Gospel by having local
churches bring their choirs in
to sing. It has been on
television for twenty years,
supported by Grey, Bruce
.and Huron -Perth
Presbyteries.
In the last few years things
like interviews and news

mid -week audience. Six
"specials" were produced, on
various topics. "A Christmas
Gift" was the second of these.

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.

Promises, pledges, plans galore
4111.
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.
