Auld, Minister The London outlet of IBirtlt- right is assisting about 134 women per year, reported Virginia Offen, a 'repre- sentative from London and guest speaker at the Wingham Voice for Life Association's annual meeting on Wednesday night. She explained to over 100 people attending the meeting that the office, which offers. practical assistance to preg- nant and distressed women; receives an , average of 12 calls per month from women between the ages of ' 13and 48. The average caller is a 17 - year -old high school girl, Although Mrs. Offen ad- mitted, "We don't have a standard slate of. answers,"' she did assure the crowd, that, "We get whatever that woman needs to help. her have her baby:" This cquld include :supplying a doctor, un a er speaks at r;;o-Iife group meeting roily sloe as %al'ids Dams ,Joanne Kirklal d, nlrld Iaairaf.�.

These 21$0luunteers have been eo ed to ensure they are years or older, non judgtnt'ental and pro-life: Mrs Offen' insisted they can be caller upon at any time and many get very involved with the•clients. "We'll, go right into the delivery rooni if the woman wants us to," she said;:Xding, "We are a referral `a .ency, but most important,; " e are a friend." unlike Right to Life, the Inoral,ah ous ments against premarital sex, pregnancy before mar- riage, birth control and abortion, are not issues with Birthright. The volunteers, who don't have to be Chris- tians, present the alterna- tives to abortion and help with basic needs and coun- selling during and after pregnancy If a client wishes to give her child up for adoption the group will assist with the procedures. However, Mrs. Offen stated that the agency presents the positive . and negative sides of adoption to allow the client to make up her own mind. The group stays neutral on the subject. She added that about 85 per cent of the women keep their babies and the majority of single parents are married within two years. A Birthright organization was formed in Wingham last •f `and it was reported that baby furniture, maternity clothes, and financial donations are needed. , In other business, Sally Campeau, president of the Wingham association, stated that 1980 is the Year of the Family. She asked that all members continue their fight against the shelved On- tario Health Care . Services bill that suggests minors should be able to receive non -emergency medical treatment without the specific consent of their parents. Originally the` statement included the right to have an abortion, but that has since been deleted. ' .,She said that bills such as these and the freedom to have an abortion disrupt the Lasso plus Banvel controls lambsquarters and other triazine resistant weeds in corn. • moral values and "emotional stability of the family. In order to "regain respect for life" she asked members to pray for the Right to Life cause and write to politicians so that future legislation is. directed in its favor.. Mrs. Campeau stated that Canadian taxpayers pay $15,572,000 annually for a,bortions across the country and in 1978 a total of 62,290 abortions wereperformed' in Canada, or one: abortion every 8.44 minutes. She explained that Right to Life informs the public about what an abortion is as well as providing the moral; medical, legal, physical, psychological and social aspects, as members see them. To accomplish this the group pibvides films and literature to schools, speaks ' at group meetings and sets up information 'booths.

Acute home care is de- signed for illness where a fast recovery is expected within one to. three months. Chronic home care is for ill- ness where recovery is un- likely. The program will replace hospital care but provides an extra element of health care, allowing the person to remain at home.

The existing facilities are unsuitable for the efficient operation of the health unit because of the expansion of the home care and nursing programs offered by the Ministry of Health. Medical Officer of Health Dr. Brian Lynch told county council at its meeting last Thursday that increased space for the Clinton office is essential, because it is very likely a home chronic care program will be set up in addition to the home care and nursing programs. Dr. Lynch told council he was having a meeting with the ministry on Friday to discuss setting up the chronic dare program. He said such a program has tripled the staff and space requirements in another unit where the program has been The property committee proOosed the new building be built on county owned Home for ` the Aged vat Clinton. Dr. Lynch said' a building of 3,000 to 4,000 square feet would be re- quired and estimated the cost would be between $200,000 and $300,000.
