The annual Webster' picnic was held at Harbour Park, Goderich, on Sunday, June • 15th when about ninety relatives gathered to renew friendships. The southern branch of the family were in charge of the picnic. Sports events were cancelled on account of a severe rain storm accompanied by gale winds, which would have postponed the gather- ing entirely only for the wind shelter which had been arranged by the use of truck tarps, however all Children. were treated to sweets by the sports committee. A delicious supper was served smorgasbord style, after which the president, Harvey Keys, bead the names of members of the family who had passed away during the year. A minute's silence -Was observed in memory of twelve, Mr. Percy Graham, Mrs. Harvey Turn- er, Miss Donelda Hamilton, Mrs. Harvey Alton, Mr. Keith Webster, Mrs. Jack Gardner, Mrs. Harold Webster, Mrs. Harold Ferguson, Mr. Ed Holland, Mr. John Camer- on, Mr. Bill Babcock, Mr. Bruce Holland.

Gordon Kirkland. • The retiring president thanked all who had helped in any way. The third Sunday in June was again set aside for the picnic in Harbour Park, Goclerich, with an alternative announced in case of bad weather, when the picnic was advertised next June, also games-and sports to start at 3 o'clock.- We were treated to a variety of Scottish tunes by piper Bill .Joy of Forest, which goes to prove, there is a bit of Scotch in the- Irish • Websters. As we parted after planning for our next picnic in 1976, we were certain that 1975 would be one to remember for some time as all original planning can go with the wind as we eXperienced. The southern group were gallant hosts under difficult circumstances. Ladies of the first Reformed Church in Harriston were hosts .for the *Education ,committee of the• Wingham and area Pro-Life Group, Voice of the Unborn. Members of the Education Committee were Dtor and Mrs. R. D. Wilkins; George Brophy, student-at-lair; Mr,. A. Keet; and Mrs. Sally Campeau. • "Abortion, How It Is", a, slide and tape presentation by interna- tionally • known "experts in human sexuality, Dr. and Mrs. J. C. Wilke, was shown. This is a. thirty minute presentation which shoWs documented facts on abortion. In the discussion which followed, there arose the subject of Dr. Henry Morgentaler, now serving a jail sentence for performing an illegal abortion. The education committee pointed out that there is a great attempt' to make a martyr out of Dr. Morgentaler and that the media have not been presenting all the facts about him. For example, it was established at the Quebec Court of Appeal last • year that he talked for less than five minutes with his patient during which he discussed only the 'financial ak rangeinents and whether she had been pregnant before' or had had a previous abortion: He did not take her temperature or pulse. In short, he did not know whether the woman was pregnant. The education committee further point- ed out that the Criminal Code states that' a legal abortion can be performed if a pregnancy would' or would be likely to endanger the' life or health of the mother. The Criminal Code empowers the Minister of Health to establish, in accredited hospitals, therapeutic abortion committees, comprised 'of three or more doctors to rule on such abortions. Dr. Morgentalef admits that he has done over 5,000 . abortions in his Montreal clinic. It was further pointed out that in some of Canadian hospitals we have abortion on demand. The wor4 "health" is being wildly inteflireted in some hospitals to -include economic and social rea- sons, and convenience. This is not in keeping with the intent of the law. Before , 1969 the Criminal Code stated that a legal abortion could be performed if it were necessary to preserve, the life of the mother. In 1969 the Criminal Code was amended to read • as is stated' above. Since that time the abortion rate in Canada has risen steadily from, 500 in 1969 to the most current figure of 43,201 Discussion also concerned the ,organization Birthright, a non- sectarian pregnancy counselling service, which gives aid to preg- nant women, married or single, Who are distresSed. Birthright offers counselling, legal aid, medical aid, financial assist- ance, maternity and baby clothes, employment, housing in any city in Canada, etc....The closest offices are found in Owen Sound, Kitchen- er, London and Goderich. The purpose of Pro-Life Groups was stressed. Pro-Life Groups are concerned about preserving the dignity of human life. They are concerned about such life issues as: abortion, euthanasia (mercy child "abuse, infanticide, and human experimentation. They are concerned for mothers suffering physical and mental damage, who, needing help and guidelines, were offered the death of their child and a lifetime of regret. Therefore, their purpose is to educate- the public about these tragedies. Nancy de Boer has accepted a positiOn at the Children'sd .1Hospital at Palmerston for the summer in conjunction with the course she is taking at Centralia College. She started 'work there on/ Monday. Mrs. Nell of Stayner is spending some time with her daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Bob Bregman/and family. Mr. and Mrs. Wynn Of Kitchener spent the week end at their farm home on concession 8, ICinloss Township. The Bible Study group of Langside and Whitechurch held a. beach party and barbecue Saturday evening at Lurgan. Twenty-three attended and as the weather was nearly perfect, they had an enjoyable time. Next Sunday is anniversary Sunday at Langside church. Rev. R. D. A. Currie, a former minister at Whitechurch and Langside, will be guest speaker. We ake hoping to have a good attendance for these services. The end of this week will see the end of the school year for all pupils. To all, who passed, into a higher grade, congratulations and we wish you all an 'enjoyable summer holiday. Fun Day Held At Silver Lake The _Bruce South District of the Women's Institute held a Fun Day at Silver Lake United Church Camp at Kinloss on Wednesday, June 11. The event was to celebrate the Women's International year 1975. 'A good representation from the branches sat down to a delicious smorgasbord dinner at noon. Following the meal and social hour, Mrs: David Ireland, of Teeswater, the District President, was chair- lady for a variety program which began with a sing song, folloWed by solos; skits, readings and contests. Mrs. Ireland, in her remarks, told a funny story and members now know there is Irish. in Ireland. Following the program the group went out on the beautiful' grounds for games and relay races' which ranged from "Kick the Slipper" to "Milking the Cow" ending with a' Tug of War. This is usually a game for the •Strong men, but the women showed their power of •strength 'on the rope. All in all, it made a most enjoyable Fun Day and it is hoped the District can come up with similar get-togethers of the bran- ches in the years to come. , The committee deserving • credit for ,the well planned gathering was from Holyrood, Teeswater and Kairshea branches of the district.
