F. Smith, moderator of the United Church of Canada, can- flot be left unanswered. This denomination 's hierarchy has always been against the death penalty, except, I would maintain, under its fir- st, biblically oriented, moderator, the Rev. George Pidgeon. The statements that capital punishment is no deterrent, which Mr. Is The Place To Be 7 Days A Week Re3erve now for your Christmas Party TUESDAY NIGHT 2 For The price of 1 DANCE CONTESTS WEDN ESDAY NIGHT Dart Board Night B-52S Lower than 1½ Price DANCE CONTESTS I I FRI & SAT NIGHTS Join the fun with Woody The D.J. Beer & Wine Night SUN DAY NIGHT Beer & Wine Night Smith also tries to sup- port by "statistics" (an overworked word), I would have to caîl wish- fui thinking. More-over, who is to say how many persons have been and will be kept back from murder because of their fearing the consequen- ces. The United Church's head asserting that the state "takes upon itself the penalty of vengean- ce, which is for God alone", is clearly un- scriptural, according to the Old and the New Testament, especially Paul's comment in Romans 13:1-4. As for the objection that violence (by the authorities) is primitive and breeds violence, that kind of reasoning totally disregards the demands of civil, or court justice, which logically supersedes both sentiment and rehabilitation. Finally, the Right Reverend's relîgious argument that we have to forgive 70 times seven and turn the other cheek is not relevant here, ob- viously referring to per- sonal matters. In ef- ficiai cases, - the magistrate acts for society. It should be of interest to learn that at least the following churches favor capital punish- ment: Fellowship Bap- Gospel, Brethen, h tist, Christian Refor- People's (Toronto),J med, Associated Jimmy SwaggartC Reader sayeSsidwl Mvinistries. John Knott (M.A.) Oshawa sno clearing policy is reactionary Dear Sir: I have been following the controversy surrounding the snow removal from the Town of Whitby sidewalks. Your editorial is the best I have read'on this matter to date and I cannot understand any thinking person refusing to incorporate the removal of snow fromn aIl sidewalks. Mayor Bob Attersley is absolutely correct in advocating this policy. Twvo machines and two operators would be suf- ficient to do all Whitby's sidewalks. Would it not be a more economic policy than to pay unemployment insuran- ce? The main thrust of the argument would be that it would protect those persons whether middle aged or elderly who Realtors raise $13,72 7.92 Dear Sir: On behaîf of the Oshawa and District Real Estate Board, I would like to thank you for your co-operation in publicizing the Bowl-A- Thon we sponsored for the Big Sisters Organization. We aimed to accomplish two goals: first and foremose, we wanted to raise money to assist "Big Sisters" in their work. But we also wan- ted to draw attention to the good work that the Big Sisters Organization does in the hopes that more "Big Sisters" would volunteer. We were entirely suc- cessful in accom- plishing our first goal - the Bowl-A-Thon raised $13,727.92 across, the Durham Region. Through the excellent co-operation we received from you, the event and the organization was cer- tainly very well publicized. We appreciate your assistance very much and sincerely thank you for it. Yours sincerely, Anita M. Witty, President. have heart problems. As is well lçnown we see rnany such persons collapsing and dying following an attempt to clear sidewalks following a heavy snow fail. Have we become 50, thoughtless that we do. not care 'about the elderly and the disabled? The next point to con- sider, is could a family bereaved by the.déath of a member through strenuous 1snow shovelllng from the town's sidewalks, sue the town and its coun- cillors., The reactionary policy adopted by coun- cil and I also point a finger at Oshawa, is directed to the elderly, the sick and the disabled. If one is young healthy and can afford to drive, the roads are cleared for them. Lets get back on track and clear ahl public property sidewalks. Keep up the 'good work, Mr. Editor. John D.
