willingness by dents to subsidize tho service for single parent and low Income families At an open meeting on day care held by the region day care centre Norma Lepa said she Is com forted that region residents seemed willing to aid single parents and low income famlli Tho meeting tho first of five to be held around the region was aimed at telling residents what a year long study on day care will recommend to regional council and seek public reaction to theso recommends lions Mrs said the extensive public survey on which the study is based projected a per cent increase in the number of day care spaces needed over the next five years The rising cost of living in the past few months caused an explosion now In need for more spaces as mothers are forced back Into work force Mrs said that as more mortgages cotne up for renew at ever increasing Interest rates she finds the prospective level of need for service frightening Acton already has a fair range of day care services available In addition to the Nursery School and the Acton Cooperative Nurse ry School a private day care centre and the Village School The regional day care centre in Georgetown also takes youngsters also has two private day care centres both of which are full Private home day care centres are bomes where up to five youngsters can be looked after and tbe restrictions and regulations arc far different to those of bigger operations she said There are such home In the region Six months ago Acton had only one such home and it had vacancies Now there are two and they are both full While Acton could probably use one more of these bomes the need changes so rapidly Local Baha is at conference that there is no way of really estimating bow the situation will stand In another six months A large percentage of day care arrangements In Halloo use private sitters and only half of the arrangements for preschoolers Involve pay ments Mrs Lena said many family arrangement exist with siblings or other relatives seeping youngsters free The area where Acton seems to lack for day care Is for schoolage youngsters before and after school hours some residents said Eric an Acton resi dent and a region school principal said be still sees numerous children who arrive early and wait for school to open while others are locked out of their bomes at night until their parents return from work fact that schools now keep youngsters over the lunch hour If the parents wish It has helped the problem somewhat be said but here li a need for some sort of program to cover that short period before and after school Spending money to took alter youngsters at these times would reap dividends in reduc ing vandalism and other youth- oriented problems he said The study recommends that present admission priorities to regional system become regional policy Tbe system now gives top priority to single working parents who need full day child care followed by people on welfare who are Tbe earth is but one coun try and mankind its litem This statement describes a basic leaching of the Faith The purpose of the conference held last weekend at the University of Waterloo was to consult on plans for Baha activities in

of single parent families get off welfare or mothers allowance and back into the work force is a useful tool and the regional philosophy should recognize that policy Mrs Lepa stressed that this Is an
