"I expect this
Husqvarna 2000
to be around for
the graduating
class of 1999."
"Our Husqvarna sewing machines work
so smoothly and are built so well that
sometimes I think they'll last forever.
They're ideal for students—
so easy to use."

For over a century, the people at
Husqvarna have been designing and
perfecting sewing machines. Which
explains why the Husqvarna 2000 is such
a remarkable machine. Where else will
you find a 100% jam-proof hook? Or an
' actual gear shift that allows stitch-by-stitch
control without sacrificing motor power.
An extra long straight stitch (up to 6mm.)
and a machine that never needs oiling.
Besides the Husqvarna 2000 there's a
complete line of Husqvarna machines to
fit all budgets. Come in and discover what
sewing is all about.

Wintario grants are available
By JACK RIDDELL
MPP Huron-Middlesex
The GAINS Programme - a
type of Guaranteed Annual
Income System - was introduced
to benefit residents over 65 years
of age and those who are blind or
disabled, Benefits for senior
citizens are adminstered by the
Guaranted Income and Tax
Credit Branch of the Ministry of
Revenue, whilst the blind and
disabled are taken care of by the
Ministry of Community and
Social Services,
In order to qualify for
assistance under the GAINS
Programme, people must have
lived ten consecutive years in
Canads, with the last full year in
Ontario immediately prior to
applying for benefit' (prior to
April 6, 1976, only five con-
secutive years of residence in
Canada were necessary).
Alternatively, one must have
lived in Ontario for one full year
immediately prior to applying for
GAINS and have been resident in
Canada if or periods totalling
twenty years since reaching age
eighteen, or have lived in Ontario
for periods which add up to
twenty years since reaching age
eighteen.
Items considered income are
earnings from employment, net
income from a profession or
business, income from
superannuation, retirement
pensions, annuity payments and
other sources, including pensions
from any other countries, which
are taxable in Canada. Bank,
bond, mortgage and other in-
terest are included, as are net
dividends and net taxable capital
gains, unemployment insurance
benefits, net rents from property
and income from family
allowance. Old Age Security and
Guaranteed Income Supplement
payments are included, as well as
payments from the Canada
Pension Plan or Quebec Pension
Plan.
If the total income from all
sources is below the guaranteed
minimum, which is reviewed
every three months, a cheque is,
sent each month from the Ontario
Government to qualified
recipients to make 'up the dif-
ference. At the present time the
monthly minimum for senior
citizens is $279.35 (as of the 1st
January, 1977) for a single
person - $558.70 for a married
couple who both qualify. The
current minimum for the blind
and disabled is $250, although this
is due to be changed soon, I un-,
derstand,
People over 65 years of age who
receive OAS/GIS payments from
the Federal Government, need
not apply for the Ontario
GAINS Programme. Their
eligibility will be determined
automatically. Those who do not
meet the residency requirements
for the Old Age Security Pension,
but appear to satisfy GAINS
requirements, should request an
application form for GAINS
by writing, visiting or
telephoning the Ministry of
Revenue at Queen's Park in
Toronto (M7A 2B3). You may call
the Ministry free of charge. Dial
"0" and ask the operator for
ZENITH 8-2000.
If you are blind or disabled and
are now receiving assistance
under Ontario's Family Benefit
Programme, you will receive
your benefits cheque each month,
automatically, You do not have to
apply for it. If you do not receive
Family Benefits, you may qualify
for the special benefits
programme.
• Applications must be made
through the District Office of the
Ministry of Community and
Social Services. Dependents of
special benefits recipients will
receive additional assistance,
based on the size of the family
and the ages of the children.
The programme does not apply
to the totally unemployable, who
have been transferred to Family
Benefits from General Welfare
Assistance,
Those who qualify for the
special benefits programme,
Family Benefits or the federal
Guaranteed Income Supplement
are entitled to receive approved
drugs on prescription, free of
charge. A card should be mailed
to you automatically, but if you
qualify for this assistance and
have not received the drug
benefit card, please contact the
Ministry - either Revenue or
Community & Social Services.
Ontario doctors, dentists and
pharmacists have a list of drugs
approved by the Ministry of
Health which may be dispensed
free of charge under the Drug
Benefits programme.
For the majority of people in
the Province, the most in-
teresting aspect of Wintario is the
possibility that, if Lady Luck
smiles in the right direction, they
may be one of the "Big Winners".
However, the main objective of
the/ Government in putting this
scheme into effect was to raise
funds for the support and en-
couragement of cultural and
recreational activities.
The revenue from each one-
dollar Wintario ticket purchased
is divided as follows:
38 cents allocated to grants
42 cents to prizes,
13 cents to sales commission
and
7 cents to administration costs.
Grants are available for
projects in five broad areas:
Arts support, sports and fit-
ness, public libraries,
multicultural activities and
heritage conservation. The
amount of grant varies with the
type of project and the category
into which it is placed.
Basically, there are two types
of Wintario Grant. The first is an
operating grant, awarded on a
one-time basis, for a specific
project or need. Requests are
only considered before the event,
and applicants are requested to
supply detailed information on
the proposed budget, other
sources of funding, structure of
the organization, and the names
of the organization, and the
names of people in the com-
munity who support the project.
Wintario supplies a simple 4p-
plication form and experience
has proven that applications tend
to be processed more quickly if
very detailed information is
supplied.
The second type of Wintario
grant is for capital requirements.
Here the funding procedure is
more complicated, and on a
"matching" basis. In Southern
Ontario, eligible projects receive
up to one-third funding (after all
other federal and provincial
grants have been deducted).
However, Wintario will only
"match" all corporate and
private funding on a dollar-for-
dollar basis.

Personals
Miss Dianne Corbett of the
University of Guelph spent the
weekend with her parents, Mr. &
Mrs. Charles Corbett and David.
Mr. & Mrs. George Prest
visited recently with Mr. & Mrs.
Jack Atkinson and family of
Lucan.
Gordon Morley visited on
Sunday afternoon with Jim
Dixon.
Ontario, Wintarlo's contribution,
would amount to half the cost of
the project after other grants
have been deducted and every
corporate and private dollar
would be matched by $2 from the
lottery funds, The procedure
varies slightly for multicultural
or special purpose facilities.
Wintario has defined "capital" as
"the purchase, construction,
restoration or alteration of
buildings (or land), site works or
permanent equipment".
All facilities must be owned by
an incorporated non-profit
organization, a municipality or a
public agency. They must be
available to the general public
and there must be a demon-
strated ability to sustain
operation costs.
If your club or organization fits
into one of the above categories
and you are looking for financial
assistance, please drop me a line
or give me a call to see if I can be
of assistance to you, I can put you
in touch with the Wintario people
for advice and assistance,
provide letters of support and
ensure that your application is
processed as quickly as possible.
