stated the Ministry has said
there will be no more than a
five percent increase for the

Bev Brown, chairman said
"It seems to me that most of
the five percent increase is
simply going back into
government coffers." We in-
tend to continue negotiating
as we feel it is grossly unfair
to give our homemakers a
zero percent increase.

invites you to attend the Ex-
pectant Parent Classes. This
caption is seen four times a
year in the local newspapers
inviting both expectant
mothers and fathers to attend
the series of six to seven
classes to learn more about
prenatal care, birth of the
baby, care of the newborn,
family adjustment, etc.
These classes are popular
and are intended to make the
expectant parent or parents
more knowledgeable and
therefore more comfortable
about the upcoming birth.
The classes are taught by a
Public Health Nurse and are
divided into two sections. The
first section, or Early Bird
Classes. consist of two classes
where anatomy and
reproduction, development of
the unborn child, effects of
drugs, alcohol and smoking
on the baby and nutrition are
discussed. These two classes
are aimed at those who are
early on in their pregnancy.
The six regular classes are
designed for those later in
their pregnancy. Discussions
in these classes include
labour and delivery, care of
the mother, care of the
newborn, feeding the baby
and family adjustment. A
tour of the hospital is also
scheduled.

Middlesex planning
home repair session
By Grace Whittington
Home Economist
Middlesex County
Minor household ,repairs
don't seem all that small
when you have to pay so-
meone else to do the work. In
addition to the expense, there
is the inconvenience --like
losing time from your job
while having to wait at home
all day to let in the carpenter
or plumber.
You can learn to fix a lot of
things yourself, even if you
are not the mechanical type.
The Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food, Rural
Organizations & Services
Branch, will be presenting a
workshop on simple home
repairs in the near future: At
the workshop you will have an
opportunity to learn and prac-
tice how to do the repairs,
with the assistance if needed.
Instruction sheets on repairs
will be provided. The instruc-
tions are in simple language
and are clearly illustrated.
with the skill you gain at the
workshop, you will feel more
confident in doing repairs in
your own home.. .
The workshop will provide
some hints on how to pur-
chase tools and equipment.
Lots of tools and materials
are sold in hardware stores.
Sometimes trying to find the
right materials for repairs
and maintenance around the
home can be confusing.
Join in the do-it-yourself
trend. If you want to learn
more about repairs. and
