Remembrance Day service
By Deb 8jaarda
Here at F. E. Madill we re-
membered those who gave their
lives in battle, on November 9.
The master of ceremonies was
Mr. R. P. Ritter, our principal.
The service began with a hymn,
entitled "Lest We Forget", sung
by the school choir. This was
followed by the advancing of the
colors. The Color party consisted
of sergeant -at -arms, Dave
Crothers; flag bearers, Mr.
Daves Hynes and Mr. Bert
Morin; and the piper, Mr. Mac
Armstrong. The choir then sang,
"Cantide of Praise". The Lord's
Prayer was recited in unison. Mr.
K. E. Wood read a piece from the
scriptures. The Remembrance
Day message was given by
Anthony V. Sonderup, rector of
the Sacred Heart parish in Wing -
ham, St. Ambrose in Brussels. He
mentioned that if we start with
ourselves, and treat each other

with respect, justice and freedom
will spread to the world. We
should rededicate :.l — to
fight for justice and freedom so
as not to make the deaths of those
who fought so worthless.
The presentation of the
wreaths was next. Presentations
were made by Ian March, vice-
president of students' council and
Mr. Clarence Ohm, who is presi-
dent of the Royal Canadian
Legion, branch 180, in Wingha n.
We then rose for the playing of
the Last Post, by Doug Clark and
Scott McKim, the minute of
silence, and the Reveille. The
well-known poen "In Flanders
Fields", written by John Mc-
Crae, was read by Mr. W. Paul
Engle. The senior choir followed
this with the singing of "One
World". After the retiring of the
colors, we rose to sing our
national anthem, "O Canada".

They are sneaky, relentless
and underhanded. They come as
friends and take away the only
part of a human being that makes
him free, his mind. They use
techniques that appear harmless,
but are in reality more dangerous
than a hand grenade, for they de-
stroy the mind. They act ley
and innocently while they rob
hmd� of their wills, and for-
s. T%se are the cultists of
the 70's.
A cult, as defied by COMA
(Council on Mind Abuse), is "an
elitist, totalitarian society of ob-
sessively devoted individuals,
subjected to psychologically
coercive recruitment and in-
doctrination techniques, prac-
tising rejection and -or hatred for
the rest of society (particularly
former family and friends). It is
parasitic, receiving funding
through deception for the per-
sonal gain and -or power of its
leader, but performing no service
to society." So what does all that
mean? In short, it indicates that
cults are a sect devoted to
gaining power, and, in the pro-
cess, destroying the individuality
of people.
Perhaps you feel that this has
nothing to do with the inhabitants
of a rural area. After all, if some-
thing can be kept hidden, that
means it's not really there, right?
Wrong! Just like the way
alcoholics often refuse to accept
that they need help, we may re-
fuse to accept that cults should be
an issue for us because they have
not yet touched us personally.
But now, as cults continue to
function all over Canada, we
must begin to question what they
are really about.
With 30 recognized cults and at
)east 20 more "+W nfRc-iwlyy mW1fMo,
in Toronto alone, every person is
threatened by their very pre-
sence. Using unobtrusive
methods such as surveys in -
supermarkets, cultists lure you
to "community meetings" where
they bombard you with brain-
washing techniques of which you
are -unaware. Within hours, you
may be signed up for an innocent
(appearing) "vacation". During
this "vacation" they may use isb-
lation, hypnosis, peer group
pressure, sleep deprivation, fear,
guilt and various other mind -
bending tactics to sway you into
their cult. Before you can stop
yourself, or are even aware of the
danger;. you are hooked, and
within weeks a mindless zombie.
Even persons trained in re-
cognizing and fighting brain-
washing methods, them-
selves almost powerleel against
cultists.:

being abused by' today's teen-
agers, ' "Phey aren't any worse
than they were before," he in-
sisted, adding that it is society
that condones drinking as ac-
ceptable behavior. Even though
his statistics prove illegal
drinking, "We'd gel very upsd if
the police started locking up our
kids for drinking."
Mr. Wraith is also conducting
the survey focussing on smoking
habits, however statistics have
yet to be analyzed.
One parent asked the teacher if
advertising may affect teenage
drinking. He answered, "Com-
panies spend a lot of money each
year on advertising. They
wouldn't do it if they didn't think
it was working."
Another parent --segued that
lowering the drinking age from 21
to 19 has resulted in teenager
abuse of alcohol. However Grant
Ellison, another panelist and
chairman of Huron County
Council for Action on Alcohol and
other Drugs and a recovering
alcoholic, suggested that, "Age
has nothing to do with it. All a kid
has to do is pay more, but it is
readily available."
Dr. Dennis Wilkins, soother
panelist, was asked, "What is an
alcoholic?"
e drip
kina
"Anyone who has to get drunk
has a problem," he answered,
adding, "anybody who cannot
keep sober when drinking and '.
people who start to hide the fact
that they do drink".
Who helps the innocent victim
of an alcoholic? was another
:question focussed at a drinker's
spouse. Mr. Docherty insisted,
"In many cases the spouse isn't
so innocent. He or she probably
knew there was a problem before
it had gone too far. Denial exists
not only by the drinker, but also
by loved ones around him."
In a case of child abuse by an
alcoholic, he said it is a spouse's
responsibility to report the in-
cident. "Innocent victims have to
take positive steps, such as
counselling. But very often they
are not willing to do that,"
concluded Mr. Docherty.
Dr. Wilkins added, "Wives can
win over their husbands by their
good behavior."
Can an alcoholic receive help if
he doesn't want it?
Mr. Ellison answered, "You
can offer them help to begin with.
That's more than a lot of them
get." He explained that the offer
will prove that it is available, but
It is basically up to the indivkhW
to decide whether or not to
receive it.
