ASKED TO PROPOSE AMENDMENT Allow Mothers to Earn Money To Improve Living Standard Rv W, E. Elliott GODERICli--Exeter Council sought support from county council at its June session for a resolution proposing amend- ment of the :Mothers' and De- pendent Children's Allowance Act and regulations thereto, "to provide a higher incentive to work and provide an increas- ed standard of living for the homes and children affected." Passed by Exeter Council on June 3, the resolution petitions the Ontario Government to re- vise existing legislation and en- able mothers to earn more than the maximum monthly income now set. Mayor W. Eldrid Simmons said the proposal had been dis- cussed with Hon. Charles Mac - Naughton, and it had been esti- mated to cost Ontario $10, 000,- 000 a year because it would bring into the widows' allow- ance people not already in. "If the Act provided a maxi- mum monthly income from all sources at $350," said Mr. Sim- mons, "and the mother could earn up to $214 a month before the basic allowance of $136 is reduced, and her earnings were, say, $200 a month, she would still receive $136 a rnonth from the allowance, thus giv- ing her a better income of $366': Warden Walter Forbes re- marked that children not pro- perly brought up may become a public charge, but if a mother is working and children allowed to run the streets they can be- come a charge of the township or county. "If the mother can make more money, she will probably hire someone part-time to look after her children, and they will have a more secure life," said Mr. Simmons. "A woman with four child- ren in the home has her time taken up," said Reeve Frank Walkom, Goderich; "I would say if the basic rate were chang- ed it would certainly cover the point we are talking aboutnow:' "The moment you raise the basic rate," replied Mr. Sim- mons, "you have cases where NEW SLATE INSTALLED Vleaforc Guests Attenc The monthly meeting of the Business & Professional Women's Club was held last Wednesday evening at the home of Mrs. J.

Reeve Don McKenzie, Ash- field: "With four children and no education, probably all the women could do would he house cleaning and the like. Would it not be better to give her more money so she could stay home?" Mayor Simmons: "With four children they are drawing baby bonus, and the children would be capable of helping to sup- port the home and make some- thing on the side, and there will be more incentive to make money on their own. Increas- ing the allowance is all right, but it is like increasing the re- lief cheques to a point where they do not have to work, When you earn it you have a certain pride." The resolutions asks "that a certain maximum monthly in- come from all sources includ- ing the allowance payable un- der the Act be set; that this maximum monthly income be set for each individual family, taking into consideration the number of dependents in the family and any special circum- stances particular to the family, that the mother be allowed to work as many hours as she feels able and be permitted to earn from all sources an amount up to a maximum monthly in- come set by the Act without loss of benefits from the Act. "That a mother be allowed the basic allowance under the Act, provided her income plus the basic allowance does not exceed the maximum monthly income set for that family; "That the basic allowance as provided under the present Act be not increased. The resolution will be sub- ject of a committee report. SPEAKS ON NIGERIA JCW ..nits —o Meetinc, L.

Helps Make Meals Tastier In planning tasty meals for the family, homemakers today find the efficient use of their refrigerators can be a great hely There are several tips worth knowing about making the hest use of a modern refrigerator. All foods, for instance, should be kept tightly wrapped or covered in glass or plastic con- tainers designed for this pur- pose. Bacon and other fresh meats are best kept on the bottom shelf, tightly wrapped in kitchen foil. Mild cheese should be kept under the evap- orator, always well wrapped. Sharp, tangy cheeses should never be refrigerated. Fish should he stored in a middle position in covered containers. A refrigerator should he de- frosted at regular intervals if it is a model which requires de- frosting. Freezer compart- ments need defrosting perhaps only once a year.
