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. 0 .About People Mr. and Mrs. Bill O'Brien and family, Niagara Falls, spent a week over Christmas with Mr. and Mrs. Leroy O'Brien, and other members of the family.

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 - Obituaries MRS.
