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 harmful? 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. For further information: Michael DeGagne, Youth Coordinator, (416) 293-3400. We're glad glad you asked! With Iry Armstrong and Bob Fletcher of 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.

Y 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.
