JOE WALKER 357.3558 Bluevale Women's Insti- tute met at the home of Mrs. Robert Fraser. Mrs. Bert Garniss opened the meeting. The roll call, "Is your Will Updated" was answered by 13 members and 12 visitors. Guest speaker, Murray Elston, MPP was introduced by Mrs. Harry Elliott. Mr. Elston spoke on the Family Law Reform Act. He cited the case of Mrs. Murdock, in Western Canada, to point out the need for the new act. A woman had few legal rights to recovering money if a marriage broke up under the old law. She could recover assets brought into the marriage, her own money used to purchase property, machinery, stock and some- times compensation for extra long hours of labour. The new act recognizes all the former compensation and also work done in the home, work done rearing children, money used for groceries and clothing. The assets, e.g. house, furniture, car are split 50-50. The division of busi- ness assets often poses pro- blems which must be worked out by legal means. Mr. Elston pointed out the benefits this law has brought to women but wondered if it has tended to over-simplify divorce so couples rush into separation before getting ad- equate counselling. He stated there is no money made by 'splitting', it just makes a bad financial situation worse. A 1Viely question and answer period followed when wills, common law relation- ships and the work of an M.P.P. were discussed.
