Na yh 5H i > Bw My J » A Ri ALS A] : Letters Ben could have won on his own! To The Editor: I address this letter to Neil DeShane, (letter in edition of Tuesday, October 4), who it would seem feels that one has the right to go through this life bending the rules and making mistakes to reach one's goal. It would appear that the means justifies the end no matter what the cost. I really had to read this gentleman's letter twice to deter- mine if what 1 was seeing was what he had written! Mr. DeShane, do you truly believe that in bettering our lot in life if we cheat and bend the rules "it's OK?"' Would you really like to think that you have arrived where you are to-day (wherever that may be) by bending the rules and making mistakes and maybe even cheating a little. Indeed it is most honourable "to try and excel at something, anything so that we as an in- dividual can make a mark for ourselves in this world." However in the end what if we climb the highest mountain or swim the deepest ocean, if in our heart we knew we did not achieve this on our own merit but by false means, does this not make our achieve- ment worthless? Tell me Mr. DeShane, should we continue to worship Mr. Ben Johnson because he did indeed win the coveted Gold, although he did not win on his own merit but "by the use of drugs. It is sad indeed if Mr. Johnson was so uninformed as to what he was taking, it does not excuse the fact that drugs were found in his system and he did not win on his own. Because everyone does it, does not make. it right. When we cheat or bend the rules we cheat and fool only ourselves. You ask if we as a nation should be ashamed of Ben Johnson. The answer is yes, if he had to attain his goal by false means either knowingly or unknowingly, I guess the greatest sorrow to-day is that "because everyone does it, it is OK". Not so, there are many fine atheletes to-day who have achieved much greatness and they did not have to stoop to tak- ing drugs. There are mistakes and there are mistakes in this life Mr. DeShane. One can make a mistake by making a wrong turn in the road and getting lost. This is not too serious a mistake. Then there are other mistakes made You'll make no payments until June 1989 when you buy selected new equipment from Ford New Holland: M Ford tractors Models 2810-2910-3910-4610-5610-5900-6610-7610-7710-8210 @ New Holland hay equipment B New Holland forage equipment Keep your money in the bank and take home a new piece of equipment.

Sunderland (705) 357-3121 which may endanger a life or even take a life. One cannot say that all mistakes are simply mistakes and should be forgiven. The bottom line in this situation is that drugs were used to falsely win and whoever is to blame is really not that important whether it is ""shy" "backward" Ben or his entourage, the fact remains that the race was won unfairly. Perhaps you feel a little taller believing that since one of the 'great atheletes" cheated its OK for everyone to do so. Let me tell you you are wrong. It is sad that you feel the way you do that winning and achiev- ing is all that matters and how does not matter. I only hope that you do not pass this philosophy on to those who are yet young € to really believe that winning is everything, no matter what the cost. Each of us must achieve our own level of greatness but we must achieve it fairly and honest- ly, or it becomes worthless. Yours truly, D. Richards, R.R. 2, Blackstock, Ontario. to police. two.
