The Wingham Advance-Times, 1983-06-15, Page 6Page 6—The Wingham Advance -Times, June 15, 1983 L c I Voice fir Life holds monthly meetin The monthly meeting of the Wingham Voice for Life group was held last Tuesday. Attending the meeting were John van den Assem (president), Hinka Bake- laar, Richard and Sally Campeau, Eleanor Kuyven- hoven, Mattie Duyker and Mike Herrington. Mr. van den Assem opened the meeting with , a prayer and the adoption of the minutes of the previous meeting was moved by Wanda Damsma. Mr. van den Assem said he deplored the growing number of euthanasia cases in this country and mentioned that he had written a letter on the subject to The London Free Press. Mrs. Campeau is ef- ficiently expanding the group's educational program and is planning to assist a local teacher in reviewing seven McGoey films. These films are designed to offer the youngster the facts about abortion as well as an ex- planation of the moral issues involved. Mrs. Campeau will speak in some schools in our area. Mrs. Damsma and Mrs. Campeau attended the Walkerton Right to Life. dinner. The speaker was Father Slaaman who em- phasized the commitment of prolife supporters which extends to all issues of social justice. His slogan was "Justice, not Just Us". The local group discussed the possibility of diversification, but Mr. Campeau reminded members that the dissipation of energy also is a danger. Mr. and Mrs. van den Assem and Mrs. Campeau attended the Bruce -Grey Right to Life conference and saw the film "Assignment Life". They also enjoyed the play "Urgent" which was presented by the drama club of a local secondary school. Mrs. Campeau said she is interested in the use of television announcements to make the prolife campaign better known. It also is possible to procure a cassette recording of the Morgenthaler -Nathan debate. The Wingham Voice for Life will hold its annual garage sale July 1, beginning at noon and ending shortly after noon the next day. The group is indebted to the Sjaarda family for their tireless support of these sales. A bake sale also is planned and Mrs. Bakelaar is to look after the newspaper announcements for these activities. Mrs. Kuyvenhoven is busy reorganizing the system for keeping track of mem- bership and is preparing a newsletter. Mrs. Campeau suggested the Wingham group put together its own brochure, such as the Kin- cardine group has done. Mr. and Mrs. van den Assem are planning to at- tend the national prolife congress, scheduled, for Moncton, N. B., at the end of this month. Toward the end of last week's meeting, Mr. van den Assem reminded the members of the importance of Christian commitment. Happy Gang holds its final spring meeting The Wingham Happy Gang seniors held their monthly meeting at the Armouries last Friday, starting with a pot -luck luncheon. The business " meeting com- menced- aTa6OUt 1:45, with President Mrs. McGuire in the chair. With the regular opening exercises, she also read an interesting poem, "The Good Old Days", suggesting that if we really look back on them perhaps they weren't so good after all. Members were reminded again of the special day for seniors at the Vanastra Centre June 21, during Seniors' Week. A dance at Wroxeter and a Seniors' Day at the Woodbine race track also were announced; anyone interested in the races -was -asked to contact Helen McBurney right away. A letter from the Day Centre for the Homebound invited the seniors to the annual meeting June 23. There was also a note of thanks from the USCO, with the Happy Gang's Star membership acknowledge- ment. There was a time of remembrance for those m Presbyterial pres. addresses WMS The Women's Missionary Society of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Wingham held its monthly meeting last Wednesday in the Upper Room. Mrs. G. Wall opened with the call to worship with a quotation from the Mission Update: "Each one can be a missionary." Mrs. J. Conn read the scripture and gave the meditation, while Mrs. T. Currie led in prayer. The offering was received by Mrs. L. Shickluna and dedicated by Mrs. G. Francis. The Presbyterial president, Mrs. Agnes Bugman attended the meeting and brought greetings from Presbyterial. Mrs. William Ford gave an instrumental selection and the mission study was given by Mrs. Wall. She told of Melanisia, a unique region in the Pacific. Mrs. Wall had charge of the business part of the meeting too. The secretary, Mrs. R. McKay, gave the minutes of the last meeting, the roll call and read the correspondence. Mrs. Conn presided at the piano for the singing of the hymn and Mrs. Wall closed with a prayer. Mrs. W. Woods and Mrs. D. A. Rit- chie served lunch. hospital and those who have departed. George Taylor gave a report on the very successful zone rally May 26 at Clifford. Following a short sing -song, g g, past president Verna Francis and her group had a program ready and mem- bers were entertained with a duet by their good young friends, Mrs. Gaunt and Mrs. English, again. Mrs. George Howson gave a very thought-provoking discourse on the question of aging. It pointed out that whileg,physical needs are very important, it is perhaps more important to have good friends. The main speaker was Jack Ferguson from Listowel. He is the zone president and the main thrust of his address was the lack of support in the organization from younger seniors. He remarked on the face that once they reach 65, so many still do not regard themselves as seniors — but are not slow about getting their old age security cheques, which seems a bit of a paradox. Verena Bone gave one of her entertaining readings. The president then reminded members this was their last meeting until September 9, when the fall meetings will begin with another pot -luck luncheon.

