The group’s president Jim

new board member, Mrs. Betty

Vaudry led the devotions with a
reading from Galatians. His mes

of Christ. Rev. Vaudry encouraged
the board with the motto, “Be
Right and Persist.”
During the month of May the
group was involved in distributing
pamphlets in the Wingham area
and also in Listowel. These
pamphlets are sponsored by Coali
tion Life and will send the Pro-Life
message throughoutCanada. Over
7,000 were mailed in Wingham
area alone.
Mrs. Sally Campeau in the
educational report informed the
group that she had spoken at the
Teeswater Catholic Women’s
League meeting in May. The ladies
assured her that they were continu-

Parliament urging a law to protect

on C.K.N.X. during the summer
months.
Jim Bakelaar told the board that
on May 17 Senator Stanley Haidass
of Toronto introduced Bill S-16 in
the House of Commons in Ottawa.
At that time members from both
sides of the House came out in
support of this Bill. The Bill
contains a set of provisions giving
legal protection to unborn child
ren.
It was decided to give financial
support to the Way Inn shelter
which is located in the same
building as Dr. Morgentaler’s
clinic.

The naturalists showed us how
to recognize poison ivy from other
plants, and red oak from white oak
and black oak trees. We saw many
bugs, worms and frogs. They also
showed us where an Indian
hunting camp had been and where
a white man’s hunting camp had
been.
After lunch at the Pinery, we
went to the Lambton County
Museum. We watched slides about
pioneer days and then we divided
into five groups. Each group went
to a special area where we followed
the instructions in a discovery box.
Mark liked the General Store
where he saw old skates and
marbles. Ronnie enjoyed grinding
coffee beans. Jeff and Tim enjoyed
the Indian canoe. Jeff was able to
grind corn like the Indians. Sharon
enjoyed finding out how the
pioneers worked at school with
liquid ink and pens.
Kim liked the old-fashioned
wood stove in the kitchen. Toni
thought the old-fashioned wash
room was interesting. We all
learned a lot.

TRIP TO LONDON
by Christina Black - Grade 2
The following are unedited
descriptions of the grade 1 and 2
trip to London.
On Monday we went on our
school trip. We went to London
Museum. My favourite thing at
that spot was the caves. They were
neat. Then we saw the Inuit spot it
was really fun there. And then we
went in an igloo and we saw how big
it was. It was really big. And then
we went to Spring Bank Park. We
were soon done our lunch and ate at
Story Book Gardens first. I went in
the balls, and then I went on the
Beverley bounce. Mrs. Little took a
picture “click” said the camra.
And then we played again and
again. Finally we were on the bus
and home again. We had a fun and
nice joyful trip.
by Cappy Onn - Grade 2
We went to the London child
ren’s Museumandwe saw rats and
snakes and space, trucks, a
dentist’s and doctor’s office. I can’t
remember all the things. I liked the
Eskimos. The museum had a horse
made by grade 3 in another school.
I saw the dinosaur cave. I found
my way out. I looked at the bones.
They were big. Then we had lunch.
Itwas in Springbank Park. Then we
got into groups and played in
everything. I liked Beverly Bounce
and the blue ball crawl. I loved the
Jack and Jill hill with all the slides.
Itwasfunclimbingup all the steps.
Mrs. Collins bought us a space
side. It’s sorta like a popsicle. We
met at the bus then we got on the
bus and went home.
