Wendy knows hiew ---=-s dollar. g , "When you're left on your own with five children all under 12 you have to learn fast," she remarks. Wendy has been on her own for 10 years, and with three teenage chil- dren still at home, stretching a dol- lar is still important. "You can always find something for young children, but teens aren't easy to shop for, especially at Christmas," she notes. 'When you're left on your own with five children all under 12,E you have to learn Wendy lives in an old, rented farm house in the country. A partial Mother's Allowance benefit covers the rent and hydro, and about $300 a month in suppbrt payments has to look after the rest. Most of the time, Wendy can manage with a bit of cash and a lot of ingenuity. She cultivates a Large garden all summer long; and cans:freezes or stores all the vegetables and berries she -can grow. She bakes her own bread, raises the odd chicken, and picks her own fruit at the end of the season when it's the cheapest. In winter she beats the house mainly with wood to save money on oil. And for a bit of extra cash, she babysits and cleans houses when she gets the chance. She doesn't own a car, but she knows living in the country is far healthier than living in town. "We can grew a lot of our own food here. There's lots of room for the children to run, and at night, I always know where they are. They're not hanging around the streets, or the donut shop. Also, in the country the boys canraise rab- bits all summer and sell them to earn some extra money," she says. "They're used to doing without the little extras, and since they're not in town, they're away from a lot of potential trouble thatkids their age can get into," she notes. "I'm carefulwith, the money I get, because it, has to last, and for the most part,;tar:Sick, make do," she says. 'But if IAA_ or" if one of the_ bojls'gets src')~Cwe ha?'e,a hard time paying the bills." Wendy is;;conscientious with her creditors; and they in turn respect her concern, she says. "If we've been having a hard time, I calrthe oil company, or the hydro, and, tell them hat is happening. They know I'm good for the money. "I don't have any credit cards because I .know. they can lead to serious problems. If we can't afford it, we don't have it," she Maintains. For a few months she.tried 'work- ing night shifts, while babysitting and looking after the house during the day: "It worked for awhile, but then I got over -tired and sick. You just can't do everything." Wendy and her family were put in touch with the Christmas Bureau the first year she was on her own. Each Christmas, the Bureau pro - Turnberry council Turnberry council has imposed a fee of $25 for opening the township dump site at any time other than its regular hours of operation each Sat- urday.
