questioned the statement in my
letter to the sewer committee that
council had given approval to the
project and then they. further~

expressed. opposition to . the
building of -the © church. The
proposal for this project has been
‘before council at least three times
in-the past and council has each
time passed the proposal on to
the Capital Region District
without objection.

In» fact, a review of council
minutes as far back as four years
ago ~indicates Central. Saanich
council has. given’. unamimous
support. to this project. ‘It. is
unfortunate” that the -personal
biases. of. isolated . aldermen
receive such coverage while: the
truth remains obscured.

The actual issue of my letter to
the sewer committee as outlined
in’ your “report isa. request to-
connect the proposed church to
the municipal. sewer. A:.sewer
connection ‘will not. only over-.
come difficulties of a. built-up
septic field but will also provide:
for “increased. reclamation. of
agricultural land.’

It‘is a sad reflection on these
aldermen when they voice such
‘opposition to a project that. not.
only provides answers to spiritual

needs but also restores land that.

has been ‘an agricultural
‘wasteland: for: eight ‘or more

many sight restoration
operations, but none has brought
me more pleasure, happiness and
satisfaction than those performed
on my behalf on some poor blind
persons in the poor countries as
indicated.on the 1D cards I. have
received.

The OEU was started in 1963
in Calgary by Art Jenkyns when
he heard the plea for funds from
the legendary Canadian medical
missionary, Dr. Ben Gullison,
who, along with his wife, Evelyn,
spent 40 years in Sompeta on the
India, and
established a 125-bed eye hospital
which has restored over 150,000
blind destitutes over the years.

Gullison and
recipients of Order of Canada for
their -noble . work, humbly -at-
tribute the start-up of the project
to The Greater’ Healer, who
walked. the shores. of Gallilee

2,000 years ago giving sight to the

blind.

eOEU is supported by all
denominations r. Christian,
Jewish, Hindu and Sikh chur-

ches, various women’s and men’s

groups and service clubs, schools,
