BRUSSELS WINHAM 887,6453 357.2711 Children's Aid offers debt counselli The Liberal Party has captured 102 seats in a sweeping victory in last week's provincial election in the provinced of Quebec. In the 110-seat National Assembly, the Parti Quebecois elected six members, the Creditiste Party elected two. Parti Quebecois Leader Rene Levesque, Union Nationale Leader Gabriel Loubier and Creditiste Leader Yvon Dupuis all went down to defeat. : Prime Minist er Trudeau has described the Liberal win as "a great triumph for federalism over separatism." CANADA IN THE SUEZ' External Affairs Minist er Mitchell Sharp announced in the House of Commons that Canada will supply troops to provide logistic back-up for the United Nations emergency force in the Suez Canal area. Some 300-400 Canadian soldiers will be in the Middle East within a week. Defence Minister James Richardson said that eventually Canada's force'in the Middle East may number as high as 1,500. Mr. Sharp told theCommons that the emergency fore° has been committed b y the United Nations for six months. Hydro overi.ch "'It is diScriminatory and unjust for farmers to have to pay a larger percentage of the upcoming hydro price hike announced today, than city-dwellers," says Gordon Hill, President, Ontario Federation of Agriculture. Mr. Hill referred to Ontario Hydro's announcement that ef- fective January 1, 1974, farmers, will pay an average of 120 per cent more for their hydro. The increase will vary between eight 'and 16 per cent. Most urban- dwellers will pay an increase of seven and one-half per cent. "Farmers use one heck of a lot of hydro in this province. In 1972, we spent $14,236,000. Then, this past February, rates went up about 10 per cent. Now, in less than a year, farmers are hit with a second increase. These two increases alone will add more than one and one-half million dollars to the' cost of producing food, before the produce even leaves the farm, "Farmers don't have bottomless Melville VfilVIS The W.M.S. of Melville Church met in the church parlor for their November meeting with fourteen members answering the roll call with a verse containing the word "change."

Mr. Nixon's victory came on the third ballotE federal member of Parliament Normcafik came second and MPP Donald Deacon ran third. Robert Nixon has served as 'Ontario Liberal Leader since 1967. WHOLESALE PRICES DROP Statistics Canada reported that wholesale price on food and industrial goods decreased in September. The. major factors in the decline were a 4.9 % drop in prices of animal products and a 1.2% drop in prices for.vegetable products, • Consumer Affairs Minister Herb Gray said in the . House of Commons that the government will watch to see if the consumer will benefit from the ' lower wholesale prices, urging farms The Children's AM Society of Huron county had noted a recurring theme of family debt and money mismanagenient in its services to families over the • years, leading in some cases to' family breakdown with admission of children to care, and in many other cases a cause of constant friction and turmoil in the family. In September 1973, with the backing of- a private community donation, the Board of Directors authorized an experimental debt counselling-home economist programme as a means of tak- ling the problems of• debts and money management affecting families in the community. "The importance of money in our, society cannot be underesti- mated. It denotes status whether we like it or not, and symbolizes security," .notes Mrs.. Penfold, in charge of the part- time programme at the CAS, "with it one can buy goods and services which speak of success to others. Even without money, we can readily appear successful through' the use of easy credit. Some of us manage a credit re- source without getting into diffi- culty; others have sufficient funds to cover mistakes; still others misuse credit and find • themselves in debt," The CAS records would often indicate indebtedness is sympto- matic of deeper problems arid may be due to a number of causes: alcoholism, unemployment, marital discord (where excessive spending is used by a spouse in retaliation), inability to budget and manage money, immaturity with the person unable to post- pone the immediate gratification of wants, feelings of inadequacy, and a desire p1 prove one's"worth. Mrs. Penfold outlined some of the general aims and objec- tives of the CAS programme as follows: The rehabilitation of the individual or' family over- burdened with debt, providing consultation and intercession be- tween the creditor and debtor designed towards an orderly pay- ment of debts, and particularly to encourage a proper sense of responsibility by the debtor towards his obligations to credi- tors, "Every effdrt is made to determine the root cause of an applicant's debt situation. Where necessary counselling by our own agency or referral to another service is made so that people will come to understand the reasons for their indebtedness, and be able to manage their affairs in the future with insight," Recpgnizing that consumer credit is an integral part of our life style, the OntariA Ministry of Community and Social Ser- vices has set up a Credit-Debt CounsellingConsultant pro- gramme. providing an agency is eligible, monies are available in the form of a provincial grant on a shared basis with the local community in •an amount up to 60%, with the remaining per- centage coming from the local community. In 1971' the Ontario Association of Credit Counsel- ling Services was formed. The, loCal Children's Aid •Society is now a member of this body along with several. Family Service agencies and established Credit Counselling agencies throughout the province, Up to this point in time established agencies with shared provincial funding have been limited to most of the larger cities in the province. The local CAS experiment is seen as the first stage in gathering data that will portray the incidence, pre- valence and distribution of prob- lems and need in the community for' the establishment of a more formalized program,' Still in its infant stage, the CAS has seen the need to combine the credit counselling with the educational and related counselling program- F of A president says pockets. Every time we come in from the barn, the price, of another input has jumped by five per cent, '10 per cent, or sometimes more. There is a limit to the number of price increases ,that farmers can absorb, and we 'have long passed that limit." Mr. Hill says the hydro increase will mean another round of price hikes at the supermarket. 'Consumers•too have their limit as to how much they will pay for food. When Ontario Hydro is subsidized by taxpayers, ' both consumers and farmers need and deserve a very thorough justifica- tion for this 20 per cent increase inside of one year". 11—TH EBRUSSELS POST, NOVEMBER 7, 1973 InoA of a home economis person of Mrs, penfold services are purchased Society.
