The service opened with a hymn sing of some of the old favourites and the message was "You are of Value". It is so easy to feel unwanted and useless when the senior years catch up with you, but God still thinks of everyone as important because we are all the children of God. Remembering this fact gives one a sense of value living in God's will fulfilling our worth. The children's talk was about being kind and serving others. Junior congregation was held for the first Sunday and will continue through the summer for all children up to and including, eight years of age. Mary Moffatt was at the organ and led the choir in the anthem "0 Love of God" by Eric H. Thiman. The service concluded with a hymn for senior Christians "0 God Thy Constant Care and Love" by H. Glen Lanier. Flowers in the pedestals on either side of the pulpit were in loving memory of Mrs. Elizabeth Fuss, placed there by her family. Those in front of the pulpit were plated ,in loving memory of Norm Harvey, placed by his daughter, Mrs. Reta Scholl. Next Sunday, the service will be at 10:30 a.m. and will be held in the arena so that visitors to the Fiddler's contest may visit with us more easily.

Continue move for senior facilities John Doherty discussed the features of private, non- profit, rental housing at a public meeting on senior citizens housing in Hensall, Wednesday. Doherty, a program of- ficer of Canada Mortgage and Housing (CMHC), ad- dressed the Hensall United Church senior citizens housing committee and interested community members. The committee plans to form a non-profit cor- poration to begin work on a senior's housing project in the village. Doherty explained the CMHC sponsors these types of projects to assist people who can't find suitable, affordable housing. The project must be ad- ministered by a community group which is incorporated as a charitable organization. CMHC arranges a mor- tgage subsidy to construct the building and assists rents. Doherty stressed the CMHC must approve the location of the project and its economic viability. He said the group should now be conducting a needs and demand study, as the CMHC is ready to consider the project if the need and demand is shown. The survey would question the person's income and sources, the person's assets and mortgage, if any, on the place they are now living, and what is required in terms of housing and what rent could be afforded. Doherty said the forms should be filled out honestly and openly to determine the actual needs. He said that the CMHC does not check on data like bank account balances unless the person is requesting rent assistance. Doherty noted it was crucial to the success of the project that the majority of the people renting could afford market rates. Since the project would be to provide a modest housing program, Doherty said the CMHC limits the size and type of apartment housing. In a 25 unit building, Doherty said, only 10 percent of the units may be two bedroom, and the CMHC will not consider single bedroom units much larger then 500 square feet. CMHC also approves a maximum unit cost for the construction and will not allow the group to pay more than that. Doherty said there was no need for the group to provide equity if the project is economically feasible and a need and demand is shown. Subsidies would be based on the total cost of the, project and any equity the group may wish to put into the project lowers the loan required without affecting the subsidy. The group would borrow the money to build at market interest rates and the CMHC would set up subsidies based on the dif- ference between the interest rate and a rate 01 two per- cent. In effect the corporation would be paying off a loan at two percent interest. Harold Taggert, of the Hensall United Church congregation, will be legal advisor for a group to be incorporated under the name the Hensall and District United Senior Citizen's Housing Inc. This would be a vehicle to work with he said and a legal entity as required by the CMHC. A charter and directors for the corporation would be set up, to conduct the required studies and apply to CMHC for assistance. The directors would act for the community Taggert said, to bring the operation to a conclusion. The corporation would be a board of management for the project when completed. Bill Fuss, chairman of the church's housing committee, said funds have been raised to pay for the costs of in- corporation. Taggart said the first step was incorporation and the group "must determine if Hensall has a need that can't be served by private en- terprlse - if the people need it and can't afford it then the CMHC comes in." He noted too If the project was not viable or there was Persona Is Mr. and Mrs. Austin Wheeler of Detroit, Michigan visited over the weekend with their aunt, Mrs. Mabel Munn.
