The Goderich Signal-Star, 1978-08-17, Page 5coo - Lawn bowling Dear Editor: I moved to Goderich in 1970, built a house and have enjoyed living here since_ Haae had 14 years in Toronto, now like the nice quiet town of Goderich on the beautiful Lake Huron. I had two months of bowling in 1916, now I like it so much this will be my second year with the club_ Nice people are a credit to the town_ There is a tot of hard work put into the grounds to keep them nice, by the members,which is mostly volunteer_ You have every other sport in the paper, but very little on the lawn bowling Maybe we lone! report it enough? I remain, Walter T. Cooper Trudeau disaster Dear Editor, Churchill when leading the Allies to victory referred to Charles de Gaulle as his greatest cross to bear. Canada's greatest cross to bear in her history is Pierre Trudeau_ Psychologically and economically, he has so weakened Canada in 10 years that it will take generations to recover. As was to be expected in .19 an arrogant in- tellectual with inherited wealth and 'lacking _ in senior managerialand Dear Rea * from page 4 eagerness of the big city media to come to small towns for the juicy bits to spice up their news budgets_ Keith led off, of course, talking about the publicity Huron County is getting over the ''dirty" books issue. "About the last time this area got so much attention was with the Stephen Truscott case," wrote Keith_ "In between of course,' we've made interesting copy for arena closings, hospital clogings, school closings, because of teachers' strikes and the odd winter storm when everything was closed." Keith also pointed out that while the big city boys were interested in the rural headaches over arena closures, nobody paid much attention to the real story - the happy, inspiring story of people working together and showing all the.... best qualities of rural lifestyle, to rebuild the arenas_ Of coursei anyone who follows Blyth theatre at all, will know that Keith is heavily involved with that group. Keith has written a couple of ex- cellent plays which have pleased Blyth theatre audiences last year and this year. That could account for the fact that Keith also wrote in his recent article these true words: "And while the big city media was interested enough to descend on Huron County in droves when they could poke fun at the' backyard locals for their lack of sophistication over the book debate no one seems interested in the fact that NEAR EDITOR administrative ex- perience would be totally unsuited to manage ef- ffectively the Canadian economy_ His legacy is uncontrolled and wasteful spending in every field, a huge bureaucracy, inflation and worst of all a lack of faith in Canada's future_ By action and`deed he has effectively discouraged all those people and companies who invest m our economy, who create jobs and who make a country prosperous_ The Federal Liberal Party has stayed in power most of the last 60 years only because it has protected its political base in Quebec at all costs Even in the Second or ar our overseas Arany was willfully weakened by MacKenzie King rather than displease Quebec and enforce conscription. And Mr. Trudeau's Bilingual Policy is simply a con- tinuation of this political policy. The French population as a percentage of the population of Canada and North America is and will continue to decline_ Likewise, the usage of the French language will decline_ A pocket of French in Quebec can never give an opportunity to most Canadians to use or to speak the French language. Logistics make it impossible_ At the most the French language will be spoken by English speaking Canadians, as a ders..... tiny, backward, redneck Huron County also supports two professional theatres and has been the birthplace for many writers and artists who rank among the tops in their fields in the nation." "While the travel budgets are plenty free when a newspaper wants to send a reporter to cover the book debate, suddenly when it comes time to send a reviewer from the Globe or one of the other big city papers to cover a locally written and produced play, there just isn't enough money or enough time, or enough space," writes Keith_ How true. Reminds me of Goderich town council chambers where someone had posted a full-page story a year or so ago on the salt industry in this town, I believe it was Council members seemed to be awe struck by the worthof this story from one of the Toronto papers, commenting on the excellent exposure it gives to Goderich. And while that may be true, few people are much impressed by the job done week in and week out by the local paper to promote the community, covering the good and the bad, telling the whole story and giving credit where credit is due. As one reporter put it when he viewed the posted item from the Toronto paper in town council chambers' "They , must have had a slack day for news.,The next time they'll bback is when some guy chops up his wife and six kids and feeds them to the pigs."

