As young children they were often sick with high fevers resulting in hear- ing loss. Dave and Kevin are both three years in speech development below that ex- pected of their age groups. They both use FM -auditory trainers in the classroom. Margo Clinker -Farquhar, speech-language pathologist, recommends that Dave and Kevin should be involved in a direct therapy program with a speech-language pathologist for three sessions per week at 45 minutes per session. The fee per hour is $60 per 'child. We support and send our children to Lucknow Christian School. This, as parents, we fund 100%. As you can imagine, due , to the costs involved, we are notable to have'. extras in the curriculum. One of these ex- tras would be a speech pathologist. The public and separate school systems do have these 'teachers available for those in need with no cost to the parents. Without belabor- ing the point, we find ourselves being discriminated against because we belong to an independent school system. For us we would have to pay for this teacher to come to our school. The question is why? We support the public system with full share of provin- cial and school taxes just as everyone else does. Would it be unfair to expect some ser -- vice or funds to help our two boys with their learning disabilities? - As we were waiting to see Murray Elston for some form of help, I glanced through his pamphlets in his sitting room. In the 'OHIP pamphlets it states, and I quote "The Home Care Program also provides school health LETTERS support services for pupils with special health care needs which, if not provided in a school settin, could interfere significantly with their educational program. And in ad- dition OHIP benefits are provided for speech therapy when prescribed by a physi- cian as a medically necessary course of treatment." Also in the Child and Family Services Act it states, and I quote "Services may be pro- vided to a child with a special need, and also the Act continuesprovisions for special needs agreements. Parents of children with special needs caused by behavioral, developmental, emotional, physical, mental or other handicap may enter into these agreements with their local Children's Aid Society, or directly with the Minister of Health: Also Children should receive ser- vices that are tailored to their needs and respect differences in culture, religion, background and physical and mental development." All of these statements are. false because they have failed to mention that we are not allowed to use .this service because our children go to an independent school. Since we are sending then to an independent school, they state that we are opting out of the public school benefits, yet we are still expected to pay public school taxes. We are not fighting to get•their education paid for, but we tope that Mr. Elston will' help us in some way so that our boys may receive speech therapy and still remain in the Lucknow Christian School.

Voting for three parties means indirectly supporting abortion Dear Editor, For the past 16 years, there have been 907,357 abortions in Canada, half of these in Ontario. This is how the three main par- ties stand on this important issue. The NDP Party wants to increase access to abortion, meaning free standing abor- tion clinics throughout the province, in af- fect "Abortion on Demand". The Liberal Party believes in seeking "methods of having fair and even access across the province for regularly con- stituted abortion clinics." The Conservative Party Leader (of Ont.) refused to give his personal position. Instead he states that politicians "must not impose their own personal morality on the public." This statement of course, is the standard reply of politicians who ac - Kinsmen celebrate 40. years of service Dear Editor: The Kinsmen Club of Goderich is celebrating 40 years of "Serving the Com- munity's Greatest Need" on Saturday Oct. 17, 1987 at the Goderich Community Centre. We would like to invite all former members of the Goderich Club to join with us on this occasion and help us relive the past as we look to the future. For ticket information please contact: Mike Drennan 524-6675, Gerry Paolin 529-7931. We look forward to seeing you there! The Kinsmen Club of Goderich cept abortion: (Anthony Hawkins): All three parties voted in favor of Bill -7 (re: homosexual orientation). After kowing this, if you find you cannot vote for these three parties, because there is no family coalition candidate in your area, you can issue a protest ballot. At the polling station, refuse your ballot explain- ing that because of the past performances of the three major parties regarding life issues, you are unable to vote. This must be recorded. There comes a time when one must realize that by voting for these three par- ties, you are indirectly supporting abor- tion. When respect for human life is lost, the foundation of society is destroyed. Pete and Elsie Dykstra Goderich, Ont. Ask if politicians do the job To the Editor, Now that it is approaching election time again, we all should a$k ourselves this ques- tion. Are our politicians really working for tis or not? Recently in a mandate by the Federation of Small Business a vote on the return of capital punishment showed 62% in favour, 27% against and 11% undecided. Government turned it down., Are they really doing their job? Yours truly, Wm.
