that a number of.'steps are
currently underway to improve
the, situation for recipients of
family . benefits and general
welfare assistance.
The allowance for those
receiving benefits will be
increased. For example the new
rate a 'mother with three children
aged 10-15 will receive will be an
increase of $45 for a monthly total
of $423;
Other changes will eler the
focus of ,the family benefits
programme by "providing more
incentives for —.part time
employment and help in
returning to the' work force.
The first is a "back to school"
allowance -of $25 per child for
children 4 to 12 and $50 per child
for children 13 and over. These
amounts will help meet the added
expensesthat families face at the
beginning ,of a new school year..
Also the Province will assume
responsibility for the • cost of
eyeglasses and hearing aids for
those receiving family benefits or

When you can get the bank and the
government to help you collect the down--
payment for. a home, that's a good deal.
And that's the story behind the Commerce
Registered Home Ownership Plan.
The Comnierce Registered Home
Ownership Plan is another way we can help
you make more of the money you've got.
If you're eligible for the. Plan, (resident in
Canada for tax purposes, 18 or Over, and did
not own a' home during the tax year) you can
contribute up to $1000 a year. The interest you
earn is paid into your account twice a year, so
you earn interest on your interest,

come tax relief, there's the long range benefit
of accumulited interest.
Think of it. Once you've reached your
maximum $10,000 lifetime limit, you'll have a
nice tidy sum of money, worth a lot more than
$10,000. ,
Ask one of our over 1600 Commerce
managers for details.
Just think, you can now benefit from
saving money and avoiding taxes when you
buy a home of your Own in a few years.
And that's a pretty good deal.
