Newcastle, Ont. To the Editor: In regards as to the Provincial Court News Column. Practically every week when we pick up the Canadian Statesman to read it some- where on the front page outlined in big letters is a news bulletin stating where some one has committed an offense as to the breaking of a law of our Country. If the person or persons are caught in the act their name and address appear in this bulletin, there- fore the public has been made known of this offence this news in already in circulation and news like this spreads, like a forest fire and can be just as destructive once it reaches the outside world. I realize that something like this is news and that this is one reason we have newspapers to keep the people informed as to ORONO GARDEN CENTRE Ltd. SODDING COMPLET LANDSCAPING Free Estimates Phone 983-9308 what is happening around them. But I feel that when a person stands before a judge as to an offense as to the breaking of a law of their Country, when the judge who has the authority to pass judgement to protect the laws and citizens. of our Country passes out the judgement and that person is sentenced (in one way or another) to pay for their wrong doing, this is their debt to the country and society in which they live. Everything has been settled in the court room and they have already started to pay for their wrong doing (or paid it). I feel there should be no more publicity once they pay or start to pay for their wrong doing; I feel it is wrong to make a special issue of the outcome for the outside world to pass judge- ment or gossip over, also to be used as a club to hold over that person's head. Just who of us on the outside world has room to judge another or cast a stone at another? I am of the opinion that we cannot help anyone by hurting them more to do it I feel that they are already being hurt within them through their own conscience (this is God's way of working through us ( and I am sure they are alreadydasking them- selves the same question that we ask, why did they do it? I just wonder how many of us can truthfully say that we haven't broken a law of some kind at one time or another, COMPLETE KITCHEN DESIGN AND LAYOUT Family Kitchens. .

ONTARIO LOTTERYCORPORATIOr Still Peels Apples After Ail These Years we may have been fortunate enough not to be caught (and madestand befone a judge) the unfortunate ones are caught (for everyone that is caught a hundred are not caught) I don't say unfortun- ate because they have been made pay for their wrong doing or mistake, as I realize all wrong doings could lead to bigger things, I say unfortun- ate because their name and offense have been made known to the public. What about all the unpardonable sins we all commit from day to day that we are not called to stand before a judge for down here, we are told in the Scriptures that there is a Higher Judge who bas a record of these sins the same as the sins people are caught doing we may be surprised to find out that many of these sins which have seemed trivial to us can make a blacker blotch in God's Rec- ord Book ýthan some of the wrong doings some people have been made stand before a judge for down here. There is an old saying that there is a skeleton of some kind hidden in the closet or heart of everyone. Some of these skeletons may be so old it is thought that they are forgotten, we can bemsure there, is always someone around who still remembers, some may be quite new and thought unknown to othersawe can be sure someone knows as some people have a habit of never forgetting the wrongs of others or do they let then forget, I feel that we ail can be kept busy keeping our own steps clean, without trying to keep the step of others clean. It could cause a lot of embarrassment if these skele- tons were all brought out of the dark into the open and made public in a newspaper column, it would be quite a shock when we picked up the newspaper the next week to read as to the mistake or wrong doings of others, but instead to read a list of our own mistakes and wrong doings giving our name, address and the offences, we would soon change our opinion as to such a column we should also think of the embarrass- ment caused to innocent people because of such a column, the one involved is part of them, and they are a part of the one involved. Further when the court news isn't published every week which has been the case for some reason or another, is this fair to the one whose name and offence do appear, also the fact that some cases never reach to press, no one can deny that this hasn't happened. Also the fact that errors have-been -made as t a case that causes more embarrass- ment, also the fact that sometimes all of the true facts (on both sides) of a case have not been brought out in the open (even in the court room) therefore through such a column the outside world is given the wrong impression of the one involved, also the offence, therefore they are falsely judged, even branded for life, this is like hanging an innocent person. I can speak on words of authority as to the last statement as I am a mother of one who was so falsely accused over three vears ago. I have the facts to prove this statement, furthermore they were given by the persons involved in the whole set up and I would also like to add that time bas a way of revealing everything; for there is nothing covered that should not be revealed; neither hid that shall not be known, actions also speak louder than words. I would like to pass on a story that happened just recently as to a lady from another town who was visiting in Bowmanville, she picked up the Canadian Statesman' to glance through it, she came across the court news, she was flabbergasted, she said she had never read such a column before. She thought it was really going far out on a limb. This woman works for the welfare and comes in contact with some staggering cases that could really knock a person's eyes out as to what goes on behind some doors, believe me I am not trying to hurt anyone who isn't able to work through different ways as they require help, it is the cases that overabuse it I am knocking. It would be shock- ing if the names and cases of such people were published in such a column as the court column. The Salvation Army also helps more people than any other organization and they also deal with every kind of case, have they ever used a newspaper column to print the names and kind of cases they have helped? big question mark, ah? This topic has been discus- sed before, I feel it is time it was again, not only for the sake of the one involved who is made pay for their mistake but also to protect innocent people from more embarrass- ment. Also the fact that busy bodies could possibly find something more constructive to talk about than the faults and wrongs of others, judge lest ye be judged. I feel that the space used for such a column could be the means of helping people who have been wronged. Also the sick and the lonely; if it was replaced through a message of the Gospel that could bring hope and encouragement in- stead of making publicity of something that hurts and embarrasses. In closing, I would like to commend you on the timely article as to lotteries that appeared on the editorial page, Sept. 8th issue. I feel it should be reprinted not only for the sake of those who by chance didn't read it and have misplaced this issue (Sept. 8th) also for those who are so involved this way. I also feel that the Churches should appose them. I would also like to commend any who took time to write and commend you on your stand. As to the other response against such a stand, I would like to say we can always tell whose toes we are stepping on the hardest when we speak out as to anything dealing as to morals that should be of interest to parents to help raising a family in this terrible permis- sive age where nothing seems to be looked on as wrong any more, even by professing Christians. Will sign myself as I really am one of the many mothers who has been embarrassed because of such a bad ex- perience, broken hearted but not broken. Sincerely Mrs. David Gray, R.R. 2, Newcastle, Ontario NESTLETON (Intended for last week> Sunday Services In the Presbyterian Church, Miss Dorothy Bulmer, Dea- coness, read the Scripture passage from the New Testa- ment John 1: 1-4. We have much to be thankful for. During the Thanksgiving holi- days we should thank God for the faith he bas given to us. He gave us a way of life. Jesus Christ has shown us what God is really like. Every act of Jesus is an act of God. Let us give thanks for God's gift of faith. Mrs. H. Visser sang, 'I Believe." United Church In the United Church, on Sunday morning, Reverend Victor Parsons had a splendid Thanksgiving message with "Humbly Thankful" being the theme and reading Phil- ippians 4: 1-13, and Luke 17: 11-19. "Do you live on "Grum- ble Corner" or is your home on Thanksgivirig Avenue". This question gave much food for thought. Are we thankful only when opportunity knocks and when we have been blessed by success?The early christians were thankful even in their misfortunes. Phillipians 4: verse 6 "by proper and supplication with thanks- giving let your requests be known" verse 11- for I have learned in whatever state, therewith I am content. This should be a lesson for us all. Of the ten lepers who were healed only one returned to say "thank you." The choir sang "Thank you, God." Women's Institute The Women's Institute met on Wednesday afternoon, October 6, at the Nestleton Community Centre. Following Section Two the opening "Ode" and "Col- lect", the president, Mrs. George Heaslip welcomed members and visitors and read a splendid prayer from "House and Country."
