Sandra worries about the hour or two her 10 and eight-year-old children spend alone between the time they arrive home on the bus and before she gets home from work. Linda has twins, four months old and a two-year-old but never has a break or a chance to get away on her own. John and Melissa worry about leaving their small children unattended while they do barn chores. Child care is a real issue for families living in Huron County. Many rural women from across the province identified daycare as a priority issue in a recent study conducted by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Women Today members are concerned about the variety of problems of many rural families in assuring quality care for their children. That's why a committee of Huron County women will be presenting a brief to the Standing Committee on Social Development from the Provincial Government on September 26 in Stratford. "One of the most pressing concerns is that the only two daycare centres in Huron County are being forced to raise their fees out of the` reach of most working people,” says Debbie. Wilbee, Women Today Board Mamber. "We're also concerned about the lack of organized centres in many of our towns," 1 tip+^ . ' .• . In preparation for their prese heti, Women Today will be holding a workshop to draw up their brief. The workshop will be held at the Women Today office in Clinton on September 20 at 7:30 p.m. If you have problems or concerns about daycare or child care, you are welcome to come and participate. Statistics show there are 210,000 pre- school -age children in Ontario, whose parents both work full-time or whose single mothers or fathers work full-time. What do these parents do? • "We will be attempting to identify the 'variety of problems that face all Huron County families with child care needs, even if it's just a problem of getting a' regular babysitter to give parents a needed night out," says Joanne Durst, a member of the committee.

Smile for the Day This is a Gurkha story told by °a son whom heard it,frorn his "Dad' . Although the Gurkhas were adept with gun and grenade they were more noted for their sharp knives. You could drop a hair on the blade and it would be delicately cut in two. Sometimes the Gurkhas would sneak into the lines for a silent attack. One night a ' Gurkhas was creeping among some soldiers when one spotted him, the Gurkhas swung his knife at the soldiers neck. "Ha" said the soldier you missed, - I 'dare you to shake your head the Gurkhas replied. k '•e�if. 7.. ileN PEA+ HOS D BULK POTAT o S -OfRESH FARM "ti OS,. ❑ PICKED DAILY GLADIOLAS O NEW CROP APPLES O FIELD TOMATOES ❑ FROZEN RASPBERRIES And Much, Much More Available Weekendsz MENNONITE HOME BAKING FOR ALL YOUR GARDENING NEEDS...SEE US TODAY... martin is niarket P1...o Telephone 524.8024 '1. mile •ut of S.nmiller Rood on Highway no. t (Huron Road) SEED orders now being Mien these three varieties.