Local delegate offers her view of PC leadership convention • "A new broom sweeps clean" is why Progressive Conservative leadership con- vention delegate Margaret Bennett of Wingham said she voted for Brian Mulroney for Tory leader in the final, crucial ballot at last Satur- day's convention. Mrs. Bennett, president of the Huron -Bruce Progress- ive Conservative Associa- tion, said she went to the convention uncommitted, but soon turned to John Crosbie as her choice for the next leader of the party. However, after Mr. Crosbie was eliminated on the third ballot, Mr. Mulroney be- came her choice. By selecting Mr. Mulroney, the party has chosen its first leader from French Canada in this century and also a man with no parliamentary ex- perience. But that did not deter Mrs. Bennett and the almost 1,600 others who supported him on the final ballot against Joe Clark, former leader. Mrs. Bennett said she thinks Mr. Mulroney will do a good job as leader and he has the intelligence and "guts" to win the next federal election for the party. It clearly was time for a change, she said, which meant Mr. Clark had to go. Mrs. Bennett said she went to last January's leadership review supporting Mr. Clark, but thought he should have resigned`as:leader if he did not °.think two-thirds party support was enough. She also said she thought he should . have withdrawn from the race last Saturday when it became evident he did not have the momentum needed to win more votes. She even made the long, hot trek across the con- vention hall floor from the Crosbie camp to Mr. Clark's to implore the former leader to join forces with Mr. Crosbie. But all Clark did was shake his head and say "I can't do it." Over 90 degree tem- peratures, noise and con- fusion, made the spirit of the day "desperate", said Mrs. Bennett. Add to that the lineups, 30 in all, to allow the ,almost 3,000 voting delegates to cast their- -ballots- while another 7,000 spectators and members of the press looked on. But it was not all work and no play. After arriving in Mr. & Mrs. Robert Pellett now residing in Wroxeter Mr. and Mrs. Robert Pellett are residing n Wroxeter following their marriage on Saturday, May 28, at five o'clock in Wroxeter United Church. Mrs. Pellett, the former Kerri-Lee Noble, is the daughter of Mrs. Hazel McGuire of Kitchener and Harry Noble of Mount Forest. Her groom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Ken Pellett, Wroxeter. Rev. Lloyd B. Martin officiated at the ceremony and Mr's. Betty Wright was organist. She supplied ap- propriate wedding music throughout the ceremony and also accompanied the soloist, Gordon Kaster. The bride was given in marriage by her brother, Bob Noble, and her mother, Mrs. McGuire. She wore an elegant gown of polyester satin with chapel train, high neckline and lace -trimmed bodice. The long sleeves featured wrist ruffles and the waistline had a double peplum of lace. She wore, a matching satin and lace wide -brimmed hat and carried a bouquet of peach roses and white orchids. Mrs. Penny McDonald of Mount Forest was matron of honor. She wore a gown of sweet pea green polyester sheer and carried a bouquet of white daisies and peach roses. In similar gowns 4nd carrying similar bouquets were the bridesmaids, Linda Noble of Mount Forest,=Rosie Pellett, Caledon East, and Carolynn Halerwich, Trowbridge. Kimberley Ziegler of Kitchener was flower girl, sweetly attired in a dress of white swiss dot with sweet pea green lace. She also carried white daisies and peach roses. Ron Gibson of Belmore was groomsman and guests were ushered by Jeff Noble of Kitchener, Doug Moore, Belmore, and Larry Pellett, Teeswater. Bradley Ziegler of Kitchener was ringbearer. Out-of-town guests from Alberta, Mississauga, Guelph, Elmira, Kitchener, Bridgeport, St. Jacobs, Teeswater, Palmerston, Belmore and Gorrie at- tended the reception which was held at the Harriston Legion Hall. Receiving the guests, the bride's mother wore a pastel blue chiffon , dress with a white orchid corsage. She was assisted by the groom's mother who chose a street -length dress of pink ribbon sheer with a pink orchid corsage. The couple's wedding trip took them to Montreal, Quebec. Honored guests at the wedding wet -e the bride's grandmother, Mrs. Mar- garet Ziegler of Harriston. and the groom's grandmoth- er, Mrs. Eva Metzger, Pal- merston. Ottawa last Wednesday and registering,the- candidates had a good deal of time to tour the capital and attend the receptions hosted by the various candidates. For example, Mrs. Bennett and her husband Roy attended a barbeque hosted by Mr. Crosbie at which 8,000 steaks were served to a hungry crowd. Also attending from this area was Mrs. Bennett's nephew Bernie Haines of RR 4, Wingham. Mr. Haines could not be reached for comment earlier this week, but his aunt said he worked very hard for Mr. Crosbie, as did many other youth delegates. There were six voting delegates from this riding - and six alternates. Several observers, like Mr. Bennett, also attended.
