The Heart Fond - A unique cause It is important for everyone to realize that the Heart Fund, conducted here and throughout Camda during February is something more than "just another health drive" The Heart Fund is uniquely important. Essentially, it is a combined appeal supporting the nationwide fight against a great complex of diseases and disorders - heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure and hardening of the arteries, rheumatic fever and inborn heart defects, to mention only a few. Diseases of the heart and circulation, which Heart Fund dollars help to fight, are responsible for more than 77,000 deaths in Canada each year. That is more than the combined total, resulting from all other diseases and causes of death. In fact these cardiovascular diseases account for over 51.4 percent of all deaths. local mortality experience closely parallels national figures: that, on the average, about half our death notice will mention heart attack stroke or heart disease. " There is only one practical way to tight heart disease, namely by supporting The Heart Fumdatism's programs of research, education and information. The heart problem is no distant abstraction. Although national and international in scope, it exists as a painful and costly reality everywhere. If you have doubts, examine the obituaries which appear in our newspapers.

I discovered to my shame that I have never yet, in almost a hundred columns, touched on the subject of prayer. This is a serious omission. I intend torectifyitatonceby beginning, hereand now, a series of articles on prayer. First of all then: "Why pray?" The short and simple answer is that you can't help it. Prayer, in its rudimentary state at least, is natural and involuntary. It's a part of being what prompted one writer to say: "Prayer is the Christian's vital breath We perish if we cease to pray." If you are inclined to doubt this think of yourself in moments of crisis. When disaster threatened or tragedy struck; when tor- mented by some persistent pain or troubled by some deep anxiety; haven't you found yourself saying, "O God, help me." Or when you have felt tremendous relief at the lifting of a crushing burden haven't you mur- mured, with a feeling that made it more than a mere matter of form, "Thank Cod"? I remember one of Winston Churchill's most moving war-time broadcasts. It was Letters to the editor Sunday, June 22, 1942. Germany had just invaded Russia. Churchill spoke with that moving grandiloquence, so closely allied to the common touch, of which he was supreme master. In sombre tones he told of the vast expansion of the conflict to the east: about the new millions being engulfed in misery; and about the new prayers that were rising request of the Borough of York Planning Board made at its meeting of February 3rd, 1972. l am enclosing a copy of a letter of mine to the Weston Ratepayers' Association Executive ad. vising of the actions taken by the Board on the letter dated February lat, Int, from the Executive. The latter was published in the February 3rd, 1972, issue of the Weston-York Times. Dear Mrs. Lane, On February ard, 1972 the Borough of York Planning Board had before it for consideration your letter dated February Ist, 1972, a copy of which was published in the last issue of the Weston-York Times, 'February 3rd).

The Editor: The safety hamrds the children have to face when going to and from Webster School were the cause of the death of a little five year old girl last week. Clearview, Keele and Beechborough streets have become so busy that it is dangerous even for adults to cross let alone children. The ice and snow where the girl slipped and fell onto the road was still there six days after the accident. It was finally cleared away after it was decided that it was Metro snow. but the Borough of York raglq do us parenfs a favour Ind dept it threateneil td do it them- selves in from of the puss.

"Yes, there are times when all men pray." sothdreure.ThisiawhntrnadeDr. Samuel Johnson retort, in ma to a request for his strongest argument in favor of prayer, "Sir, there is no argument for prayer." Johnson didn't mean that prayer was nonsensical; a vain exercise in futility. Hemeantitwassonaturalathingtodothat there was no need to argue about it. Now, let's recognize that things have changed since Dr. Johnson's time. He lived in the 18th Century. Since his day science has come to the fore. We have had Atheistic Communism, with it's Marxian scoffing of religion as "The opium of the people." We have in these latter days been subject to the verbal gymnastics of the "Death of God" people. Surely all this puts the matter in a different light? Certainly it does if you believe that science has made God redundant; or that Marx was making a ture statement about true religion (and not about a falase misrepresentation of true religion that deserved our scorn just as much as it warranted his!); or if you believe that the "Death of God" people really understand themselves what they are talking about and aretherefore talking sense. In short, it does make nonsense of prayer if you can say: “I don't believe in God." Because prayer and belief are as closely related to one another as joint is to socket in a knuckle bone. But can you really say, with utter and complete conviction and finality, "I don't believe in God?" I think it was Andre Gide who once said "There are no atheists in foxholds." And very often I find that those who are most vociferous in their verbal denial of God are those who most strongly testify to His existance by their practical behaviour (Bertrand Russell was a good example). They deny Him with the top of their mind yet they believe in Him from the bottom of their hearts. But let's persue the discussion a little further. Even granting there may be some people who can say with utter honesty and conviction: "I don't believe in God;" and that you yourself may be one of them; that doesn't make the statement "There is no God" necessarily true. Nor does it mean that your belief has to be taken as the standard for everyone else's belief. Quite the contrary. There are some neonle who are absolutely tonedeaf. This does not lead us to say there is therefore no such thing as music. Or that we who are normal should adjust our behaviour or beliefs to conform to those who are abnormal. This would be plainly ludicrous. Just as ludicrous, then, to say that those few who say they do not believe in God should hold sway over, or in any way affect the thinking of, the many who are able to say -- no matter how hesitatingly and with no matter how many qualifications -- I believe in God." All I have said, so far, really amounts to this: Why pray? Because God is. Next week I Il go on to discuss the question: "When you believe in God, how do you pray?" nearly hit no man“. 00nd Church motion I am sending a copy of this letter to the Weston- York Times. Planning Board will be holding a meeting on February 10th, 1072, and I am placing your Association's letter on the Agenda for 7: 15 P.M. Please advise me if representatives can be present from your Association at that time. implemented with a safety railing running north from Clearview and Keele to the crossing lights, Clearview should be made a one! way going east and this would prevent the large trucks from using this little street which the children have to cross four times daily. No right turn on a red light at Beechborough and Keele would help the guard as she tries to herd the little ones across as the cars are tur- ning. Perhaps York Safety Council can look into this situation and suggest a solution or recommend to the Borough people who are not too worried about who the snow belongs to and do something to make this a safer intersection.
