• Discuss Huron abortions, lottery for mentally handicapped
•
Dear Sir:
This letter is tvritten
regarding the front page
article entitled: "Abortions
in Huron jump 75 percent"
(Times -Advocate, October
II, 19791. I would like to
commend Dr. Brian Lynch,
county M.O.H. for his honest
and forthright statements as
he reported on the alarming
increase in abortions in
Huron County in the past five
years. This is despite the
increasing emphasis on sex
education in the schools and
the fact that contraceptives
are readily available and
vociferously promoted.
It is especially distressing
to note that almost 77 per-
cent of the abortions were
performed on women bet-
ween the ages of 15 and 24.
This procedure not only kills
her unborn child but -also
increases the risks to her
health and to her ability to
conceive and bear a child in
the future.,
According to one study,
following induced abortion
there was: 50-100 percent
increase. in subsequent
perinatal deaths, 200-300
percent increase in tubal
pregnancies, 400 percent
increase in pelvic in-
flammation and menstrual
disorders, 5 percent sterility
and 30-40 percent re of
spontaneous abortiofis in
subsequent pregnancies.
The escalation is the
adolescent abortion rate
nationally is even more
frightening. Between 1972
and 1977 there was an almost
750 percent increase in the
number of abortions done on
women under 15 years of age
(from 96 to 703) and an over
750 percent increase in the
number of abortions per-
formed on women 15 to 19
years of age (from 2,228 to
16,878). Source: Statistics
Canada 1977. It is quite
obvious that something is
lacking -in our homes, in our
schools and in our country.
As an educator I am most
concerned about and feel a
little more qualified to
comment on the school
situation. As was pointed out
in the article, the emphasis
in most sex education
courses is on the
dissemination of information
regarding sexual function
and dysfunction and coh-
traceptive technology.
Sexual rights (and rites too
for that matter) are declared

same way the church should
be able to sell people on the
idea of Christianity and it
must('be seen to be effective.
"Yur light must shine
beforpeople so that they
will see the good things you
do and praise -your Father in
Heaven." he said.
The choir sang an anthem.
and the children's story was
told by Mr. Schott. The

inviolate while sexual
responsibilities are rarely
mentioned -let alone being
given the prominence they
should have in any course on
human sexuality.
But adolescents are not the
only ones in need of lessons
in responsibility, Their
parents, their teachers and
their doctors are also in need
of education in this area.
,Jointly they created this
literally bloody mess and
together they must seek
positive, non-violent ,life -and -
health -preserving solutions
to what must be seen as
society's self-destructive
tendencies.

Dear Mr. Editor,
At a recent meeting df the
Board of Directors of the
South Huron and District
Association for the Mentally
Handicapped, the tottery
issue was discussed once
more.
The first time this issue
faced the Board occurred
when the Cash -for -Life
lottery was begun by the
Ontario Association for the
Mentally Handicapped. The
South Huron and District
DAMHdecided against par-
ticipation in that lottery.
• Later on, this decision was
reviewed and extended
further in that it was decided
that no project bf the South
Huron and DAMIL, or its
committees, was to be
financed by lotteries.
Just recently. it became
clear. to the Board that
surplus funds from the Cash -
for -Life lottery are available
for kcal projects. Again, the
Board decided to maintain
their earlier stand
Why? The overall reason is
the conviction that the
quality of care and
assistance extended to the
handicapped is deeply in-
fluenced by the attitude of
the donors who support this
work. The yearly Flowers of
Hope campaign on behalf of
the mentally handicapped is
always a great source of
strength to this Board. and to
the staff employed. because
the success of this campaign
in our area says. year -after -
year, we people care for the
mentally handicapped.
It is the caring and loving
attitude which makes the
widow's mite do an amazing
amount of good. also at the
SHand DAMH, the care and
concern of the community is
a measureless strength for
good, which contributes
greatly to the quality of care
extended to the han-
dicapped.
As Board members we dare
not exchange the com-
munity's personal concern
and care, for cold cash.
, Furthermore, as a Board,
we are convinced that the
Association' needs to
remember that compassion
is a Judeo-Christian virtue.
The Board has never been
shy to admit its need for
guidance from Almighty
God, as witnessed by its
opening prayer at each
Board meeting and on other
occasions.
At the same time, the
Board is also convinced that
the financial needs of the
Association have, more than
once, -been met in ex-
traordinary ways through
the generosity of, for in-
stance, Dashwood
Industries. Limited. Lamb -
ton and Huron Coupty
Councils, the Huron County
Board of Education, the
Order of the Alhambra and
many others.
Asa Board. we are acutely
aware of the ever present
danger that the care ex-
tended, to the mentally
handicapped can become
purely professional, and that
the personal interest and
concern will disappear. This
would he more disastrous
than the shortage of funds.
That is the reason the
Board decided once again
that support for ttie South
Huron and District
Association for the Mentally,
Handicapped should come
for one reason only -to care
for the handicapped. It is a
privilege to- have the op-
portunity to be a part of such
a group of people
Henry Van Essen
Dear Editor:
Last year a group of home
economists, dieticians and
home economics teachers,
both active and retired, (pet
to -form a group called the
Huron County Home
Economics Association. One
of its goals is to provide a
chance for professionals to
gather together and discuss
common problems and learn
new techniques for
education. It has proven to
be a very worthwhile
organization for those who
are involved.
By publicizing our events
and giving you an account of
our meetings for the
newspaper, we hope to in-
terest those of the com-
munity who are also in-
terested in home economics
education to come to our
meetings as well.
Thank you for your co-
operation and I hope you will
find space to print our
meeting reports once a
month.
Yours truly
I. Grace Bird,
Ontario Ministry
Agriculture and Food
Home Economist.
Huron County Home
Economics Association.
