I refer to the December 14, 1977 issue in which the headline "Knisley Fired"‘ appeared on the Sports page. o s o _ The Waterloo Siskin Hockey Club and George Knisâ€" ley have parted the way under the friendliest of terms. I not only feel your article has done some injustice to our organization, but has greatly downgraded the character and ability of George who is a dedicated and intelligent person and coach. I can only hope that in the future, you and your newsâ€" paper will use better discretfon and common sense when choosing headlines for your stories. Yours truly, _ Gerald G. Saunders, President, Waterioo Siskins To the Editor. On Tuesday the Canadian Council of Churches received additional information about the emergency situation in India following the recent cyclone.

McLean, Chairman, Committee on World Concerns, The Canadian Council of Churches. ) To the Editor Today, world leaders are acknowledging that they must decide between world peace and world suicide. They agree that in an allâ€"out nuclear war there would be no winners, only losers. They also say that time is running out for global action if such a disaster is to be avoided. We are told that the arms race is alarmâ€" ing and should be cut back. But the question arises: How sincere are these leaders in cutting back the arms race. Here are a few facts. A few years ago, the nations were spending about $200 billion on armaâ€" ments. By 1976 it had reached $334 billion. ‘"Last year, the nations of the world spent 60 times as much equipâ€" ping each soldier as we spent in educating each child"‘. In 1977 experts from 13 countries reported to the Unitâ€" ed Nations that the arms race among major industrial nations has now accelerated to "an alarming tempo"‘. Spending reached some $350 billion during the year and above our planet we have a total of 1,386 military satellites for guiding missiles. Is it realistic to think that world leaders today will keep their word? Past history shows otherwise. NAFeor} W .D. Pope
