OSLO, Norway (NC). The current situation in Ireland is "medieval," according to Mrs. Betty Williams, who with Miss Mairead Corrigan, hos been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. The two women were founders of the movement to bring peace to their native Northern Ireland after Mrs. Williams had seen three children, of whom Miss Corrigan was an aunt, killed by a runaway car in Belfast after soldiers had shot its guerilla driver. "We've had 800 years of thinking the wrong way, of fearing people because of their religion." Mrs. Williams said.
"Today they're putting men on the moon and landing instruments on Mars and we're still killing each other." The peace movement initiatives have brought 100,000 people to the streets of Northern Ireland to display their
desire for peace and have rallied thousands more for the same purpose in cities of England and Scotland.
