Benefits up
for some here
Wingham area residents who
have been receiving provincial
welfare benefits will get a raise
ranging from 10 to 13 per cent
commencing January 1, indicat-
ing an increase of about -$30 for a
family of four receiving the
..maximum of $300 a month in wel-
fare payments.
The increase will go only to
provincial welfare recipients and
does not extend to families re-
ceiving municipal welfare. Pro-
vincial welfare recipients under
the Family Benefits Act include -
blind, disabled, aged and
mothers raising children alone.
In announcing the increase,
Rene Brunelle, Minister of Com-
munity and Social Services last
week said the province decided
that people on family benefits de-
serve "first priority".
Municipal welfare is no longer
handled locally, Town Clerk Bill
Renwick advised The Advance -
Times, but is handled on a county
basis. Based on the figures for
former years perhaps half a
dozen families might be on Muni-
cipal welfare here. and will not.
