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.

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.
Yours truly,
• Jane Rose, (Mrs.)
