last weeks paper her argument for the drag strip was that it will give the ipcal kids something to do and keep them from cluttering up the plazas and going to the local hotel may i point out to her and other misinformed people this is not a drag strip for the local kids by ihe owners own ad mission he has spent a quarter of a million dollars on properly this is h big time operation for professional dragsters only 90 of whom are americans the crowds which are estimated will range from 15000 to 25000 people on a weekend as the majority of these people are from distant places they come

they take if g bourque thinks this is going to decrease the i breakins and illegal activities fl suggest she reexamine her thinking i also resent the fact she branded us a bunch of tuddy- duddys trying to spoil the kids fun we have in fact 3 people fighting with us against this strip who are avid drags ters their stories of what goes on at these affairs would make anyones hair 9and on end i am willing to put g bourque in touch with any of these people if she would care to know what the score really is may i further point out we are not opposed to drag racing per se we are opposed to the building of a drag strip in a built up area i suspect it may be g bour que who is the fuddyduddy complaining about the kids hanging around the local res taurant etc why should that bother her i myself

of the utmost importance to parents and students alike i once again ban vour indulgence in pointing oul some urgent questions that we as responsible parents ahculd be entitled to know in tho pat few weeks we have ben notified in the geor getown herald of the ad hoc csmmitliee on religious educa tion the only other information we received was that objections had been raised by some in the profession including teachers since we tye parents are shoul dering the heavy burden for education it is surely our right to question any teaching that tends to destroy our christian heritage for the benefit of those who have- not had the opportunity to study the proposed changes in the tyackay report i would like to point out a few of the tilings that disturb me as a grandmother of children now attending school the first part of the report deals with religion as far back as 1819 the pioneers of those days were as strict in their re ligion as they were in their dis cipline towards their children we cannot compare our living today in any way with those who founded this great and beautiful country advancing to the year 1944 we are informed that premier drew was responsible for a newj course of religious education in j the schools i i want to point out that in 1944 we were on our knees pleading for divine help to overcome our oppressors in world war n thanks to almight god and those who sacrificed their life and limb we still have our freedom today but for this we might have been under the heel of hitler or communist russia twentyfive years ago we were on our knees today we have those who advocate that religious education be aband oned page 93 report on relig ious education par 1 par 4 slates recommends opening exercises consist of the national anthem and a prayer cither of universal character or ithe lords prayer note such prayer of universal character i could even be a prayer to budda j karl man or even to mao tse j tung par 7 we recommend that the acquisition of information about and respect for all reli gions be recognized as an es sential objective of the educat ion from kindergarten to grade 13 par 8 we recommend that a formal course of study deal- in with the principle religions of the world be offered as one of the optional courses in grades 11 and 12 canada is supposed to be a christian nation and those who come here do so with that know ledge we do not deny anyone the right to worship in their own faith but let us see to it that before we inform our young children from kindergar ten to grade 13 that we give our children the basic faith of our christian heritage first page 24 states that pupils who are allowed the freedom of exemption from religious exercises are discriminated ag ainst since when has ft become discrimination towards those
