The Goderich Signal-Star, 1987-10-07, Page 5inion rgan•izations sponsoring musicial comedy Dear Editor: We would like your readers to be aware of an event that our two organizations, the Huron County Medical Society and Women Today are co -sponsoring. Bossin's Home Remedy for Nuclear War will appear one night only at the Blyth Memorial Hall on Thursday, Oct. 15 at 8 p.m. This one man musical comedy show is theatre with a definite point of view: anti-nuclear, pro - peace, This will be a lively and enlighten- ing evening far anyone interested in learn- ing more about the issues of peace and nuclear disarmament - while having fun and being entertained. Readers may be curious as to why two quite different organizations would join forces to bring this event to Huron County. LETTERS 1111111111111111111 Both the Medical Society and Women To- day are primarily involved in promoting health and we strongly believe that peace is a health issue. We are supported by the World Health Organization which names peace as a fundamental condition and pre- requisite for health. It is not only the potential total loss of life on the planet that nuclear build up threatens. Our mental health is also af- fected as we face the despair of an uncer- tain future. Women Today and the Medical Society are also both commited to social responsibility. When tax dollars are diverted into nuclear armaments, funds are diverted from the quality medical ser- vices and innovative health promotion ac- tivities that is our work here in Huron County. We also believe that working together peacefully and co-operatively on a local level is one more way of working toward global peace. We invite your readers to participate with us in this endeavour by at- tending Bossin's Home Remedy for Nuclear War. Respectfully, Beth Fulton, President, Women Today Peter Englert, President, Huron County Medical Society Will men be kept only for procreation Dear Editor, Is the Women's Liberation movement biting off,more than they can chew? Will the men have to grow long hair to disguise their sex to qualify for employment? In Iowa they have objected to Men Work- ing signs, saying that they are sexist. They say that the signs should be changed to infer that they should include women or men. I notice that on television now that Jack Ritter, in his role as a detective, or in my opinion, a first-class defective, has a woman superior. We also have on television a heroine. for our children, Sheera, to brain- wash our children. Will we eventually have an Amazon society. where men are kept specifically for procreation purposes or the amusement of the female? In Russia the females are accepted in some forms of manual labor, but they haven't reached the elevation that they have in the U.S. or Canada. When one considers abortion, women have been successful in being judge, jury and council, and also executioner. Do`they really have the ability to merit such action? I don't agree with abortion, unless it is therapeutic, but if they are bound and bent on having one, it should be performed with the professional skill it deserves. They definitely believe in the hereafter - the action -type of hereafter. "You'll be here, little one, after I'm gone." If this is an example of the way they han- dle. problems under pressure, any more freedom that they lobby for should be given with the utmost discretion. They have been responsible for the deaths of 30,000 unborn children in Ontario alone, in one year. If there is not some definite cure discoverd for AIDS, the governments will wish they had intervened in the freedom that women have, to maintain the popula- tion status quo. The freedom women have had in this particufar regard, has resulted -in complete chaos. Sincerely, N.J. Minaker Churches little more than social clubs, reader Dear editor, A. W. Tozer of the Assemblies of God once said "We could not conquer the great god entertainment, so we joined it." He was right you know! Today most of our churches are little more than Social Clubs with the "spirit of the world" atmosphere. Entertaining the congregation with the things of the world rather _than preaching, God's Word. in the • Power.,.and Anointing of the Holy Ghost is the norm. • • Movies, sport activities, baby showers, youth outings, etc., have taken priority over prayer, praise and worship of God. As a' world of lost souls speedily plummets towards a tormenting Hell, some so-called .born again Christians engage themselves in the foolish things of this world. No longer is there a fear of God existing in our churches. Instead we tolerate the devil's music, disguised as contemporary Christian music, allow •the flesh to be flaunted, dress like JezZebel and listen from the pulpit to Chris- tian psychology or witchcraft as it really is. No fear! God would strike us dead if we even tried to bring this damnable trash into the Holy of Holies, yet this is,allowed in the church today: In conclusion Jesus once said `It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves. ( Matt. 21:131"• J'atnieson Hunter Cultural exchange program provides. opportunities Dear editor, Recently I have been made aware of one of the finest opportunities available for youth that I know of.
