To the Editor: -
Spring is here and that means an in-
crease in wildlife activity. Unfortunately, a
considerable number of wild mammals will
suffer pain, hardship and even death. This
will occur as some wild creatures will
make a "nuisance" of themselves by tak-
ing up residence in human dwellings. Peo-
ple,imoften ignorant of and frightened by the
anals, will take extreme measures to
"correct" the inconvenience caused by the
wildlife. Animals often suffer as a result of
cruel -and needless action taken by
homeowners to rid their homes of nuisance
wild creatures. However, untimely or in-
correct exclusion of wildlife can also cause
headaches for homeowners if wildlife are
trapped in the building.
To ensure that wildlife cannot become a
nuisance, homeowners should "wildlife pro-
of" their dwellings. Wildlife proofing a
home can take on various forms depending
on the animal trying to be excluded. Some
of the potential home sites for wildlife in-
clude: uncapped chimneys, roofs in poor
repair, unprotected garbage, open areas
beneath decks and homes as well as open
vents.
Generally, the fall is a good time to
make building repairs prohibiting wildlife
from gaining access to a home. The fall is
a good time because often wildlife that has
entered your home in the spring to have
its young, will leave willingly in the fall.

preciate the beauty and importance of
these creatures, many others despise or
regard these animals as "nuiaance

titude is unfortunate for several reasons.
One reason is that people are responsible
for destroying wildlife habitat and forcing
wild creatures to take refuge in made -

Heart campaign exceeds $60,000
To the Editor,
Did you realize that during the month of
February over 600 people donated their
time to thoroughly canvas all areas of
Huron? To all of you — congratulations —
you have helped the Huron Chapter of the
Heart and Stroke Foundation exceed its
goal of $60,000. To all of you who donated
so generously let me express the Founda-
tion's sincere appreciation. Together we
support the vital work of research and it
is having spectacular results. The Heart
and Stroke Foundation funds 2/3 of all
heart and stroke related research. And it
pays! We are making quantum leaps in
finding cures, developing medical advances
and educating the public to prevent the
problem. When you realize that 43 percent

First, a group of learned scientists deci
ed to improve the health and welfare
mankind. Behind closed doors they place
their small dishes and eye -droppers on the
table. Into each dish they dropped'one;
or more liquid chemical compounds until
they were satisfied. Then they mixed them
all together and they had a Wonder Pill!
Then it had to be tested. They ad-
ministered the pill to a group of small,
helpless, terrified animals who had been
injected with a cancer cell. These died. As
they improved upon the dosage, they found
that some of the animals had fewer hours
of pain and discomfort, but of course they
still had the cancer. They decided it was
time for human consumption. The Doctor
told the mother -to -be to take x number of
mgs, three times daily to be assured of a
happy, healthy baby. The result - a two
day old infant needed a heart transplant -
a one week old needed a • dney transplant
(or two). Other babies were being born
already with cancer, others with no arms,
legs, retarded - need we go on? "to err is
human, to forgive, divine". But Yahweh
(our Maker) said: "1 will repay..,"
Meanwhile, thousands of kind, caring
people have donated their time, money and
effort to raise millions of dollars through
public telethons, etc., for research. Along
the way they forgot the word PREVEN-
TION. How long is it since they started
research on a cancer cure? 40-50 years?
Billions of dollars spent? Yet, they are
confident that a cure is near at hand. But
they forgot to read what Yahweh said: "I
will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the
intelligence of the intelligent I will
frustrate," (1 Cor. 1:19).
The scientists were further encouraged to
add to man's well-being. They took a hand-
ful of our Creator's perfect grain (He
never makes a mistake) which He has pro-
vided for our perfect health. (See
Yahweh's instructions to Ezekiel - Ezek.
4:9). First, man strips off the outer coating
which he lays aside. Then he takes the
rest and crushes it, puffs it, flattens it, etc.
He then adds a few synthetic vitamins and
places it in a cardboard box with the
li 11
derf

d- words: one ounce of this with four ounces
of of milk make a good source of dietary pro-
d Lein." (He forgot to mention that the pro-
tein comes from the milk.) Then he takes
two' 'the bra,3rrwtudr he 47tltriplled-off't3rvoriginal"
grain, adds a few more additives and
places that in another cardboard box and
writes on that one "fibre". The first thing
we place on our table is a dish with our
wonder pills which we take to sustain us
for the day.
Then it's on to the polluted fast ex-
pressways which take us to our high-rise
office buildings. We enter our smoke-filled,
windowless, sealed tight offices. No need
for lively discussions or debates. We just
press a few buttons and the computer has
all the answers. Day over, we stop at the
fast-food chain for dinner. No need to
worry if our salad will be green and crisp
- it will be well sprayed with one of man's
chemicals. We pick up our hamburger
which has been kept nice and warm on the
steam table, and it takes no time at all to
drop our fries into the hot buialing oil
always ready and waiting to complete the
fast meal which we demand. Or maybe
we'll go home and relax in our easy chair
and watch our favourite violent crime pro-
gram, while enjoying our T.V. dinner.
As a man continues to try to invade our
Creator's home (heaven) - "... earth He
has given to man" (Psa. 115-16) - He is not
unmindful. We shall see many more great
disasters, as Yahweh pours out His wrath
on mankind. But to those who love and
obey His commands, He has promised: "A
thousand may fall at your side, ten thou-
sand at your right hand, but it will not
come near you. If Yahweh is for us, who
can be against us?" (Rom. 8:31). As the
poet said: "Poems are made by fools like
me, but only (Yahweh) can make a tree."
And so, until we obey His commands, we
shall continue to live in this violent,
disease -ridden world,
Shalom,

Oil Springs 125 -yea
Dear Editor,
On July 20 and 21, 1990 the Village of Oil
Springs will be celebrating its 125th An-
niversary. We would like to invite all
former residents, friends and relatives to
join in the festivities.
Highlights of the Celebrations will in-
clude a Hometown Reunion, Dances,
Parade, Entertainment, Oil Field Tours,
and various Exhibits and displays. The

To the Editor:
What would you like to be remembered
for? - Being the best dresser, one of the
best hockey players, being very fair?
What?
I know what I'd like to be remembered
for, or as...
People go on about abortions and I am
110 percent pro-life but I have seen adults
erase children in classrooms, wives erase
husbands by underhandedly erasing their
self-esteem.
Apparently people in the apparently
poverty stricken countries talk about us
here in the United States and Canada.
They say that we are so poor .that we have
to kill our babies.
We, like many parents were faced with
a new little unplanned for baby and grand -
rs-old, party planned
theme of the Celebrations will be the
1800's.
Anyone interested in finding out more
about the 125th Anniversary of the Village
of Oil Springs may contact the Municipal

n are good luck
baby, coming into the world. The Greeks
say that the unplanned children and grand-
children are your good luck children - I
believe that now. The day that I start
okaying the snuffing out of the lives of my
grandchildren, grandnieces or grand-
nephews or grandfriends, then I will know
that I am poor.
Does, anyone up home, or anyone reading
this have a room, a non-judgemental room
they could spare for nine months or some
money they could spare to help these
young and not so young mothers or dads
- so they wouldn't have to have an abor-
tion? As John Vintar says we are all
wonderful Christians until it some to hav-
ing to dig into our own pockets.
