years relatively hap pllY FRIENDS SYMIATIIIZE Her landlord neighbors doc tors and friends all sympathize with her plight but can do nothing to help The real problems started in May when Norman the only child left at home decided to leave school As soon as the ministry of community and social services learned of this it assumed there would be wage earner in the house and the $387 monthly mothers allowance cheque dropped by 3121 Only Norman wasnt able to get job until recently and even now his position is not steady So the money the ministry thought was coming into the Franks household does not exist When her husband deserted her eight years ago leaving Mrs Franks alone to raise four children she applied to Ontario Housing for accommodation but was denied for lack of funds She applied again after learning of the impending evic tion but without success She and Norman qualify for two bedroom apartment and there are none vacant say officials Mrs Franks application is on file but with
