Society needs help
Dear Editor:
The Huron County Branch
of the Ontario Genealogical
Societyhas their cemetery
recording program under-
way once again.
We attempt to record all of
the information from the
tombstones and prepare a
detailed report of each site
which includes a history, all
data transcribed, and an
alphabetical index of the sur-
names. These reports are
deposited with the main Ar-
chives and are available for
researchers.
However, such a program
is very time consuming and
we need all the local help we
can get! Families are
welcome. We have found
that children of Grade 7
level, or older, are most
useful and willing helpers.
We are planning a
cemetery "picnic" ( weather
permitting) for Sunday,
June 26th at Clinton
cemetery north of .town and
would appreciate local
assistance. We start at 10
a.m. and work through till 4
p.m. and would be glad of,
your help for even a few
hours during the day.
Bring a clipboard and pens
and we will supply any other
items needed. A lunch can be
purchased, if so desired, for
$5. This is a fund-raising ef-
fort and lunch will be served
(smorgasbord) at local
farm house. However, ar-
rangement must be made in
advance by contacting'
Alison Lobb (482-7167) or
Yvonne Porter (524-9022).
This is your opportunity to
get some exercise out of
doors while providthg a
useful service. Come and br-
ing a friend!
Remember - Sunday, June
26 - Clinton Cemetery.
Unlimited hatred
Dear Editor,
Israel's military advance
into Lebanon prompted
much comment . ,what Lie
behind the hatreds that seem
to pervade the Middle'East.
"The great tragedy," ob-
served Dennis Braithwaite
----bftlie-Toi-oritieSCIN:-"iethar
the Israelis and the
Palestinians, both Semitic
peoples' should be warring
at all over territory in which
both are at home and could
logically share in peace." In
Braithwaite's opinion, "all
that really divides them is
religion, the rest is
rationalization, propaganda,
lies ... Take religious
fanaticism out of the
equation, and what .have
Arab and Jew left fight
about?"
But the columnist noted
that religious hatreds are not
limited to the Middle East:
"Observe the insanity in
Northern Ireland, where two
conceptions of the Christian
religion have caused people
who look alike, talk alike and
spring from the same soil, to
lock themselves in a death
struggle that baffles the
• otitSider. Whet but religion`
keeps the IRA and the Ulster
Defence League in constant
plots of assassination and
-reprisaleelehea---theyre-4ne-
terviewed on television, you
can't tell one from the
other."
Braithwaite went on to
state that "religion is but one
form of nationalism, the
concept of 'them' and 'us' ...
the greatest threat of all to
mankind's future." Is it not
likely that this awareness of
religion as a "threat" will
continue to grow and finally
bring upon her the anger of
the nations? Bible prophecy
bears out that militaristic
nations soon will turn
against religion and destroy
her like a hated harlot who
has taken advantage of them
for too long. (Revelation 17)
In all sincerity,
C.F. Barney

My main opinional Misgiv-
ings of the past akkrrecent

with hospital closures in 'Wu

Bureaucratic officials 'are
advancing into an already
open ,political arena
as frontmen for even more
beauraucratic positions
wherever they may open
them up. Do we need more
money -throwing gestures in
the similar fashion as the 45
million of government funds
sunk into the. Miriaki lodge-,
them in provincial parks and
seasonal retreats.
Another alternative, past
proposed- by die ministry

considered , moving Ontario

appears whimsical. Rather
they would find, that putting

of windows is viable as a

add that if they do so; please
leave a small workshop for
Oast -patients of -the

Election issues aside,
feel that some Pepe of con-
crete planning , should be
utilized for major
hospitalization alterations as
in the caseof, the BluewaterCentre, which, is slated for
complete closure as of Nove
17th, 1983. This I may add is
a backlash on defined policy
trends formulated during the
productive sixties, that have
entrenched Oven now,

as the Bluewater Centre,
which was built in the late
60's.
