Wendy Brown first By the Volunteer Bureau _ The Huron Volunteer Bureau would like to in- troduce one of our volunteers. She is Wendy Brown of Clinton, among the first to list with the Bureau after it opened. You probably think of volunteers as predominantly middle-aged women. In the past this was the case, but the situation today is changing — everybody is getting into the act. We want to stress that the main thing in volunteer service is your desire"to help. Enthusiasm can go a long, way toward standing in for experience. Wendy is :0 years old. She is a good example of someone who has overcome her own problems and wants to do something for somebody else. She has a history of heart trouble, and has suffered several strokes. She has a partial paralysis of the left side. Wendy came to the Volunteer Bureau to offer her services for 'whatever she might do to help out. And this, in spite of a considerable handicap which „makes it nearly impossible for her to compete in the tight job - market with persons in the bloom of health, She has done alot of varied tasks for us, such as filling in at the Bureau office while the regular staff is busy elsewhere. She has been able to suggest people and organizations to approach for assistance with our Volunteer Program. She has rounded up a number of other workers for the Bureau, and runs general errands. One of her most important functions has been as an oral reader: she makes tapes for the blind, including reference - material reading for our Director, Mary Ann Kowhua. This perhaps gives you an idea of the range of things you can contribute. Many of our requests "are for volunteeer drivers. since this is such a widely spread rural area with a small and spotty population. • If you need our help, or want to offer your services as a Volunteer, please call the Huron Volunteer Bureau at 48:'.303 ;.

By Murray Gaunt This week the Speech from thh^ Throne opened the new legislative session in Ontario. It was one of the longest throne speeches in history, and touched almost every point that has been an issue or could become an issue in an election this year, There were promises of jobs for unemployed youth, more services for senior citizens, better benefits for injured workers, a pledge of a cleaner environment, and incentives for builders of rental housing. All in all, there will be 67 pieces of legislation to ac- complish the intention of the Government. More money for French A language instruction, a new type of probationary driver's licence, continued rent control, and help for small business were all major ingredients of the Throne Speech. The probationary driver's licence would place new drivers on a two-year probation period, during which they would lose driving privileges if they ac- cumulated demerit points for certain traffic offences. In the field of small• business, the Ontario Government has pledged the formation of an advisory committee on small business as well as a small business management development program and an expansion of assistance to small businesses from the Ontario Development Corporation. The tourist industry was singled out for increased Governmergt aid. Greater promotional activities for vacations in Ontario are planned. Tourism employs more than 200,000people in Ontario. The increased assistance through the O.D.C. will take the form whereby firms anywhere in Ontario with 'hewer than 100 employees will be able to borrow up to *:'011,000 at rates below the Government's own cost 'of borrowing. A proposed new Ontario law governing support payments in marriage breakup limits the extent to which courts can consider an applicant's conduct in making an award. Under a new version of the Family Law Reform Bill introduced in the legislatrue this week, a court may pay attention only to the fact that one spouse is cohabiting with another person after separation, or to conduct by one spouse which is "an obvious and gross repudiation of the relationship". In the new bill, the Government has backed away from a provision creating obligations between common law spouses after two years of cohabitation. They now must live together for five years.
