Mrs. Larmer opened the devotional with a reading, "This is a New Day". She referred t a question Mr. Parsons asked on a previous Sunday, "Can you be convict- ed of being a Christian?"

As the topic went along it was hard to tell who did the most talking - Dora or the rest of the ladies who had enthusiastic ideas to share. Dora led the active discussion mto worth- while suggestions of how to The church was full on Sunday when the Pioneer girls, Scouts and C.G.I.T. of Welcome, put on the services. Mrs. M.

These are the proposals Ontarlo is considering to improve them. Have you ever thought about how much your life is affected by family property law? Probably not. Yet, hardly anything you have goes un-, touched by these laws -the property you owned before you were married, the property you've acquired since, your home, your joint bank account, your credit, even survivors rights when your husband or wife dies. Because family law is so fundamental, several years ago the Ontario Government asked the Ontario Law Reform Commission (OLRC) to consider the relevance of the existing laws to today's needs and to recommend appropriate changes.1 The Commission has reported and now the government is interested in learning your reaction to these recommendations. Should ownership of family property including he amily homedepend on who actually paid for il?... or should a system of co-ownership of assets be developed on the basis of marriage as a social and economic partnership? S houlId as po use be entitled to an interest in the property of the marriage even when he or she has been unf air or unfaithful? How should the wife's ron-monetary contribution to the development of the husband's business be recognized? If a system of co-ownership of property were introducèd, should a couple have the option to draw up their own contract or make other arrangements to govern the property of their marriage? Sh ould the proposed changes appiy to existing marriages or only o future marriages? The Commission did consider other kinds of community property systems including those in which sharing would take place from the time of marriage. As the OLRC proposals now stand, assets acquired during the marriage would be shared only when the marriage ends. The Commission also recommends that both husband and wife have a duty to support their children, and to support each other, when the other is in need and is unable to work. Do you agree with these proposals? We want to know what you think. To enable you to learn more about the OLRC proposals, your Ontario Government now offers a concise, easy-to-understand booklet, as well as a film on the subject for group discussions. We invite you to send for the booklet or borrow the film for your group. And, we'd like to know what you think of the OLRC's proposals, as well as other changes you'd like to see in family property law. After all, the laws are elesigned to serve you.
