The Lucknow Sentinel, 1985-10-16, Page 7Chain letter is "rubbish" Dear Editor: A few days ago 1 received a chain letter informing me that if I sent $ copies to others within 4 days, I would receive good luck. I was warned that if I didn't send it on within' the 4 day period, I would suffer bad luck. The letter went on to give quite a number of examples of what happened to several people, Here are a couple of them - one man who didn't send out the letter within the 96 hour period, lost his job. He • then hunted for the letter, sent it out and he got a new and better job. Another man was bereaved by the death of his wife: (It didn't say that this man hunted up the letter and sent, it out and got a new and better wife). Itis strange, that people fall for such rubbish. The person who .believes in Jesus Christ doesn't have to depend on so-called ";luck". The Christian has the assurance that he is being guided day by day and all that happens to him is fora' purpose, although at times he may not understand what the purpose is. He lives in the assurance that a11. things ,work together for good to them that love God, to them that are called according to His purpose. Lucknow Sentinel, Wednesday, October 16, 1985=Page 7 (Romans 8:28) Other assurances that he is being guided daily tan be found through- out the Old and New Testament. Scriptures, We have for example "Trust in the Lord with all your heart; lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknow- ledge Him and He shall, direct your path." (Proverbs 3:5 and 6) "1 am the light of the world; he that followeth after Me shall not walk in darkness but shall have the light of life." (John 8:12),. "He is able to keep you from falling and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding great joy,',' (Jude 24). About the only favourable thing that can be said for the chain letter of this sort, is that it will please the postal authorities in' Ottawa (8 letters at 34c - $2.72) by helping to lower the postal department debt. Bill. Henderson. Hydro rests easy now Dear Editor: 'Ontario -hydro must be leaning back in its comfortable, old armchair a little more easily lately. Despite Hydro's lengthy and harmonious " marriage" with the Conser-• votive government ending so abruptly, they 'are making. headway toward a cosy "common-law" ,relationship with the Lib-, erals, Hydro 'did • have a 'severe case of the jitters when the Liberal party first took office - however, ,now the "watchdog" committee on Hydro includes two, true blue, former energy ministers, . one as chairman, things appear well under control. Even Premier Peterson soothed some of Hydro's jangling nerves by stating that Darlington may be too close to completion for cancellation to be feasible - an abrupt` • reversal of the Premier's stafement to the Legislature on July 2, "Darlington'will turn, out to be one of the great mistakes that we have made". • A word of warning to 'Ontario Hydro. that comfy old armchair is beginning to show signs of . wear - the springs that, support your hefty weight are starting to groan: • Standard & Poor's Corp., the New York based credit rating agency has put a credit watch on your 510.8 billion debt backed by the Province, • Even your . ally, the Ontario Energy Board, recommended that you raise your 1986 .rate increase to 4.9 per cent to help pay for your heavy • borrowing and. operat- ing costs. • The reportmade to the Select Committee by Cliff Jutlah of the Energy. Ministry, . probably caused some discomfort•, when he. forecasted that ' demand for ' electricity is expected to grow by 2.2 pet cent a year until 'the turn' of the century. The 2.2 per cent, , per annum, growth pattern ' aligns closely with Hydro's low growth scenario, not the medium growth 'scenario for which the proposed M7 transmissionsystem was planned. • Your armchair's biggest spring is about to penetrate the upholstery and stick into Our "derriere". Tension is mounting, and • landowners' are ready to emphatically oppose the previously mentioned M7 • transmission. system at the public hearings in Guelph. . Be warned Ontario Hydro,'due to public pressure, that comfy, old, armchair may soon have to be scrapped, : and• a straight- backed, wooden chair of credibility and accountability will have to pe used.
