(photo by Lou -Ann DeBruyn) Huron welfare requirement challenged Huron County's social services depart- ment policy of requiring employable welfare recipients to participate in a job search program has been challenged, county council was told at its regular December session. The county's social ser- vices director, John McKinnon told council one of the county's welfare recipients has returned to take part in the job search and claims it is unconstitutional for welfare ad- ministrators to demand one. In an inter- view following the meeting, McKinnon said the challenge is scheduled to be heard at a private closed hearing in Goderich later this month. "If that person wins his case, it will have far-reaching implications," McKinnon warned members of council. Information SWITCH TO WHERE THE SMART MONEY IS GETTING MORE.

At that time, Mr. McKinnon was responding to questions from Bayfield Reeve Dave Johnston who wanted to know why the department had employable people on its welfare rolls when some employers are unable to find people to work for them. The Village of Bayfield has ,been advertising unsuc- cessfully for months in an attempt to find people willing to do some work for the municipality, Mr. Johnston said. He suggested "something's wrong m the county" when it is difficult to hire anybody to do the . work. "The problem is that maybe employers can't afford to pay them as much to work as the government pays them not to," Johnston said. Tuckersmith Township Reeve Bob Bell asked Mr. McKinnon the extent to which the department follows up on job search sheets turned in by the welfare recipients. McKinnon admitted that not much follow up takes place since personal- contact by the department is almost certain to jeopar- dize any prospective employment for the recipient who is, actively meeting a job. McKinnon's warning of far-reaching im- plications should the challenger's claim be upheld at the private hearing prompted Mr. Johnston to suggest that "if that hap- pens, then you will have 32 more people (from county council) applying for welfare." y;•:vris Rade lhaek A DIVISION OF WHEELER ELECTRONICS LTD. 70 The Square, Goderlch 524-7171 BENJAMIN 1111P1 A uy041 tto4011.4#010 PAM, C0111,04,uv rA w t CAMPBELL'S ANO ANOREI ROYAL BANK BLOCK taocie 1ICH 7 e 50' sire 50* on a rand KODACOLOAVR Film or KOOACOUNI'VR.G Film. a (m,nknum 1S epoturee esen roAi cppo, $g,�'M�. 4M1N old 'cmNo NIVIVLEALEM$ 2r tAiv 50.
