Babcock stressed the impor- tance of family unity and support during stressful socio-economic times. 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.

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.
