Rowland publisher ADVERTISING 7266537 CLASSIFIEDS 7282414 Two profiles in courage In world where selfinterest invariably comes irst people are somehow not expected to risk their lives for others We lost sight of the fact that humanity still prevails and real heroes do exist Two real life heroes front our area were honored by Gover nor General Schreyer yesterday in Ottawa for acts of outstan ding bravery Each deserves recognition in his home area William Dixon of Oro acted courageously to rescue pilot after plane crash near his home in November 1977 Doing far more than might have been expected Mr Dixon forced his way through the burning wreckage to pull the pilot to safety Warrant officer Edgar Weatherlwc formerly of CFB Borden acted with bravery to save Cpl OBrien from falling to his death during parachute jump After the two men became tangled during the jump W0 Weatherbec helped OBrien control his fall OBrien landed safely but Weatherbee suffered compressed verterbme We think these two are profiles in courage for the rest of US In an emergency they are how courageous people should and must act hitl simooe ear The Grand Trunk Station In Barrie as It looked lust after the turn of the cen tury The station Is believed to have been built about i870 and was demolished around i959 Station was located near Memorial Park DearSir You report March Little reaction here local Anglican church spokesmen say to the or daining of homosexual priests Well Im not religious person par ticularly But am sensitive to the fact that the church is an essential part of our western civilization And anything that can attack its supporting pillars is danger ultimately to all our lives There is no valid historical basis for condoning flagrant homosexuality in the modern Christian church You report also note that some feel the bishops decision to ordain homosexuals was political rather than spiritually motivated Of course it was That is in fact the main reason for this reaction of mine Understand that homosexuality may or may not be neurotic men tally unhealthy in itself but the virulence of organized homosexuals as group reveal all the symptoms of mass hysteria typical of all threats to sane society It seems to me that when person flounts his or her intimate sexual life in public by wearing it as badge of protest then the danger flag of zealotry to say the least should be raised by society And why one wonders would an applicant for ordination choose to reveal his sexual proclivitics except as an indication that he feels obliged to ally himself with an organized group thus communicating clear ly that he has potential for con tagious presence in whatever organization he moves in this case the church we want your opinion Something on your mind Send Latter to the

his private sexual predilections tended toward some bizarre kinkincss Which would no doubt automatically bar his acceptance What inverted values come into view like shoals in the way of an ark whose helsman has floutcd his masters orders and sailed off the charted course How long will it be before Peeping Toms are organized one wonders And child fondlers sado masochists transvestites exhibi tionists ctc They could all preach the same human rights as could homosexuals They also may be relatively inlt nocuous individually but as an organized creed they would be as virulent and destructive as organiz ed homoscxuals are to the founda tions of our society So dear Bishops please regard this letter of mine as more than little reaction to your subversive action Surely your mute trusting flocks deserve more than contemp tuous betrayal Yours truly Douglas Greenwood Barrie Dear Sir Recently with the melting of this winters snow have become in creasingly aware of the large amounts of dog feces littering the sidewalks of my street Every day find myself dodging the little piles which happen along every few feet As walk to school feel even sor rier for parents with small children for whom this problem constitutes health hazard The same problem occures at Sun nidale Park and at other parks Im sure during the spring have also seen dog owners engage in the rude practice of walking up the road allowing their dogs to defecate in the park then return home Most dog owners are responsible enough to clean up after their beasts but there are few selfish ignorant few who feel they have the right to foul on other peoples pro perty Lets have our sidewalks and parks used the way they are meant to be used not as doggic disposal sites Chris Skelton 1098unnidaleRd Barrie BUSINESS 7266537

to 19 month earlier the Conservatives were just barely In front with 40 per cent while the Liberals held 39 per cent That survey involving about 1025 rev spondcnls was taken before Joe Clark began losing his luggage on his world tour And smcc the poll indicated that the Liberals were making srxctacular gains on the Tories who led by 10 pomls few months ago Clarks people were braced for disasicrous showrngthistimc II2SIHCIIAIION It was these expectations that led to so much speculation about an early May election With huge Liberal lead foregone conclusion for the March poll many Mls predicted that Trudeau would call an election prior to its release ilad tidings from Gallup would represent glorious gift early in the campaign As it turns out Trudeau was wise to resist that particular lcmplalion on the basis of the polls What the latest results indicate is that despite small decline in Tory popularity the Liberals are not cashing in on this disenchantment What is happening is that more and more voters are bccommg un decided When iallup talks about the Liberals leading the Tories tilt38 the pollsters are breaking down the undecidcds in the same percentages as 1050 who ha vc made up their minds Thc actual responses to the monthly wrvcy show that 26 per cent plan to vote Liberal almost the same rxrrccntagc dcclarcd they would vote Tory and per cent were committcd to the New Democrats whopping 33 per cent said they didnt know how they would vote lllIILI BATTLE While the Liberals can get some small consolation from the fact that they now lead the Tories on national basis and lets face it this is better than 10 point shortfall thcrc is still an uphill battle to be fought in most regions of the country When you consider the fact that thc irits are main taining their massive strength in Quebec where 1hcy have 1hc support of 60 per cent of the voters you can apprcciatc how badly they trail in other areas Of coursc you can also apprcciatc the unintended humor lll Joe Clarks prediction that his party might win to of Quebecs 75 seats in the next election If Clark achieved this the Liberals would be reduccd to splinter party What the latest poll indicates as did all polls over the last srx months is that the Liberals remain in deep trouble in the West and they still face steep unhill battle in Ontario where the war will be won or lost Whilc Liberal voles arc going to waste in parts of Quebec they are still scarce III mctro Toronto But optimistic parly officials kccp looking at the briglil side With so many IllltlttHlltl volcrs they argue the battle wrll be won in the actual campaign and Trudeau will be formidable force on the huslmgs But whatever happens and it might well be that the NDP will hold the balance of power next time

Ugandan troops crossed the border into remote portion of Iamania west of Lake Victoria The troops withdrew few weeks later leaving devastation and death in their wake Analysts here say the tragic
