We enjoyed a delicious dessert luncheon as usual and then Mrs. Flora Samells opened the meeting with a poem "What is a Smile" and a warm'welcome to all present - especially Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Hill who have been absent for some time due to poor health. We were all delighted to have these ladies with us again and as the meeting progressed it was evident they were happy to be out too. Marion Larmer opened the devotional with a reading, "This is a New Day." She referred to a question Mr. Parsons asked on a previous Sunday. 'Can you be convic- ted of being a Christian?" The devotional was titled. "Prove it-by you" and proved to a thought-provo- king topic. A recommendation will be sent from our unit that donation be sent to the Indian, Home for Girls in Toronto. Get-well cards were signed to be sent to Mrs. Erma Strong and Mrs. Alma Taylor expressing best wishes for improved health. Dora Martyn had the topic and based her remarks on an article in the Observer by Rev. James McNeill entitled "Retire is a Dirty Word" in which he says the belief that happiness is equated with idleness makes people in nursing homes lose the will to live. Dora has a dream of a nursing home with a work- shop at its centre. People need something to do to fill those retirement years and the time to plan is now, if not sooner! As the topic went along it was hard to tell who did the most talking - Dora or ions of how to plan and:spend retirement. This topic was certainly well: prepared and enthusiastically received. The meeting closed with the Mizpah Benediction. Report by Jean Adams BURKETON NEWS Mrs. W. Bryan is spending a few days visiting with Mr. and Mrs. Orval Greer, Oshawa. Mr. R.

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 survivor's 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 The Commission has reported and now the government is interested in learning your reaction to these recommendations. Should ownership of family property including the family home depend on who actually paid forit?...or should a system of co-ownership of assets be developed on the basis of marriage as a social and economic partnership? Family property laws affect every one of us. These are the proposals Ontario is considering to improve them. Should a spouse be entitled to an interest in the property of the marriage even when he or she has been unfair or unfaithful? How should the wife's non-monetary contribution to the development of the husband's business be recognized? If a system of co-ownership of property were introduced, should a couple have the option to draw up their own contract or make other arrangements to govern the property of their marriage? Should the proposed changes apply to existing marriages or only to future marriages? The Commission did consider other kinds of community property systems including those in which sharing would take place from the timg 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. Ee After all, the laws are designed to serve you.
