhibition, held Saturday and Sunday at the River Mill, in Benmiller The exhibition gives local weavers and -spinners a chance to ex- hibit and sell some of the products of their labors. (photo by Patrick Raftis hack -pack stolen in Spain Dear Editor, Many of your readers, who also read the FOCUS magazine, have mentioned to my wife or myself how they have been enjoying following the "Globetrotting" articles writ- ten by our son Rob Bundy, while he is on his round -the -world trip. As I am sure they realize, the articles ap- pear some two or three months after they actually occur. We thought your readers might be in- terested in the phone call we received from Rob just the other day: It started out with: "Well, I've got some good news and some bad news..." - The good news was that he and Rhonda became engaged, and are planning a wed- ding upon their return to Canada next sum- mer. ummer. The bad news was ... their rental car, in which they were travelling around Europe in, was broken into in Barcelona, Spain and his back -pack, with ever yything he owned, was stolen!

Fortunately, Rhonda's back -pack was saved, and he has insurance which will par- tially cover the loss. Nevertheless, the hassles, delays and costs involved have set them back considerably. "Just another learning experience, I guess," he said. They have returned the rental car to Paris, and after getting clothed and provi- sioned again, hope to set off for Yugoslavia and then on to the Holy Land. Rob said he hopes his efforts at trying to recount some of the interesting episodes during his • travels have made for good reading to the FOCUS readers. More ar- ticles will be forthcoming soon about their trip to Denmark, Norway, East Germany and Berlin. He sends greetings to all his friends in the Goderich area. Sincerely, D.R.
