1988 Citizen of the Year
celebrates 90th birthday
WMS welcomes 2 guests to meeting
<ne Cranbrook WMS meeting
was held on the second Tuesday in
October at the home of Mrs. Stuart
Stevenson with nine members and
two visitors in attendance.
Mrs. Leslie Knight was leader for
the Thanksgiving worship and gave
chosen readings from the Psalms.
Mrs. Knight gave selected verses
from Psalm 95, 105 and 136. From
these selections we are taught the
beauty of the earth, the glory of
creation and the bountiful blessings
from God. We must be grateful and
thankful for all God's gifts so freely
given to us.
Hymn 567 Come Ye Thankful
People Come was sung and
scripture was taken from the
Psalms. The leader then offered
prayer followed by The Lord's
Prayer repeated in unison. The
singing of hymn 365 O Lord of
Heaven and Earth and Sea ended
this portion of the meeting.
A protest on Bay Street
Continued from page 4
comer of Bay and King Street in
Toronto. While we are watching
our kids' education be jeopardized
the bankers, currency and stock
speculators call the shots. Let's take
the protest to the real power and the
real beneficiaries of this
government. Anyone interested?
Give me a call.
Yours sincerely,
Tony McQuail.
THE EDITOR,
When you evaluate the "literary"
genre produced by the pen of R. L.
Stine and others like him, it is not
difficult to understand why many
parents are concerned about their
inclusion in the public school
library budget. These parents agree
that while it is important that their
children learn to read, what they
read is more important.
R. L. Stine employs a technique
known as shock fiction. Stine has
his characters tortured, killed and
gruesomely handled, all in vivid
images of boiling blood, mutilated
bodies, etc. These images produce
a 'physical shock' response in the
reader, which obviously many
readers, judging from sales
numbers, enjoy. They enjoy the
vicarious experience of violence. Is
this enjoyment of reading violence
something we want to encourage in
our children?
Censorship is a reality we live
with. We limit, we restrict, we
censor what our children eat, what
they buy, what they wear. Why not
what they read? We never say, "Let
Johnny drink vodka, at least he’s
drinking." We want what is best for
our children, so we censor.
In the realm of literature we want
truth, beauty, discoveries of a wider
world, literary excellence,
characters worthy of modelling, all
of which the Stine books are sadly
lacking in.
Does this mean we should censor
the Stine books? Of course we
should. If censorship means that we
as Canadian taxpayers want our
librarians and other school officials
to weed out the trash and to spend
their precious dollars on real books,
we’re all for it.
And we hope you are too.
Peter and Judith Vellenga.
THE EDITOR,
Understanding and support are
essential components in establish-
President, Brenda Perrie called
for the secretary to read the
minutes, take roll call and handle
the correspondence. Mrs. Jack
Knight, treasurer, gave a report.
Mrs. Stewart Steiss recorded 18
visits and five cards sent to shut-
ins. Mrs. Harvey Smith reminded
all that it was time for the renewal
of the Glad Tidings.
Mrs. Eunice Bisset a retired
minister's wife from Goderich,
brought greetings from the
Presbytery. Mrs. Bisset gave a
review of a book written by June
Stevenson, who writes monthly in
the Glad Tidings.
The ladies planned their annual
Ham Supper to be held in
Cranbrook Hall on Nov. 13. The
Stratford Huron Presbytery will
hold a meeting in Knox Church
Cranbrook on Nov. 19 and the
ladies made catering plans for this
meeting.
— if you’re interested
ing working peer support groups.
The consumer initiative has esta
blished five peer support groups in
Huron County. These groups offer
support, encouragement, friendship
and leisure opportunities to those
with mental health problems.
Bringing these groups together is
our next step.
Anyone who is experiencing
mental health issues can support
the continuation of these groups
through their presence. You will
gain friendship, a sense of belong
ing and self esteem as you support
others.
The community can help
decrease stigma by developing an
awareness of mental health and an
appreciation of wellness through
literature and direct contact.
By understanding how difficult it
is for these people to feel empow
ered, we can help consumers
believe in themselves by promoting
the work of mutual aid in their own
recovery.
If you want to offer your service
as a volunteer or if you know
someone with mental health
problems, please refer them to the
consumer group in their area. There
is no cost to join and if transporta
tion is a problem, we will arrange a
way to get you there.
You do not have to experience
isolation and loneliness. There are
people who care how you feel.
Take risk ... reach and offer your
presence, understanding and support.
Your "helping hands" support
can be given by volunteering your
time to these groups.
Groups are located at Wingham,
