Association needs to
remember that compassion
is a Judeo-Christian virtue.
The Board has never been
shy to admit its need for
guidance from Almighty
God, as witnessed by its
opening prayer at each
Board meeting and on other
occasions.
At the same time, the
Board is also convinced that
the financial needs of the
Association have, more than
once, _been met in ex-
traordinary ways through
the generosity of, for in-
stance, Dashwood
Industries, Limited, Lamb-
ton and Huron Coupty
Councils; the Huron County
Board of Education, the
Order of the Alhambra and
many others.
As a Board, we are acutely
aware of the ever present
danger that the care ex-
tended to the mentally
handicapped can becdme
purely professional, and that
the personal interest and
concern will disappear. This
would be more disastrous
than the shortage of funds.
That is the reason the
Board decided once again
that support for the South

Association for the IVIentally
Handicapped should come
for one reason only-to care
for the handicapped. It is a

Dear Editor:
Last year a group of home
economists, dieticians and
home economics teachers,
both active and retired, ipet
to form a group called the
Huron County Home
Economics Association. One
of its goals is to provide a
chance for professionals to
gather together and discuss
common problems and learn
new techniques for
education, It has proven to
be a very worthwhile
organization for those who
are involved.
By publicizing our events
and giving you an account of
our meetings for the
newspaper, we hope to in-
terest those of the com-
munity who are also in-
terested in home economics
education to come to our
meetings as well.
Thank you for your co-
operation and I hope you will
find space to print our
meeting reports once a
month.
Yours truly
I. Grace Bird,
Ontario Ministry
Agriculture andFood
Home Economist.

Service. in the United
Church Sunday morning was
well attended and during the
service. Mr. and ° Mrs. Bob
Stuckless were confirmed
and- received into church
membership.
Mr. and Mrs. Ed Lin-
denfield, Mr. Abraham John
and Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
Graham were welcomed
through a transfer of
membership.
Mr. Paul Schott speaking'
on the topic "The street
corner advertising agency"
pointed out that stores and
business people advertise to
sell their products. In the
same way the church should
be able to sell people on the
idea of Christianity and it
must be seen to be effective.
"Your light must shine
before people so that they
will see the good things you
do and praise your Father in
Heaven." he said.
The choir sang an anthem
and the children's story was
told by Mr. Schott. The
flowers inthe church were in
memory of the late Mrs. Jim
Cook of Grand Bend. Mr.

Mrs. Earl Dixon and her
sister, Mrs. Della Hamilton,

week after visiting for a

Mrs. Minnie Harrison was
a Saturday evening guest at
the home of Mr. and Mrs,

occasion was in honour of the
35th wedding anniversary of
Mrs. Clarke's parents, Mr.
and Mrs. • Robert Beeen,

was held at the home of Mr.

Later on, this decision was
reviewed and extended
further in that it was decided
that no project bf the South
Huron and DAMII, or its
committees, was to be
financed by lotteries.
Just recently, it became
clear to the Board that
surplus funds from the Cash-
for-Life lottery are available
for loCal projects. Again,-the
Board decided to maintain
their earlier stand.
Why? The overall reason is
the conviction that the
quality of care and
assistance extended to the
handicapped is deeply in-
fluenced by the attitude of
the donors who support this
work, The yearly Flowers of
Hope campaign on behalf of
the mentally handicapped is
always a great source of
strength to this Board, and to
the staff employed, because
the success of this campaign
in our area says, year-after-
year, we people care for the
mentally handicapped.
It is the caring and loving
attitude which makes the
widow's mite do an amazing
amount of good, also at the
SHand DAMH, the care and
concern of the community is
a measureless strength for
good, which contributes
greatly to the quality of care
extended to the han-
dicapped.

Dear Sir;
This letter is written
regarding the front page
article entitled: "Abortions
in Huron jump 75 percent"
(Times-Advocate, October
11, 1979). I would like to
commend Dr. Brian Lynch,
county M.0.11, for his honest
and forthright statements as
he reported on the alarming
increase in abortions in
Huron County in the past five
years, This is despite the
increasing emphasis on sex
education in the sphools and
the fact that contraceptives
are readily available and
vociferously promoted.
It is especially distressing
to note 'that almost 77 per-
cent of the abortions were
performed on women bet-
ween the ages of 15 and 24.
This procedure not only kills
her unborn child but also
increases the risks to her
„health and to her ability to
conceive and bear a child in
'the future.,
According to one study,
following induced abortion
there was: 50-100 percent
increase, in subsequent
perinatal deaths, 200-300
percent increase in tubal
pregnancies, 400 percent
increase in pelvic in-
flammation and menstrual
disorders, 5 percent sterility
and 30-40 percent rate of
spontaneous abortions in
subsequent pregnancies,'
The escalation is the
adolescent abortion rate
nationally is even more
frightening. Between 1972
and 1977 there was an almost
750 percent increase in the
number of abortions done on
'women under 15 years of age
(from 96 to 703) and an over
750 percent increase in the
number of abortions per-
formed on women 15 to 19
years of age (from 2,228 to
16,878). Source: Statistics
Canada 1977. It is quite
obvious that something iS
lacking-in our homes, in our
schools and in our country.
As an educator I am most
concerned about and feel a
little more qualified to
comment on the school
situation. As was pointed out
in the article, the emphasis
in most sex education
courses is on the
dissemination of information
regarding sexual function
and dysfunction and con-
traceptive technology.
Sexual rights (and rites too
for that matter) are declared
PROMOTED — David A. Greene of Exeter was promoted recently to M/Corporal at the
Armed Forces Base In Petawawa. Above, David is being congratulated by Commanding
Officer L/Col. Mialowski. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Murray Greene, Exeter.

Confirm pair at Centralia
Eleanor Scott, Mrs. Gladys
Buswell and Mrs. Iva litlair
were in charge of the
programme.
Iva Blair welcomed
everyone and read ta poem
"God's Bounties", Hymn for
For the beauty of the earth
was sung. Eleanor Scott read
the scripture.
Gladys Buswell led in
prayer and a piano solo was
played by Jean Buswell.
Marion Abbott gave a
reading Thankfulness a
habit.
Eleanor Scott introduced
Faye Blair who spoke ,and
showed slides of her work as
supervisor of the han-
dicapped children at Arc
Industries. Gladys Buswell
thanked Faye and gave her a
gift. President Freda
Rollings read two poems and
conducted the business.
It was moved that
members , start a fund for
Abraham Johns to 'get his
daughter who is ill in India to
come to London to get
treatment. It was decided to
sell calendars.
Edith Lobb gave a report
on the Presbytery meeting
that was held at Elimville
inviolate while sexual
responsibilities are rarely
mentioned-let alone being
given the prominence they
should have in any course on
human sexuality.
But adolescents are not the
only ones in need of lessons
in responsibility. Their
parents, their teachers and
their doctors 'are also in need
of , education in this area,
,Jointly they created this
literally bloody mess and
together they must seek
positive, non-violent,life-and-
health-preserving solutions
to what must be seen as
society's self-destructive
tendencies.

The first time this issue,
