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
