FORDWICH
Mrs. Les Watkins and little
daughter of Bolton spent a few
days last week with Mrs. Eva
Harris.
Abortion and changing moi
have effect on baby suppit
KURTZVI LLE -- The pill and
other methods of birth control
have little, if any, effect on the
number of teenage pregnancies,
says Helen Allen.
As the editor of the newspaper
column, Today's Child, which
runs in both weekly and daily
papers, Miss Allen has worked
with adoption agencies for many
years. She was in the area last
week to address United Church
Women members at the North
Huron Regional Rally of the
Huron -Perth Presbyterial held in
Kurtzville United Church Oct. 22.
"You see teenagers have never
used any method of birth control,
they just think it (pregnancy)
can't happen to them and that
attitude hasn't changed over the
years," Miss Alien said.
While contraceptives have had
little effect on the numbers of
illegitimate children being born,
other changes in social practices
apparently have.
"Abortion has had quite an
impact," Miss Allen said. "That
along with the tendency of un-
married mothers to keep their
babies now has resulted ina de-
crease in the number off babies
available for adoption."
Of the babies who are avail-
able, Miss Allen says the most
difficult to get accepted by fami-
lies are boys, especially those
beyond the preschool age.
"I don't know why but this has
always been the case. The girls
always get adopted first."
Miss Allen also confirmed the
fact that more children of Indian
descent are now appearing in her
column. "And I'm very pleased
to say that they are being
adopted."
As for adoption enquiries, the
column attracts letters "from.all
over North America and from
Europe."
"We have had as many as 200
letters asking for a single child,"
Miss Allen said.
However, she maintains that if
people are interested in adopting
a child they see in her column, if
they enquire immediately, "they
have a good chance of success."
"This is especially true if it is a
boy they want," she added.
Asked if there was a problem in
Canada with 4 `black market'
sale of babies, Miss Allen said if
there was then she wasn't aware
of it.
"There was quite a bit of
publicity about this kind of busir

TODAY'S CHILD GUEST—Miss Helen Allen of Toronto

and daily newspapers and for her Family Finder television
program, was the guest speaker at the North Huron
Regional Rally for the Huron -Perth presbyterial UCW held

year, but I haven't heard about it
happening in Canada."
The North Huron Region Com-
prises 11 United Church Women's
groups, namely: Belgrave, Blue -
vale, Brussels, Calvin -Brick,
Fordwich, Gorrie, Kurtzville, St.
Helens, Whitechurch, Wingham
and Wroxeter.
Mrs. William Coultes of RR 5,•
Brussels, president of the region,
acted as chairman for the rally.
Theme of the meeting was . "All
you need is love."
In 1964, said Miss Allen, there
were 65 Children's Aid Societies,
and when the Toronto Evening
Telegram instituted the column
"To -day's Child", there was con-
siderable opposition from the
Society. However,• three so.

A floor -length gown of white
polyester crepe was chosen by

Gorrie as she became the bride of
George Wayne Connor of Clifford
in a ceremony performed by. Rev.
Wesley Ball in the Gorrie United
Church on Saturday, October 11,
at seven o'clock.
The gown was designed on

dress. She wore a long flowing
veil held in place by a flowered
headpiece trimmed with guipure
lace. Her bouquet was orange
and white Sweetheart roses.
Mrs. Robert Kerr, aunt of the
bride, of London, was organist.
She played the Bridal Chorus as
the bride entered and during the
ceremony, she played The Wed-
ding Prayer and "Walking
Beside You". Lighted orange
tapers in candelabra, surrounded
by orange tinted mums and
carnations, formed the setting.
The bride is the daughter of
Mrs. Robert Ferguson of Gorrie
and was given in marriage by her
mother and step -father. Parents
of the groom are Mr. and Mrs.
George Connor of Clifford.
Miss Sharon Burchill of Wing -
ham was her sister's maid of
honor. Her floor -length empire -
styled gown featured a skirt of
orange, gold and brown figured
polyester satin.' The bodice,
styled with long slim sleeves and
round neckline, was of brown
crimplene. She parried a bouquet

bride, of Gorrie, Larry Pellett
and Eric McKenzie of Teeswater.

mother chose a floor -length gown
of peach crimplene with a match-
ing jacket. Her corsage was also

For a honeymoon to Northern
Ontario, the bride changed to a
navy skirt with figured blouse
and white blazer. Her corsage
was orange and white roses.
Mr. and Mrs. Connor will
reside in Gorrie.
Kenora, who desperately needed
to find families, decided to co-
operate in a campaign where one
child a day was featured for three
weeks. Twenty-three children's
pictures had appeared and at the
end of the three weeks, 18 had
been adopted. The response to.
this presentation was warm, lov-
ing and accepting. The paper de-
cided to continue the feature for
six weeks—which stretched into
11 years.
By special invitation, Dr. Paul
Rutherford of Listowel, ad-
dressed the meeting on an issue
which is causing grave concern to
parents in Perth County. This
matter was pin -pointed in a letter
recently published in the Listowel
Banner, and dealt specifically
with a new approach to the teach-
ing of sex education which is to be
introduced in grades kinder-
garten
to grade six level.
Dr. Rutherford strongly
recommended that concerned
parents attend an open meeting
which is to be held in Perth
County on Nov. 4th, and to state
their views on the matter. He also
advised the parents in Huron
County to be alert when the same
situation is faced in their school.
In bringing greetings from
Huron -Perth Presbyterial, Mrs.
Roy Galway of Listowel, presi-
dent, announced several items of
interest. An executive meeting, •
which all auxiliary presidents
and program conveners are
urged to attend, •will be held in
Mitchell United Church on Wed-
nesday, Nov. 5th, at 1:30 p.m. The
annual meeting for the Huron -
Perth Presbyterial will be held

not yet been selected. The London
Conference is preparing a new
mini -handbook of guidelines, out-
lining duties of UCW officers at
all levels. Mrs. Galway asked the
women to state their preference
regarding an evening meeting, or
a day -long regional 'rally.A show
of hands clearly indicated a
preference for an evening meet -

Members of the: Wingham UCW
recalled memories of "Fun
Night" at Alma College, when
they presented a musical skit.
Dressed in costutnes of the early
CGIT and of the 1925 flapper era,
and in more conservative choir
gowns, they represented the
three uniting churches, in a
catchy parody "S'posin' we
should all unite".
The worship was under the
leadership of Mrs. Ross Ander-
son, and Mrs. Ken Wheeler of the
Belgrave UCW. The five Coultes
Sisters from Belgrave, delighted
the gathering with their vocal
