Small crowd attend peace vigil
GODERICH - Imagine all the
people living in harmony
was one of the messages
given during a half-
hour peace vigil to ap-
proximately
50 people,
Thursday.
Below -
freezing tempera-
tures and slippery road conditions
could have been a factor in the
low attendance at the vigil which
was originally set for the Goderich
Courthouse Square, but adverse
weather conditions forced them to
set up in the Livery.
Goderich mayor Eileen Palmer
was the first to speak.
"One must remember how
George Bush promised a kinder,
gentler nation and one wonders
what happened ... we interpret that
as hope not ammunition," said
Palmer`
"We hear our Prime Minister
speak about moral obligation. We
have moral obligation to provide
homes for the homeless and food
for the people of our country," she
said.
Palmer said she did not denounce
the Canadian military in the Gulf,
adding, "We are gathered here to-
night to,ray for odr local men and
women.

Queensway
Nursing Home
HENSALL - Queensway resi-
dents are enjoying our Monday af-
ternoon baking sessions this month.
We experimented with cheese bis-
cuits this past week.
Rev. Bob DeGraw of Faith Tab-
ernacle led our Tuesday church ser-
vice for the first time, with his wife
Phyllis as pianist. Everyone had a
time of fellowship and refresh-
ments following the service in or-
der to get to know the couple. We
look forward to having them beck
soon.
In keeping with resident request
we viewed an animal film Thurs-
day afternoon entitled Zookeepers.
This was an excellent film about
the animals and their keepers at the
Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago.
Larry and Gail Mason and their

ship Singers for their monthly Pro-

Guest speaker Rob Bundy said he
was not at the vigil to protest the
war, but to support peace in Cana-
da.
"Instead of saying 'no' to war, say
'yes' to peace," he said. "War has
been reduced to a 'storm' in the
desert. We must remember inno-
cent people in a far -away land are
being denied their right to live."
Guest speaker Julie Lee of the
Survival through Friendship House
in Goderich , also a speaker at the
Montreal Massacre vigil last
month, said the key to a peaceful
world begins at home.
Lee said communication and a lit-
tle bit of soulsearching are required
during war times, and that violence
is not a solution.
