Women learn job opportunities,
how to pian economic security
The approximately 100 women at-
tending the one -day "Women at
Work" conference ence held Saturday in
the Goderich and District Collegiate
Institute now have a clearer picture
of what job opportunities are
available w Huron Courcy, how to
prepare and apply for them, how to
- deal with sexual discrimination and
harassment, and bow to plan now for
present and future financial security.
The event, organised by the Clinton -
based Women Today and funded
through the federal secretary of state,
attracted women from all
geographical locations and age
groups ps in the county. Registrants par-
ticipated in the morning and after-
noon workshops of their choice, to
learn from and question experts in
various fields .(Three of the 10 options
- childcare, Superwoman; juggling
home and career, and health hazards
in the workplace - had been cancell-
ed because of lack of interest.)
The overwhelming favourite was
"Start and Manage a Small
Business", with Cathy Joyce from
Women's Community Enterprises in
London. Joyce passed on the
knowledge she had gained through
starting her awn business. Handouts
included a comprehensive book titled
"Starting a Small Business in On-
tario' produced by the provincial
government and obtainable from
Small Business Branch, ministry of
industry, trade and technology, 7th
floor, Hearst Block, 900 Bay St.,
Toronto, M7A 9Z9.
"Planning Your Financial Future"
and "Women - Discrimination and the
Law" were other popular choices.
Pamela Stone, the only female
agent in the London office of Pruden-
tial Assurance, showed the women
how to work out an individual finan-
cial need analysis, then take four
steps to obtain their objective; set
goals, decide on their priority, in -
Potentially

Are the low alcohol beverages now
on convenience store shelves a boon
for the adult looking for a low alcohol
alternative or, are they an entry-level
alcoholic beverage with potentially
"harmful consequences for children?
TOC ALPHA, a youth organization
representing 700 young people in the
province of Ontario, feels that these
low alcohol beverages have both
positive and negative qualities. We
acknowledge that there is a market
for such products to provide an
"adult" alternative to soft drinks, but
there may be serious health
drawbacks for those products if left'
in the hands of Children. We hate
recently dispatched a letter to both
MPs and MPPs outlining our con-
cerns. They centre on the following
areas: 1)The introduction of alcohol
to young children of low body weight
may impair motor functions and
result in injury. 2)The appearance of
low alcohol beverages is modelled
after beer or wine coolers and may
lead -c iren to develop accepting at-
titudeMowards these products.
3 Marketing these beverages as adult
drinks coupled with easy access may
make these products more attractive
to children.
In light of these concerns, We urge
legislators to take appropriate action
to limit the availability of these pro-
ducts to children. It is TOC ALPHA's
feeling that these products should be
in outlets where they are accessible
to adults only.
TOC ALPHA is a youth programme
of Alcohol and Drug Concerns, Inc.
1986 marks our 30th anniversary.

HOW SHOULD 1 CHOOSE AN EXECUTOR?
The choice of an executor is one of the most important decisions you
will ever make. Consider some of the duties of an executor. Among
other things he must:
1. Locate your will.
2. Carry out the funerol arrangements, if no -pre -arrangement has been
mode.
3. Probate the will and be appointed executor.
4. Keep accurate records of all estate transactions.
5. Open the safe deposit box, if any.
6. Assume control over all personal property.
7. Do whatever is necessary to liquidate or to carry on the business.
8. Determine the debts due the estate and see that they ore paid.
9. Arrange for the collectiop of all insurance payable to the estate.
10. Pay all loxes and other expenses of the estote.
11. Hove all property; real and personal, appraised for tax purposes.
12. Defend the estate against any suits.
13. Submit a final accounting to the court.
Obviously, this is o substantial job requiring skill, patience, experience,
judgment and intelligence. Making a will, getting your affairs in order,
and pre -planning the funeral will make your executor's job eosier.
You should consult your attorney before making a final decision on
whom to choose as your executor.

Stone said the patronizing male at-
titude of "don't bother your pretty lit-
tle head about business matters" no
longer worts. Women must assume
responsibility for financial plaming
and "if you don't put your money to
work, you will have to work for your
money". She also quoted Sophie
Tucker's adage that from birth to 18
a girl needs good parents, from 18 to
35 she needs good looks, from 35 to 55
a good personality is required, and
after 55 a woman needs good money.
Stone recommended the book
-Every Women's Money Book, written
by Betty Wylie and Lynne
McFarlane, saying it sbould be on the
grade 12 and 13 curriculum in every
high school.
Noting that the purpose of wisely
using one's money is present protec-
tion, accumulation during one's work-
ing years and retirement security,
Stone advised the women to start
planning right away. She pointed out,
as an example that $292 invested each
month from age 25 would yield
$1,000,000 on retirement.
Stone told the women to find a
financial advisor they trusted and
could talk to, but warned "it's your
money; don't let someone else have
control".
Stone discussed the difference bet-
ween term and whole life insurance,
and the various available types of
investment.
Quoting from the Wylie -McFarlane
book, Stone said "The young woman
you are today is responsible for the
old woman you will be tomorrow",
and emphasized the fact it is never too
late to start planning.
Lawyer Heather Ross thoroughly
delineated the rights women have
been given under the Charter of
Rights to protect them in the
workplace, and told how to find
redress when they encounter
discrimination. Topics included hir-
ing, working conditions, equal pay.
maternity rights, sexual harassment,
access to housing and obtaining
credit.
Ross spent some time elaborating
on the difference between equal pay
for equal work and equal pay for work
of equal value. Ross said her concern
is to help women get equality.
"Lawyers should be champions of
equality. but bias, bigotry and
chauvinism is rampant", Ross
remarked.
Ross made her audience aware of
the pitfalls when a wife co-signs a loan
for a spouse, as a co-signer can be
held responsible for the other's debt.
She said applying as a partnership
could mean a larger loan at better
interest.
During question period, marnt of the
queries centred on a separated 'Or
divorced wife's rights regarding child
custody and support. Ross advised
her listeners to keep good financial
records from the beginning of a mar-
riage to ensure fairness in case of a
break-up.
Three women who were now
employed as auto mechanic, foundry
worker and welder were part of the
panel in the workshop on non-
