pay for abortions at public clinics.
Robin Dunbar, RR 1, Ethel
reminded the meeting however,
that the abortion law had been put
in place to avoid women resorting
to “the quack in the alley with a
coat-hanger’’. Abortions had been
legalizedfor a reason, he said, but
agreed that “as a method of birth
control it’s not to be advocated.”
Brussels council briefs
Council debates rents
at Brussels Library
A few dollars in library rent
bought a whole lot of debate at
Brussels council Monday night.
Councillor Betty Graber started
the debate when she wondered if
the rent for Guides and Brownies
who use the lower library rooms for
their meetings couldn ’t be lowered
or foregone entirely.
Councillor Neil McDonald didn ’t
think any group should be allowed
to use the building rent-free or it
would start a precedent. It was
noted that rent for non-profit
groups was only $4 a month.
“You’re talking a dollar a week,”
Reeve Gordon Workman said.
Costs for things like janitorial
services keep going up year by
year, he said.
HughHanly, Clerk-treasurer
presented figures on the various
costs of running the building last
year. It appeared, he said, there
would be a surplus of about $1,500
in operation of the building.
Councillor Graber, supported by
Councillor Ruth Sauve proposed a
motion that the Brownies and
Mr. McQuail agreed that “legis
lating that there will be no
abortions doesn’t mean there will
be no abortions. ’ ’ Abortion is a real
issue that needs real leadership not
political expediency. The NDP
should take a creative approach
thatemphasizessupportfor the
family in the same way many of its
other policies support the family,
he said.
The debate was part of a
Guides be given the use of the
building rent free but got no
support.
After more debate a second
motion proposing the Brownies
and Guides each get a donation of
$25 but leaving the rent the same
was proposed and carried.*****
The good work of the Brussels
Horticultural Society was reward
ed with an increase in council’s
donation to the group from $400 to
$500 this year.
Council also approved a grant of
$50 to the Belgrave, Blyth and
Brussels School Fair and a grant of
$250 to the Brussels Agricultural
Society.*****
It’s going to cost more for a
sewer inspection fee following
notification from the Huron County
Health Department that its charge
to the village will increase. The cost
will rise from $23 to $25.*****
The next meeting of council will
be March 7 at 7 p.m.
wide-ranging review of issues
discussed by members in an
attempt to help the party executive
prepare a platform for the next
election.
Free trade dominated much of
the discussion. Party members
warned against letting the NDP get
trapped into appearing to be
against the deal without alterna
tives and being open to the charge
of being afraid of competition. “I
don’t think it should be a yes or
no, ’ ’ Mr. Dunbar said. ‘ ‘I think the
conceptisrightbutcan we trust
this guy to give us a good deal?”
Len Hope of Port Elgin suggest
ed the party should hold a series of
forums in the riding to show people
what would really be effected by
the deal.
On the weekend when the NDP
ata national level was wrestling
with its policy on whether or not
Canada shpuld remain in NATO,
local party supporters also showed
division. Mr. Dunbarwondered
why, when Canadian farmers are
being put out of business by
German farmers, Canada is spend
ing $1 billion a year on Canadian
troops in Germany to protect them.
“The NDP is being teased on
this (NATO policy),” Mr. Proulx
said. “Are we advocating a
complete pull-out?’’ He was in
formed there was a policy meeting
going on that day to review the
former policy of advocating Cana
da should pull out of NATO.
Earlier in the meeting the riding
association adopted a new consti
tution for the newly-expanded
ridingand named an executive.
Members of the executive are:
president, Tony McQuail, Luck
now; vice-president, Norma Peter
son, Kincardine; secretary, Joce
lyn deBoer, Lucknow; treasurer,
Fran McQuail, Lucknow; members
at large, Heather Klopp, Zurich
and Len Hope, Port Elgin.