The present Federal Bilingual Policy for the Civil Service, publications, labels, etc. is purely a political play. It is an attempt to mislead French Canadians and it has only antagonized English Canadians. And true to form the Liberal Party has failed to protect the .rights of the English Language in Quebec rather than erode its political base. There is no hope for Canada's unity under such a Liberal Party. as we have had for 60 years. As for Mr. Trudeau, he is a wily and convincing ... pe;r_.son._who.has_pn' nsely..... misled Canadian voters several times during the east 10 years. He is simply a leader not to be trusted_ He has 'falsely claimed to have wrestled inflation to the ground to have opposed price and wage controls and tp have brought his government spending"Under control_ As to the silly remark who, could have' done better, I say who could have done worse. As a Prime Minister and as a leader Mr. Trudeau has been a disaster. And to make matters worse many voters de not realize that he'is. more of a Socialist 'at heart than he is a Liberal. C. Hillmer, Oakville Blueprint Dear Editor, In her letter of Aug. 3, Jeannie Seddon described religion as: "the most interesting and maligned subject of our time." She also speaks of "God's blueprint for the promised day of peace." At the same time she inadvertently admits:. "when God sees " fit to send His word to us we scorn that word..." God's Word which we have had in English since the 15th century clearly indicates that there are and have been since creation, true and false religion, as illustrated in the account of the sacrifices of Cain and Abel. (Genesis 4:3-5). But, of course, the United Church says that these first few chapters of Gensis are "mythical and allegorical"! However, Jesus, in answering a question about divorce, said; "Did you not read that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female and said; ..."Then Jesus quoted from Genesis 2:25. We can be assured then, that Jesus and his followers accepted the Bible as inspired and reliable. Such acceptance is an important distinguishing mark of Eight hundred "years before sending His Only - begotten Son to earth to give his human life as a ransom for man, Jehovah inspired Isaiah to speak of the peace and security which would be brought about by the Kingdom which Jehovah would establish with the glorified. Christ as its Ruler. (Isaiah 9: 6,7) That Kingdon, advocated by all true Christians, is the ONE HOPE for future peace and security, God's "blueprint". Sincerely yours, C: F. Barney Jesus and when God also stated "This its my beloved Son"," Paul gave, us that beautiful benediction: "The grace - of our Lord Jesus Chrint, the love of God, and communion of the Holy Ghost be with you all" John, being in the Spirit on the Lord's Day a d calling on seven a c- casions to the churches; to heed what the Spirit was telling them, mentioning also the Faithful Witness (Jesus Christ), and also God the Father. Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life, no man cometh unto the Father but by Me". Worshipping God in Spirit and in Troth is not hard to understand. It's similar -to-•the-4/sal s•t's.-words-._ "Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness"." One must get right with God, follow and abide in Christ, and walk in the Spirit if he would worship God acceptably. In other words Jesus in coun- selling the woman of Samaria bid her turn from idol worship and her sinful way of life, and acknowledge Him as Saviour and Lord who only giveth the spiritual drink of eternal life, and continue on living for God which she did willingly and joyfully. Thus quickened by the Holy Spirit she then knew of the. rewarding act of true Explanation worshi p.

I refer to the precious doctrine. of the Holy Trinity. As for the essence of the Trinity no human can explain such an infinite title.

In the beginning ,the plural, • form' was used when God said, "Let US make man in our image and in the image of God made He man." At Jesus' baptism the trinity. was mentioned.

A few days later when I was in Wingham, I went into the office of the Ministry of Natural Losing beach Resources. They told me Dear Editor, I am writing this letter to ask t'e question: Are we, the public, losing our rights to use the public beaches of Lake Huron? We, as a family, have enjoyed the use of the public beach for the past 20 years. We have en- joyed swimming, cam- pfires, and toasting marshmallows on warm summer nights. We have always dowsed our fires and left the beach clean --`a nneenint ally-firicT�ii ':`"........_. This suddenly seemed to come to an abrupt end a week or so ago as we went again to the beach. We had just gotten to our favorite spot when we were confronted by a cottage owner and his wife who very promptly .asked.. ustoleave their property. , We had seen a couple of signs a few weeks before stating that the beach along Lake Huron was public beach • up to the high water line. These signs have now been destroyed by vandals. We told the cottage owner that we thought, according to the sign, this beach was public up to the high water line but they said the high water -line --wase-not - -along the bank. When we offered to move a little further one way, they said that was no use as there were several more cottages along there. Not wishing to argue and not knowing for sure the facts, we moved a little bit but our Won't you Please put. �ut your .okl newsp'apers'?
