By Florence Wilkinson How do you date your letters? We seniors are used to dating our letter according to the old abbreviation of A.D. - Anno Domini, which means, in the year of our Lord, or in the Christian Ta. However, the generations now growing up will be learning anoth- er kind of abbreviation. They will be learning: C.E., which means Common So B.C., ita means Before Christ and A.D. which means in the year of our Lord, are being replaced by B.C.E., Before the Common Era, and C.E. the Common Era. The years will con- tinue to be counted in the same way. In this world where people of all Seucor far the Future calendar with which Christians are familiar is commonly used. And as C.E. reminds us, there is a real era connected with the division of time with which we are familiar, and all people are a part of this way of thinking. However, a person of any reli- gion, or no religion, will, I am sure, enjoy a poem which I received as a Christmas letter a while ago. I do not know whose poem it is, so I cannot acknowl- edge the author, but the thought belongs to all of us. “Ihave a list of folks I know, all written in a book; And every year when Christmas comes, I go and take a look; And that is when I realize that these names are a Not of a book they’re written in, I really feel that I’m composed of each remembered name. And while you may not be aware of any “special link”, Just meeting you has changed my life a lot more than you think. For once I’ve met somebody, the years cannot erase, The memory of a pleasant word or of a friendly face. So never think my Christmas cards are just a mere routine Of names upon a Christmas list, forgotten in between; For when I send a Christmas card that is addressed to you, It’s because you’re on the list of folk whom I’m indebted to. For I am but the total of the many folk I’ve met, And you happen to be one of those I prefer not to forget. And whether I have known you Halton Hills This Week, Saturday, January 30, 1993 — ~ Page 5 OPEN HOUSE 2:00 - 5:00 pm "Spic ‘This squeaky clean 3 BEDROOM HOME is in top condition. Spacious rooms.
