was mm yv iwwuyitzHTIOd gt do Barrie Examiner Published by Canadian Newspapers Company Limited 16 Bayfield Street Barrie Ontario ELlO AGOSTINI Publisher and General Manager letters to the editor Personal dislikes likened to sins Dear Sir was pleased to discover in the religious section of The Bar rie Examiner of March 19 an article describing how groups of employees in number of Reynolds tobacco plants gather around piano at seven oclock in the morning half an hour before they start work to sing hymns On the same page is the Saturday Sermon by Rev is Howard Courtney which con demns smoking as being out side the life style and scope of Christian living Is this coincidence or did some clever devil at The Ex aminer plan it that way Whatever the case may be it should provide the reverend with food for thought If smoking is sinful then what about those hymnsinging fellows at DC Reynolds Are they not committing an even graver sin by enabling others to indulge in the sinful habit of smoking In case some readers missed the article in question SEVICK HENSHAW Advertising Manager Managing Editor The Barrie Examiner Saturday inch 26 1977 HOW can dull nation turn to extremism There is much doom and gloom about the future of Canada these days The very fragile ties which bound this country together 110 years ago seem to be more fragile than ever Quebec seems to be ready to go its own way While Quebec talks of separation rumblings of discontent with Confederation are heard from the West and the Maritimes Most politiciansand editorial writersare having field day with separatism it Everything and everyone has been blamed for separatism Extremist viewson both sides are getting lots of attention But this nation has never been an extremist nation The history of know of an ardent Christian who has habit of picking his nose no matter where he may happen to be You will forgive me for pick mg this crude example but it happens to be true and it also happens to be one of the most offensive habits can think of But does that give me the right to call it sin The point am trying to make this have we reached to point where it is allright for man of the cloth to denounce his personal dislikes as sins Next thing you know it will be sinful to criticize the paucity of the content and delivery of his sermons Surely there are more impor tant issues for the cler to ex amine than personal ha its would be very interested to find out for example what it si doing as body about racism about the increase in violent crime about the mounting divorce rate about drug abuse about all the social issues that should make the pew very un There has to be reason for it There has to be reason handful of people have made one of the largest countries in the world nation Canada will stay nation despite the best efforts of some politicians and some editorialists There is great deal right with Canandafar more right than wrong One of the very right things with this country is that most Canadians are willing to discuss the possibility of one province separating One of the very right things is that the discussion will be settled with ballots not bullets should point out that Reynolds comfortable place to be Canada for the most part has been One of the very right things is that employs 91100 ordain and Y°urstimyv one of compromise after com many Canadians are recognizing llcencedkmmsters as pmduc wwestra promise that there are politicians who see gufifi may expect these Why separatism as an opportunity for people to have an awareness of the sinfulness of their work What would like to know is what is so sinful about smoking and drinking Is it not mainly because they are such easy targets for at tack Even those that do smoke and drink which includes yours tru ly will admit readily that they are not particularly pleasant habits In fact to be perfectly honest about it they are downright distasteful habits But does that make them automatically sinfull as well The rats have done it again There is no reason what we call Canada today should be nation Geographically North America runs on northsouth linesCanada runs eastwest It is more logical for Canadians to be Americans than to be Canadians Canadians are dwarfed by the giant next door and despite the BritishFrench heritage of this country Canada is more American than anything else There are more reasons why Canada shouldnt be nation But Canada is Despite everything Canada is nation and has been for 110 years PARLIAMENT HILL Strange things taken for granted WE WANT YOUR OPINION Letters Submitted power and are more interested in gaining power than in this nation and its people Lets disucss separation Lets compromise if we have toand everyone will have to There is great deal right with this countrymore than enough to justify keeping it together And it is not the politicians and the editorialists who will decide It is the people the people who have held this country together through thick and thin for 110 years the people who are quietly but fiercely proud of their country and of being called Canadian for publication must be original copies signed by the writer Please include your
