"Tax savings were staggerting and if they
were indicative of fact government should
show more interest in this type of service
rather than institutions that were so costly".
Betty- Cardno advised council that con-
sideration was being given homemaker
agencies to expand them. She said govern-
ments were concerned about possible abuse
of the service on a provincial basis and
wanted to tighten up administration of it
before implementing any programs. •
Mrs. Cardno explained that the home-
making agency provides only 80 hours of
service using government funds arid then
the' client receiving the service must pay for
any additional time. She said Ole of the
concerns of governmetn was that doctors
'may recommend that a patient receive
homemaker services. rather than have that
patient placed in an institution. She said at
prestat the doctors' recommendation may
mean the service would he paid for by
governindln and that type of possibility had
to be removed

THE HI ROt EXPOSITOR NOV gMBER , 1978
t rtin
lluron County Council agreed. Friday to
pick up *A $5;100 tab to- keep a county
homemaker service operating•for families in
the county in need of dOmestic assistance
because of illness. old age or handicaps. The
service has been operating for almost a year
under a. Canada WorkS grant but to continue
operating. the service • must: be self sup-
porting 'by January 1979 and needs county
help to meelthat objective. '
Jean Young. administrator of the service,
app ealed to council Friday explaining; that
the. service is $5,099 away from being self
supporting with the' clients it .now serves:.
She said the budget for the homemaker
service has been draWn up for 1979 and after
expenses is that much. short of paying for
• itself. She said The service needed assurance
that the funds would be made available to
, plan operation in the coming year adding
that any fund raising held in 1979 would eran
funds that could be used for clients that
qualify for assistance by the homemakers
but are being turned away because of a
shortage of money.
Mr. Young told council that the reaction to
the, homethakers service when it began
• °peat* proved tha there was a need for lite
service in Huron County. She said :home-
maker needs in the county were going
unawnsered and that homemakers were
UnemplOyed.
The administrator said she. and Betty
Cardno Nursing administrator forthe county • - • health unit, applied for start up funds from
Canada -Works a year ago and began to
organize a homemaker service. She said the
service was designed co-ordinate a
homemaking service for- the elderly,.
chronically ill—disabled, handicapped and
for single parent families With children
proyidng fUll-time, part-time, overiiight and
live in homemaking service.
The Canada Works grant enabled the .
homemaking service to establish itself and
plans were made the agency self supporting
selling its set-Vice on a fee for service basis
and seeking support front community service
clubs and municipal government in the
county.
Mrs. Young said the fee for service
enables in the county its services to
Children's Aid, the cancer society and
. agency to sell individuals. She said the fees
are established on an ability to pay basis
8.c>,--meaning that a client's income is determined
and based on that income the Ice they will he
charged is determined.
She told council that the homemaking.
service has been instrumental in allowing
many people in the county to leave
institutiOns and return to their homes to live
with the assistance of a- homemaker. She
said the cost to taxpayers,is dramatically less
it' a service is offered in•the home rather than
in an institution such as a hospital or senior.
citizens home.
She explained that clients.in the past year
had purchased $71,135 worth. of services
from 'the homemaker agency and that- if
those people, had been in nursing homes the
costs would have been $102.755 and if' they
had been in hospital it wottld have totalled
$564,487.
'.'The difference. in tax dollars saved is
55%, 107," she said. "As ymi can 'see we
tire not only' a vital employ nient. agency
throughout Huron County but an economical
• member of the whole health s service•team." '
Yining said the 'service has 71 people on
staff.iind has sold I0,229*hours of service to
100 different private clients. She said the
ratC charged -health and social out is
$4.20 in a town and $4,69 for out of town
clients. She added that live in and overnight
rates differ according to qualifications of the
worker and the mirk required by the client.'
She told council that 14 percent of *the
population of Huron County is over 65 and
that very few of those people need to. be in
institutions. She said governmetn and
private concerns are strongly suggesting
that home based services be• established to
help peoPle of all economic backgrounds
remain , in their, home and out of costly
• facilities such as hospitals. She pointed out
that some of the direct belie% fo the
homemaker agency is that it permits single
parent families to stay together freeing the
parent to go out to work and enabling the
children to continue their schooling. It
eliminates the psychological problems of
people about to 'enter institutions and frees
needed hospital beds for the acutely ill and is
a source of employment for thousands of
educationally disadvantaged men and
women. •
Paul Steckle, Stanley towaship deputy-
reeve. said he was surprised senior levels of
government were not giving this type of
service more consideration.. He said the

partnership. 1This declaration is also , tiled
with the partnershipg‘offic(j'of the consumer
and commercial relations ministry. The
registration; fee for both sole proprietorships
and partnerships is $10.
Why is this registration necessary '1.Thisre
are tiio reasons. One is to keep track i t hont

The partnerships registration office will
;tell s\ oil. All it costs is S2 for a name search.
The registration forms to till out when
starting a new business are very' simple to
use. For a' sole proprietorship (single owner)
all you hat e to prim on the front of a card is
the name. of the business. the mailing
utu is,. the date the business was or will be
established and a description of what kind of
business it is. Therek, also a box to check it'

change of address. The same card is used for
partnerships and there is sspace on the back
to list thy names of 'the partners, their
addresses and signatures,
Most partnerships are general 'partner-
ships it here the partners equally share
,..osts, profits and management:. A more
..wmplicated partnership iti a limited one.
*Ibis means you have decided to add one or.
move partners who have. contributed a

These limited ,partners are .more like
inicstors and should the business fail, they

business. he or she is only 'responsible tOr

write in the amount of money invested on the
Isict, of the registration cards .
One extremely important Point to remem-

A town is a group
of people.
It is schools.
It is town government.
It is churches.
It is industry and jobs.
It is retail businesses.
They all have to work together. All must
have the support of the people.
Or there is no town.
Give your local merchant a chance for your
business. You shouldn't spend your hard
earned money with him unless his selection is
adequate and his price competitive.
But -give him the first opportUnity to make
the sale.
For the local retailer pays the highest
percentage of local taxes. He most often
is the civic leader who dedicates his time and
talents to his town. He is contacted first
for contributions to charitable projects. He
provides jobs. Without his store you have
no town.
Give the local
merchant a fair
shake
