Goderich Pro -Life read correspondence from elected ones At a general meeting of the Goderich Pro -Life group held last Monday night, letters from Parliament were read—ex. pressing views on the present abortioj legislation. The letters showed their con- cern for the present provisions that are abused and that the Criminal Code provisions on abortion should be clarified. The Federal 'government does not have jurisdiction over the application however. In- stead it is left to the individual provinces. Statistics have shown that the number of abortions perfor- med vary across the country, with a large number of them done in the Northwest Territories where the Canadian government makes the final ruling. Direct action was taken to tighten up the application of the law: It was decided that social and economic con- sideration were not to be taken into account in determining when a pregnancy could be lawfully terminated. Otto Lang, Minister of Justice stated in his" letter that those persons who would so easily end a human life through abortion may soon be willing to do so in other circumstances and that abortion, except in very limited circumstances, odght to remain a crime. In another letter, it was found. that most 1 .D.P. mem- bers were in favor of abortion on demand. This stand has already lost one of their, mem- bers in the west. All members were urged to write their Provincial -members and the N.D.P. A report was read on the Ronal Commission on the Status of Women who are recommending the widening of the abortion law in Canada. Members were asked to write Dr. Katy Cooke (chairman) asking that unborn children also be protected by the Bill of Rights - The Declaration of` -the Rights of the Child. A float will be entered in the Christmas Parade on Saturday. It was confirmed that a Birt thright Satellite is .beim 'established in Goderich to offer help to girls who wish to carry their babies to term. OODERICH SIGNAL -STAR, THURSDAY, NOVEUBBR New organization planned Christian Farmers adopt A new farm organization has been proposed. .by the Christian.", _ Farmers Federation (C.F.F.) A proposal for a United Farm Organization; was unanimously adopted as , a C.F.F. policy statement at the September meeting of the C.F.F. Provin- cial Board in Georgetown. "It is time farmers in' Ontario again tried to find a permanent way of co-operating with each other," says Martin Verkuyl, President of the Christian Far- mers Federation. "Ontario's farmers need an organization through which the present general farm organizations can co-operate effectively. At the moment there is more quarreling' than co-operation and the voice of farmers in the province is weak` - even on issues where we all agree - since there is nobody that can speak for all." Mr. Verkuyl, an Oxford County corn grower and hog producer, sees the C.F.F. proposal as a starting point for discussions across the province towards greater co-operation • between' general farm organizations... m _. _ : __ -.-__ . - .. ". Copies of the proposal are, available upon request from the C.F.F., Box 135, Drayton, Ontario.. "The decision to adopt the proposal was the climax of more than a year's work," Rays Elbert van .Donkersgoed, Secretary -Manager of the Drayton -based Federation. In Aprit,rof . 1974 the C.F.F: appointed a- Committee for a United Farm Organization to draft details of... the proposal. The Committee members were Ray Muizelaar a Jarvis area dairyman and pork producer, Tom Oegema, a turkey producer from Talbot- ville, Elbert van Donkersgoed, Federation Secretary -Manager, and Henry Westerhof a dairyman near St. Ann's. The Committee's draft was submitted to the C.F.F. Provin- cial Board in June of this year and submitted to the 15 C.F.F. locals across the province for study during the summer. The result is a proposal for a COLBORNE CORNER There will be a Card Party - Euchre and 500 in the Carlow Hall, next Wednesday Decem- ber 5 at 8:30 p.m. Lunch will be served and everybody is welcome. This is sponsored by the Colborne Township Recreation Committee and it is hoped you will come out and bring your. friends and make this a real get together. VD CLINIC The Clinic at Colborne Cen- tral School last Wednesday, November 21 on Venereal Diseases (VD) put on .by Huron County Health Unit was excep= - tionally interesting and instruc- tive. Dr. G. Frank Mills and Mrs. Thind, Supervisor of ,Public Health Nursing in Huron County, explained what, is being done to combat these dreadful' diseases and showed a very interesting film strip showing the facts about VD. MRS:6, KAI11IN6 524-1011 Those present were reminded that in order to successfully combat these diseases or any disease, people must co-operate and it is most important to_, know hoW the disease is spread and the symptoms and then to know what to do. The rate at which this disease is spreading and taking its toll ,in Canada as well as othver parts of the world • is almost unbelievable as are the after-effects of crippling; heart damage, brain damage and of- ten blindness along with other injuries. Parents are wise to take an interest and avail themselves of any opportunity to learn about present and future problems of the young generation. Attendance at the clinic was very poor, partly due to the fact it was a school holiday and mothers with young children were unable to leave home. United Farm Organization �hat...would- be- -administered by a 5 rmember elected -council responsible to independent groups such as the C.F.F., N.F.U., and_ O.F.A. • "Back in 1969," says Mr. van Donkersgoed, "the vote for a General Farm Organization (GFO) was lost because the proposal would in effect destroy the organizations that now exist. The C.F.F. proposal suggests an organization built on the organizations that are now active." The Federation wants provincial legislation `, ads so the--'UFOcould-be formed oa-- a ,50 percent plus ons vote of farmers in favour ; of the proposal: The. organization would be financed by an automatic check -off. "This,,.' says Mr. van Donkersgoed, "should not_be confused with a compulsory,'` check -off. We propose that anyone who is opposed to the work of the UFO should have the right to request that their money be, returned to them at the end of the year," THE CHILDREN'S AID SOCIETY Request Your Support At Christmas Any new or good used toys, gifts and clothing may be left ,at-- 'Ole Society's office 181 Victoria St. N.
