one .thing :public schools do
not offer.
He said the independent
school is not an attack on
society', nor is it attempting
to divide the community.
"We are doing things in the
name of Christ, not trying to
separate us from the com-
munity."
Mr. Guldemonuggested
many people might view the
school as a means of dividing
the community and Mill not
understand what the . dif-
ference is between it and the
public schools. He assured
the crowd these concerns
can be eliminated simply by

PARENTS' CONTROL --Adrian . Guldemond, execu-
tive director of the Ontario Alliance of Christian
Schools, was the guest speaker at the official opening
ceremonies" for the Lucknow and District Christian
School. Mr. Guldemond stressed Christian Teachings;
at the school and parents° control of the curriculum.
sH
that showing a good example
is the best policy for ex-
plaining what the school is
all about. "We show through
our respect of property,
teachers and parents, our
belief in learning the
scriptures, and encourage-
ment toward the develop-
ment of strong moral
character that we are com-
mitted to a course ofstudy
with a 'Christian per-
spective." .
The school began as a
society in 1966 which pro-
vided Christian emphasis
classes on Saturday mor
nings. Ten years later it was
decided that a full-time day
school should be provided fin.o
those who wanted it.
A 71/2 -acre parcel of land,
just outside Lucknow on
Highway 86, was purchased
in September, 1978. Con-
struction of the four -class-
room building began in the
spring of 1979.
The building and all school
materials are funded
completely by the parents
and . private donations.
Together with this, parents
who send ,their, children. to_
Christian {schools must:also
pay public school taxes..
Mr. ,Guldemond explained
many people feel that
private schools offer better
education. As a result a
group of Christian schodl
sympathizers tried to pay
separate school taxes two
years ago. The government
soon put a stop to that by
proclaiming that only
Catholics could pay separate
school taxes.
Nevertheless private
schools'are being considered
seriously, said. Mr.
Guldemond, adding that
three more Christian schools
will be opening in Ontario
this year.

Craft program
in need of
donations
The Jack Reavie Oppor-
tunity Workshop, its craft
program brought to a stand-
still by a minor catastrophe,
is appealing to the public for
donations of articles to get it
going again. , -
An advertisement in this
week's Advance -Times lists
items the workshop trainees
need `for their popular crafts.
Many of the items are
simple household articles,
such as. empty plastic bot-
tles, which people would just
throw away, Workshop
Manager Connie Jamieson
noted, adding they would be
"more than glad" to pick up
donated articles.
A leaky roof and a heavy
rainstorm early last month
combined to flood the base-
ment of the John Street
workshop, where the raw
materials for ` the crafts
program were stored, and by
the time the damage was
discovered most items were
beyond salvage.
The roof, is fixed now, she
reported, but they aren't
taking any chances and have
their things stored up on.
tables just in case.
The workshop is hoping for
a good response to its appeal,,
enabling it to prepare for its
annual December crafts sale
which raises money for its
programs.
The Reavie workshop
provides training in crafts
and living skills for mentally
retarded adults around this
area:
