i " LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Difference of Dear Sir: 'Re the article "As I See It" in the February 28th edition, as self-professed agnostics we take great offence at Mr. Arnold's. blatant statement that 'kids™ are either atheist _ or Christian, with little or no variance. It sounds, also, as if Mr. Arnold is offended that any young person today happens to be atheistic in his views. People, regardless of age, are entitled to their own beliefs and the tax-payers will, one way or another have to subsidize education: thus there was no justifica- tion" for this unnecessary allusion. Also, Mr. Arnold, in his assumption that Marx is not available to students, dis- Blacksto (continued). cluded a fine day. The Thursday Evening Guild met at the home of Mrs. Neil Bailey on Feb- ruary 22 with 15 ladies present. Our Devotional was led by Elaine Bailey with everyone singing the hymns.

The Local Deanary Meet- ing is to be on April 25 starting at 10 a.m. at St. Johns Church. Elaine served delicious desserts with tea and coffee. Our March meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Lawrence McLaughlin. Happy Hour for the Public School boys and girls continues to be held at the Community Hall in Caesa- rea. Many boys and girls were out last week, -and enjoyed singing choruses, taking part in the Bible Quiz, and they were introduced to TRAVEL NONQUON plays nothing but gross ignorance. Any school lib- rary can be found to contain an edition of 'Das Kapital,' which, in Mr. Arnold's opinion may be 'claptrap,' but to any thinking individu- al is a very. important political theory, as are the theories. of other such notables as Herodotus,Plato, John Stuart Mill, David Thoreau, Adam Smith and Herbert Marcuse. To Ac- knowledge their works does not imply acceptance of their beliefs but does give them the intellectual respect which their works deserve. To say otherwise is a testimony to a lack of intelligence. What in Mr. Arnold's mind ck News "Lennie" the talking doll. Each week there is a flannelgraph story from the Bible, and the children are learning verses from Psalm 103 by means of pictures. We thank all those who use their cars to bring the children from the Blackstock as well as Caesarea area. These servies are sponsored by the Port Perry Baptist Church. C.H.S.

Is it specifically Protestant or specifically (Roman) Catholic with no other theological shadings to act as intermediaries? And who also is to say that because you are a Christian in Port Perry your children must go to school in Oshawa? The whole issue is not really as crucial as Mr.- Arnold has depicted it. In a village the size of Port Perry it simply is not economically feasible to erect schools to cater to people's religious trainings. Pure logic alone tells us this. But, after all, if religion and education are so strangely integrated in some people's minds, then, surely, a little bit of inconvenience in terms of transportation wouldn't be a terribly great sacrifice. So why bother the rest of the populace (regardless of their religious creeds) with these one-sided complaints and with Mr. Arnold's somewhat unknowledgeable 'clap trap' and his equally trivial column?
