New Huronia Singers .Just two years ago a small group of people came together for the -first rehearsal -of a new community -choir. The choir became known as The New Huronia Singers, named for a long heritage of Huronia Choirs in South Huron. The choir has grown to include more than seventy members at present. Each year the -choir has presented two full length concerts, one at Christmas, the other in May for the entertainment of area people. Many concerts have featured Local soloists, small groups, and a de- lightful children's chorus .know as -"Our Kids". In addition, the choir has performed at several churches and community events. The choir is directed by Susan Graham, musically accompanied by Julie Eastcrbrook and managed by Linda Hawley. The future provides many new challenges for The New Huronia Singers. In April, they will partici- pate in the London Music Festival and again put on a Spring Concert on May 14 and 15 at the Exeter United Church. This concert will feature a small group of choir mem- bers performing selections from the popular musical "Cats".

Changes at libraries February was a busy month for libraries in Stephen Township. Renovations at the Crediton Branch of the Huron County Library, locat- ed in the Crediton Community Hall, were undertaken by, the Town- ship of Stephen. New paint, light- ing and carpet has resulted in a brighter and cosier library. To help with the renovations, the library was closed temporarily and the Huron County Library removed the book stock, replacing out-of- date and worn-out books with ap- proximately 1800 newer ones when the library was ready. The Crediton Branch Library is once again open for business; li- brary hours are: Tuesdays 7-8 p.m. and Saturdays 1:30-4:30 p.m. The Huron Park Branch of the Huron County Library has been re- located from J.A. McCurdy Public School to larger quarters in the Ccn- traria Community flail, where a comfortable room has been con- structed on the ground floor. The Township of Stephen again provided the new quarters, volun- teers moved books and equipment, and the Huron County Library added furniture, more shelving and ap- proximately 2000 books. The new Centralia Branch Library is open Tuesdays from 3:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. to continue to serve the resi- dents of the Centralia and. Huron Park area. All residents of Huron County may join their public library free of charge. Books arc changed quarterly at the smaller branches such as Cen- tralia and Crediton, and all branches have access to the 190,000 books in the Huron County Library through interlibrary loan. Paperbacks, pic- ture books for young children, nov- els, large print books, and more are available at every branch. ie FREE CANDY COURSE FREEo: on making your own fps EASTER CANDY March 21 or 22 at 7:30 p.m. Call to reserve your seat FERGUSON APIARIES Hwy. 84 between Hensall and Zurich 236-4979 • ,l. Right to Life Group share abortion concerns February 9 the Stratford and Dis- trict Right to Life Group met at St. Joseph's Parish Hall. Many new people attended this meeting to share their concerns and ideas regarding the recent Supreme Court decision to legalize all abor- tions in Canada. President Dr. C. O'Connor said that all of us must renew our efforts towards educating people with the knowledge that hu- man hfe_bcings at conception; She said that science has made much progress in the last 15 years and now tells us that by 4 weeks the heart is beating. By eight weeks all bodily systems are present, brain waves can be recorded, the baby can respond to painful stimuli and make a fist. By 12 wecks the unborn has the inherited facial features and can suck it's thumb. Kathy McGraw shared -a letter she had written regarding her feelings on abortion and the killing of babies while living in the mother's womb. Gord Maloney said that many people have voiced their support for the "Right to Life for the Unborn" as a result of his letter in the "Beacon Herald". Betty Dubrick and Brenda Neufeld felt that because many other people in the community were also con- cerned about the Supreme Court De- cision that we should try a letter campaign which would show our concerns to our politicians. Jean Turnbull also voiced her op- position to the fact that funding for these unnecessary abortions will be done through OIIIP and therefore - our taxes, and yet we cannot receive funding for a Cat Scan at our own hospital which in turn would help to save lives. Discussion was aho held regard- ing our thoughts on a proposed ser- ies of talks to be made available to all interested parties on the *subject of abortion and the after affects that this has on the mother.
