change things for
themselves or for others.
But in my view, by far
the majority of the people
will be like I am - groping
for goals, looking for new
and exciting hills to
climb.
+f+
Ask yourself the
questions I've been
turning over in my mind.
If I was to quit work
tomorrow, what would I
do to fill my hours?
Would I have the
resources - physically,
mentally and financially -
to start a new venture?
Would I be willing to give
up anything of what I
have already acquired in
order to pursue a new
goal? Would I be able to
pull up my roots in Huron
County and set out for the.
otherside •of Canada or
perhaps even a new
country to make a dream
come true? Are my
dreams really at-
tainable? Should I opt for
the sure thing? Or should
I risk a little in the hope
that I get lucky?
And there are other
nagging fears. What if
boredom sets in? What if
I am never able to settle
on a new direction? What
if I allow myself to
vegetate - a real danger
for a person like me who
is basically lazy and
content? What if I can
just not motivate myself
to get going toward a new
life in retirement?
I've always been a very
busy person. There has
never been enough hours
in the day to get done all
the things I am com-
mitted to do. Most days I
go flat out on a rigid
schedule from dawn to
dark.
What would happen to
me if I was suddenly
unbusy? Would I ever be
able to find again
something that would
really need me? Would I
ever again be as happy as
I am right at this
moment? .

Sortie companies in
Canada are doing things
to ensure that their
employees don't leave the
regular work -a -day world
without a plan for the
future. Some companies
are assisting their people
to get ready for
retirement.
I think it is a super idea
and in these days of high
living costs, I think it is
imperative that the
planning be started early
so that decisions aren't
hampered by something
as basic as the lack of
adequate financing.
In the mid -forties, I'm
grappling with the
realization that my
career as an active
mother is just about
ended. Oh sure, I can look
forward to weekends and
holidays when the kids
come home. I can even
use some of the hours I
used to spend with my
children in writing let-
ters, making telephone,
calls, baking goodies for
when they come.
But what substitute is
there for the talks we
used to have that just
don't happen any more?
What can make up for the
loss of that feeling that
you are needed by your
kids seven days a week, .
24 hours a day? That's
what I mean by an
"active mother".
+++
Fortunately, I have a
substitute at the present
time. I have a job that
takes most of the energy I
have to give in a day. And
I have a husband and a
son and a home that need
my attention, too.
But I'm really looking
ahead to the day now
when my hours are much
emptier than they are
even now. And I'm
beginning to ask myself,
"What will I do to fill
them? What will I be able
to do that will give me the
kind of satisfaction and
happiness I've enjoyed so
far?"
If you have any ideas,
let me know. It would be
great for somebody who
has the future mapped
out to share some , ideas
with me...and with the
thousands of other people
out there who are just as
dubious about the future
as I am.
And you can bet I'll be
watching the series
planned by Joan Reed
Olsen and the fellows
from TV Ontario. We'll
try to keep yoq, posted
about dates and times.

Representatives from
Zone 3, District A9 of
Lions International at a
meeting in Seaforth
Tuesday night were in-
formed, of a new money -
raising project that will
help handicapped people.
Eric Eastwood of Port
Elgin chairman of the
district handicapped
persons committee
outlined the formation of
P.R.I.D.E". Multicap
Foundation (Productive
Rehabilitation and
Independent Develop-
ment through
Employment).
Established in 1977 to
meet a perceived need of
persons who have the
potential to develop to a
stage beyond the ex-
tensive training received
at vocational
rehabilitation centres, so
that they may live up to
the true level of their
capabilities.
P.R.I.D.E. developed a
IT'S OUR
small shop in June 1978 at
350 Saskatoon Street in
London where physically,
mentally or emotionally
handicapped adults work.
As a start, large plastic
candy canes are
assembled, filled with
candies and prepared for
shipping and in some
cases delivered to an
adult by a handicapped
driver.
The - Lions Clubs of
Multiple District A are
providing the initial
market for the candy
cones which the members
will sell in their in-
dividual areas. Multiple
District A covers Ontario,
parts of Northern Quebec
and Labrador.
The Lions Clubs will
realize a profit and will
supply much needed

Letter
Dear Editor:
In -his dissertation
"Heaven is our eternal
home" the author twice
quotes Jesus' words :"He
that heareth MY word
and 13ELIEVETH ON
HIM THAT SENT ME,
hath everlasting life." In
order to do just that one
must know who the one
who sent Jesus is, would
he not?
So my first question is
WHO SENT JESUS?
He also, states:
"Contrary to what is
believed by many today,
death does not end all.
THE SOUL LIVES ON -
... Some false religionists
teach otherwise. They
refer to those who die as
being "asleep"..." He
also talks about one's
anticipation as being
"Based upon their faith in
God's Holy Word.""
God's Holy Word reads
at John 11:11- - -14: "Our
friend Lazarus
SLEEPETH; but I go
that I may wake him out
of SLEEP. Then said his
disciples, Lord, if he
SLEEP, he shall do well.
Howbeit, Jesus spake of
his DEATH; but they
thought that he had
spoken of taking of rest in
SLEEP. Then Jesus said •
unto them plainly,
Lazarus is DEAD. "Now,
would the author classify
Jesus among "sorne false
religionists?"
And, my concluding
question: What IS the .
soul? - what does the
Bible say it is? In keen
anticipation of BIBLE
answers, not men's
opinions, I remain Sin-
cerely yours C.F. Bar-
ney.
