The Goderich Signal-Star, 1979-05-10, Page 5Differen Dear Editor: Character and Num an attitudes are passed on to succeeding gener tions only through edudating by word, writing and example. This truth is self evident. This idea was rejected officially in the Soviet Union' in 1948 when Lamarckism became. their official authority on biology. Karl Marr and Friedrich Engels. were staunch believers in Lamarckism. It was the foundation for com- es munism. This theory of science claims the "acquired charac- teristics in humans could be inherited by future generations" - this theory has been completely repudiated by Mendel, Western geneticist. As y -e -t, therms is no evidence that Soviet party leaders have dropped this false theory of science. This biological ' blew was widely believed in the Victorian Era. It was promoted by Charles Darwin who reduced it to Dear Editor.:. • from page 4 teaching morals and values in the sense that there is only one right way. Teachers respect the wide variety of life styles represented in their classrooms, and have no wish to antagonize families by "teaching" children something -)taw or different. Guiding is another matter. The article in last week's Signal -Star made . it clear that "guiding" or "exploring alternatives" is considered the best approach. The press has no wish to "stir up trouble" for the teachers. This reporter agrees that Huron County teachers are doing an excellent job and supports and un- derstands their reluc- tance -to be caught in a situation where they will be at odds with the home environment of their students. -Come home •De-ar Editor, This is to inform you of the St. Jacobs Public School Homecoming on Saturday, June 2, 1979.

Jacobs, Ontario, NOB 2N0. Homecoming Committee, G. Chambers., Principal. Likes paper Dear Editor: Please find enclosed a page from a 1944 newspaper. _ Rather than throw it out, perhaps it could be shared by reprinting it as we are approaching 35 years since D-day. For that event many of us were hurriedly rushed across the Atlantic. Is Ed. Sullivan still living? In mid -page is an r"nteresting article recording his thoughts on fi Canadian women. If he is still living, I wonder what his thoughts are re- MargaretTrudeau? Received your March 29 issue. You have provided a valuable service by including your 'detailed brochure on cancer. Much work has gone into this. I shall share this with my-\ co-workers in the medical field and others who should be interested. We enjoy receiving your weekly paper and are looking forward to spending the occasional day at our camper north of Goderich. Thank You, Mrs. Bertha R. Rudow Elmira Disappointed Dear Editor: I am a young and up- coming photographer and businessman One of the fields I am entering is High School Yearbook photography. In the past five J'nonths I have mailed some 250 letters to 154high schools here in south central and south west' -n part 'of Ontario. Up until now I have received only fifteen replies. I think this is gross ignorance upon the parts of the schools and their principals. .It would cost them no more than what it cost me to mail a letter to them, even if the letter said no. Thank you. Sincerely, Kerry J. Newstead Brantford • • 4,11 ging confrontations his theory in which "Gemmels" in the blood were claimed to pick-up and pass on acquired characteristics!
