Then in March, 1941, following publication of an article on A.A. by Jack Alexander in the Saturday Evening Post, demand from desperate alcoholics put the sales on an accelerating curve which has continued for fifty years. Originally priced at $3.50, the so-called "Big Book" retails today for only $3.60, despite skyrocketing book publishing costs.

Centennial kindergarten students visit hospital BRUCEFIELD - On May 8 the Kindergarten class from Huron Centennial School had the experience of visiting the Seaforth and District Hospital. They enjoyed riding on the elevator and they touched the cast cutter; it tickled! ! They got their blood pressure taken, and they saw the x-ray room. They also saw needles and stretchers. They even saw a new thermometer that goes in your ear. Some of the children that tried it said it doesn't even hurt. The children got a snack of cheese, juice, and vegetables. All the children had a good time, and enjoyed learning about hospitals. This week in 1B, Mrs. Shaddick is the Very Important Person of the week. She brought the ingredients for -the class to make ice-cream sundaes. There were some very delicious looking sundaes. Young Artists The Grade 3s and 2C are making beautiful art color etchings to give to their mothers on Mother's Day. The nine-year-old are looking forward to their first field day.

On June 12, 1988, unknown persons, both males 13-15 years in age were seen in the area of Sutton Drive, Huron Haven trailer park, north of Goderich. Both parties were 5'4" to 5'6" and both had brown hair. One male was wearing flowered shorts, a T-shirt and running shoes and the other was wear- ing a light blue T-shirt, blue jeans and runn- ing shoes. One of the parties was pudgy. During the time these youths were seen in the area a local residence was damaged to the tune of $700. The aluminum siding was dented along with damage to the air condi- tioner and two aluminum doors. On two occasions, a family cat in the area was tortured when the fur was burnt around the face and ears, and once someone tried to hang the cat.

If you don't win, you're soon forgotten - it's time for Mr. Broadbent to step down, it's time for a new leader to take over and the race is on." On John Turner, Vanwoudenberg, said "Irrespective of how you feel about the man, or his policies or his party, you must admit that he fought a hard fight. He came out of the debate a winner and people rallied behind him. What had looked like a lost cause before the debate looked a like a new winning streak, but in the final minute Mr. Turner lost .Almost ianmediately, cries went up again, as we heard so many times in the past - it's time for Mr. Turner to step down. We need a new leader, new charisma, perhaps someone from the west. As leader of the CHP, with a team of 63 candidates, Vanwoudenberg said his party ran a hard race, his candidates with him, and while they didn't win at all - no seats, no candidates elected - he asked, "Is this the time for the CHP to measure its success by exactly the same standards, and say its time for a new leader, a new face, a new ap- proach; lets take some political anabolic steroids for that; lets try to improve our per- formance in the short sprint, never mind the long race? Or do we measure our success by different standards?" His answer was, "Yes, we should measure our success by the biblical race." He referred to the Apostle Paul speaking of a race who said "We must rim this race to the very end, upon completion of that race to the very end, you will reach your crown. Vanwoudenberg said the difference is, "We do not receive that crown because we did so well - because we won the gold medal or the leadership - we receive that crown because it has been obtained for us already. Because of our faith, our convictions, our commit- ment to Christ, ... we know at the end of our race there awaits the crown." Van- woudenberg said his party runs different- ly, they run with love in their heart for God and country and they run to the bitter end. He said that everyone that worked in the last election were winners. "The CHP is not in the race just for this election ... we are not in this race just for power or success, we are in this because of obedience. If we lose sight of that goal, if we lose sight of the fact that we have been called upon as citizens and as Christians and as fellow Canadians to run based on obedience, we have already lost the race before we have even started." Vanwoudenberg said that with that goal in mind and when they become tired of the fighting, there awaits for them a crown. The parties political ob- jection in the next four years he said is to strive to serve God and country . He said he was not preaching theology but he was preaching the political gospel "which roust be applicable to every way of life in every step -we do. It applies to economics, environ- ment, families, farms, to our nation." When asked how he feels about the past election, Vanwoudenberg replies tongue-in- cheek, "What election, we never had an election we had a referendum. We never a talked about the issues that should have been talked about in the election, we only .talked about one issueandthatwasthe issue of free trade - itdomineeredthe whole con- ference, it domineered 'the whole public debate, it domineeredeverymove .wemade and we were forced. to reply. We tried to point out to,people that there was more to this election !than free trade,.andrwhabdid we receive? tWe receivedeleetion,promises, now .we,have,budget realities."

In reference ;tot the rel ent tbudget, %an- oweudenberg.s&id,herlstiwiUing:asaCanadfan totmake;'the sac 'ee ,found,;in ,a tough budget. Tie referred to :Mulroney's-staite- ment regarding running the nation as we would run a family and said, "I call upon the prime minister to run as the head of a household and show in word and deed that he means business, that he begins to act as the father of a nation. I don't see that exam- ple that must be set, morally, socially and economically in order to bring this nation back to good wholesome living." One element he said is missing from the good old days was "We were a nation of the God." Abortion Issue On the abortion issue, he said "Who would have dreamt that 35, 40 years ago we would have in our nation a vacuum and a lack of law to deal with one of the greatest crimes which one can commit - the crime of murder? Who would have believed that we would have a Supreme Court washing their hands and passing the buck and we'd have a parliament that does the same thing? It's like playing a ping pang game, the ball gets thrown from one court and back again and every year 60,000 unborn children lose their lives. Who would have dreamt that in our country we would have the need for Opera- tion Rescue? Who would have thought it possible that people who kills babies are pro- tected and that those who to try to stop go to jail?" He referred to the abortion issue as "one of the greatest political decisions the prime minister may ever make, for life or for free standing abortion clinics. If he makes a decision for life, he'll alienate thousands of people, that could very well cost him the election next time; if he votes for free stan- ding abortion clinics or a22 week gestation period he will drive thousands of Christians into' the arms of the CHP." Vanwoudenbeeg said that members of the CHP are not yet aware of how great an im- pact they have made. Daycare The CHP, according to Vanwoftdenberg , "has the old fashioned approach - we believe that every child in this nation has a right to mother care, instead of having a right to universal day care." They believe the best environment for children is the home with loving parents. The family is vital to child motivation, personality development, creativity and role modelling. Day care should be provided based on need, not want. Meech Lake Accord Vanwoudenberg said that the Meech Lake Accord, "will do more to this nation to deprive us of individual freedom than any piece of legislation every introduced." He likened the accord to a hostage incident, "Quebec says you sign it then we'll negotiate." He compared Meech Lake to of a family, saying, "We have ten provinces and two territories. We have one very naughty child - Quebec - and this naughty child is demanding more privileges than the other children combined and I think the time has come for father to say, I love you son, but not at the expense of the rest of the family." The task of the CHP in the next four years, according to Vanwoudenberg is, "to address the Canadian people from the command- ments, to love God above all and love thy neighbour as yourself. All political parties use situational ethics to find a solution, the CHP has the ethics and applies it to the situation." In the Huron -Bruce riding the member- ship in the CHP has increased to approx- imately 250. Following his stop in Lucknow, Van- woudenberg visited Simcoe Centre, York Simcoe and Cambridge. A two week tour of Ontario was planned. TO EVERYONE IN SEAFORTH AND AREA: KROEHLER.
