Letters to the Editor To the Editor, There is going to be a school Reunion at Central School on June 15th and we are trying to locate all former students and teachers who were associated with the school between 1914 and 1964, Reunion: .Central School, Port Coquitlam 1914 to 1964. To be held on June 15, 1884. Write for registration by May 1, 1984, 2260 Central Avenue, Port Coquitlam, B.C. V8V 1V8. We would appreciate any help that you can give us in contacting any and all students and teachers who were at Central School. Thank you Sincerely, Central Reuniori Commissee To the Editor, Fr. Carlos Abesamis, §.J., 2 scriptures professor from the Phillipines, visited Terrace on March 22 as.a guest of the Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and -Peace. I helped plan his visit and wish the opportunity to clarify some misconceptions arising from his visit. The main purpose of his presentation was to conduct a Bible study from the viewpoint of justice, as-this is his work and expertise. However, yar paper's... ; report of the visit states that: the. ‘main subject of the meeting was the justice system in the Phillipines’ and how the poor common citizen is being mistreated”. Canadians often hear and see news reports of injustice in the Phillipines. The true focus of the evening with Fr. Carloa was to reflect on this reality in the light of Scripture. This opinion is shared by others I know who were there. In your March 27 edition, Development and Peace has been falsely and absurdly accused of being a communist front by a reader in Letters to the Editor, © Ancther of this reader's misconceptions is his statement that “Cardinal Carter of Toronto stopped the flow of money going to this communist front’. The truth is that Cardinal Carter has recently isqued a Pastoral Letter endorsing the organization and it’s work. ’ D & P was founded by Canada’s Bishop's in 1987, to promote justice and solidarity with the people of the Third World. The organization has.a two-fold mandate, the education of the Canadian public concerning the problems of underdevelopment, and secondly, funding of small, village-based projects, whichprovide people with the tools, resources, and skills that enable them to begin shaping their’ own future, In the words of Pope John Paul H; “Let ws bring justice where. injustice reigns and peace where only weapons speak.” This message and Scriptures continue to inspire, and challenge volunteer workers of Development and Peace, and all people of good will. Sincerely, L. Joaeph Hof oy ft at you know someone who can’t read this ad, suggest they get a volunteer tutor through Northerest' Community College. ; Call 695-4511 ask for JOHN WOOD or JOHN.
