The three departments in order • of their assistance are: - 1. Discharge from the institution; 2. Social services or welfare; 3. Disability pension. The problem with the County of Huron arises in the social services pr. welfare rt depament. According 'to the' recent news story Huron County is taking on a financial burden and budgeting $30,000 In fact, Mrs. Haskett says the people from Heather Gardens.h who apply will receive welfare ($138.00 per month) for approxi- mately eight weeks until they receive their disability pension. Huron County pays 20 per cent and the province 80 per cent of this before payment. For one person over an eight week period it would cost the county $55.20. As of February '17 Heather Gardens has 42 residents with 23 on welfare; only until their- disability, pensions arrive, the director said. .Capacity for the home is 100 persons. 4 --Recently the home was inspected for fire dangers. Ono. suggestion concerning the length of the fire-hoses in the bill, ets proved after investigation that the hoses were more than adequate for the building.' Mrs. Haskett feels that Per-'" haps ,more understanding and assistance to help these people in the community would be a-better gesture On the' part of Huron County Council.

Our contri tion from Vanastra will be a setie f informal intervi ews ' la scan- attitudes of girls and women here. The first article in this series is a discussion with''girls ages•four .to eight years. Since the word international was only familiar to the eight year - old, I, asked instead, "W,Ii,y,clo we have a special year for women?" •The four year olds didn't know, btir the eight year olds said, "So women can, get out and do stuff and men can't say no you'd better stay home," - The two six year olds stated women and men can do the same things, there is no difference. However, Karen-Ann and Christi (both 6 years) said at , school "boys ge.t their stuff wrpng, and girls get their work tight." Also girls play "girls stuff" and., examples were hop-scotch and skipping. For the question , "What do you want to be when you grow up?" .Susan, four years, would•like to be a nurse. Christa,' six years, decided a dentist and Karen-Ann also six a nurse but if she couldn't „ then:she'd be,`I, a doctor. Renee age eight would like to be "the world's greatest sports girl" and Renee age eight would like to be "the world's greatest sports girl" and a doctor.
