the words of the Woodie
Guthrie classic "This Land
is Your Land" to apply to

stealing a Canadian song and
making it American.

Pro Life group elects new officers
Goderich and District Pro
Life Group elected officers
for the coming year, and set
up committees at their
meeting on October 13.
The officers are: Ken
Reidy, president; Peter
Dykstra, vice-president;
Miss Helen McCarthy,
secretary and Mrs. Teresa
Courtney, treasurer.
Committee chairpersons
are: membership, Mrs.
Elsie Dykstra; education,
Mrs. Clarice Dalton and
publicity, Mrs. Sandra
Maaskant.
Plans for the coming year
will focus on education,
assisting Birthright and en-
couraging the growth ' of
palliative care service for
the dying person - where, the
dying person is treated with
dignity and respect, given
adequate medication to
alleviate pain and is sur-
rounded by helpful, sensitive
staff and visited by friends
and family who are free to
visit without restriction of
time. It is a very warm and
supportive atmosphere
towards dying persons in
their last days of living. The
term palliate means to ease
without curing.
Palliative care is part of
the Hospice Movement
which originated in England.
It was pioneered by Dr. Cice-
ly Saunders at St.
Christopher's Hospice in
England and in Canada by
Dr. Belfour Mount, Royal
Victoria Hospital, Montreal.
The word `hospice' in
medieval times meant
hospitality, an inn for
travellers, strangers,
guests...and for the sick. To-
day the word has returned to
modern language to describe
a concept that has revolu-
tionized Western medicine.
Using highly sophisticated
techniques of pain and symp-
tom control, while refusing
to adopt "heroic" methods of
resuscitation in inap-
propriate situations, the
hospice approach helps ter-
minally ill patients face
death without pain or fear.
Dr. Saunders gave a public
lecture on Thursday even-
ing, October 29 on 'Living
with Dying' at Alumni Hall,
University of Western On-
tario. Sponsoring bodies
were the university and The
Westminster Institute for
Ethics and Human Values.
Attending the lecture from
Goderich was Connie
Osborn.
Hospice is a concept which
can take many different
forms, whether it is a
building near a general
hospital connected to a home
care organization or a
palliative care unit within a
hospital or a more simplified
form where there is a
palliative care team,
hospital based, using doctors
and nurses as consultants
and trained volunteers;'
either in hospital or in their
own home with support of
home care service.
In Huron County the
V.O.N. give home care nurs-
ing for dying patients.
Which ever form `hospice'
or `palliative care' takes, the
emphasis, is on pain control
and caring personnel using a
team approach.
The Goderich and District
Pro Life Group is an educa-
tional organization and
speakers are available to
other groups and organiza-
tions and schools. Speakers
can be booked through the
education chairman, Clarice
Dalton 529-7530.
Plans are underway to
enter a float in the Goderich
Christmas parade. Chair-
man for the float is Peter
Dykstra. Also, Pro Life
Christmas cards are
available through most
board members.
A membership drive is
underway in Clinton, St.
Joseph, Goderich and
Kingsbridge. There were ap-
proximately 530 members
last year.
Monthly meetings have
been set for the corning year
on the second Tuesday of
each month, 7:30-9 p.m. in
the Knights of Columbus
Rooms, 15 Caledonia Ter-
race, Goderich. Members
and interested people are
welcome.
