This poem, from the
imagined point of view of an
unborn abortion victim, was
published on the cover of
THE TABLET, in Dunedine,
New Zealand. Editor John
Kennedy reports it evoked a
"tremendous response"
particularly from young
readers. He said the poem
will be set to music when a
song writer has been com-
missioned.
Ballad of the Unborn
My shining feet will never run
On early morning lawn;
My feet were crushed before
they had
A chance to greet the dawn.
My fingers now will never
stretch
My race was done before I
learned
The smallest steps to take.
My growing height will never
be
Recorded on the wall;
My growth was stopped when
I was still
Unseen and very small.
My lips and tongue will never
taste
The good fruits of the earth ;
For I myself was judged to be
, A fruit of little worth.
My eyes will never scan the

The Honourable 'Leo
Bernier, Minister of Natural
Resources, announces the
approval of a provincial
grant of $4,500.00 to the
Ausable Bayfield Con-
servation Authority for the
proposed Crediton Con-
servation Area.
The Authority proposes to
acquire some six acres of
land in the Township of
Stephen; just east of the
Village of Creditdn, for the
establishment of this Con-
servation Area.
The Authority's purpose in
acquiring this property is to
rovide a day -use recreation
p
ai ea w►tn facilities for
fishing, picnicking, hiking
and swimm&ig.
The Township of Stephen,
as the main benefiting
municipality,' will bear the
Authority's share of the
cost.
The-,- provincial. grant
covers approved costs of
land acquisition; legal,
appraisal and survey fees;
and perimeter fencing.
Development plans for
1975 include ' fencin'g,
brushing and clearing, and
renovations to the old barn.
Major development of
facilities will not take place
until 1976.
Dear Editor:
Many people are finding it
harder to "make ends meet".
Paychecks do not buy as
much as they used to.
Housewives observe that
nearly everything in the
stores costs more.
The root of the problem is
inflation - that is, constantly
rising prices. That has been
the pattern for many
decades. In 1974 the rate of
inflation world wide was
higher than ever before.
Because of inflation, it takes
more, and more of your
money to buy the same
things.
The New York Times
recently reported: "No
matter how severe food price
inflation has been in the
United States, it has been
