Pat Osborn thanked the
ladies for the delicious meal
served and a short social time
followed.
The business • meeting was
called to order. Helmut Kroh-
mer introduced Mr, Bruce
Heath, Director of the Huron
County Children's Aid Society
and mentioned his numerous
achievements.
Mr, Heath cautioned mem-
bers of the Pro Life Group not
to allow themselves to focus on
a single moral or social
problem, that of abortion, while
ignoring so many others that
are related.
"Respect for Life, which your,
organization espouses, must
necessarily not dwell solely on
that of the person yet to be
born without enunciating an
equal respect and concern for
others in our community," Mr.
Heath said. Those handicapped
physically, the retarded, the
emotionally ill, the criminal or
delinquent,, the marginal
family, the disadvantaged or
neglected child, the single
parent family to name but a
few.
"If you avoid addressing
yourselves to the causes of
situations which lead to abor-
tion being seen as the only ap-
parent realistic alternative to a
family or social problem, you
end up doing a disservice to the
very objectives which your
organization enunciates," he'
pointed out.
The speaker outlined the
changing emphasis of the work
of the Children's Aid Society
from that of the child admitted
into its care to that of work
with the child in his own home.
Tracing the history of
Children's Aid Societies in On-
tario from their formation by
local citizen groups concerned
about children in the late
1800's, Mr. Heath stressed that
the same concern which led to
the first formal programs of
child care in Children's Aid
Societies must to-day be
demonstrated by the com-
munity in providing alternative
prevention programs.
"No county should take pride
in the number of children a
Children's Aid Society has in
its care, unless it can honestly
conclude that placement was
the only alternative," said the
speaker.
Mr. Heath stressed that a
whole range of preventive and
supportive programs had to be
available in a community un-
der local health and social
welfare auspices aimed at
strengthening the family's
ability to keep children and
dependants in the home and in
the local community.
He quoted from the Hanson
Task Force Report corn-
_O
Ontario, in underscoring the
need to examine where and
-why much of the child welfare
dollar was being spent,
"It is a paradox of our child
welfare system that more
resources seem to be available
for keeping a child at risk in
alternative care facilities than
for keeping him at home with,
the natural family," he said.
Mr, Heath further cautioned
the Pro-Life movement not to
seize upon adoption placement
as an'alternative to abortion at
the risk of not examining why
any child need be surrendered
for adoption in the first place.
"While l can appreciate the
anxiety of a childless couple
who are now going to have to
wait two years or more for the
placement of a baby on adop-
tion, I would not welcome a
return to the late 1960's when
most of adoption and child care
efforts were spent on placing.
babies, forgetting the more
messing needs of the older
child and the so-called "Hard
to Place" child," he noted.
The guest invited the assem-
bled members to give active
consideration to all the inter-
related social problems of its
local communities and lend
support to any effort that
would improve the quality of
the helping services which their
tax dollars were presently sup-
porting. The speaker was
thanked by Doctor Brian
Lynch.
The objects of the Pro-Life
group were outlined as follows:
(a) to uphold the dignity of
Human Life;
' (b) to uphold the sacredness
and inviolability of Human
Life from the time of concep-
tion;
(c) to protect the interests
and rights of the Unborn Child;
(d) to hold conferences and

matters relating to the dignity
of human life;
(e) to prepare and submit to

The Ontario ministry of
health today cautioned
residents that- improper
preparation of home preserves
can result in botulism, a form
of food poisoning, Botulism
poisoning leads to paralysis of
limbs, respiratory failure, and
death in 55 percent of recorded
cases.
The botulism microbe, com-
monly present in soil, is coun-
teracted by acid. Therefore,
home canned fruits and
tomatoes of the standard
variety do not normally become
contaminated. All other
vegetables, including the
golden yellow low acid tomato,
must be home processed in the
container at temperatures con-
siderably higher than the
boiling point of water to
destroy the botulism microbe.
For safe preservation of
vegetables a pressure cooker
should always be used, Dif-
ferent vegetables require dif-
ferent pressures and cooking
times to attain the specific tem-
perature needed to kill the
