"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." Beverley Elaschuk, Home Economics teacher, Oshawa, Ontario. %Kw."' .. ., .. • :..''*'F,NWio.r.iOs§w*:owo..;:,s%K,,h,;,.;..;.,.„.;.,..x.;:;.;;?e4x:kiz:,og:..as.i.wxe.::44,.:,,,s.v..,s.,,.,,,.......—.cgk.. 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. Husqvarna "The ultimate in sewing." FURNITURE LTD.

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. On eastern and northern Nine attend Brinsley UCW By GORDON MORLEY United Church Women held their February meeting at the home of Mrs. Jack Trevithick in the afternoon of February 23. Opening hymn was sung followed by prayer by Miss Ruth Lewis. Mrs. John Dyck gave a reading "another year" and Mrs. Trevithick two readings "Throw it out" and "Hymn of Faith". Mrs. Jack Hodgson took over for, the business. Roll call was answered by nine ladies, Number contest given by Mrs. George Prest was won by Kathleen Morley. Closing hymn was sung and Mrs. Dyck closed with prayer. Group II ladies served lunch • 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.
