The Ontario Housing Cor- poration (014C) on behalf of the Ministry of Housing will conduct a survey to determine the need and demand for senior citizen housing in Village of Hensall and the Townships of Usborne and Hay. A research analyst will estimate the number of senior citizens living in the community whose housing is inadequate or who are spending more than they can afford on accommodation. The demand in the area for such Ontario Housing Cor- poration accommodation on a rent-geared-to-income basis will be determined from information gathered through advertising, direct mail questionnaires, in- terviews and applications on file with the local housing managers. The study, which will begin soon, was requested by the Municipal Council of the Village of Hensall. It will include an assessment of economic trends, growth factors and current and future housing needs in the municipality. Letters outlining OHC's senior citizen rental housing program will be mailed to senior citizens, asking them if they wish to participate. If an interested senior citizen does not receive a questionnaire by mail, he or she may obtain one from The Clerk's office, Village of Hensall, Hen- sail, Ontario, NOM 1XO.

"It was, quite a sale and should make interest even higher for the calf club members and the prospective buyers for next year's fair."
