It is ex- pected the problem is as severe as elsewhere in Canada. Studies show one in 10 women are beaten by the men they live with. Assaults tend to be part of a regular pattern, increasing in severity. Some end in murder. It has been discovered that there is little these women can do to prevent such at- tacks and rarely are they connected to her Insulation course held.. e from page 11 houses contractors didn't really know what they were doing. They didn't un- derstand house construction and the conditions in which the insulation should be installed," he said. The homeowner receives the greatest benefits from the course because it makes him technically aware as well as dispelling any previous rumors he may have heard concerning the insulation. The homeowner saves money by enrolling in the course and learns exactly how to han . ie his particular situation. He will also be aware of the cost of removing the insulation or sealing if he decides he .doesn't want to do the .job himself and hires a contractor to the job. Upon successfully completing and passing the course with a mark of 70 per cent the contractor must obtain a business permit from the Urea Formaldehyde Foam Insulation Centre ( UFFI ). The permit costs an additional $195. Response to the program by the few that attended in Goderich was favorable. According to Mr. Godin most were pleased with the course and left "on a high." He said most of the six contractors and 11 homeowners were happy to get the facts about the insulation clarified and most thought the price for the course was reasonable. On a closing note Mr. Godin said that future homeowners should be aware that if they want to apply for government for- maldehyde improvement grants they ghoul be registered with UFFI head office in Ottawa wa yno later than June of this year. Work -does not have to be complleted by that date but registration must be done in order to receive financial aid. r NO FEES o NO CHARGES CD`' RENTLY P ,YIiNG ®P4 THE VARI ,KLUPLAN DEADLINE FOR 1982 TAX YAR IS MARCH 1. 1983 2% CLINTONCCOMMUNITY CREDIT UNION 70 Ontario St., Clinton 482-3461 374 mein St. South, Exeter 235-0640 e people with the plate of a Iifeti •e.
