It was one of those cold form letters where even the signature is put in mechanically. I quote in part, "According to your new federal payment rate, your monthly income exceeds the'level now guaranteed by the provincial government. Therefore as of April 1989 you are not eligible for payments for the Ontario Guaranteed Annual Income System.",She was cut off by nearly $100.00 a month. She, like many seniors is on a fixed fixed and very legal pension. She lives happily alone, trying to keep the home she and her hubby had made over the years. Cautiously bills are looked after, but there is a severe limit on buying. It brings me back to that blood- boiling argument - immigration, which goes hand in hand with discrimination; a word hardly ever heard of until a few years ago...The government seems to want to guarantee financial, housing and medical security to unscreened, unemployed immigrants without hesitation. It is a crime. A very sad one. Our seniors and elderly are chosen lor the uncomfortable back scat in life, & stories for the whole family. 'Mosquitoes, Mudholes and Rebels' covers the early settlement period of Upper Canada (now Ontario) and 'Ooze River Blues' tells the story of a once proud and mighty river that has been misused.

Mrs. Bev Devries and her children had found the cocoon late last July. The kids were eager to see what happened so they housed the cocoon still resting on its twig, in an empty fish tank. About the first week in April, the wrinkly velvet moth slowly appeared; appeared; His wing spanned a full five inches. Mrs, Devries was pleased to show - the moth to students at Newtonville School.

It is special to me: Older Folk and Love Time has a way of rushing on -- Rose bloom, then die; Happiness often, set aside And dreams, gone with a sigh. Many songs and words are written Of peoplè growing old; Some are sad and lonely tunes Laying silently, untold. If I could wish a wish for lové -- The treasure would be found Within the hearts of all our "old" To give, the world around. Perhaps the greatest wealth we have Sits in a rocking chair With patience, love and tenderness All willingness to care. May all our blessings be complete -- Only with otir gratitude,; For the knowing eyes of older folk; Love in its magnitude!
