Is Catholic funding neer' ed
Is the Catholic high school o the largest churches in
funding really necessary? Canada and has many fol -
Our government seems to lowers. However if we are
think so. However, as a going to give money to the
Catholic, 1 feel that it is not. Catholic Church for their
own high schools, should we
not also give money to every
other church for its own high
schools?
The answer is obviously
"no". The taxpayers just
wouldn't be able to support
so many schools and the en-
rolment in each school would
be very low, The enrolment
in our high school is just un-
der 1,000 students. We are
capable of enrolling 1,500. So
why take students out of our
already low population and
decrease it more to put them
in a religious school?
I feel that the solution to
Canada's first people were
the Indians, who had their
own religion. Settlers began
to come over from countries
all around the world. Each
country had its own reli-
gions. Greek Orthodox,
Buddhism, Anglican, Pres-
byterian, Lutheran, Baptist,
Jehovan's Witness, United,
Mennonite 'and the Catholic
church are just a few of these
many religions. All these
religions are allowed to have
their own churches here to
practise their own faith.
The Catholic church is one
Moments to remember
the problem would be to set
aside one period at the end of
each school day for religion.
Each religion could have its
own room or location in the
school. If students wanted to
learn about other religions,
they could do so.
The enrolment in our high
school would be unchanged.
It would not cost the taxpay-
ers any more money (or at
least, not as much as it would
cost to set up different
schools). I also believe that
students benefit from mixing
with students of other
religions.
I am not the only Catholic
to feel this way. What do you
think?

My most memorable meal
I was never a great lover
of spinach, but after this
memorable meal I never ate
it again.
As my family sat down to
eat, everything indicated a
normal supper. I noticed a
great mound of fresh, garden
spinach in one bowl and re-
minded myself to keep it on
the other side of tlae table.
But as it was passed by, a
glaring look from my mother
prompted me to take a small
helping.
I took a forkful, closed my
eyes and began to chew.
Much to my surprise the
mushy vegetable crunched
beneath my teeth. One
crunch was enough for me
and the spinach made a
hasty, undignified exit from
my mouth. My family was
My favorite time of year
, Winter is my favorite time
of year. After the dreary
days of November, winter
with its snow brings import-
ant holidays, special occa-,
sions, and new beauty to the
land.
At my house, winter gets
'off to a roaring start with the
celebration of my father's
birthday which is on the first
day of winter, December 21,,
This is followed by the cele-
bration of Christmas four
days later.
January brings the festivi-
ties of New Year's Day, my
birthday, and also my
brother's birthday. Febru-
ary also has its special
event, Valentine's Day. The
last festivity of winter is St.
'Patrick's Day on March
17th. I think people are gen-
erally more cheerful in the
winter because of these
special occasions.
With its festivities, winter
brings a blanket of snow
which provides a fresh
