The large increase in the township's share is due mainly to the new works garage and municipal office to be built this year for, which the township must raise $135,000. Reeve Bill Elston told council members they probably would "catch it" on the street for the tax increase, but it can't be helped if the township is going to pay for the new shed in one year, he said. Without the shed construction, the reeve noted, township spending probably would not have gone up at all over last year. What this means in dollars and cents is that a public school supporter in the township with a farm and residential pro- perty assessed at $6,000 would pay $1,278 in property taxes in 1985. That is $182 more than 1984 or 11 per cent. A separate school supporter with property assessed at the same value would pay $1,231 in property taxes this year, an increase of $123 from 1984 or 11 per cent. The biggest single increase comes in the amount to be collected for township pur- poses, which is up by 25 per cent to $189,661, an increase of $39,234: - Morris Township will pay 7.2 per cent more to the. Countyof 'Huron in 1985. This year's requisition is $125,941, an increase of $6,679 over 1984. The township's separate school levy is $16,166 an increase of $1,532 from 1984 or 6,5 per cent. The levy to the elementary,school system has increased by 5.7 per -cent to $181,226 or $10,733. Morris Township also will pay $159,991 towards secondary school ill 1985, up $9,681 from last year or 5.6 per cent. Addresses pro®tife.issue WINGHAM-The eleventh annual meeting of Wingham Voice for Life was held at. St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Wingham on April 24. Dinner was served by the ladies of the Presbyterian congregation and entertainment was provided by the Sacred Heart Folk Choir of Teeswater. The meeting was chaired by Mrs. George Brophy. About Ash 150 people were in attendance. Mrs. Sally ..Campeau, the Education 111. Chairperson, introduced the guest speaker, Jim Hughes, President of Campaign Life Canada. Mrs. Campeau explained that our Voice for ' Life Chapter belongs to the educational arm of the Canadian pro-life movement, Alliance for Life, whereas Mr. Hughes is the president of the political arm of the movement. Other affiliated groups, such as Birthright, have practical and • charitable aims. Mr. Hughes, as nresident of Campaign 1,ife, works at least 60 hours a week without pay. In his speech he mentioned that Campaign Life has over 100,000 members across the country. Working with Campaign Life is no easy task, as it means dealing with politicians, whose pronouncements are often equivocal. In addition the media's coverage of pro-life issues is not always objective. Why does the media often refuse to present pictures of the fetus in its mother's womb, when it never flinches from the most graphic depictions of violence and pornography? Mr. Hughes explained his own enthusiasm and active involvement in the pro-life cause by recalling that he had " waited patiently for someone to do something and realized that I was (that) someone." He also deplored the fact that the media in reporting pro-life issues often obscures or entirely misses the essential point, namely that from conception onward a distinct human life has been formed.
