Three councils of the Catholic Women's League, held a joint meeting Monday, June 6th in St. Joseph's Hall, Kingsbridge. Forty- five ladies from St. Mary's Lucknow, St. Augustine and St. Joseph's Kingsbridge gathered to hear a report of the annual diocesan convention and also guest speaker, Adrian Keet of Wifigham. Fr. Dentinger opened the meet- ing with a scripture reading and prayer. Co-chairing this meeting were Mrs. Mary Boyle, St. Augustine, Mrs. Gertrude Leddy, Lucknow and Mrs. Marion Austin, Kingsbridge. Mrs. Pete MacDonald, Lucknow gave an interesting report of the diocesan convention 'held in Chat- ham May 10th and 11th. The theme of the convention was "The Great Voice of God Cries Out For the Fullness of Life". Following the convention report, Mrs. Marion Austin introduced the guest speaker Adrian Keet. Adrian gave a most interesting report of his walk from Wingham .to Ottawa for the Festival of Life, a distance of 325 miles. That, which Adrian had taken on as more or less a sacrifice on his part, turned out to be anything but that. Which is not to say he suffered no discomfort since there were cold and rainy days to contend with and at times very painful feet. However the walk was one of the greatest experiences of his life and most enriching. The single unpleasant episode he encountered was bottles being thrown at him from a passing car. Except this one incident, all the- people he met on his journey were most eager to help him in any way. Always he was offered free lcdging and meals. Certainly Adrian felt very strongly that the majority of people are pro-life and are deeply concerned about abor- tion, euthanasia, mercy killing, etc. Adrian was thanked and present- ed with a cheque by Mrs. Mark Dalton. Mrs. Mary Boyle expres- sed thanks on behalf of St. Mary's, St. Augustine's councils. Fr. Dentinger spoke briefly. reinforcing the need of positive attitude in the Right to Life struggle.
