The students at St. Joseph's School in Bowmanville had been using the Learning Game Gen- Men Striking Back? MAN VS. WOMAN The Universities, work shops, training schools, etc. are filled with women learning learning to be engineers, mechanics, mechanics, plumbers, etc., etc. Some are training for the military and police forces - jobs that were once exclusively the domain domain of men. Because of this reversal of world order and the ignoring of the laws of Yahweh (our Maker), man is no longer considered to be the breadwinner and protector protector of the weaker sex. But there is a price being' paid for this. Women are bewildered bewildered and fearful of the violence violence and abuse occuring in their homes and in the streets. Could it be that men masculinity? Women have the potential potential to mold our world to be E eaceful and law-abiding, ut they are not exercising that power today. The old adage that "The hand that rocks the cradle, rules the world," and, "Behind every successful man is a woman* - no longer applies. What a Ont. Gladys E. Barrett, 86 years, 229 Dublin St. N.

Editor's Mail Dear Editor Thank you for reporting the meetings of the Women's Missionary Society of the Presbyterian Church, Peterborough Peterborough Presbyterial. Peterborough Peterborough Presbyterial takes in the area from Bowmanville Bowmanville to Campbellford and north to Lakeneld and Lake- hurst. Even though local names may not be mentioned, these reports are of interest to Presbyterians in your area. Thank You, Mrs. Marion Curie Dear John: How true the letter in The Statesman last week, and so nicely put together on the "Name Changers still in the Game." Don Gilhooly, the Chairman of the Bowmanville Bowmanville Boosters, deserves a tip of the hat for giving the people of Bowmanville the true story. Many people who have grown up in the town are still wondering why such a mess was not cleaned up long ago. The solution was quite simple. All Council had to do was pass the problem problem along to the Ontario government to just change the name of one Newcastle to something different. It did not need to be Bowmanville, Bowmanville, but of course all coun cillors, except the two Bowmanville Bowmanville ones, played follow the leader with the mayor and did not even give the government a chance to look at the problem. The mess still remains and will be here forever, as long as we have two New- castles to contend with. We now have signs all over the country, with silly slogans written on them to attempt to tell people that this is Newcastle. Little wonder, many strangers coming to this area encounter problems problems figuring out where they are. Perhaps, we should try the new Premier and have Gord Mills take the problem to him, and skip the mayor. If, however, we are stuck with Regional Govt, and only two local councillors from Bowmanville, we may have to wait until election time. The, we might get rid of the mayor and one or two of her pets, who do not seem to do much, but follow the leader. If the Bowmanville and surrounding area people take a good look to the west, north, east, and south of the town, and then read the mayor's write-up in last week's Statesman, headed up "Mayor's Confident Dette Dette Statistics," it looks as Dear Editor: Besides the cold and often often inclement weather experienced experienced during the winter months in Ontario, many pets are exposed to other hazards prevalent during this season. One such hazard hazard is ethylene glycol. Ethylene Glycol, present in antifreeze, brake fluid and other substances, is a deadly poison to both people and animals. Ethylene glycol glycol is present throughout the year, However, with the arrival arrival of winter, antifreeze is used to a greater extent. People should ensure that iroau gines of vehicles in a desperate desperate attempt to keep warm. Each year, numerous cats receive severe injuries, many of which are fatal, caused by vehicle fans and fan belts. Please take the time to alert cats by either banging on the hood of the car or honking the horn. If honking the horn is the technique technique used, allow the cat enough time to escape before starting the engine. Anyone who would like a supply of handbills produced by the Ontario S.P.C.A. warning people of these two Don't Sell Petro Canada As 1990 came to an end, news reports focused on the hated GST, the threat of war in the Gulf, a government-sponsored government-sponsored recession, cuts to the CBC and countless countless rips in the fabric of the nation. Few people noticed that the Conservatives had used their majority in the House of Commons to shut off debate and sneak through a law to sell Petro- Canaaa. Once this law passes passes the Tory-stacked senate, Petro-Canada-our-national, publicly-owned energy company company - will be gone. It won't reappear after the next election; election; Petro-Canada will be gone forever. Canadians are losing a vital vital energy policy tool. No future future national government will be able to use Petro- Canada to help keep foreign oil companies honest by being being the one company we can trust not to gouge us at the gas pumps. Petro-Canada can never be used to help move us towards a greener energy future by taking the lead in actively promoting conservation and alternative energy sources (even such modest steps as collecting, recycling and selling used engine oil help tremendously). tremendously). Canadians will also lose billions of dollars on the sale. A Calgaiy investment dealer appearing before a House of Commons Commit tee studying the bill agreed "absolutely^ that the people of Canada are going to take. a bath on the sale, the only question is how deep is the tub. So, I tried to make changes to the law to guarantee guarantee that the sale would at least have recovered for Canadian Canadian taxpayers the $6.8 billion they've invested in Petro-Canada. But these changes were defeated by both the Conservative and Liberal members of the committee committee studying the bill. What's even more mind- boggling, the Conservatives are giving the money they raise from the sale of Petro- Canada back to the people who are buying it. It's true! If I sold my house and donated donated the money back to the people who bought it, you'd call it lunacy. And you'd by right. But the $700 million raised by the sale of the first 15% of the company will be ploughed right back into the company. And there is nothing nothing to prevent, the Conservatives Conservatives from giving all of the proceeds from the sale of our company to the rich investors investors who buy it. That's a cruel joke from a government government claiming to need more money! Remember that the next time you shell out GST for a coffee and a newspaper. Sincerely, Ross Harvey, M.P.
