In light of this in-
formation, as this Year of
the Child draws to a
close, I would urge all
concerned people to begin
or continue to boycott the
following Nestle
products: Nescafe,
Encore, Decaf, Taster's.
Choice, Nestea, Nestle's
Qtitik, Libby's, McNeill
and Libby, Souptime,
Maggi Soups, Crosse and
Blackwell, Wispride,
Cherry Hill Cheese, Swiss
Knight Cheese, and Old
Fort Cheese.
Perhaps before 1980 is
over, we will be able to go_
back to our favourite
Nestle products with a
clear conscience and the
knowledge that we have
helped to change the
course of life fo tens of
thousands of Third 'World
babies.
Yours truly,
Iva J. Wood,
Goderich.

The Canadians and the

phenomena of how
Khoumeni is seemingly
beginning to take the
place of 'Allah, who the

I think that they would

However, if immigration

understand we already

I don't recall hearing of
any such practice before.
I think Khoumeni has set
Islam back a thousand

take the place of Allah.
It's quite obvious they
