Last year approximately 50,000 babies were legally?? aborted in Canada. The law has definitely been abused, yet broader laws are being called for in legal murder. Where will it end? Last year in Ontario, $6 million of our tax dollar was spent for abortions through OHIP, Why should decent and honest tax- payers have to contribute their premiums toward abortion (murder)? Let's all do our part and write letters of protest to Prime Minister Trudeau, Otto Lang, Minister of Justice, Robert McKinley, House of Commons, Ottawa. Write to our provincial leaders, Wm. Davis, Dr. R, Potter., Minister of Health; Jack Riddell, Queen's Park, Toronto, Many people were opposed to the energy tax. People protested and there was positive action. Write letters and protest the abuse of abortion and help save innocent lives. Your voice does count.

After having a good look at the old town, may I suggest to His Worship the Mayor, the best way out of his dilemma over the state of Andrew Street is to just hide the b mess by putting down board walks and a few picket fences and make the street look its age. Of course, we all know the lowest tender is not always the worst, or the best. It was great being able to visit and talk to so many of my friends and relatives in my few days. I do hope I will be able to come back soon, In the meantime, I hope the celebration is a great success, By the way, Derry, please make sure I get my invitation for the next Centennial in good time! Sincerely, Cal Heywood, of Purley, Surrey, England. The Exeter Expos see action on three occasions during the first week of the regular schedule of the Huron-Perth intermediate baseball league. The Expos open the season. Friday night as they travel to Dashwood to meet the Tigers in an eight o'clock contest. The home opener for the Expos will be Sunday afternoon at two o'clock at Exeter Community Park when Walkerton supplies the opposition, The third start of the week will be Wednesday night when Arva makes the trip to Exeter. Game time is 6.30 p.m. Bowling season gets underway Ideal weather conditions greeted members of the Exeter lawn bowling club as they par- ticipated in their favorite sport for the first time this season, Monday afternoon, A goodly number of lawn bowling enthusiasts answered the opening call and participated in two games which was followed by a pot luck supper. The regular twice weekly jitneys opened Tuesday night. Greenskeeper Wilf Shapton probably due to a little extra practicing walked off with top honours in the opening jitney with two wins, a plus of 18. In second spot with a double win and a plus of 14 came Edna Caldwell. Placing third with a plus of 11 to go with two victories was Lillian Pym while Elizabeth Lamport annexed fourth spot with a single win and a plus of 10, HOME OPENER Dragging feet Dear Sir, Arriving for a visit from England on May 7, I found the invitation for the Centennial of our village awaiting me at my aunt's home, having been returned to the post office because of insufficient postage - a clerical error, no doubt. It seems to me that the com- mittee was dragging its feet. Thinking back to the Old Boys Reunion: that committee had things a lot farther ahead. Surely; these letters should have been posted in December 1972, not April 27, 1973. Holidays in England are being booked in December and certainly before the latter part of April. I would have liked to join all the gang for your celebration, but, in spite of my not being there, I hope it is a great success. In my place, my friends, Simone and Dave Kirton, of Toronto, and their relatives from England hope to Sunday 2:30 p.m. WALKERTON VS EXETER Wednesday 6:30 p.m. ARVA VS EXETER Blind request independence Exeter," said Steve Wuerth. "We had a good turn-out in Exeter last year, but the kids came only a couple of times a week, rather than every day". They applied for a grant to support eight workers this year, but the government cut them down to six, half of last year's number. The grant they received is also about halved compared to 1972. ' The group hopes to experiment a little more this year then last in their approach to the project. "There are a lot of younger kids out at the Park," said Steve, "and we hope to set up a nursery in the mornings for 4 to 7 year olds." The age limits are ten- tative, depending on the number Of children who respond. He explained that if the response is too great, they may have to cut one year off that age limit. Events will be planned for the older children five days a week for six to seven hours per day. Activities will include arts and "drafts, games, sports, bus trips and special days such as "Christmas Day" which was so successful last year. Steve explained, however, that the group is quite severely limited by their budget this year This area is again fortunate to receive a government sponsored Opportunities for Youth grant, and the beneficiaries will be the children of Huron Park. A group of six area young people including university students, Steve Wuerth, Don Jolly, and Mary Ann Gielan and highschool students Larry Mason, Diane McCann and Deb Walsh will be running the program which has been ten- tatively planned for children between the ages of 4 and 13. They received a total grant of $5,825 of which $755 will go for supplies and the rest for wages. The program has been named Camp CARE (Cultural And Recreational Environment). Steve Wuerth explained that it will run much along the lines of the program this same group carried out last year, although it will not include Exeter and it will be more limited because of a cut in the grant they received and the number of people working on it. Last year, 12 young people worked on the OFY project which included a type of summer recreational program for Exeter and Huron Park children. "We felt there was not as great a need for the program in and they will be looking towards local industries both for working materials, and for some form of financial assistance. For example, he said that they have no sports equipment yet - things such as basket balls, soccer balls and baseballs and bats, These were supplied by Exeter Public School last year as a contribution to the Exeter program. "We are going to try to get this equipment from JAD McCurdy School at Huron Park," said Steve, "but if we don't we are going to have to buy it". He also said they would like to sponsor at least as many bus trips as last year, but that extra money will be needed to support this as well. He said if they do find it necessary to canvass for money, it would likely not be in the Huron Park district, because the whole idea is to provide a program in Huron Park where they cannot afford to establish a regular recreational program. The group itself is hoping to raise money through some of its own activities though. In the arts and crafts section, for example, they hope to make things that can be sold, and on a day like the special "Christmas Day" they would like to have Christmas decorations to sell to bring in a little extra money this way. They would also like to get some money to pay another worker, at least part-time, but they are not certain where all this money is going to come from. The program for the children will start the first week in July and will run to the second last week in August, Don Webster accompanied by his wife Donna was one of 43 blind delegates who attended a four- day conference in Kingston for the Ontario Division of the Canadian Council of the Blind. The conference ran from May 13 to 16 during which time a series of 15 resolutions were discussed and passed. These resolutions concerned legislative recommendations, recreational suggestions and general guidelines for making blind people more independent and useful in their individual life styles. The Canadian Council of the Blind,Ontario Division consists of 31 clubs with a total membership of 9,000 blind people. The C.C.B. is the voice of Canada's 28,000 blind. It represents the interests of the blind themselves, and handles the social and recreational activities of its parent organization, the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB), the "service" agency responsible for fund- raising, research, treatment and community services. Congress does some strange things — it puts a high tax on liquor and then raises other taxes that drive people to drink.
