Me. C4. W.Holman, lm an chari � Han of the Mothers' Allowance ' e .Board of the Comity, gave quite an extended re- port 'of the operation: of the act both in this county and iii the province in general, 06 the Act, he said It IS one of those pieces of legislation 'that must st be :administered firmly but sym- pathetically, with a -due regard to the sensitive nature of those woarien who in the majority of cases find. >theln- selves as it were sip against it through: no fault of theirs, To such we must extend our synapthy and help with no grudging or fault find, ing, The, Act is intended for ,;hose' only' in need of help,' hence all: the more reason fpr thosnot in need to helpenforce its provisions. But we have foundthat there are some still who, putting self before all others, try to crowd out those less fortunate ^ e than themselves, t may be through ignorance of the scope of the Act and not selfishness many act and not through' belief that all widows are equally eligible to apply. I would like to enlist the county council in helping. ,to overcome the wrong im- pression.' There is also ono• way to proceed to get the mother's allow anee and that is by submitting an ap- plication and fulfilling the conditions therein set out. These•application forms can, be obtained from myself at Godeiich or. Mr, A, T. Cogperr at Clin- ton. Pill those out in duplicate and "send them to me with the certificates asked for. It is not necessary to em: ploy a lawyer. The nuniber of moth- ers receiving the allowance in Huron is 817, total 'number in the province, 3,870. Mr.. G, M.
