Such a cleaning house exists in Oshawa, where the names of recipients are checked for possible duplication. The clearing house also serves as a place where applicants can go to register for the pro- gram. It is the filing of names of the roblem here, according e of those who attend- the meeting, "Oshawa is a major centre with a much bigger population than Port Perry," said one woman. 'Here . everyone knows everyone. There is still a certain stigma in this com- » munity about people on wel- fare." » The point was proved later when Mr. Lee of the Legion 'said there was 'no way" the recipients that would create Legion would hand over the names on the Legion's Christmas list to any such : "clearing house' when even 'in the Legion, only three people know where the gifts are going. Part of the Legion's policy is anonymity for recipients,' and because of local atti- tudes, 'recipients count on that very anonymity. The problem becomes a paradox, however, when due to this very secrecy some people are missed. Others the entire operation. "We don't want a repeat of that again this year," she said, "it's just too much of a work load for so few people. We need some help." There seems to be some pessimism about the pros- pects of more help this year. Mrs. Deéeth said the SSCP will send our questionnaires to individual groups just to see where they would or could fit into an overall community program. 'But not much of a problem here. not like Oshawa." The opinion drew strong reaction from some council members, who believed that while less visible in a small community, the problem still exists. A number of those present told of at least one or two people they know per- sonally who.could have been included in past programs, but were not among the around 50 people who bene- ~fited from the program last year. While Mrs. Deeth doesn't agree with the view, she's at a loss on how to prove it "without a co-ordinating agency where it can all be * put together".
