The meal sbownthat informal, child care
arrangement are often less than adequate
or rel able, ildren are left in front of the
TV, rather than thahheing supervised.
Another illustration shows that a babysit-
ter will,not issue a parent a receipt, because
she does not want to declare this as income
for tax purposes, This, makes the parent
unable to t ce advantage of child care costs
as a tax deduction.
The mural also shows the problem faced
by parents who work shifts. Child care is dif-
ficult to arrange for afternoon and evening
work.
Another woman illustrates the problems
she faces meeting the cost of child care on
her limited income.
The mural also depicts the problems that
Huron County's adverse weather conditions
can have. A winter storm is approaching.
Early school closings have ci�ildren coming
home early because of bad weather, and
walking up long snowdrifted laneways while
parents are still at work. Wood stoves create
a fire hazard in homes for children who
othervvise are old enough to be at home for
an hour or so after school.
Mothers also voice concern about children
arriving home on the school bus to an empty
home. Parents may not be free to come
home from work for an hour or two.
'%1Terlthig parents inay.al.•so haven problem
arranging for children to • be cared for
between the time they must leave for work
and the time the bus picks up the school
children.
Farm families .
Child care problems are not a sole con-
cern of parents working outside the home.
The Huron • County presentation also il-
lustrated the unique problems faced by
farm families.
The mural shows children playing around
a tractor and farm implements, creating a
.safety hazard when both pa ntwo g
during peak farming peris,
children have been hurt and some killed
because there was no one caring for them
while the parents worked on the farm.
The Women Today presentation stressed
that modern farming necessitates much
dangerous equipment which is not an ap-
propriate play environment for children.
As well, many women who share the far-
ming work with their husbands are forced to
. leave children alone in the house while their
parents do chores.
Women who are at home also reported
problems. A Goderich housewife sketched
her predicament, being at home with
several pre-school children and not having
the opportunity to get a break from her
children, for even a few hours.
A St. Joseph's area mother illustrated her
dreams, to use her ideas and creative ability
to start her own business, or to do volunteer
work to contribute to her community. Her
goals are hampered because there are no
child care facilities for her children.
The sglul
msral, suggests t
from elerent se
solution. They could
after school Care They could train ate"p .
,ode certificates for babysitters and provide
1n110* parents with referento trained
teenagers in their area. -
Women Today hopes to make child care
care concerns a community issue. They
believe that local municipalities, the
government, clubs, schools and individuals
can help to solve the problem.
The answers to the concerns of Huron
County parents are not easily identifiable.
One of the biggest obstacles •to. overcome is
how to finance more quality day care
facilities.
Ms. Bolton noted, "I think that we were
afraid to look at the problem because we felt
there was no way we could solve it."
Women Today representatives hoii"e that
the Standing Committee on Social Develop-
ment
evelopment will seriously consider the problem of
child care in Canada and particularly in
Huron County, perhaps choosing the area
for a pilot project on rural day care.
The presentation urged the committee to
"investigate appropriate ways of making
quality, affordable child care accessible to
all children in the province."
Ms. Bolton added, "Women Today is con-
cerned. Hopefully we can draw together the
women who are interested in the problem:"
Anyone who is concerned about child care
facilities in Huron County is asked to con-
tact the Women Today offices, Box 1405,
Clinton. NOM 1LO.
Valerie Bolton and Judy McMichael discuss some of the illustrations made on a mural,
made by parents to depict problems in the child day care facilities in Huron County. The
mural was presented to a provincial government committee on September 26.. (Shelley
