Arthur i\.nderson, to compare notes. The Six Nations welfare costs for last year were :Jl8,000. of this amount, SO% is sub- sidized by the Province, 10% by the Federal De_:ct. of Indian Affairs and the balance of 10% from band funds which amounted to ~~ 2,000. and hr. 'Anderson stated that 11witpout the Provincial Subsidy we couldn ' t carry on. " Welafe is not dispensed indiscriminately; receivers of welfare are chiefly deserted wives with young children. . . · For men, three requirements are insisted ;.on: 1. They must register for employment : · 2. They must take employment if available. 3. A medical must be produced. The council has in effect a "Hinter Works Program" subsidized by the Federal Dept. of Indian Affairs, and if employment is (2) not taken, th_e council insists that they be employed on the lil. H. Program which consists of cutting wooci., building and repairs to band property, underbrushing etc. -- ( c~:mt I d)
