Guest speaker was to be Allen Grossman, but because of the recent change in his cabinet position, his former parliamentary assistant, Gordon Walker took his place, In Mr, Walker's speech, it was said that the Conservatives have retained leadership in the province because of their ability to communicate with the elec- torate,, even in times of in- creasing impersonalization. Of the NDP, Mr. Walker said that they are "wolves in sheep's clothing." In order to get elected, he said, the "socialists" are quite willing to adopt the air of small- conservatives, but if in power, "they would not hesitate to nationalize industries." The Liberal leadership, he said is characterized by an "inability to grasp what is going on around him," (the leader). The Conservatives, he said, are "never more than ten minutes behind the times. We are not a party of the left, or of the right or centre," he said, "we are a party of the people." A question was raised to the effect that Dashwood had made plans for a picnic area, but had been informed that provincial grants were not available for that purpose, Mr. Walker said he would look into the matter, and answer the query in writing, In business matters, municipal chairmen were named for some areas. In Stephen Township Ken Baker is proposed for municipal chairman with Wilmer Wein as assistant and in Usborne town- ship George Frayne continues as chairman. Usborne poll chairmen Delmar Skinner, Laverne Skinner, Wm. Pincombe, Archie Ethering ton, Lloyd Ferguson, Keith Coates, Edwin Miller, Theron Creary, John Stewart, Ross Francis, John McElrea and Garth Blackler. Stephen Elmer Powe, Gerald Dearing, Wilmer Wein, Paul Schenk, Arnold McCann, Donald Bender, Ken Baker, Russell Brown, Keith Gill and Frank Boyle. Cheri Wedlake, Lauralee T-A photo television - "Care for the little children." Now is this appealing to blind sentimentality? You could argue this situation is different. No doubt there are differences but I think my point is valid. For the pictures showing hungry children are not meant to arouse 'blind human sen- timentality, but rather, I take them to be intended to reveal the reality that we so easily ignore or hide when we simply think of it in terms of hunger, poverty, or underdeveloped nations. So likewise, such terms as fetus or abortion can :hide the reality those words portray. A picture cuts through such hiding. Allow me to say one more thing before I 'finish. Rev. Robinson states his conviction that we are dealing with humans, whether that be potential or actual, in the abortion question. However, in the very next paragraph he states that the whole abortion question should be decided between the woman' and the doctor. That raises two questions. First, has the father any say in the matter? And secondly and much more significantly, should there not be someone to speak on behalf of the the child? Has the unborn child no claims to -just and fair treatraerit.%I. suspect that traditionally, „the church has thought herself to be the champion of the weak and felt called upon to stand up for the rights of those too powerless to speak for themselves. But wait . .I can see that, here I am opening a flood gate of questions, and I would therefore welcome with open arms a public debate, which Rev. Robinson himself suggests, so we may discuss this dilemma as rational and moral human beings. Sincerely, Rev. jack Roeda From the Lansing, .Mich. State Journal: "Fierce guests shoved a new house '12 feet off its foun- dation," / • Dear Mr. Batten: As a person who is in contact with many of our less fortunate citizens, I was most interested in the views of the Right to Life movement presented recently at the High School. Daily, as a Field Worker, I visit people who are handicapped in many ways - emotionally, physcially, and perhaps most of all, financially. Perhaps the most profound discovery I have made since I began this work eight months ago, is that most manage their handicaps most remarkably, - likely as well as the average person who does not have to rely on the goodness of society to see them through. Let's face it - there are good and bad in every heirarchy. , I for one, don't believe there is any easy solution to the issue of abortion, All that can be said is that society will have to change its attitude in many ways before anything can change (not only the Right to Life advocates, but also the pro-abortionists.) A plug for the Right to Life movement - one of their ideas is that rather than condone abor- tion', society should be prepared to assist the pregnant woman - whether she is an unwed girl or a married woman with tenchildren - to adjust to her condition. If she is in need of emotional support, or financial support, it should be, forthcoming from the whole community. This is a fantastic concept; I'm sure we'd all be happier if we were to "think a little more of others, and a little less of me". But let's face it - society as a whole is not ready to accept this responsibility. • How many churches or other community groups would welcome the unwed mother sincerely, without any thought to the "shameful" act she has committed? How many parents of legitimate children would not turn up their noses at the thought of their-, offspring associating with the illegitimate? People are terrible hypocrites when faced with the actual event (and I'm not pleading complete innocence), One more point - why should a mother or father who must live on "Welfare" (a rather sad word) have to raise another child, when they sometimes can't manage the ones they have, either financially or emotionally? The public purse will stretch only so far. Now, I'm not advocating mass slaughter of unborn children, or evaluating the worth of either unborn or already born. Basically, I detest the thought of, abortion, because I truly believe it is the easy way out. But any woman who would actively seek and undergo an abortion cannot possibly be emotionally prepared to have the child or the abortion would not occur. I still believe that in some cases, abortion h.:highly justified, carefully regulated, until the time that society reaches the point, of understanding and empathy needed to deal with this task of caring. One answer may be mass education of the public in birth control, and sex education. Persons should be aware of consequences resulting from intercourse, and be prepared to accept' them when they occur. We all know, however, that rich.;' form of birth, control is,. cormue pletely effective; , thesem people, abortion should, ,1` available if they wish to use it, but not as an alternative to birth control. I would like to see a more positive approach by the Right to Life movement. Rather than waste money on biased pam- phlets and books, and scare tac- tics, spend your money on some of your good ideas, such as the one I have mentioned; begin educating the public to accepting these emotional pregnant women. • I realize it is a large un- dertaking, but in the end, more profitable, and rewarding. Yours truly, Marilyn Hohner, Exeter Field Worker Dear Editor: In a letter addressed to you last week, the Rev. Barry Robinson expressed his horror over a picture in an advertisement used by the Right To Life committee. The picture, you may remember, showed aborted children in a garbage bag. Allow me to say, on behalf of the committee, that we are truly sorry that this picture so gravely offended the moral sensitivity of Rev, Robinson. We apologize to him and to others whose response was similar. Offending sensitive souls was certainly not our intention. Yet even as we make this apology, I cannot refrain from suggesting that those who are morally offended by the picture should be a hundred times more offended by what the picture portrayed. I am sure Rev. Robinson will agree that it is a case of misguided zeal to attack the picture and to do nothing about the facts which are pictured. Still further and now maybe Somewhat more defensively, I would want to question some of the harsh judgements Rev. Robinson makes against us. For one thing,- one should be most hesitant in questioning the moral integrity of others. 410.,41,N "evioit" is crucial in' making such a judgement) the tragic situation' of aborted children by using this picture? I am not wholly Convinced we did. And were we simply appealing to "blind human sentimentality" as Rev. Robinson claims? Though I am not quite sure what that might mean, I am convinced that sometimes the horror of man's inhumanity against man needs to be clearly presented. It is too easy to ignore the plight of others by speaking ingeneral and abstract terms.' Let me illustrate this with another example. To'awaken our sense of fesponsibility, I think we sometimes need to be shown small children rummaging through garbage cans looking for food; you may have seen this on Times-Advocate, March. 7,. 1974 PCs hear substitute.
