Mother worries about children
Susan has just landed a good part-time job
at her brother's business but can't find
reliable child care for her three-year-old
daughter.
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.
If youhave concerns about child care that
you would like to voice to the committee,

Force blooms
This fall, try forcing bulb -forming plants
to bloom indoors, suggest Tony Hogervorst,
rural organizations contact (Ontario
Horticultural Association) of the Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture and Food's rural
organizations and services branch. Place
soil in flower pot. Place bulb, root end down,
in a 10 centimetre (four inch) hole in the soil.
Keep plant in a cool area, such as a garage,
for about two months. Bring the plant
indoors and leave in a dark, cool room for
about two weeks. Then move the plant into a
warm sunny room. 'In the spring you can
transplant outdoors. Some bulb -forming
plants to try include tulips, crocuses,
narcissus, daffodils and hyacinth.

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.
