Men stage.
peaceful vigil

TERRACE — On Wed-
nesday night, May 14, a
group of local residents,
consisting of approxi-
mately 60 men, held a
peaceful gathering.

by Elizabeth Evans

The father’s vigil
began at 7:00 p.m. on
the grounds of Mills
Memorial Hospital. It
was a Remembrance Day
ceremony — a symbolic
gesture to the unborn
children. The hospital
administration had been
notified, however, the
Pro-life Association
received no feedback, a
spokesman said.

Terrace was one of
many Canadian com-
munities participating in
events such as_ the
fathers’ vigil. According

‘to Mark Ruelle, spokes-

man for the Terrace Pro-
Life Association,
Kitimat was holding a
candlelight vigil on the
same evening. Ruelle’s
primary goal is to raise
consciousness of the
abortion situation.
Ruelle hopes that
men’s rights in the abor-
tion dilemma will ex-
pand, Abortion involves
many parties, he said;
the unborn child, the
mother and the father.
Social decisions must be
made and laws revised

Letter

To the Editor,

One scientist says:
“The purported rigidity
of Pro-life reproductive
ethics is based on natural
law. A fetus, once con-
ceived, has the right to
develop; this is an ex-
pression of natural
forces and is a duty allot-
ted to the mother by
nature. Taken to its
logical conclusion, this
leaves no room for
human responsibility.
Instead, the erratic and
impersonal forces of the
natural environment are
allowed sway. Certain
facets. of future life, as
much as the ecology,
have been given over to
human control because
man (male and female) is
no less than God’s
vicegerent,

This scientist says we
have as much right to
weed thé womb as we
have to weed the garden.
If we have the right to
cut down enough forests
to cover Jamaica each
year, we have the right to
kill the unborn. If man
has the right to bring 250
species of mammals, 250
species of birds, and
20,000 species of plants
to the brink of extinc-
tion, then afew un-

_ on this issue; laws which

concern all involved par-
ties. .
Last year, approxi-
mately 64 abortions were
performed in Terrace,
Ruelle said. That is one
abortion for every five
live births — in com-
parison with the.national
average — one for every
seven, Ruelle noted.
Each unborn child was
symbolized by a white
cross and flower on
Wednesday night. After
a quiet memorial service,
the crosses were placed

in the earth as the men ©

stood solemnly — with
bowed heads in remem-
brance of the 64 chil-
dren.

Approximately 60 men held a father's vigll outside the local

hospital last week.

Hospital celebrates 25th anniversary

TERRACE — A large

number of people turned
out at Skeena Mall to
help. celebrate Mills
Memorial Hospital’s
25th anniversary.

by Daniele Berquist

Norman Carelius, ex-
ecutive director for the
hospital, said that ‘“‘it
went super’. ‘‘There
was a lot of interest
shown by the public in
the written history of the
hospital which dated
back to 1912.’’ Carelius
said that brochures and
albums were also made
available going right
back to pictures of Dr.

Mills and Terrace’s first-

born twins,

Dr. Barry Deakin,
radiologist, and some
staff technicians took the

time to explain and show

x-rays. The nurses who
were present, said
Carelius, did blood
pressure reading for the
public.

Mayor Jack Talstra
and board chairman,
Linda Hamilton, cut and
distributed cake to the
public, Carelius said.

“Our ulterior motive
for the display at the
mall,’? he explained,
‘“was to make the public
more. aware of the
hospital, the competance
of our staff and services
we bring to the public.”

Carelius said that
Mills Memorial Hospital
is presently in need of
$547,000 for the pur-
chase of replacement and
new equipment. He ex-
plained that the hospital
is receiving funds from
the Ministry of Health,
the Regional Hospital
District and that a good

portion of donations”

came from the communi-
ty.
“We are hoping fora
Mills Memorial Equip-
ment fund to be set up
soon. This means,
Carelius said, that for a

donation of $200.00 or
more, the persons name
would be inscribed on a
plaque in the hospital's
lobby. For gifts of less

than .§200.00, the name

would then be entered in
a book that would be
displayed in the lobby.
‘We really hope we've
made the community
aware of our services and
our needs and that they
will support us,’’ said
Carelius.

Grain
Wood shrinks and
swells more across the

grain than along the
grain.

Leaves

Larches are our only
needle trees that are
“deciduous’’, a term
that describes trees that
regularly lose ali their
leaves, usually in the fall.

Teen fashion trends ==
by Elizabeth Evans
Terrace Fashion Columnist
TERRACE — Fashions for teens this season are new —
and exciting! We are now seeing a definite change
this year in teen apparel.

The oversized look seems to be setting the current
fashion vogue. This season's favorites are long,
loose-fitting shirts with tails teamed up with tight leg-
gings, stirrup pants, blue jeans or a tube shirt.

Denim has once again reached a high point in
fashion trends. Oversized denim jackets are a par--
ticular favorite in the younger fashion scene. Blue
jeans have expanded into a fashion group entirely
their own. We are now seeing denim in a variety of.
styles — pleated, straight-cut, 3/4 length, printed, —
faded and pinstriped as well as the standard blue
jean.

Denim skirts are also proving themselves as a cur-
rent fashion trend. They are available in either mini
or knee length styles as well as in faded, stonewashed

- or pinstriped.

Other favorites this season are bright t-shirts with
novelty prints paired up with oversized sweatshirts.
_ Every color is in —- and being worn together! So
not to worry. when your daughter (or son) wants a

‘pink polka-dot shirt and striped jeans!
