The Blyth U.C.W.'s year end meeting was
held at tche Baumans at which members
listened to reports stating the progress of
each department, and also that of the three
units. The quilting department, under the
direction of Dorothy Deer, were con-
gratulated for thein year's achievement - 40
quilts.
Adeline Campbell read the minutes of the
November meeting'as well as those of Dec.
1983. Treasurer Mary Wightman put into the
hands of each a financial statement which
showed an excellent year. ..
For the worship service, Rena Watt was
at the piano for the singing of two carols and
a duet "Silent Night" by Betty Nethery and
Pro -Lifers ex
WINGHAM - The Wingham Voice for Life
group held an informal evening of
fellowship and discussion on December 3.
Gifts were exchanged and members shared
their views about recent developments in
this country.
They believe that more and more people
are sympathetic to the pro-life cause and ex-
pect the member of parliament to support
the group's views.
The success of the card campaign may be
a good indication of the rising interest in
pro-life issues. Various local churches are
aware of the importance of pro-life issues
and many of their members submitted sign-
ed postal cards to the Wingham Voice for
Life group. The card depicts a fetus and the
message on the back of the card expresses
the view that unborn life should be pro-
Melda McElroy who also gave the Medita-
tion, "Finding the Christ". Myrtle Vodden's
call to worship was the reading of a
favourite essay of hers about a man who did
more to change the world for the better than
any other. A man who had a lowly stable for
a birthplace and a cruel death on a cross.
President Susan Howson stated that the
executive will meet next January when the
two afternoon units will be organized for the
next two years. _
Several ladies from the Onward Unit serv-
ed tea, coffee and trays of cookies and
squares which were enhanced by pieces of

tected. Hundreds of these cards were signed
and collected by local church groups and
will be handed over to M.P. Murray Cardiff
as soon as possible.
Another aspect to the work of pro-life
groups is the establishment or the en-
couragement of half -way houses which offer
counsel and hospitality to mothers in
distress. One such house of hospitality is
"Beginnings", in Hamilton, but there are
others being contemplated or already
established in other parts of the country.
The annual dinner meeting will be held on
Wednesday, May 1, possibly in Brussels.
The Wingham Voice for Life Society is in-
terested in increasing its active member-
ship in the New Year and invites everyone to
come to this function or to make inquiries
about the society's work.

Council opposes museum renovation plan,
EAST WAWANOSH TWP. - Council is not
in favor of a proposal to renovate the Huron
County Pioneer Museum at Goderich
because it deems the cost of the project ex-
cessive.
The projected cost of the restoration is
$2,137,520 to be paid over five years. East
Wawanosh's per annum share is $6,081 or
almost $32,000 over five years.
The matter was discussed at the
December meeting of council after the coun-
cillors had been given one month to gather
comments from ratepayers.
Reeve Neil Vincent said anyone he had
Seniors get meeting place
BLYTH- The downtown core of the village
now has a drop-in cbntre for seniors. The
centre, located in the room that formerly
housed the small library in the Memorial
Hall, will offer shoppers a rest area and
washroom facilities. Seniors will be able to
gather here to play cards and escape the
blustery winter weather.
"The Board of Health has inspected the
room and there has been a new wash basin
installed, the facilities have been cleaned
and three storm windows have also been in-
stalled," explained Councillor Bill Manning.
Ralph McCrea will open the building at 9
a.m. and lock it up at 6 p.m. Mr. McCrea
reported to council that opening . day
(November 4) saw three people drop by to
play cards..

spoken to is in favor of keeping the museum
open. However they also said that since it is
located at Goderich and that town will'
derive 95 per cent of the monetary benefits,
Goderichshould be willing to pay at least •
one-third of the total cost.
Other council members said they had
similar feedback. Councillor Vaughn Toll
said East Wawanosh should have held a
public meeting to discuss the museum ques-
tion like some other local municipalities
have done.
Councillor Fred Meier was not quite as
generous as some of .the others, saying he
would close the Goderich Museum and send
everything •to the Ontario. Agricultural
Museum at Milton.
Mr..: Meier toned his remarks down
somewhat later when he suggested the coun-
ty should consider scaling down the size of
the restoration project.
The other councilmembers agreed with'
him and a'motion was made to that effect,
which was to be sent to the agricultural and
property committee at the county.
Severance opposed
East Wawanosh council expressed its op-
position to a severance application by
..Hullett residents Gordon . and Laura
Chamney. Even through the Chamneys do
not live in East Wawanosh, the proposed
severance possibly could place restrictions
on neighboring landowners in East
Wawanosh.
The Chamneys propose to retain one acre
of land, upon which their house is located,
and sever the farm's remaining 122•acres.
Mr. Vincent said he opposes an outright
severance in this natter, but would favor a.
lifelong lease for the property. Such a lease
would allow the present owners to live in the
house for as long as they desire, after which
the house would revert back to the farm.
Mr. Meier also said he favored a lifelong
lease and after some further discussion, the
