ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Hospital faces annual abortion

From Page 1

Director Fay Stannuf said,
“People should join the
hospital board to protect
Lions Gate Hospital's tiniest
patient. We have a good
haspital and every life
should be cared about and
cared for. Speaking of
human rights, the right to
life is the most basic. If you
don’t have that right: you
don’t have any other
rights.”

But Clark said a recent
Canada-wide gallup poll
showed that 74 per cent of
the population are in favor
of freedom of choice, and 93
per cent are in favor of sex
education in the schools to
educate students and prevent
unnecessary abortions,

“tin fighting for
women,"’ Clark said. ‘There
arent enough of us fighting
for women. | do get emo-
tionally involved because |
really care.”

Waterman says was tremen-
dous cultural shock in the
conditions of their east coast
training camp near
Newcastle-on-Tyne: ‘‘We liv-
ed in tiny Nissen huts with no
showers, now baths, and no
running water.We washed in
icy water brought in barrels.’

Though the four ex-
WAAFs went their separate
ways after the war, Waight
remaining in England,
Waterman and Haveruk
heading to Canada, Galliano
to San Francisco, the bonds
of friendship survived both
distance and adversity.

“At one point, we lost all
contact with Mrs. Galliano
for 25 years, but a friend of
hers, travelling up from San
Francisco, looked up Mrs.
Haveruk’s number and she,
in turn, gave her my

number.**

Subsequent to the
rediscovery of the missing
Mrs. Galliano, the three had
a joyous reunion in West
Vancouver two years ago,
their first in 36 years.

The past weekend's reu-
nion, says Waterman, was
fabulous.

The friendships, she says,
were as strong as ever; their
reminiscence mixed with the
sadness and gallows humor
of life during wartime."

“It was an enormous
responsibility for young peo-
ple, a time of great trauma.
We were drawn together

‘through a common threat

and united through a com-
mon need."*

The strength of the four
friendships reflects the depth
of the crisis they all faced and
the depth of character each
exhibited in that crisis.

said. “Lions Gate hospital
partakes in) approximately
12,000) technical surgical
procedures a year, and only
a tiny proportion of those
are abortions, which are a
simple and safe operation.

“I'm trying to gain the
community's awareness,"
Clark said, ‘hecause there is
aoosmall group trying to
remove the freedom of
choice. And if we lose dem-
veratic freedom of choice,
then where are we?"*

While the Catholic church
fights against abortions,
Clark said the United
Church recently announced
