Actions of a few should
not taint organization
To the editor:
This is in response of a
movement by some who are out to
discredit the pro life movement: As
in any group, we should not blame
or 'taint an organization by the
negative action of a few.
Love the key.
Love: the beautiful word, th'e
great commandment and the most
important law of God. If obeyed
and lived by man, life would be
beautiful. For where there is love
there is no hatred, no destruction,
,no envy or selfishness. Love is
positive. Love is giving. Love is
constructive and, therefore, love is
life most beautiful.
My energy is directed towards the
promotion of . the dignity and
sanctity of God-given life. Pro-life)
means much more than a fight
against abortion, although it is at
the root of theviolence that fol-
lows.
Disrespect for life has resulted in
a dramatic increase in child abuse,
pornography, violence in schools

You cannot put any other colored

you deposit must be clean and dry.
• IE is important for all of us to be
involved in recycling, but we must
know what we are doing. Maybe if
we take a little more time to think
when . we are throwing out, our
'cops' won't be faced with this
horrendous task again.

dieduck mini bike rodeo last week. In an Interview with Jamie,
he said, "My duck just won't do what it's supposed to, and he's
giving me a headache!" Jamie persevered and managed to
finish the course around a number of little sand palls. (Pat
