The Goderich Signal-Star, 1983-11-02, Page 47Goderich Pro Life Oroup marks tenth anniversary The G;oderleh Pro Life group celebrated their tent anniversary last Wednesday with a banquet which included special guest speaker Dr. Hart Butter, B.Sc., Ph.D., chairman of the physics department and head of the computer department at Wilfrid Laurier university in Waterloo. Dr. Benner wast one of the founders of Pro Life 12 years ago. "My wife and I read an article in the K -W Record that said a nurse from Henderson Hospital in Hamilton had been demoted because she refused to help with an abor- tion," explained Benner. "My wife (who was a nurse) said that she would have to take a demotion if she was asked to do that." Since that time, both Dr. Bezner and his wife have been very dedicated to the Pro Life group. This is not the first time Dr. Bezner has spoken to the Goderich group. In October 1973 he gave a speech at GDCI and another time six years ago. In his speech on Wednesday, Dr. Bezner said, "In looking back over the past ten years, I now realize that I frequently wondered about the nature of that which really separates us from those on the other side - and I am beginning to understand just how deep and fundamental the gap between us really is." He went on to explain that people who join Pro Life have a very particular concept of Being and living and a very particular view of the world. Some of the memorable events held in the Goderich Pro Life's ten years are; a 25 mile walk-a-thon which resulted in the formation STATE FARM FOEIN4Iii1W4ti46: CML INSURANCE tt BILL liARWICK AGENT 30 Blilii0STOi'i ss. 0 hl I.Oi4104100 324.7541 Like a good neighbor.
