Minister ordered to pay restitution By tMck Peterson PlalndMtar Herald N«nr« Sanrtcc V the Animals perish in barn fire PUMMtar-HcraldNwratoviM Five animals perished in a barn fire in rural Woodstock early Sunday, according to the Woodstock Rural Fire Protection District. Chief Richard Menzel said four horses and a goat were killed in the barn fee at the residence of Arthur Kleeman, 1950 Queen Anne Rd. One horse was saved, the chief said. Firefighters responded to the blaze shortly before 3 a.m. Sunday and "the roof was fully involved" by the time they arrived at the scene northeast of Woodstock, Menzel said. Firefighters remained on the scene about 90 minutes and the barn was a total loss, he said. No firefighters were reported in­ jured in the blaze. The cause of the fire has not yet been determined.

Arthritis group to meet Public is 'biased' against (Continued from page 1) of these mothers were born out of wedlock themselves, suffering no particular stigma. According to federal statistics, 98 percent of teenage unwed mowers wind up supporting themselves and their babies on welfare and in poverty. According to the statistics, middle-class teenagers see things differently. Accidental conception and unexpected motherhood are perceived as an obstacle to the achievement of more important goals in life such as education, career, marriage, social acceptability, and achievement. According to Leavitt, there is an old saying that "a baby makes a good thing better and a bad thing worse." The same baby which may threaten its mother's future is a blessing to a childless couple. "Everyone wins, he says. "The couple has a child; the child two parents and a secure future; and the mother is free, with a second chance to achieve her goals in life. Because the interrelationships are valid, rational, ap­ preciated, and permanent, they do not often come 'un­ stuck'." Gitlin says that the adoptive couple in an independent way they can make their own choice, he says. A meeting will allow the couple to know that a child born to so lovely a woman cannot fail to inherit the intelligence, health, beauty and other qualities which a child born to themselves personally might be expected to have. And, when the child becomes a teenager, concerned about his own marriage and the inheritance of his own offspring, they can answer his questions: fundamental ones like "Was she pretty?" "Why aid she give me away?", "What kind of person was my father?", and "Am I English-Irish-German or French-Italian-Swedish?" Having known his mother, the adoptive parents can answer from firsthand knowledge, with respect and love, and if as a grownup he wishes to see her again, it will not particulary upset them-after all she has Known exactly with whom he has been for all these years and has stayed away. As a matter of fact, according to Leavitt, the couple may well like the birth mother to to see what a fine person the baby grew into, what a good "marriage" they had made. In Leavitt's 20 years of adoption specialization, no natural mother has ever "knocked on the door" and interfered with the child in his adoptive home. The independently adopted child doesn't have to conduct a pofcnant search for Ifobipth mother. WW the next of this series.
