1 Golden Glimpses .
at BWRH
Now that all the fuss and com-
motion of the holiday season and
the ringing out of the old year is
over, and we stand at the brink
of a New Year, we hope that it
will be a bright and happy one
for all of our readers.
Now that the Christmas decor-
ations and trees are coming down,
everyone at the Home is beginning
to get back to normal, Most of
our residents who were physically
able, were out with their families
for some time either Christmas or
New Years. We wish to thank the
numerous organizations and fam-
ilies of residents who brought in
treats to both residents and staff
members. While they may not hell
the waistline, I know it is a moral
builder for all parties concerned,
We are grateful to the different
groups who supplied entertainment
during the festive season. On Mon-
day before Christmas, the Glee
Club of Zurich Public School prov-
ided the residents with an hour of
music. We had many favourable
remarks concerning this program
of music, and we will be glad to
welcome them back anytime in
the future when it is convenient.
On Tuesday evening, December
22, the Zurich Mennonite Mixed
Choir provided an excellent prog-
ram of music for the residents,
On Christmas Eve, some of the
High School students came to the
home and sang carols through the
home. We know the residents are
grateful to all who have helped to
provide a Christmas Atmosphere
for them,
On Sunday evening, December
27, Rev. Hugh Wilson was the
visiting minister for the chapel
service.
Now that things are back to
normal, and we have our new
projector screen, we will be
showing films Tuesday evenings
again, and holding the regular
bingo night on Thursday evenings,
January always seems to be a
long, quiet month, and we would
appreciate having any groups or
individuals to provide a bit of
entertainment for the residents.

'Discuss Problems
With MPs
(continued from page 1)
growers in the Holland Marsh
area after they had suffered from
an invasion of cutworms.
Red tape had been a problem
with special permits for the let-
tuce grower Mr. Hill said. By the
time they got permission to use
DDT the crop was already lost.
Another major topic discussed
at the meeting was a proposal by
Mason Bailey that some of the
funds being paid in welfare be
diverted to help a farmer pay for
hired help.
He pointed out that input costs
were now so high on many farms
that the farmer, his wife and fam-
ily had to work long hours seven
days a week to complete work.
With the small amount being
paid for farm produce it was im-
possible for farmers to even pay
the minimum wage for farm help.
Why should an able-bodied per-
son getting a good living on wel-
fare ever go to work for less mon-
ey, he wondered?
"Hopefully, someday, someone
will find more realistic solutions
to economic problems, than sub-
sidies and welfare programs, " he
said in his brief.
Mr. McKinley said he couldn't
agree more. Fruit growers, he
said, were unable to hire compet-
ent labour and had to import it.
But the government, he said,
seemed to be hindering this by
saying the transient workers
should pay some of the cost of
travelling to the jobs.
Gordon Hill pointed out that
much of what Mr. Bailey advocat-
ed would be implemented under
a negative income tax plan.
The cost of this so far, Mr.
Gaunt said, was prohibitive. Cost
might be cut, according to Mr.
McKinley, if all unemployment
and welfare programs were ad -
