At odds with Knell Il you drink don't drive By BETTY-JEAN BLYTH Call 655-3679 with Items for this column Every year sometime around the end of Novem- ber at our house a sheet of paper neatly ruled into columns, one for each family member, appears on the refrigerator door. It is put there by one of the three people in the family who for years have been waging a futile ware to bring some order into our chaotic lives. You sec, I am one of those people who can never get inspiration or motivation until I'm right down to the wire. In fact there's a motto on my kitchen wall that says "If it wasn't for the last minute nothing would ever get done". My one superstition is that if I plan things too far ahead, they never live up to my expectations. These other members of the clan on the other hand, deplore spontaneity. They think that anything planned less than six months in advance is doomed to fail - but I'm digressing. The sheet of paper in question is put there so that each of us can jot down what we'd like for Christ- mas. Actually it first appeared around September one year but when it kept disappearing and having to be replaced, the author makes a concession to the family slobs and brings it out nearer the fateful day. Some of the columns are immediately filled and some even have appendages added but my column is always woefully short. This is not because there aren't plenty of things I'd like and not even that I prefer to be surprised on Christmas morning, it's because whenever I do think of something I can never find a pen or pencil. Of all the things that con- .tinually do a disappearing act around' our place, pens seem to do it best. I suppose what I really should ask for this year is a gross or two of the darn things or maybe just one of those that come with a string so that I can hang it around my neck and I will if I can just find something in the meantime with which to put it on my list. NEW YEAR'S DANCE There's not much time left to pick up your tickets for the dance at the Legion on New Year's Eve. It promises live music by Black Diamond and a buffet supper for a mere $30 per couple. That's a real bargain these days especially when its close enough to home that you can either walk there afterward or get a cab for a reasonable rate. CHRISTMAS RAFFLE Brooklin Association of Brownies, Guides and Pathfinders are offering a delicious Gingerbread House as a prize. It is currently on display at the Pharmacy in Brooklin and tickets are available there as well. This would make a perfect centre piece for your Yuletide table or a wonderful gift for the grandchildren. The proceeds go for needed camping equipment for the girls so be sure to pick up your tickets right away as there are only a limited number of them. The draw will take place on Dec. 21. For more information contact one of the following - Maureen Curley at 655-8756, Susan McGooey at 655-8004 or Linda Tripp at 655-4993. LIBRARY NEWS Holiday hours at the library will be as follows: Dec. 24 - 2 to 5 p.m. Dec. 25 and 26 - closed. Dec. 27 and 28 - Regular hours. Dec. 31 - 2 to 5 p.m. Jan. 1 - Closed.

I'd like to remind alt.my readers that the true spirit of Christmas doesn't come in a bottle but if you must imbibe, please stay off the roads so that you and yours can have a really Merry Christmas. To the Editor: For some time now, I have read this man's opinions which he - Through the Power of the Press - continually forces on people who read this newspaper. Mr. Knell continually blames all the world's problems on God, this same God that he professes to believe in himself. Through religion, he blames God, all the while admitting that he doesn't know what he is talking about, but making authorative deductions of what he calls fact, from his own brand of fantasy. If Mr. Knell had any knowledge of the Gospel, he would know that it's not God or Jesus that has caused the problems in this world, but man himself, and the one man sulD- mits his will to. (see Ephesians 6:12) Man, like yourself Mr. Knell, does whatever he wants, and when there's a "problem" he just claims to be doing God's work - I wonder who his God is? Man himself is never wrong - of course. "Not everyone who calls me Lord will enter the Kingdom of Heaven." Jesus said. Just because someone calls himself a Christian, doesn't mean that he is, Sir. This goes for any profession, fanatics are found in every walk of life. Con- sider, Mr. Knell, that your "opinions" - so ex- Speakers lined up man of Magna Corp which Mr. Newman said did over $1 ½ billion in business last year. For the organization's March 27 meeting, Bill Boggs, president and chairman - of de Havilland Aircraft of Canada will be the speaker. Mr. Newman anticipated the March meeting would be par- ticularly interesting given the recent sale of de Havilland to the Boeing Corporation. General Motors of Canada president John Smith was the speaker at the association's inaugural meeting and according to Mr. Newman, Mr. Smith delivered a strong en- dorsement of the new association and its mandate.

At Monday's meeting, Drumm urged council to make sure that Nichol Ave. gets traffic lights at Thickson Rd. when the latter road is widened to four lanes next year. The widening of Thickson Rd. is on the region's public works agenda for 1986. Students at Anderson Collegiate got a sharp message about the consequences of impaired driving last week when the Durham Regional Police came to the school to deliver a presen- tation on the subject. Wendy Crawford (left seated ) was 19 years old when a collision with an impaired driver left her a quadrapalegic for life. Wendy is seen here with police Constables Nancy Dillon and Peter Wraight, Peter Studnicki, president of the student's council and Millie Minas, president of Anderson's athletic association. Free Press Staff Photo pressed - are in a srnall way (proportionatly speaking) similar to the Pope, or anyone else who sits in a position of authority, whether that authority is real or im- plied. May I suggest that you study your Bible, Mr. Knell, and maybe you will come to an un- derstanding of, and with God. Then, Sir, you may come to an understan- ding of the truth. Then, maybe, you will put the blame where it belongs. You may not be so popular then, but you will be writing the truth. In particular, Sir, may I suggest that you read the last half of the From page 12 eighth chapter of the Gospel of John, if nothing else. I personally feel, Mr. Knell, that you have one very large problem, and you yourself said it in the last sentence of your article, may I quote - "I really don't think". You said this in a very different context than I have related it, and this should explain to you what I mean. I do, however, believe that you do not understand what you are doing/saying, and are therefore writing inac- curacies. With all due respect, D, Maxwell, Whitby.
