PAGE 12, WEDNESDAY, MAY 14, 1975, WHITBY F REE PRESS Q. I've seen signs on apartment buildings saying "NO STUDENTS". Isn't there some kind of law against this kind of discrimination? A. What you must remember is that under our law, a landlord is free to practice any sort of discrimination except what is expressly prohibited by law. Ontario has an anti-discrimination statute known as the Ontario Human Rights Code. The Code prohibits discrimination in most housing accommodation on the basis of race, creed, colour, sex, marital status, nation- ality, ancestry, or place of national origin. Since students as such don't fall into any of these categories, it appears that it is still perfectly legal to discriminate against them. Q. I've thought of saving some money and making my will on one of those forms they -sell at the stationary store. Are there any particular formalities about signing it and so forth? A. We wouldn't advise anyone to use one of these home- made wills. They are worded in general language, and you may not end up making the dispositions of your property you would have wished. However, if you insist, the requirements are these: A will must be in writing. It must be signed by the testator (that is, the person whose will it is) or by some- one else for him and, at his request. And the signature must be made in the presence of at least two attesting witnesses, who must also sign. Like the new curly & super-curly looks? Our expert stylists can achieve these styles for YOU with innovative new methods. Come in and sit under the infra-red lights! Q. Is there anything I should know before I sign my brother's will as a witness? A. Yes, there certainly is. Under Ontario's Wills Act, most gifts or other dispositions of property to an attest- ing witness under a will arc invalid. Q. Our church was considering getting together and adopting an Indian or Eskimo child. How can we go about it? A. You can't. The Child Welfare Act of Ontario specifies that not more than one person can adopt a child unless the applicants, are husband and wife.

Cheshire Home Houses 12 Durham Region's first Cheshire Home at 829 Sim- coe Street North in Oshawa which will accomodate 12 residents is presently being prepared and applications are now being accepted. Cheshire Homes, founded in England by Group Captain Cheshire in 1948, andrrow beginning to fill a great need in Canada, offer a stimulating environment for handicapped people. By fully encouraging participation in the house- hold and involvement in the the 'general community, the homes are making it possible for their residents to achieve independence and fulfilment. All the qualities found in a "normal home" will be est- ablished at the Durham Re- gion Cheshire Home. It is to have an intimate warm accepting environment. To provide residential accommodation (to be run as far as possible on the line of a home and not an institu- tion) for the care, general well-being and where possible rehabilitation of men and women, regardless of creed, who are physically disabled. The residents will assist in running their home and will have a decisive role in deter- mining what the goals are and how their goals are to be achieved. They will be ex- pected to assist each other and share household chores as they are able. Staff are to be selected primarily on the basis of their personal qualities. They will be expected to assist, guide and encourage the utmost self-reliance in residents. Residents will be expected to utilize to the fullest the surrounding community facilities. The home has been established in an active com- munity area, in order to pro- vide proximity to those facil- ities which promote integra- tion in the community. WHO IS ELIGIBLE? Any physically handi- capped (nlot necessarily wheelchair bound) iale or female 18 years or over, possibly needing assistance with activities of daily living such as eating, dressing and toiletting are eligible. However, applicants should not be limited intellectually to the point where they can't contribute to a family atmosphere. After a 90 day adjustment period, the application form will be reviewed by both sides, that is the resident and the admissions board. It is strongly suggested that if it is feasible, the resident should return home for two weeks at that time. The permanent admissions decision will involve ail parties - the applicant, the residents and the admissions board. AIl applications will be processed by the admissions board.
