Voice for Life campaign successful
• The Wingham Voice for Life group held
an informal evening of fellowship and
discussion on December 3. Gifts wereex-
changed and members shared their views
about recent developments in this country.
•Members believe that more and more
people are sympathetic to the pro-life
cause and expect their member of
parliament to support their views. The
success of the card campaign may 'be a
good indication of the rising interest in
ipro-life issues.
1 Various local churches are aware of the
, 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.
Another aspect of the work of pro-life
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.
"Beginnings", in Hamilton, but there are
others being contemplated or already
established in other parts of the country.
