Do you sometimes feel frustrated, exhausted or isolated? You arc invited to attend an information meeting to find out what "Caring With Confidence" is all about. This eight week caregiver support group. was run in Brussels last spring and in Wingham the spring before. Members of these groups have continued to meet every two to three months to further support each other. These local groups have been co- facilitated by Marguerite Thomas, a public health nurse and Nancy Walker, a home care case manager. Anyone interested in joining the next session or wanting more information is invited to join Marguerite and Nancy at the Wingham and Arca Adult Day Centre on Monday, March 27 from 2 to 3:30 p.m. After holding a public meeting during the Feb. 14 meeting, to dis- cuss the rezoning of Bodmin. Ltd. property at Lot 8, Conc. 4, Morris council passed an amendment. The rezoning was required as a condition of severance, which sev- ered a surplus residence from a farm parcel. The residence on the severed lot and the barn on the retained portion are recognized as legal non-com- plying structures. No objections were received and the Huron County Planning Depart. recommended approval. Local fire chiefs and members of Brussels council joined the meeting to discuss the Brussels Fire Agree- ment. Harley Gaunt, Wingham Fire Area chief, told the gathering that there were problems with the administration of the agreement. Brussels Fire Department is only to respond to a fire in Morris Twp. on a first-call basis and attend until either Blyth or Wingham depart- ment arrive. In a recent fire, Wingham Fire Depart. was not notified and they could have been held liable, says Mr. Gaunt. A decision was made to ensure that all persons answering fire calls THE EDITOR, One March 8, some years ago, thousands took to the streets to protest the inhumane working conditions of women garment factory workers; 175 of them had died a few days earlier. This happened 85 years ago in New York and it marked the beginning of International Women's Day. Since than, we have moved the needs and rights of • women higher on the world agenda: we have marked International Women's Year, lived through the Decade for Women and are now preparing for the Beijing Conference on Women later this year. Despite these efforts, we have made little progress in so many parts of the world. Too few women are accepted as full participants in A special meeting of Morris council was held on Feb. 9 to review the agreement for Lot 25, Conc. 7 regarding manure storage on the property. After a discussion concerning amendments to the liquid manure bylaw as well as having received approval from township solicitor Alan Mills and agreement from the owners of the premises with regards to the terms, council passed the motion to enter into an agree- The Huron County Public is encouraged to attend the combined annual general meetings for the Huron Business Development Corporation , and the Huron Community Futures Corporation. Both organizations are federally sponsored, non-profit corporations mandated to provide support for the economic renewal of Huron County. The event will occur March 8, 1995 at the Clinton Town Hall Auditorium from 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. The business meetings of both be informed of the agreement terms and that Wingham or Blyth would be notified. Auditor Russ Taylor of Reid and Associates informed council there was a surplus of $172 from 1994. A further surplus was seen in the budget of the Wingham and Area Fire board of $65,000, eight per- cent of which is Morris Twp. share. Reeve Clem McLellan and Coun- cillor John Duskocy will take the matter to the next fire board meet- ing. Morris council will apply to the Ministry of Environment and Ener- gy regarding a 1/3 grant for the purchase of scales, installation, scale house and hydro at the Morris landfill site. The estimated cost is $40,000.' The township will receive a recy-7 cling grant in the amount of $8,950 for 1993-94 and 1994-95. A bylaw was passed to authorize a four-way stop at the intersection of Hamilton and Jane Streets in Belgrave. In response to questions from community members, Councillor Duskocy inquired about the dispos- al of wood from trees cut on road- sides. • Council's policy is to allow the adjoining landowner to have first the social and economic affairs of their communities. Women's work is still not recognized as equal to men's, they still receive only 10 per cent of the world income and own less than one pre cent of the world property. In Canada, too many single mothers live below the poverty line. Too few women have access to credit and the required resources to become self-reliant. At the same time, it would be difficult to find another country where a young woman who had found refuge from war-tom Europe could, in 1945, launch almost single-handedly what has become one of the oldest Canadian interna- tional development organizations, USC Canada. The name of Dr. Lotta Hitschmanova has remained a ment. The agreement covers regulations established for the liquid manure tank and the occupancy of the barn. The Ministry of Natural Resources informed council that they will accept the compensation arrangement regarding the War- wick Drain. Work will commence provided fish stone be placed in a 20 meter section of the drain, preferably the McNeil Main Drain, at Conc. 4/5, Centre Side Road. corporations will be centred around a display of Huron County businesses, organizations, and groups that have been connected with either corporation during the past year. The display will be arranged in typical business fair format.

The general and road accounts were approved for payment in the amounts of $82,743.10 and $27,240.36, respectively. Council reconvened on Feb. 16 to complete business from the pre- vious meeting. Residents of Belgrave met with - council to discuss insurance for the Belgrave and McCrae Well sys- tems. Doug Sholdice of Cardiff and Mulvey Insurance advised those at the meeting that the water system should be under the township's insurance, thereby providing cover- age of $15 million for liability and $1 million bond coverage. At present, the Belgrave Well has insurance on the pump, but the McCrae Well delegation was not sure. It was agreed that Clerk-Treasur- er Nancy Michie, Laura Johnston (Belgrave Well) and Mabel Wheel- er (McCrae Well) would meet to draft a new agreement for presenta- tion to council on Mar. 7. The residents of Bluevale and Belgrave will be sent letters informing them of the $1.15 per week fee for garbage pickup. Council will proceed to apply for rezoning of the proposed lots for symbol of Canadians. Her goal was to assist people to overcome obstacles of poverty. As USC celebrates 50 years of progress, we continue to focus on women, given that they represent 70 per cent of the world's poor. Maybe, despite all the international women's day and years, the policy makers have looked at the issues too much from a theoretical level rather than stepping in and tackling the problems at a practical level. Working with women in Africa and Asia, I can see change in the communities: women taking steps to self-reliance. Women and men working together to make their small world a better place by sharing the work and the responsibility.

Many more such initiatives are needed, but they give us examples to learn from. The goals are the same, whether we live in a developing country or in Canada. We individually and together can make a change. We can support small-scale initiatives that assist women to develop their skills, gain access to credit and become self-reliant. We can strengthen the networks of people who believe that we can build a better world for all. The women I met in Mali, West Africa, believe in themselves and describe their conviction in a proverb: "A single finger does not lift a stone, you need at least two or three." Let's join in the work. Sincerely, Fried erike Knabe Director, Canadian Programs.
