Home Newspaper of Halton Hills Established A Division of Canadian Newspapers Company Limited Guelph Street Georgetown Ontario GARNET Publisher and General Manager DAVE Editor Phone J STEVEN AN Advertising Manager Wednesday Forgive dont forget The Holocaust was of the ugliest moments in history It doesn t deserve be forgotten But turning back to events over years ago re kindle bitter memories The study in Georgetown of the Holocaust is an emo tional issue Students at Georgetown District High School will learn about the death camps of Hitler Germany They will learn about the slaughter of innocent Jews during the war How important is it to teach about these events Men such as Ernst Zundel and James Keegstra show us why we must continue to remember the Holocaust Both were accused and convicted recently of spreading lies and hatred against the Jews in Canada Alberta teacher James Keegstra went as far as telling his students the Holocaust did not occur Students need to discuss important historic events with all the facts so they can make their own educated deci sions They will find there is no logic in racial hatred only fear and anger used by the ignorant as an emotional release Racial hatred is a person s escape from his or her short comings When discussing the Holocaust people must remember it was a government a dictator who gave the order to ex terminate Jews German citizens were either unaware of Hitler s orders or powerless to stop them By studying the Holocaust caution must be placed not to paint all German people as mass killers Forty years is a long time to hate and a long time to be burdened with the guilt of a nation Forgive but don forget Major turning point An announcement Sunday was a significant turning point for Scotsdale Farm The Ontario Heritage Foundation and the Heritage Horse Park Corporation told about a proposal for a horse park on the 540acre site Bequeathed to the people of Ontario through the OHF Scotsdale is still waiting for a principal user It was first suggested the Halton Board of Education take on major responsibilities at Scotsdale for an outdoor education site That idea never got off the ground and the OHF is still pondering the site future Bu what is significant about the Sunday announcement is that the Heritage Horse Park Corporation will be given the go ahead to commission a feasibility study The study will look at how the Corporation could turn the site into a full time horse park open to the public The Heritage Horse Park Corporation a volunteer profit group was formed recently with the intention of making Scotsdale into a horse park The study will be paid for by the horse park corporation We re happy at the OHF change of heart A consul report for the OHF played down the use of the million site as a horse park For the town a horse park will be an exciting draw for locals and tourists It will bring people to Halton Hills and do its part to highlight our rich rural heritage We think Stewart and Bennet would be happy if they knew their property was in the hands of The Heritage Horse Park Corporation Corporation members and followers are intensely motivated in their aim to promote a horse park and to preserve the rural Scotsdale site Every woman needs an extra man Every woman should have an ex man about the house 1 speak from experience three months worth Setrak joined

reserves the right lo edit all to length good taste and possibly libelous material Mulroney clearly showing courage By STEWART Ottawa Bureau of The Herald Prime Minister Mulroney Is often accused of not having a discernible direction or agenda Yet few other prime ministers have staked Iheir futures on such dicey issues When he decided tp pursue a free- trade deal with the united States the prime minister knew the risks would be enormous After such a build up failure would not be easy to explain To a lesser degree the same goes for his proposed overhaul of our tax system But perhaps the greatest risk of oil Is in his declared goal of getting Quebec signature on ihe Constltu Hon something that Pierre was unable to do when the accord was reached In 1981 Success is by no means assured and should the attempt end in failure Mr political for tunes in Quebec already sagging could well collapse He Is clearly showing courage Us true the lime has never been more opportune for reaching a constitutional agreement with Quebec Not only has Mr Mulronev made significant progress In his national reconciliation but Quebec now Is represented by a Liberal government with a declared dedication to federalism Furthermore most provincial premiers seem prepared to make concerted effort lo bring Quebec into Ottawa Report fold BIG SNAG The big snag of course Is Premier Robert s pro posal for changing the ground rules for any future constitutional amend What he wants Is an effective veto for his province And to achieve this he is proposing that instead of constitutional amendments the approval of Ottawa and seven provinces representing per cent of Ihe people the percentage be raised to per cent This means that any changes could be blocked by Quebec or On tarlo acting alone or by any three western provinces acting together An existing clause requiring the ap proval of least one Atlantic pro vince Mr also proposes there be some provincial powLr over immigration along with some input into Supreme Court appointment He wants compensation from town for opting of federal pro grams It contentious veto issue that will cause the greatest ly And no one knows this better than Sen Lowell Murray the man doing the preparatory work or Ihe prime minister The low key bilingual senator will have his In a recent Interview with a Quebec newspaper Sen Murray said there is a great deal of fatigue In English Canada with the whole bloody subject of constitutional negotiate He also SLUMP HERE fiS THE WEST IS YEAH BUT BANKRUPTCY LAWYER the political problem facing the government lhat if this becomes the centrepiece of our this fall and winter people will think we re back on Pierre agenda So the Mulroney Murray strategy is to keep the preliminary off the political stage until there Is a clear indication of success This means that Sen Murray will be flitting back and forth between pro vincial capitals without fanfare or in most cases comment But with 11 governments Involved in the negotiations it virtually im lo stifle talk and in all pro- ability high expectations The prime minister seldom at a loss for words Is Inclined to express op timism about most of his Initiatives The risks ore great not for the Mulroney government political fortunes but also for federal provincial relations It seems safe to assume that the negotiations fail relations between Quebec and the other provinces ore bound lo ex a setback Crucial talks Tike this can be simply opened and shut without lingering effects But success would also have long laslng effects And ll Mr Mulroney credit that he willing to take a shot achieve it He could Just as easily have let the matter Halton s History from our files Telephone is very strange By Oil Herald Special The telephone is very strange It can be very helpful in many and does save a lot of time if used properly But it is not really a very personal way to communicate A letter Is better We can plan what to say and how to it do not have any immediate feed back from the other person But can be exact and clear Facetoface speaking is also bet ter It Is as immediate as the telephone but there is so much feed back to go on Facial expressions and a thousand other help us reach the other per son see how well we are doing so On the telephone we cannot plan as well as on paper and we do not have the visual signals we have In person The telephone highlights the difficulty of all human lion Can we really be sure that the I unders The some dangers exist with the other forms of communication But the telephone mokes them more parent than ever We must face the fact that we as human beings arc limited in our Clergy Comment ability to communicate with others and to receive nidi Ion from them This limitation is one of the biggest factors in the fed of loneliness That is where communication God can be helpful can talk lo God in prayer tic hears all prayers that ore offered in Jesus name that is out of faith in Christ And we can read God Word in the When wc express ourselves to God or even before we do ho we know that God understands all about us Head Psalm God knows everything about us our hearts our thoughts our words His ding is not limited bj our inability to communicate He knows us inside and out God the Son understands also because He has been through It all He has experienced human life He is God but also Man He knows human feelings and human sufferings The difference is that Hem sinned That that God knows all i bout our sinfulness our sinful thoughts words and There Is no use to hide anything from God There is no use trying to avoid Him or escape from Him Should we then be afraid God not only hears but also speaks He has spoken in Word He is the perfect Com He can gel through to us with His powerful Word His book is not dark or obscure It Is the clearest and mosi brilliant book ever The main message of the Bible speaks to our sinfulness not to con demn but to forgive Central to the Bible Is the Gospel of Jesus Christ the message of forgiveness and salvation because Jesus died on the cross for our sins That Word removes our of God The Bible Is God letter us The Holy Spirit enlightens to understand it And ihe Holy Spirit gives the thai believes and receives the Biblical message Communication Is difficult for us but not for God 30 years ago YEARS AGO Confllc ting figures list Georgetown population
