Don Pennell, interim organizer of the new provincial pro-life, pro -family party, the Family Coalition Party, will be guest speaker. The dinner is open to everyone. The group continues to provide literature for students doing projects on abortion. The fetal models and the McGoey films (Family Life Film Series) have been requested by area schools. CKNX TV commercial time will be pur- chased for another year. The group will seek to have two or three new commer- cials produced by CKNX. These commer- cials will feature women who have had a s . rtions and wish to share their feelings experience. Four members attended the first All - Ontario Pro -Life Conference in London on March 27 and 28. Many speakers provided stimulating food for thought. Among the speakers were Alphonse DeValk, author and historian, Jim Jepson, .M.P. London East, Dr. Reg Bannister M.D. and Beverly Hadland. Miss Hadland, director of the Abortion Crisis Centre in Toronto, spoke of her two abortions and related that these abortions had "messed up my life". As a result she is doing all in her power to save other girls and women from the same disaster. Her message was clear: "Don't abort; immorality is the problem; the answer is, "Say no" — to sex outside of marriage." A very interesting panel on Teen -Aid provoked lively discussion. Teen -Aid is a curriculum in human sexuality, designed for teens. Education main idea behind WIs By Geraldine Campbell PRO London Area WI The, aim of education for rural women was one of the main ideas behind the establishment of The Women's Institute 90 years ago. Although the topics covered have changed over the years the principle hasn't. Each Women's Institute branch organizes their own programme to suit the interests to their members. In the past year one branch has had speakers or pro- grammes on the following: colours and scarf tying, The Associated Country Women of the World Conference in Ireland, the treatment and care of crippled and handicapped children, painting of pot- tery, cooking Ontario Food in the Microwave, touring the farms in the Coun- ty, agriculture in the classroom, Free Trade, New Zealand, care of children in the Childrens Hospital of Western Ontario, Family Law Act, adoption and how to become a Canadian citizen, cooking and preparing beef and preparing meals quickly. By attending workshops on a county basis other topics were covered, including Prince Edward Island, geneology, job sharing, effective parenting, positive thinking, planning a wardrobe, exercise, resume writing, job searching, starting a business, how to manage drugs and more. Last year at the London Area meeting the theme speaker was on the safe disposal of Nuclear Waste. The year before it was on Organ Transplants. So the topics that are covered at WI meetings areAfeatured as stories in the media at a later date e.g. job sharing, organ transplants. If you want to belong to an organization which has proven the principle of educa- tion of rural women with up-to-date topics is as relevant today as it was 90 years ago, join a Women's Institute. Within the Lon- don Area there are 114 branches. The On- tario Ministry of Agriculture and Food will be able to tell you where the nearest branch is located.
