One could call it goodness or humanism .. orhaving a, social conscience. I like to think it is Christianity in action. Elizabeth Schroeder ¥ ¥ Dear Sir: I would like to make a few comments concerning your article in this week's issue of the "Times" and your unfair criticism of Mr. Hull. i arrived at the Sport- smen's Dinner early, and the. only participant present was Mr. Hull. standing at the door greeting and chatting with people as they came in and he remained there until the din- ner started. l did not see you anywhere. l found Mrhull very friendly and outgoing. and if he was equipped with "an ego that leads him to believe his mere presence is worth the price of admission", he didn't express it to me or the dozens of other people that he talked to. I feel sorry for you that Mr. Hull and other guests speakers didn't meet your ex- pectations, but they are pro- fessional athletes, not per- formers or professional speakers. It made me feel a little bet- ter that there were other ar- ticles in the ''Times" that were positive, and over- shadowed your negative attitude. I read your editorial every week, and jn my humble opi- nion, it at times leaves a lot to .be desired.. As far as the Sportsmen's Dinner. you should try putting principles before personalities.

Thank God for the Bobby Hulls ofthis country. Quite frankly, Mr. Editor, if you were the guest speaker at a Sportsmen•'s Dinner, I doubt very much if many people would show up. ' Bob Duder, Huron Park. * * ¥ Sir: — With referencetoyour arti- cle of February16, 1983, ntitl- ed "To Discuss Nuclear Energy", I submit the follow- ing clarification of my intend- ed role in the proposed infor- mation night. I agreed to participate as " one who has had some very limited first hand experience working in the nuclear power industry during the past year. That was my only intent: I do not and I could not represent Ontario Hydro, nor do I represent its viewpoint except in so far as my per- sonal views may coincide with it. It would b presump= tuous and irresponsible of me to pretend otherwise. It is un- fortunate that your reported did not contact me to confirm my role. Had she done so this inaccuracy which is embar- rassing to me and to Ontario Hydro would. not have been printed. Furthermore, the title of the article implies that nuclear energy is to be discussed. The cont t of the article states tha nuclear arms and the d' mament question are a topics of discussion. in this latter con- text i am no more qualified to participate as a panel member than any other member of the public. in fact I am certain that many local' citizens are more qualifii d than i am.

Add one train- ed nursery school teacher. Result? Tangled toddlers. Controlled chaos. Methodical muddle. That is the scene /during free play time at the Sunshine Cooperative Preschool Nursery four mornings each week. The nursery was set up six years ago in facilities rented from the • Exeter United Church on' James Street. The present -teacher. Ruth Mercer, was hired a year later. The parents of tti J7 youngsters enrolled this y take their turns, usually once a month. helping out. Each child attends two of the four morning sessions, where the time is divided bet- ween free play, painting and crafts, a theme circle and a nutritious snack provided by the volunteer mothers. Mrs. Mercer, whose Early Childhood Education cer- tificate was obtained after two year's study at a com- munity college, explained that the children are also taken on field trips to places like the police and fire sta- tions, the hospital, an apple orchard and a farm. She par- ticularly remembers two queries prompted by the sight of a row of Holsteins: where was the cows' bathroom, and which ones gave chocolate milk? Ruth believes the main goals of a preschool nursery are to make what is usually a youngster's first venture away from home and family a positive experience, to assist children to socialize with their peers. and to teach them to accept authority from persons other than their parents. Three-year-old Jenny Mercer attends the nursery. Mrs. Mercer laughingly con- ceded Jenny obeys Ruth the teacher at the ,school with much greater zeal than she does Ruth the mother at home. The Sunshine nursery, through its membership in the London Cooperative Coun- cil, has access to a recently hired resource teacher. Special procedures could be set up for a child with a mild physical handicap (such as a hearing problem) who would benefit from integration in a nursery school program. The visit the home to give the resource teacher would also parents extra assistance.

Mary's musings By Mary Alderson her homework on Canada. and had some good ideas about our problems, too. The convention at which she was speaking, was held in Win- • nipVist a' week after the Pr reConservative : convention. She pointed out that in many ways Joe Clark was like Ronald Reagan. Their parties are so full of splinters that they can't get together to form a plank. And each splinter thinks that Goss gave him the truth: At another point. she men- tioned that she had noticed a particular man who was very attractive and good looking. When someone in the au- dience snickered, she responded. "Just because I'm on a diet. doesn't mean 1 can't' look at the menu." Sister Bertels is . very . in- volved with two groups in 1►ie United States and she hopes that their memberships will • extend into Canada. She is very pro capitalism and sup- • portive of the free enterprise system, and she says it is high time that farmers started to get fair pay for their produce. The two groups she is work- , ing with are: AmericanAgri- Women, and WIFE ( Women Involved in Farm Economics). She believes that. the answer to 'the farmers' problems lies with those two groups. Why'.' Well. because she thinks that .the wojnen. will get sornething .• done. - She points out that it is women who control the .de -• mand for food because they do the majority of the grocery shopping. Women are quick to detect changes ip trends and tastes and therefore, they should move to the forefront. Women are great organizers. .For years now. women have' . been organizing the churches and charities. With that ex- perience. they should be able to take over other organiza- tions. The devil, she says. •doesn't want women in hell. because they would get rid of chaos. Women. she points out. are goal conscious. If someor?e1 . comes up with a new,idea, .. men will have 95 reasons why " it won't work..but women will fight for it. Women Make the best lob- byists. She says they can manage their time better. and. when.they-have a cause. they • don't let go. A woman fighting for a'cause can't be brushed 017.• • . .And she says. women will succeed .because they are power hungry. •As proof of That she cites that she is liv- ing in a convent of all women, and "it ain't peaceful!" She continues that women are no longer an auxiliary to men's groups. "If you want someone. to pour your coffee. hire them and pay thein to d it." she " says. She is convince 'that throughthese women's organizations she can gel farmers the recognition they have long deserved. And just to give you an idea of what a powerful speaker she was. she said all these things to a room filled with men. and had them all standing up and cheering and clapping for her! r-, WOOD STOVES Talk to us about the high technology stoves by: Lakewood; RSF Energy; SFS 3 Boilers; Heritage; Better 'N Ben's —REDUCE CREOSOTE jin any airtight stove with the CATALYTIC DAMPER Results will amaze you Available at THE COLLECTOR'S SHOP Kirkton 229.8965 The energy saving products store
