. an informal evening of fellowship and
discussion on December 3. Gifts were ex-
changed and members shared their views
about recent developments in this country.

cause and expect their member of

success of the card campaign may be a
good indication a the rising interest in
pro-life issues.

importance of pro-life issues and Many of
their members submitted signed postal
cards to the Wingham Voice for Life group.
The card depicts a fetus and the message
on the back of the card expresses the view
that unborn life should be protected.
Hundreds of these cards were signed and
collected by local church groups and will be
handed over. to Member of Parliament,
Murray Cardiff as soon as possible.

groups is the establishment or the encour-
agement of half way houses which offer
counsel and hospitality to mothers in
distress. One such house of hospitality is
